July tor-Members ot' the arbitration commission gathered at Manhattan Beach today, to take up the question of settlement of the wage demands of locomotive engineers On 62 railroads each of Chicago and north of the Ohio river. The engineers dc- mauds total $7,500.0ii0 annually and the question of increase affects not 0n~ iy the railroads, but shippers of all classes. The award of the commission, which is composed of seven members is bind- ing and will run for II period of prob- ably live years. The arbitrators will have the right to fix the time from which the awn-rd shnll be. effective. The locmnotive firemen have also ask- ml for a wage increase amounting to more than $20,000,000 annually. and the railroad interests any that there will die other demands by trnluincn following thatI I-nglneers‘ awards.
