REFERENDUM

INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERYIcEI

INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERWeEI
CHICAGO, July s.-A monster refer
endum among 100000 railroad work
ers was under way today on the ques-
ton Of accepting the 12 per cent wage
reductions ordered July ! by the rail-
road labor board. Eight OF the six
teen big" rail unions have already
voted 10 reject the reductions but
they have been warned by union lead
ers TO take no action pending vote
among the remaining affiliations.
The referendum was a "compromise"
adopted at meeting Of all railway
union leaders here fer the past week.
It represents the attitude adopted by
the big four" brotherhoods who coun-
seIed a vote Of all rail union men be-
fore any definite action was taken.
The shop crafts workers. controlling
eight separate organizations. already
have rejected the award. Their con-
tention. amounting TO a strike threat.
was overruled by the other organiza-
tions
A resolution. adopted unanimously
by the eight shop craft unions. was
sent broadcast to all railroad shop
workers today warning against any
local dcLlORS. w ME LuG SHOp WOA = .
ers are bitterly opposed to accepting
the wage reductions. their leaders
agreed with the brotherhood presi-
dents that the rail workers must pre-
sent a united front in their decision
on acceptance of the award.
The situation today amounted TO a
vote among the brotherhoods and four
other aciliated unions on confirmation
of the shop crafts rejection Of the
award. Should a majority Of these
eight unions vote a rejection. q nation
wide rail strike looms for September
/. The vote. IT was announced. must
be completed by that date.
The rail- workers have demanded a
promise from the roads that no
further encroachments viii be made
on either wages or working conditions.
Should the railroads give bond TO this
effect. leaders predict the July re-
duction will be accepted. If the roads
refuse. even the most optimistic OF
the leaders admit a strike is inevit-
able.
