INSIST ON QUICK ANSWER

Trainmen Threaten to Quit February
%, and Maintenance of Way and
Shop Laborers to Go Out February
II.
Washington, Feb. 11.-Wage nego-
tiations Of the railway employees with
the director general Of railroads, Wal
ker D. Hines, reached critical stage.
Insofar as the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen is concerned, general
strike on lines throughout the nation
loomed, unless pending demands are
satisfactorily settled
w. G. Lee, president Of the union,
served notice ON Mr.. Hines his men
were "very insistent and must have a
definite answer soon."
Railroad administration officials un-
derstand a strike vote is being taken
by the trainmen. 1t was admitted Mr..
Lee Informed the director general
January %, of the unions intention
to invalidate its wage agreement on
the prescribed thirty days notice. On
that basis, it was presumed he requir-
ed an answer to the reiterated wage
demands by February %, less than a
week in advance of the roads return
10 private control.
1t is understood Mr.. Lee has not
the aggressive support of the other
train operators unions in enforcing
the wage demands with the strike
weapon. Most of those attending the
conference were silent, but some lead
ers held they should receive Mr. Hines
full proposal before determining their
course.
White House officials regard ''as
most serious" the situation precipitat-
ed by the orders for a strike Febru-
ary II of 100000 men, issued by the
Brotherhood of Maintenance Of Way
Employees.
Joseph P. Tumulty, the presidents
secretary, will see President Wilson
to place the matter before him, en-
2hasizing the possibility that this
strike may be the opening wedge for
Il general strike of all railroad en-
ployes, should their wage demands be
refused by Mr.. Hines.
