Vote Indicates Railway Men
 Favor Strike

Chicago, June 16.-(BY THE A. P) On the eve of another railway wage slash, expected to lop off $30,- 900, 900 from the railroads annual la bor bill covering 325,0O0 employees, gossip in rail circles centered today on the question of whether if @ strike ballot authorizes the men to quit, walkout will actually take place. Reports from headquarters of the American Federation of Labor said that the tri-colored ballots of the 1000 of them are voting on three questions on three different colored ballots were that a 100 per cent. vote was expected and that in- dications thus far were that it would be overwhelmingly in favor of a strike.
 Added to the shopmen's vote was the ballot being cast by 500,O00 main tenance of way 1aborers. Both votes are to be completed before July l, when the 100000 slash for those two classes goes into effect. The shop union leaders have even urged their men to have their ballots in by June 25, so that they may be advised of the results before July l.
 Wage cuts for other classes Of workers were regarded as forerunners of more strike votes. Executives or unions decided at Cincinnati last week to issue a strike ballot immediately ft was announced that the pay or their men would be decreased.
