RAILROAD VETERANS
VOLUNTEER SERVICES
Men on Retired List offer to
Work in the Event General
Strike is Called.

So far as the local officials of the
railroads with terminals In this city
are concerned in the threatened strike
of their employees, It was stated today
they are simply marking time and
awaiting developments tomorrow IN
Chicago when the representatives Of
the unions. the railroad executives and
OF the United States Railroad Labor
BOARD are expected 10 have their CON
ference to consider the situation and
u possible arrive at some basis on
which a settlement satisfactory 10 ali
concerned may be reached. The ont.
come OF this meeting is beirg awaited
b. all railroad men here with the
keenest interest
Although there has been nothing
official received here relative To the
situation preparations 10 meet anv
emergency that may arise are going
forward apace. Applications are SIN
being received from mon vino are will
ling TO accept positions on the roads
70 MI the vacancies Of any who may
quit work and while the total number
IN hand 10 date Is unknown II is es-
timated there are sufficient men avail
able to perform all the usual work of
any Of the lines
Among the assurances OF ioyaItv re-
ceived by the officials Of tho Pennsvl-
vanla railroad are many from the men
who have been retired and placed On
the pension list. II was stated a,,-
thoratively today that practically All
OF this company's retired ernnloves
nave come forward and volunteered 10
40 whatever they could wherever thew
could in the event their services ara
needed. Many Of them are old ana q
y doubtful II some OF these old train
men could again take command IN
nc cab of an engine. but officials figure
they could be placed elsewhere IN less
exacting positions aud thereby re-
lease younger men for the more trv-
ing positions.
In railroad circles. however. the hone
was expressed the difficulties would be
removed and that the Threatened
strike would not materialize
According to the enginemen an tho
southern Grand Division Of the Penn
syivania railroad they are not getting
the highest wage rate paid by the
ompany. due to the fact that the larg-
est type OF engines are not used h
this section. The heaviest engines
used are not in excess Of O.o0o
pounds and the rating in this section
Tor engineers is from s7lh to 9eL
cents per hour. This rate appliea on
local freight runs, while on throngh
freights, the pay is 81 to 90 cents per
hour and the passenger enginemen
get rs cents an hour.
Firemen on the passenger runs get
% to 80 cents: through freight. 5s to
81 cents;s shifting engines. GO to IS
cents, and on local freight, So to 72
cents.
The pay for yard service runs from
so to 81 cents per hour, and the in
side hostlers are paid from SO 10 70
cents per hour. These figures were
given out yesterday 10 correct an i'm

ceived wages which are only in force
on divisions where the largest type Of
engines are used.
