UNIONS MAY REFUSE TO
ACCEPT WAGE AWARD, IS.
INDICATION AT CHICAGO.
fBy The Associated Press

CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 19.-If re-
ports reaching the railroad brother
hood leaders regarding the wage
award tomorrow by the railroad labor
board are correct, the decision will
not be acceptable and will be reject
ed, union leaders declared today
While none predict the possibility
of general strike, il is possible if the
award is unsatisfactory.
They assert privately that trust
worthy information reaching them is
that the award is so low it will not
be accepted. Some leaders say the
temper of the men is such they doubt
that an immediate walkout, authoriz-
ed or unauthorized, can be avoided if
the men are not satisfied
Both w. G. Lee and S. NJ. Heber-
ling, representing the railway switch
mems organization, said that among
the bitter opposers of the award il is
understood it will be turned down.
but they are working with others to
prevent hasty action by the men.
Heberling said 1.-The conference is
looked upon as bound to accept the
awards of the labor board and the
Esch- Cummins bill does not make the
award compulsory and neither the
workers nor the railroads are forced
to accept the ruling. ! should not
like to see a general strike called that
would tie up the country twenty-four
hours when in forty-eigh. hours the
industries would be forced to close"
John Grunau said his union would
consider the awards separate from the
recognized unions.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 19.-The first
grand council for NOR than a year
of the executives, general chairman
and general committeeman of the six
teen recognized railroad brotherhoods
opened here today to pass upon the
wage awards Of the railway labor
boards, to be made public tomorrow.
Approximately u thousand union
officials arc expected to be present.
According to union rules all wage
increase questions must be submitted
to referendum, but, it was pointed
out today, the grand council is called
to consider and pass finally upon the
awards" so it is not known whether
the award will be submitted to a
referendum or passed finally by the
council. The referendum vote would
require more than a month.
Samuel +. Heberling, president Of
the switchmen's union, declared that
If it is decided the award is unsat-
isfactory concerted action would be
taken by the sixteen brothcrhoods.
Railroad workers numbering nearly
two million ask increases totalling "A
billion dollars. The demands range
from 25.3 per cent for the shppmen
to 66.I per cent for maintenance of
way employees.

The Ensley postoffice, which is Ems

able figures in postal receipts, which
tell the story of its growth and also
the rapid growth of this community,
over which it stands guardian for the
government.
In October. 1912. the Ensley postof-
flee building was completed at a
cost of $4,000, making it the most
modern government building in the
Greater Birmingham district The fol-
lowing June the postal receipts were

Acting Postmaster Farley thinks
that the fiscal year ending June, 1920,
will total near $4,000, or double the
receipts of the past seven years.
The Ensley office has two branches
one esta blished in Pratt City in 1909
and one in Wy1am in 1914.
Owing to the number of foreigners
in the district who prefer to entrust
their savings to the government rather
than banking institutions. this office
holds the record of having the largest
postal savings depository in the state.
During the past year about 10000
money orders were issued and 10000
cashed.
