f ERIE ROAD Io MENACED BY ABIG STRIKE Employees Ali Along the Line Dissatisfied with. Wage Rates and Com- mittees Are Here to De- mand Redress. NO STRIKE, SAYS COMPANY. Migh Official Contends that Its Men Have Little Reason for Grumbl- Ing and Declares that the Recent Agreement Should Be Satisfactory Dissatisfaction !s abroad in the Jersey City yards of the Erle Rallroad Com- pany, The germ of a strike Is in cul- ture, Nobwithstanding the fact that the yard employees made an agreement with the big corporation on Feb. 1 to accept a new and higher schedule of wages, they are chafing at the thought that the Pennsylvania Railroad 1s pay- ing thelr conductors and brakemen more, and they want an adjustment. A committee representing the tele- graph operators of the Erie, and an- other with a grievance In hand from the engineers, are In New York for a confew:nce with the officials. They want increases In wages al! along the line, and. while the likelihood is strong that they will get what they ask, there can he byt one result if they do not—a strike A reporter of The Evening World epent several hours to-day among the trainmen—the freight car handlers—in the yards at Weehawken, Payonia- and Jersey . and this ls the substance of their complaint, expressed in the language of one of them: ‘Where is ho reason in the world why we shouldn't get what the Pennsylvania pays. We take the same chances; we work the same hours, if not longer, and we do harder work. Cause of the Trouble, “The Erle is a rich road, and it can afford to pay as well as the other com- pany. We make $282 for the day and $2.61 for the night. The conductors make 2.98 for the day and $2.64 for the night. Against that, the Pennsyi- vania pays 2% cents an hour a day and 27 1-2 cents an hour for night. ‘The conductors mage $3.17 a day and $.30 at night That's our kick.” A high official of the Erie sald to-day that ¢he road was fully informed of the dissatisfaction that: existed’ among the yardmen, * “But we do not antictpate trouble,” he added, “We do not think there will be a strike, Should the men go out they will go bagk on an agreement made with us on Feb, 1, whereby if they are dis- eatisfied they shoulg sive us thirty days’ notice and present their grievance to us through the proper channel—a commit- tee authorized to act. “We have not been officially notified of the dissatisfaction which exists and we inust presume that the men intend to stand by thelr contract, If they do not hang to thelr agreement you might as well expyrgate the word contract y8nd its ‘meaning from the English yo- cabulary. /Phe Couipany!s Side of It. “The Erie Rafiroad Company tries to keep in touch with its employees and to pay thm the best going wages, We pay our men now more than the Le- high, the Delaware, Lackawanna an, Western, West Shore, tral and New Jersey Central, Thea are five of the biggest roads coming into New York, and we pay more than any of them, with the singlo exception of the Pennsylvanta, “Why can't you pay as much as the| !am Penneylvenia?’ was asked, ‘Dhe Erle is a big road—one of the biggest trans- portation concerns in the world, The magnitude of its businchs is the basis for the public's presumption that it re- turns @ commensurate revenue," “There As no reason why the Erie shoyld péy ay much ag the mney) vania; no rr on at all..

To show that we are inclined to be ‘fair, the schedule ‘that went Into effect on Feb, 1 was for- amlated on an average etruck from their schedyles.
