As it Is announced that the rount
roads is now proceeding daily, and as
ilte railroads concede that the vote
favors a strike the companies today
made Hie following statement;
"The average wages of the firemen
who are now threatening to strike
have been increased more than 35 por
« eut. in the past, ten years.
"The presi-nl demand is for 35 per
cent, more at one step. This would
represent a total Increase of 70 per
cent, in ten or eleven years.
"Wages of other forms of railway
labor have also been increasing In
a-scemllng ratio.
"Railroad tnsnagers are willing
and eager to pay all classes of cm
ployea as high wages as conditions
will permit. It Is recognized that tile
firemen deserve special consideration.
"Hut. the wages of railroad labor
j can only be paid.- out of funds ro
reived by the railroads for services
performed. If those wages absorb a
constantly increasing proportion of
receipts from this sole source of re
venue, It is obvious Hint Hie public
must pay the bill in the end."
