OFFER COUNTER PROPOSALS
NEW YORK. March SO.—After the
railroad leaders gave the manage
ments plenty of time and lots of no
tice to formulate a policy, their de
mands were placed before the com
panies on Monday.
This afternoon, the brotherhoods
were indlvldualy in receipt of no
tices from the companies that their
demands were rejected as wholly
Impracticable at the present time.
The companies however thought
that reason lay in a compromise
and submitted counter proposals,
the most of Important of which
seggests that the railroads consider
each department of labor separately,
and hence that they profor to deal
with each brothorhood separately. To
mass the demands together, it is
hold only causes confusion between
all.
| The railroad union leaders are
much disturbed at the attitude taken
up by the railroads and fear now
that a strike is certain. They admit
that is not possiblo to take back the
counter proposals of the railroad
companies to the rank and file of the
unions.
The companies realize that the
majority of the brothorhood officials
are very conservative men and would
much prefer that the men settled
the demands through them with the
railway managers.

evening and foretell the greatest
strike ever has as yet taken place

Congress moved on a peg today In
the way of doing some business. Not
a Very great lot, but some. The

term presidential resolution also
oamo up before the House and may
be considered favorably. Would it
be well to pass such a resolution
and thus eliminate men who want
to anchor on tho job, ia the ques

late to affect cither Woodrow or
Teddy so it is really not very ser
loue, any way it goes.
The Senators do not llko the pro

of gnsollno Is taking which ia now
soaring beyond all records. The
Senators do not know what to do for

of them think of probing the still
