DEMANDS OF RAIL BROTHERHOOD ARE REFUSED BY ROADS Western Carriers Decline to Withdraw Requests for New Wage Cuts. CIIIOAflO, Aug. IS. Demands of tho "His? Five" railway brotherhoods to wipe out tho recent wage cut. withdraw nil further requests, for wag derreass and cancel all lexr.ands for r'.imination of tlmo and ono-half for overtime in train and yard FervicN wero refused Thursday to' tho western railroads on tht-pmund-j that these ilemand-s disre-pardt-d tho public' Interest In economical operation and resultant lower freight and 7afscnger rates. The d'-clsion followed a. two-day conference; between tho executives of tho brotherhoods and a committpo representing tho wc.-tcrn carriers. In declining the brotherhoods re-que-t for tho withdrawal of all demands for further wage decreases, th" committee Informed the brotherhoods' representatives that a "proper rep-anl for tho public Interest in the operation of railroad: does not permit the otTicers of the railroads to give a-Hiirance that such requests for further decreases will be withdrawn. This committee has no knowledge as to how many requests the railro-ads hnvo made for further decreases, but there ii demand on tho part of tho public for reduction in freight and puonstr rate-, and such reductions cannot bo made under tho present labor co-ts. There is no assurance that the cost of living will not bo decreased within the next few months, anl for the railroads to take, the position that there would b no requests for decreased wns presented in lawful ;ind orderly manner to the railway labor board, then could be no justification."
