DETROIT, May 31.—Officials of the TUnited Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employes and rallway shop laborers today began preparation of strike ballots to be sent within the next few days to the 478,000 mem- ‘bers of the organization throughout the country and to the approximately 76,000 non-union men of the crafts who would be affeoted by a strike. The brotherhood members, with the non-unien men, will be asked to vote on the question of accepting the wage cuts of from 1 to § cents an hour re- cently ordered by the United States Rallway Labor Board in Chicago: It a majority of the broqherhood votes in favor of a rejection of the de- , E.

Printing Presses Busy. A strike ballot will be mailed to each person affected by the reduc- tions, it being desired to give non- union men working beside those hold- ing union cards to express their cholce between continuing work at the reduced figure or suspending their | tiol efforts. Presses at the brotherhood's printing plant here were set in motion early in the day turning out the bal- lots, it being necessary to print more than 550,000 of the slips. It is expected by union officials that the last of the number will have been mailed by the end of the present week or the first of next. All the replies; are looked for by the end of June. If a strike is desired by the member- ship such a call probably will go out during the first week in July, Mr. | Grable said. The wage reductions| ordered by the labor board become effective July 1.

The three unions barred were the United Federation of Rall- way Employes, the International Brotherhood of Rallroad Stationmen and the International Brotherhood of emen and Ollers.

MUDDIMAN’'S =3 Buy your Polar Cub Electric Fan The resolution calling for a strike ! vote was adopted unanimously. 1It| was confined to the mere request for such 2 vote and the empowering of the President to call such a strike if it was ordered by the membership. The executive council, in a previ- ous statement to newspaper men, had denounced the wage cuts ordered by the board as unfair and unwarranted at this time, holding they represented a pay slash of 13.2 per cent for the average maintenance of way worker. They asserted further that the cost of living had not declined more than 3 per cent in most instances throughout the country. { It a strike should result all me- chanics and maintenance of way em- ployes on the leading railroads of the country would be affected. “The only exception, according to Mr. Grable, would be employes of short line rall- roads that do not come under the rulings of the labor board. Those crafts comprising the brotherhood's membership include mechanics, sec- tion men and foremen, trackmen and | their foremen, bridge builders, painters, coal chute men, cinder pit men, all common labors in shops and all carpenters. Mr. Grable expressed the bellef that other railroad brotherhoods also would conduct’ strike referendums ! soon, and declafed if the others voted to strike the maintenance of way men would join them, in the event the members of his organization favored such action. The brother- hoods’ financial conditions is the best it ever has been and sufficient funds are available to conduct a strike, the president said. GRAND TRUNK BARS UNION.
