DIRECTOR GENERAL
RAILROADS HINES
Will Tell Brotherhood That He
Cannot Increase Wages
But Only
ADJUST THE INEQUALITIES

Washington, Feb. lot is be-
Ieved that Director General Hines
will go before the representatives
of the two million railroad workers
and inormed them thatf their wages
cannot be increased according to
their demands. and that he is will
ing to go no further than adjust
whatever inequalities may exist at
the present time. The director gen
eral is also understood to hold the
opinion that an increase in wages
at the present time is unfair to the
railroad owners in view of the fact
that the roads will be returned to
their owners within a space of three
weeks. He is also said to hold the
view that an increase in freight and
passenger rates at the present time
would invite a general demand for
an increase of wages from all the
brotherhoods, and that he believes
the freight and passenger rates
the country are sufficiently high.

Recently a check roll call of pris-

that the five had sneaked in with a
returning road gang, lured by the
prospect of three good meals a day

shop men intend to strike.
Allen E. Baker, president of the
Brotherhood would make no state
ment early today in reply to the as
sertion by Mr.. Hines that the work
ers had violated their agreement by
going out, but he recalled that the
Brotherhood had voted November
first to have a general strike. This
had been postponed in the hope of
reaching an agreement as to the
question of wages. The scale of liv-
ing expenses continues to rise and
we are convinced that the railroad
administration does not intend tC
advance wages unless it is forced tC
do so. We are therefore determin.
ed to have a wage increase now. All

railroads with exception of 28,0OC
