COUNT OF VOTE FINISHED
Result Overwhelmingly in Favor
of Strike Arbitration Will
Not Be Considered Under
Present Conditions.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7. The task of
counting the votes of approximately
400,000 railroad employes on the ques
tion of authorizing a general strike in
the event that their demands for an
8-hour day, and time and a half pay
for overtime are finally denied, was
completed Just before noon today, it
was announced at headquarters here
of the four railroad brotherhoods. Al
though no official statement could be
obtained as to the result, it was learned
from an authoritative source that the
vote was overwhelmingly in favor of
a strike.
The full returns will be known at
10 A. M. tomorrow, when the leaders
of the men A. B. Garretson president of
the Order of Railway Conductors; W. S.
.Stone, president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers; W. S. Carter,
president of the Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and W. G. Lee, presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen will resubmit their demands
to the railroad managers.
Mr. Garretson. tl.e official spokesmen
of the men, paid today that the ord-r
for the general strike would not be
(riven until all efforts to reach an
amicable agreement failed. While re
iterating that the men will not con
sider, the railroads' plan of arbitration
under present conditions, he hinted that
if a different form of arbitration is
proposed than under the Newlands act
the men will meet the railroads han
way in avoidiing a general strike.
The contention of the brotherhoods
has been that arbitrators appointed
under the Newlands act on previous
occasions have not been sufficiently fa
miliar with railroad conditions and the
employes have suffered as the result
of the awards.
It is expected that in the conference
tomorrow the investigation of the rail
roads' contingent proposition will again
be the bone of contention. The roads
still inBist that before considering the
men's demands, their proposition deal
ing with so-called arbitraries be also
considered.

TROOP PREPARES TO GO

Only One Mount Arts Badly and He

covers Who Is Master.
CAMP BALBOA. San Diego, Aug. 7.
(Special.) Troop A began receiving
final instructions today preparatory to
leaving for patrol duty on the border.
The troop was mounted. Each platoon
was put through the school of equita
tion and a short drill in mounting and
dismounting. The drill which Captain
White had given the troop last week con
sisted of fragments of an entire move
ment, but this morning he began by
giving each platoon and cavalry man.
fragment by fragment, the perfect prob
lem.
Captain White said he fully expected
when he gave the order which brought
the problem to an end there would be
a tangled mass of horses and men, but,
to his great surprise, there was hardly
an imperfection in the final formation.
In fact, only one mount in the entire
command acted badly. This was the
horee of Otis J. Fitch. The mount re
fused to fall into line at the command
and when Trooper Fitch dug'his spurs
into its flanks the horse broke through
the lines. Trooper Fitch stayed with
him. When the mount discovered who
was master he took his station in line
and was a good horse the rest of the
drill.
Troop A has a new mascot. He is
a handsome yellow-coated collie. Be
ing adorned with troop colors, yellow,
he was made welcome. Corporal Cloyd
gave the new dog a name. King. His
arrival is quite different from that of
other dogs that have tried to adopt
the troop. Trooper, the English coach

off the other invaders. This morning

RAILWAYMEII HERE
DON'T WANT STRIKE
Operators and Employes Both
Favor Arbitration Latter
Deny Unwillingness.
OLD REFUSAL DISCLAIMED
Trainmen Say Managers Ignored
Demands Early in Year and
That Walkout W ill Only
Be Last Resort.
Neither the railroad operators in
Portland nor the trainmen themselves
expect a strike to result from their
present difficulties.
In fact neither side wants & strike.
The railroad managers have made that
apparent in the last few days by ad
vertisements in the daily newspapers,
but there, is Just as much abhorrence
for the bitterness, the hatred, poverty
and the possible bloodshed of a long-drawn-out
strike among the employes
as among the employers.
The vote recently taken by the men
and now being canvassed by the offi
cials of 'their organizations in New
York seems to be overwhelmingly in
favor of a strike, but the men say they
are willing to strike only as a last re
sort. The men contend, as a matter of fact,
that they are not unwilling to arbi
trate. Strike Power Given.
They have empowered their execu
tive committees to use their Judgment
on the question, though. If the com
mittee determines it best to arbitrate
they will arbitrate. If they decide to
strike, they will call a strike. The vote
recently taken by the men. assuming
that its majority is affirmative, gives
them that power.
Indeed, it n apparent that the sen
timent among men favors arbitration.
If they are convinced that they can
gain any concessions from the rail
roads by arbitrating, doubtless they
will arbitrate.
The men say that when their de
mands first were submitted to the
managers early in the year the .man
alters failed to consider them at all;
that they immediately attempted to
dispose of the. whole proposal by ar
bitration, and that they haven't dis
played any willingness whatever to -negotiate
with the men direct.
When the railroads assumed this at
titude the men took another vote,
further to test out their own attitude.
This is the vote that now is being can
vassed.
Direct Dealing Preferred.
But the men at the same time are
emphatic in their assertions that they
never have refused to arbitrate. They
admit that they rather would deal with
the managers direct than to arbitrate
for they consider that they fared none
too well in the last arbitration, two
years ago.
At the time of that procedure the
union representatives before the arbi
tration board frequently declared
"Well, this is the last time we'll ever
arbitrate. We are getting the worst of
this deal, or words to that errect.
That, evidently, is how arose the un
derstanding that the men now are re
fusing to arbitrate. Because a few in
dividual union officials two years ago
said "never again will we arbitrate
does not mean that the railroad broth
erhoods collectively will refuse to arbi
trate now.
Only in the event that they feel they
have nothing to" gain for arbitrating
will the employes committee declare
strike, say the Portland members of
the brotherhoods.
Switchmen Act Separately.
Another element that lends support
to the theory that there will be no
strike is the attitude taken by the
Switchmen's Union in making separate
proposals to the employers.
Heretofore it has been understood
that the switchmen would Join with
the enginemen and the trainmen in pre
senting Joint demands to the managers,
but the switchmen- have determined to
act independently.
This, it is believed, is a retalllatory
action growing out of the refusal of
the trainmen several years to Join with
the switchmen when the switchmen
were fighting for Increased wages.
With the Switchmen's Union concil
iated, the managers believe that they
can handle their business satisfactorily
in the event the other unions go out.
With the exception of engineers, they
say, it is not difficult to train men in
a "short while to do the work of the
men who threaten to go out.
