Still confronting the railroads, how- ever, was the vote of 350,000 members thorizing a strike to enforce demands for 20 per cent raises.

These 14 crafts authorized | early this week a strike if their de- mands were rejected Demanded 20 Per Cent Raise. Otto S. Beyer of the board said the raise represented an increase of between 8!, to 83 per cent. The non-operating employes, like the op- erating employes, had demanded 20 | per cent increases. First discussion of the operating brotherhoods' demands will be held in Chicago August 11 at a conference between the brotherhoods and a com- mittee representing the Nation's rail- roads.

The board will propose arbitration if he fails. If either side rejects arbitration, a presi- dentially-appointed fact-finding board must study the case and make a re- port before the men can strike. The operating railroaders’ demands were authorized three months ago. Three weeks ago balloting started on Wwhether to grant strike power to offi- cers.
