WASHINGTON. April 23—Wage demands of the railroad switchmen, many of whom recently went out on an “unauthorised” strike, were presented to th# railroad labor board today by & E. Heberling, president of the Switchmen’s Union of North

America.

Asking a wage advance for the men of 58 per cent, with time and a half for overtime, Sunday* and holiday*, Mr. Heberling said their work was more hasardou# than that of any Other railroad workers and that the percentage of deaths and accidents was higher than In the coal mining industry. Tho average usual life of switchmen. Heberling said. was seven years. Committees from nonreeognixed vardrqena associations at Cleveland, Kansas City, Columbus and thf Chicago Enginemen's Association today awaited decision by the board on their application for hearings. New Yorkers “To Sit Tight.** Headed by Frank Boland, of Jersey City, a committee representing the striker® in the metropolitan district of New York, returned to the office* of th# labor board today prepared, they aaid, to "sit tight." Boland declared the men h*d attempted to r*turn to work hut that reinstatement had been refused by th# General Manager*’ Association. He added that they would not go back now until assured of their full seniority rights. R. J.

out to do so In their *WPP0rt. The position of ths sinkers waa

confirmed by Edward McHugh, chairman of the strikera’ executive committee, who said th* men had decided “to remain out If necessary until th# railroad labor board handed down a decision.’’ Hs said the next mov* must come from the general man-

agers of the railroads,

“Brotherhood leaders can not recall the men to work,” McHugh J»aid.

“They have trl can’t keep men on

their contract* . . J1 , The next move Is not up to the socalled strikers, but must come, from the railroad manager*, who have denied an extension of their uHimatum."

Vot# So* To Return.

McHugh Said he explained to th*

Strikers that G probably would b« thirty days before the labor board could hear the demands of th# brotherhoods. He said he told them ths railroads had fllsd a petition for g delay of three months to enable them ta send out questionnaires l* the different roads to find what th* proposed wage increases would cost

the roads. “I told them when I left Washing-

ton I tried to have ths ultimatum of ths general managers extended,” h# said, “and ! asked the men if they wanted to wait or to go back. They

voted not to go back.

All overturos on behalf of the strikers for peace had been rejected xvhen the men met in Jersey City to decide on a course of future action.

Railroad officials declared that aprilcattona had been received from a tumber of striking switchmen who paired to return to work individually, hey indicated also that further applications were looked for following yesterday’s meetings of the strikers at which one of the leaders asserted that no individual who desired to return to work should be criticised.
