Chicago, .March 1. Without i dissenting vote the general managers of the railroads entering Chicago determined, at their meeting this afternoon, to reftiso any demands of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid association. An answer was sent to the switchmen by the general managers of thirty-two roads centering In Chicago declining to grant tiny increase over ilie present schedule of ' rates and enclosing the following resolution which was passed unanimously at the meeting: Httohtil. That this nnsoriutlon has carefully examined the Hchedulu Of wnsfra judd l'.v tho Clilenuo roads to foremen und lv.'hK r In h witch

Further. Hint the revenue from freight aim passenger trame has constantly decreased and tho cost of service has constantly Increased to the extent that no advance In wages can be cranted. and that no chungc can be made from the present schedule of rules urfectliii tho compensation of men enKneed In this service. This answer was sent to the oflleers of the Switchmen's association yesterday afternoon and ends the trouble so far as. the managers are concerned. I'he switchmen have not yet determined what course thev will pursue and of course, decline to discuss the situation. If thev should decide to strike the light against them would hen hitter one as the general managers of the thirtytwo roads have determined to act as a unit anil ngnt the men as one roati. a still more significant determination reached by the general managers is an agreement to discharge all union men m their lines in case the roads should Ik? crippled by a strike of switchmen. This will apply to engineers, conductors, liremen and in fact all branches of organised railroad labor. The general managers sav thev will not pay union men for doing nothing when their idleness :is enforced by strikers to whom they are giving aid and en couragement. In the event of a ironoral dismissal of the union men tlm vacancies are to he filled as rapidly as possible with non-uiiion'.iiien, the roads to act in concert in securing new men und to distribute them "according to the needs of indivitluul roads. Chief -of Police MeClaughrey was present at the general managers' meeting and promised all aid in his power t enforce order in event of a strike. The switchmen demand that the rate of pay for day foremen ,be made thirty-two cents per hour; day helpers, thirty cents per hour; night foremen, thirty-four cents; night helpers, thirtytwo cents, and that ten hours' work be guaranteed each crew night or day. This is an advance of five cents per hour. CARLIjLE'S INTENTIONS.

That would undoubtedly bring on a general strikv. a the .switch nie n are noted for their disposition to strike on the slightest provocation. (Irand .Master Wilson, however, professes his ability to hold his men in line until thu matter can be reached in the regular way. Ho that the rules of tho .switchmen union would be fully complied with. If this is done it be several days before a strike can be ordered, if nny ortlered at all. .Mr. Wilson credits tho story from llaltiinore to the effect that the Chicago roads have agents in that city hiring switchmen andyanlinasters.
