HUGHES TAKES SAFE. LEAD
IN DOUBTFUL MINNESOTA

st. Paul, Nov. S.--Charles E. Hughes
took the lead in the presidential con-
test in Minnesota, when returns from
2,4S1 precincts ont Of 1924 in the state,
compiled at midnight, gave Wilson,
100, 141; Hughes. 160,365.
With returns from the rural districts
of Minnesota coming in rapidly tonight,
the early lead established by Presi-
dent Wilson. was being gradually cut
down by Charles E. Hughes.
When the closeness of the vote in
the presidential contest in this state
became evident late tonight, several
state officials expressed the belief that
the definite outcome would not be
known until the votes cast by the Min
nesota guardsmen at the Mexican bor-
der had been tabulated
terday by special commissioners, ap-
pointed by Governor Burnuuist under
the provisions of a law enacted by the
recent special session of the legisla-
ture. 1t is not expected that these re-
turns will be entered in the proper
precinct records before next week.
Unofficially, it was estimated that the
guardsmen vote aggregated about
$500.

UNOERpA|O EMPLOYEES
WANT THEIR SHARE

Thousands of workers on the rail-
roads of the Northwest are joining the
movement of the committee of en-
ployees known as the Eighty Per
Cent" now securing petitions to cor
gress for an investigation of the wages
and working conditions of all railway
employees before pay increases are put
into effect as provided by the Adamson
law. Representatives of employees
other than the twenty per cent now in
cluded in the Adamson act, making a
tour in the interest of the eighty per
cent not coming under the provisions Of
the act, declare that the future well
fare ST all railway workers is at stake.
Under the Adamson law an increase
would go to train service employees that
would preclude for years to come wage
increases for those workers to which
there is no reference made in the act,
and for that reason the measure as it
now reads is opposed by about 1,600,-
600 employees. Even on the present
basis of pay, trainmen and enginemcn,
many of whom do not require the years
of special training, nor work daily the
long hours that fall to the lot of me-
chanics, trackmen, clerks, ETC., draw
greater compensation. To grant the
advances that would accrue under the
act recently passed will still further
tend to keep down the wages of other
classes, say the Eighty Per Cent"
reprc sentatives.
1t is to present solid front before
congress at the coming short session
that the eighty Per Cent workers
are now extending their campaign to
all parts of the country Their efforts
have been successful to marked de-
gree, they say, resulting in the awaken
ing of employees not taken care of in
Adamson act to the deplorable con-
ditions which will be be brought about
should this so-called eight-hour law be-
come effective as law January !,
1917.

be secured from Lothrop and will not
be available until today. There is
hardly chance, however, that the re-
turns from the missing precincts will
have any effect on the outcome of the
election.
Word received from Missoula at noon
today is to the effect that Dan Hey

representative in the legislature, both
having 1874 votes each. The official
canvass may break the tie, mistakes
being frequent in unofficial returns.
