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."
