.I1CAGO. III.. Nov, 7. A strike
vote
uil be taken among engineer of sixty
one railroads west, south and north of
Chicago, Including the Illinois Central, fol
lowing the termination today of the nego
tlationii between the road and grand of
ficers of the Brotherhood of lAcomotive
fcnglnerrs, which began September 2.
Difference In wane Increase of approxi
mately 7 per cent. and alteration of work
ing condition stood between the negotia
tor. ,
Grand Chief Wnre C. Stone of the
brotherhood, who has oecn leading the
railroad men In their demand, said today
In believed the strike vote would be un
animotisly In favor of susponslon of work
and that tho result would be known by
December 10. Immediately thereafter he
satd a last opportunity would be given the
rullroads to meet the workers and If they
Ignored thaat opportunity, within five
hours every engine, went of Chicago, In all
branches of--service, would be Milled, the
flies drawn and out of the thousands of
riilia would step every driver on duty.
Brotherhood Representatives.
The representatives of the englnemen In
t lie twenty-five conferences which ended
today without results, were:
Warren B, Btone, grand chief; Ash Ken
nedy, K. Currlgan ,M. 'W. Cadle and H. F.
Wills, assistant grand chiefs of tha Broth
erhood of I-iocomotlve Engineers. They
received the novice of fifty division man
ager of the brotherhood, who dlreotly
i inrueented the smaller council of the
order.
Itnllroad offlciala, ax follows, heard the
tnglne drivers' demands:
A. IJ. Scott of the f'nion F&clfia, F. ii
Ward of tho Burlington linos, V. C.
Datchulder of the Chicago terminal, Baltl
murv . Ohio; W. A. Durham of tha
Missouri, .Kansas & Teatas, O. H. Emerson
)r. .tHo lJrt'fth"iifi', T. J. Foley of the
Illinois Central, F. l'. Fox of the Atchison,
Toiwka Santa Fe, Grant Hall of the
Canadian Pacific, II. J. Simmons of the
i:i Paso A Southwestern, and A. W. Tren
holm of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
.V Omaha.
The whole question arose from the de
cision of tha englnemen themselves In con
vention at Detroit, Mich., last spring. It
vas decided then that the existing wage
ma), in effect since February, 19117, was
unsatisfactory and that working conditions
hud been linKsed by railroad which
should . bo eliminated. The grand officer
were named to meet the railroads and
present the demands.
I Condition In Dispute.
The general working conditions of which
the rnginemen complain Include among
other things the following:
"Drivers of the mallet compound en
gines, which do. practically the work of
two engines, and entail a correspondingly
greater responsibility and capability, re
ceive the same wages a other drivers of
high-power engines of much lesser ca
pacity. "Engineer wish to hr relieved of the toll
of preparing their engines for travel and
of raring for them after runs.
"Switching time should be paid for on a
different basis." .
The magnitude of the wage question Is
evidenced by a statement by the employes
that the T per cent wage difference now
standing between the drivers and the rail
roads means approximately J2.S0o.OU0 a year.
The cost of alterations of the working con
ditions, minor consideration In the confer
ence, would be less than $.710,000, It was as
serted. "We Just reached the point where It was
evident we couldn't agree on the wage and
other questions." said Grand Chief Warren
S. Stone of the Brotherhood today. "When
we started our negotiation, we little ex
pected them to last as long as tht.
."Our powers to arrive at agreements
ar rettrlcted. however, by the fact that
In this rass we are acting, not In a dic
tatorial sense, but simply as following out
the expressed commands of the individual
engineers, hence, we have only the pre
scribed limits of movement allotted us by
the Detroit convention.
"The railroad committee of ten averted
directly that they could not approach our
terms, and there was simply nothing left
to do but ask our men for an expression
of tl elr desire to strike. Since they unani
mously directed this action of ours, it
seem only reasonable that they will vote
unanimously for a strlk.
Um Mora Op tort a a 1 1 .
"My December 10 we will have the bal
lolf counted and will present the remit
to the railroad men. They will have one
thame to meet the terms our men have
expressed ti'ti.nph us. and. If they refuse.

Da l.lejaor Interests Still
Contributing Lavishly,
On the eve of election day. each side is
claiming victory in Douglas county and
the state of Nebraska.
"The democrat nave the slush fund and
the automobile, but we have tha men and
the argument," said Chairman Baker of
the county republican central committee
Monday noon, "consequently, we are bound
to win. Right must and will prevail."
"Dahlman will sweep not only Douglas
county, but the entire state," said Tom
Flynn, chltif lieutenant of the Dahlman
forces. 1
"We do not expect to win this time, so
far a electing any of our men to office,'1
the socialist leaders say, "but we are
building for the future." ,
Thi. in brief, is an index to the utter
nces of cunfldence coming from the dif
ferent political parties.
One thing stands out as a certainty. The
wetther In Douglas county and through
out Nebraska Is going to be Ideal at least
the United states weather bureau haa given

Uor. seldom goes wrong.
"Fair and but little change In tempera
ture." is the way the official bulletin reads.
Local democracy's pletnoric purse re
plenished by the brewers Is still holding
out with a faithfulness that would do
ctedlt to the fabled cornucopia, and here,
there and everywhere money is being dis
pensed with prodigal hand. Every chauf

Lavish F.xpeudltares.
Ferhap never before In tlie political
history of Nebraskn ha there been a
campaign In which any party ha made
uch lavish expenditure. It Is generally
understood that the money comes from
the brewery Intereats, aided by supple-
mental contribution from the National '
Association of Liquor Dealers, which
body, it is said, is anxlou. that Hitch-

tinued Mr. Ostroni.
Reports from ' various sections of the
state favor Aldrlcli and the republican
state ticket in nearly every county, and
indicate that they will come to Douglas
county with enough reserve to overcome
any advantage that Dahlman may have
In the city of Omaha a contingency
which the republican leaders do not con
cede, because, according to republican
estimate, Aldrich will carry Douglas
county.
Judge H. A. Searle, chairman of Judge
Sutton's congressional committee, de
clared that "Judge Sutton will be elected
by a good plurality, after aligning for
all possibilities whatever. "We confidently
believe that the position taken by the

and his advocacy of a national bureau
devoted to the wellfare of children. Is
making votes for Judge Sutton every

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Two thousand tax-
)(,ab drlvpri, Hlnl,.K today In sympathy with
the strike of the drivers and helpers of
the express companies, which has prac
tically tied up express business In and
through the city for nearly two weeks.
Further spread of the strike to drivers of
all vehicles In the city except those on
food supply wagons seemed Imminent. It
was announced that at a meeting of labor
Interests to be held today a date for a
general strike that would tie up practically
everything on wheels" would be decided
upon.
Samuel Gompcrs, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, is In th city and
is participating In the conference of the
labor leaders. It was declared the support
of the federation would be given the strik
ers. All peace negotiations between the ex
press companies and their men have been
suspended.
Numerous Attack on Chauffeurs.
Attacks on chauffeurs who stuck to their
Jobs were numerous. Twenty-eight ma
chines of one company got Into the home
garage badly crippled
Some of the smaller companies affected
by the strike, made settlements with their
chauffeurs during the forenoon and It was
estimated that about KM of the 2,0i)0 men
who struck this morning had returned to
work
The continued Illness of Valentine Hoff
man, vice president of the International
Brotherhood of Teamster, made it eem
doubtful If the Joint executive council of
the brotherhood would meet at the ex
pected time to decide on the general strike
proposition.
Daniel J. To bin of Indianapolis, general
prtsident of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, left New York today, said to
be bound for Chicago or St. Ixiuls. It Is
declared in labor droits in this city that
the situation In both Chicago and St. Louis
Is now as acute as it was In New York a
day or so before the strike.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Inability to detail
policemen to preserve the peace at the

to . prevent disorder at the 1,3'.'2 polling

Chief of Police Steward today to appeal to
the clothing manufacturers to shut down

He said that nearly all of the strike-bound
