Chicago Building Trade Unions Pre-
pare New Wage Demands.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Chicago today
faced another building tieup with ting
announcement by the Chicago Build
ing Trade Council of a higher wage
demand.
I'VE will announce our labor pro-
gram within three weeks" James j.
Conroy. secretary of the council said
today.
"It is almost certain we will ask
higher wages. The cost of living is
not coming down this year-and it is
about two jumps ahead of wages
now
Present contracts expire in May.
Refusal of contractors last summer
to pay an increase of 20 cents an hour
drew all building trades into one of
the most disastrous strikes in Chi
cago's history. The advance finally
was met-and pay of practically all
crafts was raised to one dollar an
hour
Conroy indicated the new proposal
probably would be s1.25 an hour.

Seven Days to Yield.
Maintenance of Way Men De-
clare They Will Quit.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 7.-Seven days
grace was given today by the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
and Railway Shop Workers 70 the rail-
road administration in which the
workers demands for an increase in
wages may be met.
If the increase is not Forthcoming
at the end of that period, it was an

ton, the men will be instructed to
drop their tools.
Decision Was Unanimous.
without a dissenting vote the ma
tional committeeman voted to author
ize the proposed strike. The action
altho it will not affect other railroad
workers. The maintenance of way
workers said the roads will deteriorate
so rapidly without their care that
travelling will be extremely dangerous.
Reuben Wood, legislative represen-
tative of the brotherhood at Washing
ton, declared the railroad administra-
ton had been in "collusion" with the
railroad interests.
He believed, he said, that the policy
of the administration has been to de-
fer action on the wage demand until
March 1, when the roads are to be
turned back to the private owners.
Allen E. Parker, grand president of
the brotherhood, said advices from
Washington representatives indicated
no agreement would be reached.

shop laborers' controversy. as indi-
Gated in the Detroit dispatch, was

Sanderson said there were several
! hundred line and shop laborers in To-
peka and surrounding territory thoroly
unionized and ready to follow brother
hood order. but predicted a settle
nlent of the case before the sever
days grace expires
Railway officials did not think the
| laborers were so highly organized ir
the west, but it was generally agreed
that 4 strike would seriously affect To
peka shops. Maintenance and line
repair work might come to a stand.

Lane visited the White House early
today and it is understood he carried
his resignation with him at that time.
Lane announced several weeks ago
that he intended to quit the cabinet
but declared he was holding up his
formal resignation because he did not
wish further to burden President Will
son during his illness.
Later reports were circulated that
Lane had changed his mind at the So
licitation of President Wilson himself,
but these stories were denied by Lane.
At the White House, it has been
said several times that the president
already has in mind the man whom he
will choose to succeed Lane.
