 STRIKE FEB. Y
Walkout Decision Reached at Meeting of General Chairmen-Is to Force Demands for Increased Wages for Workers
IRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1

DETROIT, Mich- Feb. 9-Orders di- recting three hundred thousand mem bers of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and work at a. m. Tuesday, February IT, were going out tonight to the various lctals of the organization.
 Decision to order the men out was announced by Allan E. Barker, grand president Of the or ganiaztion, follow Ing meeting today of the general chairman of the brotherhood. The strike can be averted only if the rail- i, road administration before Saturday grants wage increases demanded last summer, MT. Barker said tonight.
 Strike Orders Dispatched
 The orders have gone out" he de- clared, and we would require two or three days to cancel them
 The strike. ill addition to wage in creases requested last summer is to secure uniform rate from coast to coast It would affect Storehouse em- ployes; stationary firemen; stationary engineers; steel bridge workers; cinder pit men and oilers as we'll as other members of the brotherhood.
 A committee of 10 left tonight for Washington. The committee will re- main in Washington up until the time set for the strike to take effect It has full authority to enter into negot- iations with the director general, MT. Barker said. With the departure of the committee the conference here came to end.
 In explaining the decision to call a strike, MT. Barker said tonight:
 Ask Agreement Before Rail Return
 The railroads are soon to be re turned to private ownership and we feel that this wage controversy, which is with the federal railroad admins tration, should be adjusted before they ~o1n Arr ont. tfx-z1e have been in conference with the di- rector general for 10 days. He has not promised anything and we do not be- 1ieVe he is going to do so. We decided to issue the strike call before the rail road administration should have the opportunity to pass the burden to the private owners of the lines"
 The public should know" MT. Barker continued. that this strike call is not something that has been de- cided upon precipitately but dates back to last July. Wage demands were presented to the rail road ad- ministration at that time and brother hood memberships authorized a strike to enforce them. We held strike in abeyance, however, upon President Wilson's request that he be permitted an opportunity to bring about re- duction in living costs. He asked for a reasonable time which he fixed at 50 to 90 days We have waited six months and there has been no reduc- tion in the cost of living"
 The wage demands of the men aver age 40 per cent, Mr. Barker said. ad ding:
 There are more than 100000 of our members who receive less than three dollars a day. More than 100000 me chanics consisting of carpenters, masons and painters are receiving an average of 55 cents hour which is about half the wage received by the same class of labor in the building trades"

It was declared the railroad administration had received no official information of the unions grievances and the strike call was set only eight days ahead.

To Grade Texas Pork.

Cumberland, Md, Feb. %. "A carload
of Duroc hogs passed through here over
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad yester-
day from College Farm, Texas, to Belts
vile, Md. where they will be slaughter
ed by Government experts
The hogs we're in charge Of j. H. Eel
lers, of the Bureau of Animal Industry.
Following the slaughter an analysis will
be made to gather data on the meat OF
each group of hogs according to what
they have been fed upon-rice, corn,
tankage, peanuts. The six fed uponpea-
nuts had the advantage of about 70 pounds
over all others.
The object of the experiment is to
protect Texas hog raisers to whom buy
ers have advanced the argument that
their feed has the effect of producing On
inferior grade of meat. Consequently
they are offered reduced prices.
