since July 1, there a no talk about

the public by this late reduction of

"The public never ould have re
reived thii reduction vitlt the con
tent of the railroads, had the rait
roads not been confronted with this
emergency."
Besides Mr. Stone, others attend
ing the conference were VV. G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood of Kail

president of the Order of Railway
Conductors, and V. S. Carter, pres

Says Srtike 100 Per Cent
Establishment of open shop con
citioni on the Tremotit & Gulf rail
road and the strike yesterday, of
trainmen on the International &
Great Northern railroad were under
discussion. President Lee stated
that he had received reports that
practically 100 per cent of the I. G.
.V: trainmen had quit the service. .
A subordinate leader, however,
said that if it is correctly reported
that the men on the Tremont &
Gulf railroad have accepted open
hhop conditions, it is due to the fact
that they are rfew in number and
have little hope of their resistance
being successful. They intimated
that this situation will be brought to
the attention of the labor board
Wednesday. -
It was learned that the chiefs have
received telegrams from many of the
general chairmen reporting that they
had been cited by the railroad labor
board to appear Wednesday. ' It was
said that in all approximately 1,000
officials of the unions and of the rail
roads have been cited to appear.
President Shcppard of the con
ductors, commenting on the actlofl
of the shop crafts in voting against
joining the strike, said:
"I do not construe their action
to be a break with the brotherhoods.
They are probably reserving to
themselves, the right to take action
ii) their own way."
Discusses "Human Side."
-Preside:-,; Lee of the trainmen is
sued a statement on the "human
side" of he railroad wage question,
saying:
;"It is to be wondered whether
the public really understands the fail
way wage reduction question. There
are more through freight brakemen
thin all other train and yard service
employes combined and this class
of' service and the passenger Jfain
employes represent the lowest rates
of wages paid.
"A through freight brkeman is
paid $4.48 for an eight-hour day or
56 cents an hour. ,' If the proposed
wage cut is made effective,- he will
receive 51 cents or $4.08 a day. Pas
senger service employes receive two
cents an hour more and local freight
and yard men receive a slightly high
er rate.
r'This means tha the bulk of the
train service employes receive about
$27 a week for a six-day-week and
whatever A is earnedt above- that
amount is through eitra' service. The
service is paid for on a mileage basis
but not on an eight-hour basis except
for fr light runs; within 100 miles.
Overtime is not paid on a stritcly
eight-hour basis, except : in iyntd
service and runs up to 100 miles. -
i -'The low paid train and yard em
ployes have to meet the same high
cost of living that the public must
meet. They are, asking only fair
service conditions and a fair day's
pay. .- .- -
"The railroads do not tell the
whole truth of daily wages paid
when they quote higher amounts -of
wages earned, because they do not
say they represent time and extra
time." , -

tempted to Extort Money
From Her.
A man giving the name of "James
Smith" was arrested by Detectives
Buglewicz , and Cich and is being
held , for investigation, at the
Central police ' station. He was ar
rested on the complaint of Ethel
Black, 2729 North Nineteenth street,
who claimed that the man attempted
to extort monev from her.
According to Detective Buglewica,
several complaints have been re.
ceived recently. It is claimed that
a man, believed to be Smitn, would
strike up an acquaintance with
woman on the streets and acer talk
ing a few minutes would claim that
he wr.s an officer and that the woman
had "tipped off" a man he wanted.
He would start to take his victim
to a police call box, but before ar
riving there would say that for a
small sum he could turn her loose.
According to detectives, much
money has been collected in this
manner during the last week.
When arrested Smith had $101 in
one dollar bills on his person. At
first he declined to give his name,
telling the desk sergeant to register
him-as "John Doe." Later, however,
he said his name was James Smith
and gave Chicago as his home. He
was wearing a bogus police badge
when arrested. '
