HUGHES IN SCHENECTADY.
Republican Candidate Makes Appeal
 For Labor Vote.

For Labor Vote.
 Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 2-During stay of two and half hours here today, Charles E. Hughes held re- ception in the Edison Hotel and spoke at three meetings.
 The first of his addresses was at the Van Curler Onera House. the sec nnd at the American Locomotive Works and the third at the plant of the General Electric Company At the two latter meetings practically all Of MT. Hughes hearers were mechanics md skilled workers.
 Almost his entire speech at both places was made up of comments up- on the labor and industrial situation. Mr. Hughes dwelt at length upon the prosperity that is prevailing in the state and nation, but he declared that all this could be torn down in a night" if this confidence should be shaken. He told his hearers that the workers would be the first to feel the effects of false step and he urged them to think well before casting their votes on Tuesday next.
 If I am elected governor" he de- clared. q shall see to it that my ad- ministration is an economical one. but no money will be spared to see that every law Is carried out. No statute Sndll want oi iOi tue of man or the lack of dollar to enforce it."
 Anything. he asserted. which has for it's purpose the welfare of the work CTS of the state. will have his hearty support If he is chosen to represent the people at Albany.
 The Hughes special train was halted several miles out of the city and the candidate and his immediate party .F.,... There followed q rapid drive into the business section over roads deep in mud.
 At several places along the route there were groups of people gathered at the road side and as the whirling automobiles went by cheers were Eiv- en. All the children of one of the schools which was passed were lined LID along the sidewalk and as Mr Hughes drove by they cheered and waved their hats. This was the last | iay of Mir Hughes upstate campaign | Commenting upon the conditions. he said today:
 ..The conditions upstate are very satisfactory. The Republicans are loyal and alert and throughout the state we have the support of the old line Democrats. It Is simply a ques- tion now of getting out the vote. If | that is done, victory is achieved. But the danger of over confidence is ever great and no one at this time must relax his individual efforts.

MITCHELL TO MINERS.
Significant Speech in Which He Calls
Settlement Victory

AT Scranton. Pa. yesterday. during the
miners convention. to ratify the agreement
with the coal operators, President Mitchell
was not present during the early proceed
ings. When he entered the hall NJ was
vociferously applauded and was called upon
for speech He said: This will probably
be the last time that shall address you,
and 1t might be well for me to say one or
two things. Some are inclined TO believe
that because we have not secured an ad-
vance In wages or any Improvement In the
conditions OF employment that we have not
accomplished anything. 1 want to say that
l believe you have taken the most advano-
ed step in the history of this movement.
You have secured what you have never
pefore secured--a signed agreement with
the operators. It Is an agreement which 10
not entered into with the United Mine
workers. but with the officers of that Or
ganizationi but they have signed an agree
ment with your national president and with
Your district officers =
Il am convinced that II the United
Mlneworkers maintain the strength and
solidarity of their organization that three
years hence the railroad presidents Will
ask you to make an agreement with them
rather than that you should be forced to
ask them to make an agreement with you.
Last summer l made tour through
this region. 1 urged the mineworkers to
come back into the organisation. At that
time there were only $4,000 members AT
the close OF that tour there were 5000
members in the organization. Had that
tour not been made there would have been
reduction In wages. according to reliable
information that l have in my possession.
MY information is that the railroads
were ready TO increase the working day
from to 10 hours, to require the engineers
to work seven days in the week and to
require the firemen to work IL hours In
stead OF eight. II this Is true then we have
won q victory.
I'm conclusion LET me express tho hone
that when you return to your homes you
will be as loyal to this union as you have
been In the past. AS I said before this
may be the last time that 1 will have the
privilege Of addressing you Whether II Is
or not, you owe 1t to yourselves, to your
families, to your class ana to your craft
to be loyal ana true to this Organization,
which has done so much for you 1t can
and 1t will do moro for You II you Will
stand by 1t and remain true to yourselves"
There was a tremendous outburst of ap-
plause when Mr.. Mitchell sat down. The
convention adjourned sine die immedia tely
after.
