Abstract: In this paper we consider linear relations with conjugates of a Salem number alpha. We show that every such a relation arises from a linear relation between conjugates of the corresponding totally real algebraic integer alpha+1/alpha. It is also shown that the smallest degree of a Salem number with a nontrivial relation between its conjugates is 8, whereas the smallest length of a nontrivial linear relation between the conjugates of a Salem number is 6.
