THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAy. FRIDAY. 3IAY 2, 1913. RAILWAYS REFUSE OF Increase Asked For Declared Equivalent to Capitalization of $425,000,000. PUBLIC MUST PAY IN END Managers Say Employe Have Every thing: to Gain and Xothlng to To?e, and Hope to Win by "Splitting Difference." NEW YORK. May 1- Managers of Eastern railroads, in a reply to the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, to ,ar refused the men's demands for higher wages. It was announced today that another ronferer.ee of representatives of the railroads and of the trainmen and con ductors would be held tomorrow, when the men will make response to the re ply of the railroads. It was reported that new demands had been formulated by tha men. but A. B. Garretson. who has been acting; as spokesman for the employes, said It was not their Inten tion to draw up a revised set. Mr. Garretson will reply orally to the rail roads at the meeting; tomorrow, and afterward a formal reply In writing: will be sent to the conference com mittee of railroad managers. Iirrtm Meaaa FIT. OOO.0OO, "Tha wagres and working; conditions which you request." says the reply, would increase the pay of the 100. 000 conductors and trainmen of the railroads In the Kastern district by approximately 117.000.000. or 30 per cent per annum. The Increase would be equivalent to placing; on these prop erties a lien of $485,000,000 of 4 per rent securities, which have preference over first mortgage bonds. "If the railroads are forced to pay extravagant wages to men In train service, the burden must fall on the public "Already the traffic of a growing country has overtaxed the existing fa cilities and the heavy burdens Incurred through 111-advlsed legislation, such as extra-crew bills for which the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen Is alone responsible have forced on the rail roads, and consequently on the public, needless expenditures of millions of dollars annually. Demands Deemed Toe Pressing. "All of these factors are making It Impossible for many of the roads to provide those facilities which prudent foresight demands and which the in terests of the public require. "In making demands for extrava gant wages wages entirely out of ac cord with tha railroads' obligations as a whole railway employes apparently act on the assumption that a strike would never be permitted by the public. They seem to Jhlnk that If a strike Is to be avoided, the railroads must give way that the public will force them to give way. believing that arbitration must take place, and that In the end the splitting of differences between what they demand and the wages they re ceive will result In their favor. "In other words, the employes have everything to gain and nothing to lose." $1100 SOP CAUSES ARREST Efforts to Indemnify Two Murders leads' to Capture oT C Chinese.
