mamlH of nenrly 100.(11)0 locnmotiM
otiginecra, fiteinon and trainmen were
(ireaontPil to tho general managers of
the several milroad companies in
volved at their hcnilquaiters in dif
ferent jwrts of the count rv todav.
Tho employes who belong to the so
called II ig Four unions ask for nn
eight-hour day without reduction in
tay ami time and a half for over
time. The railroads have until April
'ill to reply.
It is iiuderatood the railroads have
already made a tentative answer,
which nmouiila to a conditional re
fusal that leaves the way oteii for
fit 1 1 her negotiations. The demands
of tho men went to the Wheeling &
I.ake Krie railroad yesterday, and the
eight-hour day proposal was refused.
Tho position of the unions is ex
plained in a statement bv the cvecu
tive committee of the adjustment
boards, which Iihm charge of the s.ib
iniKsion of the demands today. The
statement anya:
Argument Ailvanrvd.
"Ill muking the demuiul for the
night-hour day, the unions feel thorn
soUes justified, believing that trams
can bo so mnnngod that the 100 mile
required of a railroad man per din
can be put inside of eight hours. As
the train service is now, single crew
engines in the switching service, un
which only one crew works in the
twenty-four hours, are often compell
ed to work from ten to sixteen hours
n day. It ia injustice such as tin
that the railway unions want ended."
