ASK TWENTY PER CENT LIFT Men Declare thnt Prevlona Requests Were Ignored and that It AVns Neeoennry to En force Demands. Between twenty and twaty-flve freight handlers employed at the Northwestern local freight house went on strike yyater day morning- to enforce their demand tot higher wages. Thcro. ore about thlrty-ftve mi-n on the payroll, but a number of thtm havo not been working regularly for the last week, but those who walked out Included all who were working yesterday. As a result ot tho walkout all loading and unloading ot freight was uuspended for the day. General Agent Montgomery sold last evening that It tho men din not return to work this morning their places would be filled and that numerous applications for 'work had been mndo by men from Omaha and Council Bluffs. The strlko coma as a surprise. It fol lowed tho demand for higher wages made two weeks ago, which General Agent Montgomery put up to the gen eral offices, where It was being con sidered, with tho prospect that an In crease vrould be ordered. Tho men, how ever, either misunderstood tho attltuae of the company; or becamo uncontrollably Impatient and struck before receiving a reply from tho company's offices in Chi cago or tho division manager!! office at Boone. Want Tvrcniy Ter Cent Slave, The men demand an increase ot 20 per cent. They have been paid 11 cents per hour for ten hours' work, or $1.75 per day, with constant employment the year round. It Is tho samo rata paid by alt ot the other roads In tho city. Somo of the roads, however, notably- tha Burling ton and Rock Island, pay their freight handlers on the tonnogo basis, whichS per mits the same earnings per day, but In volves greater necessity for close appli cation to tho Job. Tho Northwestern freight handlers in Omalm are paid IS cents an hour, and it is said that It was tha intention of tho company to raise tho Bluffs rate to tho same figure, or 31.80 a day. The Bluffs men, however, de mand 32.10 flat for ten hours' work. Men Not OrKanlsed. There la no organization among the men but the decision to demand' more wages was unnntmbusly agreed upon. The determination not to wait any longoc followed thcr successful lesuo of the wage question raised by about fifty Italian and Austrian track laborers on Monday when they laid down their tools and in formed their bosses that their pay must be raised from 31,60 to $1,715 per day. After less than twenty-four hours the de mand was acceded to and the men re ported for work on Tuesday morning. This was good encouragement to tha truckmen and thoy .followed, the example The men themselves say their request for more pay was made five months ago and was ignored. It was repeated again. they ray, on Afrril 15 or 20, and no reply was received. Tho complete unanimity of tho men In both instances Indicates some sort of or ganization, and while thcro is no ovidonce discernible at this time there d a stronc conviction that both strikes nrrt tho result of the presence of Industrial Workers Of tho World. On Monday morning two Industrial Workers of the World arrived here frpm Denver and tho strike of tho trackworkers followed immed!-tt!y, Nona of tho railroad officials recall having seen any strangers mingling with their men. It is said that one of tho. Industrial Workers of the World emissaries de clared that a large number of the Indus trial Workers of the World are on their way, and that Omaha, Council Bluffs and South Omaha were "to be torn tip," Men Are Orderly. The striking truckmen wera vnrr nr. dcrly yesterday and thero appeared to be no necessity for the presence of the special officers placed to nurri hu warehouse and platforms. The strikers denied that they wore doing picket duty, but they kept a close watch on nil ,t.t cars and trains throughout the day.
