SHOPMEN DEMAND
INCREASED WAGE
Western Maryland Employes
at Hagcrstown Insist on
Higher Scale
Hagcrstown, Md., Aug. I.—Sev
eral hundred shopmen of the West
ern Maryland Railway yesterday
threatened to strike on Friday
morning if their demands for an
increase in wages are not granted.
The men ask an increase that
averages ten cents an hour in the
various departments and declare
that they cannot exist under pres
ent conditions. The officials of the
road are apparently as strong in
their stand and declare that the
many increases already granted the
men make them earners now of
sufficient wages.
With Hagerstown's principal in
dustry lying in the railroads situat
ed here the strike will have a vital
import to all of the local affairs.
The city still remembers the strike
of two years ago when the shop
men battled for over a month in
an effort to get the upper hand.
Pickets were established about the
shops at that time.
