STRIKE VOTE IS
 BEING TAKEN NOW
tContinued from First Page)

| above indicated and tentatively sub mitted in lieu of our original request. winch the railway representatives
 claimed involves 19 per cent in ! crease, the eastern award in it's en-
 tirety."
 1 I've have been in conference with
 the board of meditation for several i days without the least change in the | situation. The railway representa- ! lives throughout insisted on main- ] taining their original position except the withdrawal without prejudice of the local rules previously submitted. Late this morning we were informed
 by the board of mediation that 1t seemed impossible for them to ac- complish anything to bring about a satisfactory settlement. We thanked them for their efforts and then re- quested another meeting with the conference committee representing the railways and asked them the di- rect question whether or not they had anything to offer or if they had | changed their position. They replied in the negative and said that unless We had some different proposition more favorable to the railroads than the eastern award they felt that there was nothing more that could done. We advised them that our ten tative proposition to the effect that
 we would accept the eastern award
 in it's entirety, which we had offered
 in the interest of amicable and quick
 settlement, was withdrawn and they
 forced Us to resort to the extreme
 and take a vote and a strike followed
 and we were successful it would 1T
 all probability cost them much more
 than the eastern award.
 We then returned to our com.
 mittee room and it was unanimously
 decided to submit the matter to the several general committees Of the or
 ganizations and to the membership interested.
 Cleveland. Jan. 6 GP - William c. Lee, president of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen, today confirmed the report that conduc- tors, trainmen and yardmen of railroads in southeastern territory are taking a strike vote.
 Lee refused to make any state ment other than an admission that the strike vote is being taken. w. N. Doak, vice president of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, is representing that body in the strike
 movement in connection with off, cials of the other brotherhoods in-
 volved, Lee said. Doak is somo-
 where in the south.

DC. NATIONAL GUARD

Efforts are being made by officers of
the National Guard of the District OF
Columbia to arrange for motor bus
transportation In dispatching the
troops of the local outfits to their
several encampments the latter part
of August. There is a desire to send
the troops into their training fields in
as much comfort and with as much
dispatch as possible. and so the mod
ern bus idea was seized upon. Bids
already have been asked for the trans
portation Of troops by this method to
Fort Humphreys, Va, and to Cas-
cade, Md
Heretofore the regiment of En-
gineers in proceeding to Fort Hum
phreys have marched to the Union
Station to board a train, and then
were sent to Accotink. Va, where they
were loaded into more or less insight
ly and uncomfortable motor trucks for
the smile ride into camp. But there is
a desire to get them into camp in bet.

can best be done by providing parlor

rect from the armory to the site of
each tent.

and IL the cost is not too great they

1t is believed that the trip to Cascade,

made in the minimum of time on the
buses, and the outfits will be able to
more promptly take up the camp. rou-

period of two weeks.
The 260th Coast Artillery, however,
will be dispatched by boat to Fort

at least 5000 more rooms than last
year. They say that so far the figure
has been 30 per cent under the figure
for the same period in 1926.
