outlined in the wage scale adopted

chairmen of the Brotherhood of Lo-

probably will be considered along

workers. railroad administration Of
cials said. Director General Hines,
although never stating definitely
whether the demands would be pre-
istration's boards on wages and work
direct negotiations. has said thatsa
wage advance to one class of rail-
road workers would force considera-
tion of the claims OF all the nations
100000 railroad employees.
The firemen's request for more pay
Is the third to be placed before the
railroad administration. The request
of the shopmen is to, be taken up
Immediately. The trainmen's broth
erhood also has wage increase
pending. The conductors have given
notice that they would, ask for an
advance, while the engineers have
expressed a desire for reduction in
the cost Of living rather than more
wages.
The pending demands would add
many million dollars, officials said, to
the pay roll OF the railroad admin
istration. which in it's operation OF the
railroads has met with a steadily
growing deficit for several months.
