Fifty Thousand Train

Strike.

LAST OP WEEK
Systems in the West Are
Threatened by a Gen
eral Tie-Up.
Chicago. III.. March 27.—The question
of a great railroad strike In Chicago
and the West was left In the balance
last night, following ten days’ confer
ence between the general managers and
representatives of 50,000 employees.
, The strike Issue, which represents
16.000,000 In wage advances, probably
will be met squarely by the roads to
day.
One significant feature of the open
ing session of the conference, which
was largely diplomatic In nature, was
the Intimation given to the men by the
railroad officials that further wage In*
creases ate Impossible. The roads did
not say In so many words that they
have reached the limit of their gener
osity. but this was the general Im
pression.
The attitude of tho roads was con
veyed to Chief Morrissey, of the train
men, nnd Chief Onrretson, of the con
ductors, in an incidental remark by
nr.e of the general managers. He re
ferred pointedly to the proffer of the
railroads a month ago to leave the
matter to a board of arbitration. It Is
said the railroad* are determined to
(all back on this plan as their last
word, in reply to the demands made
upon them.
At a night meeting the trainmen and
conductors settled all doubt as to their
attitude. By unanimous vote they de
cided to reject any proposals of the
roads In this direction. The general
managers probably will be Informed
of the stand at today's conference. The
action apparently reduces the situation
to one in which the railroads or the
men must yield, or a strike will fol
low.
