Xo. 17 4 RAILROAD MEN ARE WILLING TO ST! Will Walk Out if Necessary to Enforce Demands. VOTE ON COAST ONE HUNDRED PER GENT Ahiny Locul Dealers Are Confident Strike Will lie Called and Are Laying lit Fall and Win ter Goods Early. That the railroad employes In the western states are willing to strike for. what they believe to be their rights is fully evidenced by the out come of the vote which has been taken in these states in the past few weeks. From unofficial sources It is learned that In Oregon, California, Washington and Idaho, the vote lias stood almost 100 per cent for a strike. The leaders of the movement had not expected this great showing, having believed that the result would not show more than 9 9 per cent, but when the votes were canvassed at San Francisco headquarters It was found that there were only a very few dissenting votes. i California was especially strong, " and made a better showing than did any of tho other states of the coast. Word is now being awaited from the eastern states, whore the vote is now in progress and where it Is thought j that the willingness to sfriko will not be as great as on the coast. The complete vote as taken throughout the entire United States will be can vassed on the fifth and sisth of next ! month, and the official result will! probably be given out. ' The men on the coast are eagerly waiting the outcome of the' eastern vote, as it will practically determine whether or not the demands will be made on the railroad companies. As the roads In the eastern states are built on much easier grades and are In better condition, faster time can be made and the men are not requir ed to work such long hours as they are in these far western states. However, they seem to be In synf pathy with tho desires of the em ployes, who have not these advant ages, and it is believed that the vote will carry by 75 or SO per cent. As soon as the final result is made known the leaders of the movement will at once confer with the com panies in an endeavor to reach an agreement without a strike. The railroads are doing all within their power to influence the men to vote aginst the strike and to this end are posting large signs in the coaches, work shops, engines and other places where tho attention of the men will be called to them. The strike faction is also posting their . notices which appeal to the men to Btand firm for their rlghls or shorter hours and a better schedule of over time. Local railroad men, although .de sirous of seeing matters settled without a strike, are determined that their rights must be recognized and will walk out if necessary to enforce their demands. The vote on t""e Pa rifle coast has heen practically com pleted and the results are being for warded to the eastern headquarters. irany of the local merchants who are in touch with the situation are confident that the companies and men will deadlock and in order to be aide to keep up their stock dur ing the time that they will be unable to get shipments are already placing their orders for fall and winter goods 1o be shipped Immediately. This it especially so in the case of school hooka and supplies, which have been i ordered by nearly all the local deal ers, and are now on their way from the eastern wholesale bouses. Tlt.lDK WAI!
