At t-'olumbla the f'ongare SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. IS The railroads of California and other western states are facing ;a strike of their conductors and j trainmen early in .September when t.- movement, oi peristiume nun will be at its peak is the tenor of a statement issued here today by a committee consisting of the general manage" of trans-continental railroads operating in t itllfornia. The statement was issued follow ing advice that the trainmen and conductors have refused arbitra tion on their wage demand ami are now considering a strike bal lot to bo returned Sept. t. This class of railroad employes sub mitted their demands to a federal board of arbitration, the state ment said, and after hearing the case the hoard declined the re quest on J une 25,11127, on the ground that no increases were warranted in the -west except to yardmen, who wore granted 7 - per cent. The conductors and trainmen of railroads operating in California. and other western states aro now receiving higher wages than trainmen In eastern and south even under rucent in creases given in these territories. The conductors and trainmen promptly renewed their demands for increased wages but were un able to reach an agreement with the railroads. The railroads offer ed to submit the matter to a board of arbitration under the Wa.son Parker Railway Labor act passed by congress two years ago. Tr.'s act was drafted by the rail road labor organizations and a majority of the railroads, pass u,ve being urged by both of them. The western railroads, the statement continued, though they were earning well below a fair re turn (Hi investment, In the in t cr est .-t of harmony were willing to (allow their conductors and brake -j ni't-n an increase of t per cent ithe same as was recently granted ngineers and firemen and which would cost about $U, 100. 000 per annum or allow an increase of 7 per cent provided .the em ployes would agree to remove certain restrictive, rules that now prevent the securing of full use of - modern motive power and which rules are not in effect in other territories. Either offer meant higher rates of wages and greater earnings than they had ever before received in the history of railroading. The organizations are unwilling to accept either pro posal and declined thn suggestion : of the United States Board of j .Meditation that the dispute be submitted to arbitration in ac cordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act.' The rail- : roads are still willing to arbi trate but tiie labor organizations affected have refused arbitration are now taking a strike vote. The committee issuing' the "statement consists of 11.
