! CLKVKLAND, O.. Aug. 14. (&)
Sectional meetings were called for
"tomorrow for distribution of strike
ballets to approximately 7o.inn)
'employes of western railroads.
Wage disputes between the roads
innd the Hrotherhond of Kailroad
; Trainmen and the Order of Hall
'wny Conductors, precipitated the
action.
! A. F. Whitney, president of the
i Brotherhood of Kailroad Trainmen
said hi ballots would be distrlbut
r ed today by 90 general chairmen
' of (he two brothernoods meeting
with their committees throughout
the west. The decision will be an
' nounced Sept. 20, (he fleadllue
for th return of ballots to Chicago
, headquarters.
I About K0 railroads owning ap
proximately KS perconl of the
mil age west of Chicago are in
volved.. Wage differ-'nees have
been settled by arbitration in the
cast and south.
As result of the failure of
recent efforts to settle the wage
uuestion by arbitration in the wes
tern slates, the balloting will be on
-the original demands of the unions
for Increases ranging from lo per
. cent for yardmen to IS per cent
j I'm trainmen and conduct rs,
, Whitney said.
The labor organizations recently
rejected an offer of a 7 '2 per cent
increase because the union Insisted
on retaining certain existing work
jing rules which the western roads
wished . to abolish. Among the
rules In dispute were those govern
ing the restrictions on the use of
two locomotives and the number
'of cars to be pulled by two en
