TERING CHICAGO, Chicago, Nov. 7.—General managers of the twenty-three railroads entering Chicago have declined to grant the demands of the Switchmen’s union for an increase of wages of 10 cents an hour, The raflroads renewed their offer of 2 cents an hour increase, but declined to go beyond that.

The company’s answer has been for- warded to Grand Master Frank Haw- ley at Buffalo and the reply of the executive officers of the union is ex- pected here by Thursday, when it will be at once placed in the hands of Mr. Clarke.
