Railroad shopmen throughout the
United States will begin voting imme.
diately on whether they will accept
the wage proposals made yesterday g.
President Wilson and Director Gen.
eral Hines or go out on strike to en-
force their demands for a general ad.
vance in pay.
On the outcome Of the balloting
hinges industrial peace on the govern
ment controlled railroads. If the 500,-
900 shopmen decide to accede to Pres
ident Wilson's decision there shall be
no general wage advances until the
government shows what can be done
to control the rising cost of living;
sufficient time to effect some change
in the price levels probably will elapse
before other unions press their de-
mands for more money.
What action the government may be
expected to take in the event of a
vote by the shopmen to strike for an
immediate increase in wages, which
President Wilson has said would have
a disastrous effect on efforts to bring
down prices, has not been disclosed
If, indeed, it has been considered.
