RAILROAD MEN
ANNOUNCE STRIKE
100000 Men to Walk Out
February II
HIGHER WAGES
ARE DEMANDED

Orders Issued by United BrOthcrl,0ods
OF Maintenance and Ways En-
ployces and Shop Laborcrs. Rail-
roads All Over the Country are AZ
fcctcd.
detroit, Mich, Feb. 9.-Orders di-
recting 100000 members of the United
brotherhood OF Maintenance Of Ways
employees and Shop Laborers to sus-
ipend work at a. m. Tuesday, Feb.
18th were going out tonight to the
| various locals Of the organization.
Decision to order the men out was
announced by Allan e. Barker, grand
president of the organization follow
ing meeting today OF the general
chairmen of the brotherhood. The
strike can be avcrted 'only if the
federal railroad administration before
Saturday grants wage increases de-
manded last summer, Mr.. Barker said
tonight
"Thc orders have gone out he de-
clared, land we would require two
or three days to cancel them"
The strike in addition to wage in
creases requested last summer is to
secure a uniform rate from coast to
coast 1t would affect storehousc en-
ployees, stationary frcmcn station
ary engineers, steel bridge workers,
cinder pit men and oilers as we'll as
other members OF the brotherhood.
In explaining the decision to call a
strike Mr.. Barker said tonight:
THE railroads are soon to be re-
turned to private ownership and we
feel that this wage controversy which
| is with the federal railroad adminis-
tration should be adjusted before
they are released. Our representatives
have been in conference with tic di-
rector general for ten days. He has
not promised anything and we do not
believe he is going to do so. We de-
cided to issue the strike call before
the railroad administration should
have the opportunity to pass the bur-
dent to the private owners of the lines
The public should know" Mr. Bar
ker continued, that this strike call
is not something that has been decid-
ed upon Drccipitately, but dates back
sented to the railroad administration
at that time AMI brotherhood member
ship authorized a strike to enforce
them. We held a strike in allegiance,
hnwpvpr NUi1cnn'e
quest that he be permitted an oppor-
tunity to bring about a reduction in
living costs. He asked for reason
able time which he fixed at sixty or
ninety days. We have waited six
months AMI there has been no reduc-
ton in the cost Of living"
| The wage demands of the men aver
age 40 per cent, Mr.. Barker said, add
ing, There are more than 100000 of
our members who receive less than
! SO day. More than 100000 mcchan-
les consisting Of carpenters, masons,
and painters are receiving an average
of 80 cents an hour which is about
onc-half the wage received by the
same class of labor in the building
trades"
Action Of the United brotherhood of
Maintenance Of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers in calling a
strike of the membership was de-
clarcd by railroad administration Of
! fcia!S to be violation Of the unions
wage agreement This agreement was
said to provide that no strike calls
shall be issued without giving the
railroad administration thirty days
notice.

| New York, Feb. S.-Herbert Hoover
tonight issued a statement defining
his attitude toward the presidency.
He announced that he is not a candi-

one is authorized totspeak for him DO
litically If the league of nations is
made an issue in the election he says
he will vote for the party that stands
for the league. In response to re-

either one or the other Of the great
political partieis, MIR. Hoover says he
Will wait until 1t more definitely an
pears what the party managers stand
for, and will exercise a prerogative
of American citizenship aud decline
to pledge my vote blindfolded." His
statement follows:

issues, which have grown out of the
war and are new. with clear pur-
pose looking to the welfare of our
people and that candidates capable Of
carrying out this work should be
nominated.

groups who seek to set aside our con-
stitutinal guarantees for free speech,

tion Of individual initiative. Both these
extremes, camOuflaged or open are ac-

Heat the tubes enemy

Firestone's lanninated structure-ply up
on ply of thin rubber sheets, laid SO the
grain runs crosswise, produces stouter
tube wall
Firestone introduced the cured-in waive
pad, giving strength at the point of
greatest strain.
With greater resistance to heat, greater
strength and toughness the Firestone
Highest Tube takes the same high
rank as the Firestone Cord Tire.
Think what a small investment this
Firestone Highest Tube is-to protect
your big investment in tires. Tell your
dealer you want Firestone Highest
Tubes.
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1920-10-28

TF1E one aim Of Firestone in building
l. tubes has been to defeat this tube
destroyer by increasing heat resistance.
Firestone's concentrated effort through
the anthony process-a method by
which heat-resisting power of the rubber
is increased and deterioration reduced
has resulted in the Firestone Highest
Tube-a tube that parallels the quality
and service Of the Firestone Oversize
Cord Tire.
Firestone builds this High-Test Tube
bigger in sectional size, which avoids I'm
necessary stretch and strain when the
tube is inflated. Heat-generating tension
is therefore reduced.
