and Firemen to Testify at
Wage Hearing

CHICAGO, July 11.-Subpoenas
for the appearance Of ninety gen.
eral chairmen and officials Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engin-
GERS and Firemen before the United
States Railroad Labor Board, July
"a, the date of the postponed hear
ing on the wage controversy be.
tween the brotherhood and a large
number Of railroads, were in the
hands Of United States marshals to.
day.
The brotherhoods to date have
ignored the board in the contro.
versy, and have failed to file an
answer to the carriers complaint.
The case concerns proposed wage
increases similar to those granted
by eastern roads some time ago,
and a change in working conditions,
advocated by the carriers as a
counter proposition to the brother
hoods demands.
1t was referred to the Labor
Board after lengthy negotiations be-
tween the roads and their employees
failed Of result.
Agreements with conductors and
trainmen on the roads involved, vir.
tually all the major carriers of
the west, midwest, southwest and
southeast, already have been made.
The brotherhoods involved in the
subpoenas have had no dealings
with the board since it settled their
strike three years ago.
