Ml PROGRESS IN SIRIKt
SITUATION
There has bean no change in the j
White Pass strike situation Both sides
?re firm and neither show anv locli
catioc to give in. Last night there
was a conference between the men and
Superintendent Hahn at tie latter'?
office. Councilman McGrath was
spokesman for the striker*. He pr>
??r.tcd ali the arguments why the re
quest for a JO per cent rat* in wages
should he a! lowed. Mr. Hahn re stated
to the men the reasons he bad given
I in a ietter that had been read to the i
men at their first meeting, showing that
wages are higher here than down
below, and claiming that living rxpons
, es aiv no higher. He requested the
men to resume work until President
Graves and Genera! Manager Be doe
i cou'd be hea.-d from further.
The strikers fu'ly expect to win as
they say the wages paid here will be no
inducement to goiod workmen in the
st it. It is claimed, also, that union
m^n will not come up here to play the
part of strike breakers
Railrw d'? Sidf ft tk? Usn
The railroad company* side of the
lease was fuiiy s?t forth in the letter of
I Superintendent Hahn to Master j
Mechanic Ashley in response to th?
petition for 20 per cent, increase th<
workmen had made to the latter, which
was read to the mechanios at a meeting
previous to the waik-ou?.
Mr. Ashl*} had r-.frrred the petition
for an increase in wages to Mr . Hahn,
who refe *reti it to Mr Berdoe. who de
layed action on it tint il the arrival of
President Gravps on the coast.
Mr Hahn's letter said that Mr.
Berdoe ?od Mr. Graves had not fell
that they were able to grant the In
crease ?sV?d for. They contended that
'he freicht rates on the White Pas?
have continued, to decrease and the
gross receipt* to get smaller while
wage have either remained stationery
or increased.
"The cost of material," said Mr.
Hahr. "of ail kinds is so much higher
than in previous years that the com
pany's expense has been increased on
that account "
"I feel saii*8ed that if Mr. Berdoe
and Mr. Grave'* could hare seen their
war clear to ad vance the wac* of the
men 't wou'J have been a pleasure for
thetr. to do - >. as the Whi'e Pa*s has a
well earned reput?tloo of being 'on the
