VIII Carry. is Belief.

Cincinnati o., June Tho strike
vote ordered by executives OF the
eleven railroad unions affected by a
si0g. 100000 wage cut will be over
whelmingly In favor of n strike. In
the opinion OF labor leaders assem-
bled here.
Though the leaders declined TO
make any public forecast OF the out
come of the strike poll. privately
they forecast the reflection OF tire.
mendous resentment against the
wage slashcs ordered by the United
States railroad labor board, in a
strong demand for strike.
"The decision rests with the In
divldual organizations" said b. NJ.
Jewell, president of the railroad EN-
ployes department, American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, who is presiding
over the conference of railroad labor
leaders. I'VE have sent out strike
ballots, roturnable June 80"
Believe General Strike.
The possibility of a complete ma
tion-wide railroad tie-up, in the
event of strike decision by the ma
chanists, boller-makers, blacksmiths,
telegraphers, signal men, mainten-
ance of way workers and other EN-
ployes to whom the strike vote was
sent, was being discussed today by
leaders. Among some of them the
belief was expressed that II the
strike was ordered, the big brother
hoods, including the engineers, fire.
men, conductors and trainmen, also
would strike in sympathy, stopping
every train in the country.
While instructions were being sent
out today to the separate unions in
volved urging them to take the poll
as speedily as possible, the labor
leaders here continued their confer
ences. Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation of Labor, joined
Jewell, William Johnson, head of
the machinists' union, and the 9th
er labor executives in discussion of
the problem.
Seek Public Opinion.
An appeal will be made to public
opinion by the unions, through
presentation of their side of the
wage situation. Detailed figures
were being prepared today showing
how the wage reductions ordered
last week for maintenance of way
employees, and those ordered yester-
day for other workers will affect
the families Of the 100000 men af-
fected
These figures, Jewell said, will
back up his assertion that the labor
boards decision was inequitable, un-
scientific and wholly without regard
to the living needs Of the workers.
: "The workers." said Jewell can
not help noticing the contrast be-
tween their losses and the increas-
ing profits of the railroads. The
pay roll losses of the shop crafts
since 1920, as the result Of decisions
and lay-offs, amounts to at least
$35O,0OO,00O. Similarly, maintenance
of way employees are losing at the
rate of $3O0,0O0,OO0 annually
"Such a reduction in pay rolls
makes the 1 per cent reduction in
rates, saving $400,000,0OO to the pub
lie, look pretty small. Somebody is
pocketing the difference"
