cotton costs and higher wage de-
mands facing mills.

TRAINMEN RETAIN !
STRIKE VOTE PLAN
Truma an Congratulates
Mediation Board, Others
On Arbitration Move

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-(AP)
Officials of 10 rail unions
representing 1,250,000 work
ers and the nations major
railroads agreed today to SUBJ
nit union wage demands to
arbitration.
In Cleveland, however, A.
F. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroa d
trainmen, one of two unions which
walked out of the conferences here,
said the agreement would not alter
his unions plan to conduct a strike
vote.
Whitney and Alvanley Johnston,
president of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, left the
hearing, both asserting that the
mediation boards proposal was
limited to the wage question and
would not include changes in work
ing rules.
'Ignore Request
'They undertook to ignore our
request on rules changes and the
railroads did the same" Whitney
said.
The brotherhood chief said strike
ballots had been mailed to some
215,000 brakemen, flagmen, dining
car stewards, yard masters, switch
tenders and "about two-thirds of
the conductors" represented by his
union. He estimated three weeks
would be required to complete the
balloting.
The engineers have arranged to
meet next month to consider taking
a strike vote.
The agreement signed today en-
braces approximately IS per cent
of the nations rail employers.
Management representatives said
they were willing to enter a SINH
lar agreement with the other two
unions representing the other Is
per cent.
Under the agreement two arbitra-
ton boards will be set up. One of
six members will function in the
case of the Is incorporating
brotherhoods and a three man
board will decide the operating
unions dispute.
Wage demands include an in
crease of $3.50 a day for operating
workers and 30 cents an hour more
