CHICAGO, Nov. 1»— (U. P.)
— The International. Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and
EuFinemen met here ’ today to
consider demanding “wartime
wages” from all railroads on
the continent.
* The conference which opened
today la a special meeting called
for the specific purpose of con
sidering the negotiation of a
wage agreement with the rail
roads. The presept agreement
expires January 1, although u
clause In the contract permits
cancellation of Its provisions
on 30 days' notice.

out, that their pay was slashed
by the Railway Labor Board--
a, total of 12 per cent being tak
