Arbitration Committee’* Award Not
Satisfactory To the 64,000 West
ern Engineers.
CHICAGO, May 1.—After several
months of investigation the arbitra
tion board to settle the differences
between the engineers employed on
western railroads and the managers
of the western railway systems, the
board made public the findings this
morning and the labor unions are up
in arms, as the decision, while giv
ing the men a slight increase and a
slight betterment of working condi
tions, does not give the men the big
increase they expected.
The engineers and firemen insisted
that they were entitled to the same
wages as paid men working on the
eastern railroads, because they had
longer hauls and heavier loads. The
company officials insisted that the
wages could not be paid unless rates
were increased and the matter was
referred to a board of arbitration.
The new settlement goes into ef
fect on May 10th but it is expected to
last but a short time as the 64,000
engineers and trainmen affected by
the order are dissatisfied with the re
sult and may order a strike.
New Line of Ladies Spring Clothes.
We wish to inform the ladies of
Valdez that Messrs. Epstein & Green
