HOLD BACK WAGE DEMANDS
Railroaders Likely to Await Return
of Lines to Owners.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Railroad adj
ministration officials indicated their
belief that wage demands of the rail-
way brotherhoods and shopmen prob
ably would remain quiescent until the
termination of federal control.
A canvass Of the general situation
was said to show a sentiment among
the union membership to await the
return of the roads to their owners
before submitting demands for revis-
ion of the wage contracts. 1t was de-
clared that none of the wage questions
would be pressed upon the railroad
administration Immediately, although
some may yet get before the wage
boards.
The railroad wage boards at pres
emit have nearly score of minor ques-
tons before them, but it was said
these would be disposed of in a COM
paratively brief period. None is re-
garded as of great consequence.
