Wage Increases Are
Granted.
n Assnclated Press

Bv Associated Press:
NEW YORK, April Il Railroad
firemen and enginemen on strike IN
the Metropolitan district tonight
voted at a meeting in Hoboken not
10 return 10 work irrespective OF
whatever action has been or may be
taken by railway employees else
where. until certain conditions have
been met" II was announced that
the men had no other grievances
than pay. and that they would not
return 10 work until they receive
guaranteed wage increase. II was
said 5000 strikers attended the
meeting.
Insist on Guarantee.
4 statement issued by the execu-
tive committee declared that the
men do not care whether the guar
antee comes from the railroad wage
board or the railroad managers, but
insisted that the men be guaranteed
a wage increase sufficient 70 meet
the increased cost Of living so they
can maintain themselves and their
families decently and in comfort.
The walkout. 1t was declared. was
the result OF economic pressure,
which caused some OF the men 70
quit work as individuals and that
the movement became general ana
spontaneous. II was denied that
there was any ct W. W.ism,' com
munism or any other ism behind the
movement. The men went over the
heads Of their brotherhood chiefs
said the statement. simply because
il was "a case Of bread and butter,
and shoes and stockings with them.
and they felt that their brotherhood
chiefs had been mlsled for two years
by promises on the part or the rail-
roads which had not been kept.
No Figures.
While the statement contained no
figures as TO what the men demand,
il pointed out that under the pres
ent scale of pay the wages OF yard
engineers for SIX days amount to
$3.50; road freight engineers,
$1,000. and fremen from $24.96 to
S29.76. Passenger engineers, the
statement said. are paid from
$3.50 TO $3.50 a day, 100 miles con-
stituting a days work. and that
passenger firemen receive 50 to S4.4S
A day for the same distance.
IL was reported late today that
the general condition OF the rail
roads in the east was materially i'm
proved. Several OF the railroads re-
Lorted that the men had returned
today in groups.
A federal grand jury will convene
Monday at Newark, y. j., TO inquire
into the railroad strike. According
to Asst L. s Dist. Atty. Kressler, he
will ask for indictments against GER
tain labor men who have been iCen-
titled with the striking employees de-
string TO return 10 work

Beneficial Effort Expected to
Result on Market Fol-

operation Of the sinking fund, Will

nOunced today. A beneficial effect
on the bond market was expected TO
result. he said. other officials said
the market in government securities
had already begun TO right itself,
and that bond quotations hereafter
might be expected 10 trend upward.
Explains Action.
Mr.. Houston explained that in
continuing the purchase Of bonds
under the five percent bond pur-
chase fund, the government was in
creasing its floating debt while de-
creasing it's funded debt. He said
that current requirements of the
government were such that, If the
purchase Of bonds were 10 continue,
the treasury would have to issue
more certificates of Indebtedness
with which to buy them.
The five percent bond purchasing
arrangement was planned by con-
gress to expire automatically one
year after the termination Of war,
but the secretary of the treasury
was empowered TO decide when it
had served the purpose of stabilizing
the bond market-the underlying
reason for its original enactment
into law.
Mr. Houston's decision. however.
was based largely on the fact that
on July l. the two and one-half per
cent sinking fund, provided in the
Victory loan act becomes operative.
He said it was not his intention TO
treat the two funds as acumulative,
but to end one with the beginning
of the other.
