MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, AUflUST 25, 1937. PAGE FIVE REFUSE DEMANDS FOR HIGHER WAGE Conference Between Em ployes and Company Rep resentatives Breaks Up Strike Threat Is Voiced CHICAGO, Aug. 25. (&) The con ference between representative of 350.000 railroad operating employes and their employers broke up today with refusal by 86 major railroads to accede to demands for a flat 20 percent wage Increase. A statement from the representa tives of the big five operating broth erhoods said the action "leaves no alternative but to set the day and hour for the men to withdraw from sen-tee In accordance with tbe author ity given in the strike ballot In which 97 percent of the workers represent ed by the organizations (the brother hoods) voted In favor of a strike un less a satisfactory disposition of the request for increases in rates of pay was obtained." ,H. A. Enochs, chairman of the car riers' conference committee which has been conferring with the union delegates three weeks, made public his group's decision with an an nouncement that such an .Increase would be "ruinous" to the carriers and that they "canot stand even an 8 cents an hour noost." A statement Issued by the carriers group said wage rates now In effect for the employes In question were higher than those fixed by decision No. 2 of the United States railroad labor board. The committee statement added that earnings of these employes com pared favorably with outside Indus try "and that if artificial restrictions (Imposed on employers by the un ions) were removed earnings would be still higher." Asserting the purchasing power of railroad employes was greater now than In 1829. the committee said "the average weekly earnings of these em ployes In the first four months of 1937 Bhow an increase of 13 percent In purchasing power over the aver age weekly earnings In 1929."

According to Fred Morgan, hus band of the woman who was killed, the two women were being driven to Grants Pass by Wool folk to seek em ployment. Inspection of the machine follow ing the accident disclosed that the vfht rear tire had blown out, state police said, which may have been responsible for the car swerving off the pavement. D. M.
