Henry Heebner the grain man,
was here today for a few hours cn
route from Cedar Creek to Murray
where he will visit over Sunday.
New York May 10. The wage
increase demands by union shopmen
aggregating about $50,000,000 an
nually have been pn-sented to three
big roads through the railway em
ployes department of the American
Federation of Labor, preparatory, it
was understood, to taking the case
before the United States railroad la
bor board, the New York Herald said
today.
The roads affected are the Pitts
burg & Lake Erie, Baltimore &
Ohio and New York Central, which
recognize the shopmen's unions.
The employes have asked for an
increase of 20 cents an hour from
70 to 90 cents "for all machinists,
boilermakers, blacksmiths, electri
cians, sheet metal workers and car
men." Most of the 400,000 railroad shop
men of the nation were not concern
ed in the movement, as they have in
dividual agreements with their
roads.
