The demands in this controversy have not been
presented in judgment, for the purpose of fixing
definite daily period of labor reduction in the
existing hours of labor change in methods of opera
ton, but for the real purpose of accomplishing an
increase in wages of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annum, IS per cent for the men

by the labor organizations in this matter
After careful examination of the facts and patient
and continuous consultation with the Conference

cesses and the almost inconceivably
low cost of as cents ton has been
reached on ore that plates $40 and
leaves 40 cents in the tails. There
is an enormous tonnage of CONNER

treated at the rate of 400 tons a day.

The trip to the Train Chase lease

(c In view of the far-reachng consequences of the
declaration made by the President. accepting the
hour day not only upon the railroads and the classes
of labor involved directly in this controversy but to
the public and upon all industry, it plain that
before the existing conditions changed, the whole
subject in 80 far as it affects the railroads and their
employees should be investigated and determined BY
a Commission to be appointed by the President, of

would be a helpful basis for adjustments with labor

The widespread effect upon the industries of the
country as a whole is beyond measure appraise-
ment this time and agree with the insstent and
widespread public concern over the gravity of the
situation and the consequences of surrender by the
railroads in this emergency.
In like manner deeply impressed with the
sense of our responsibility to maintain and keep open
the arteries of transportation, which carry the life
blood of the commerce of the country and of the
consequences that will flow from even temporary
interruption of service the railroads. but the
issues presented have been raised above and beyond
the social and monetary questions involved, and
the responsibility for the consequences that may
arise will rest upon those that provoke it.

TOTALS CHANGE


en- by Congressman Guy T. Helvering,
who appears to have won by 1,40O
Otis L. Benton's defeat in the Sixth
was apparent from first returns. Con-
gresham John Connolly was returned
by nearly 5000 majority over the
Oberlin banker.
Loss of Reno, his home county,
aided in the defeat of John Simmons
in the Seventh. Congressman Jouett
Shouse carried the district by more
than $500 and won Reno county by
nearly 1900. Two years ago Simmons
carried Reno by nearly 1900
One of the close fights in the state
was in the Eighth district, where
Congressman w. A. Ayres defeated
Judge Thomas C. Wilson. The Ayres
plurality is practically 1000.
In Legislature.
Republican leads for legislative
candidates are being increased, altho
the northwestern section of the state
took strong Democratic turn. Early
indications of the defeat of Senator l.
M. Mahin were changed when he came
out of Smith and Norton with small
majorities and may have won the cleo
tion. Senator James Malone, Demo-
crat; was reelected from the Thirty
ninth district, while Senator H. F. SUIT
ton of st. John, in the Thirty fifth
district, defeated DIR. ]. c. Butler of
Stafford. If returns ultimately give
the election to Senator Mahin, seven
of the 1913-15 members-two Demo-
Gratis and five Republicans-will have
been returned.
Claim California by 1900.
Facing the certainty of veritable
"eyelash finish" Republican and Dem
ocratic party managers today revised
their earlier claims of sweeping plu-
ralities for their candidates in Califor-
mia. Vice Chairman Max Kupler of
the Republican state committee said
early today:
II expect a plurality of from 1905
to 1.400 for Hughes in California This
is based on the vote counted so far
and on conservative estimates on
counties where the count is not COM
plete. North of the Tehachapi, Will
son has a plurality of 10000, but this
will be overcome by a Hughes plural
ity of $1,000 to 81. 200 in southern CAL
ifornia-''
The comment of o. K Cushing.
Democratic state chairman, was:
'I consider California safe for Will
SON.
The greatest interest ever shown
here in a presidential contest was evi-

DEATH FACTOR IN RACE
Wilson May Lose One of Seven EIec-
toraI Votes in Washington.

The death of a Democratic candi-
date for presidential elector may cause
the defeat of President Wilson. At
present the returns indicate that VIII
son has 256 electoral votes and Hughes
243, with the seven Washington cleo
toral votes for Wilson. T
Should Wilson carry Minnesota he
would have total of 266 votes, the
number needed to win. But If he
lost one in Washington, due to the
death of the elector, Hughes would
be one vote ahead.
On the other hand, if Wilson carried
California and New Mexico, or If he
carried either Minnesota or California
and North Dakota, he would win de-
spite the fact that he may lose one of
the seven electoral votes in Washing
ton.

New York, Nov. 9.-Returns on the
election for members of congress re-
ceived UP to / o'clock today showed
212 Democrats and 2O3 Republicans
elected with sixteen districts not yet
accounted for. Seven of these sixteen
districts are Democrat in the present
congress- and nine are Republican.
should each keep to its present pohtl-
cal affiliation the count would stano :
Democrats 219, Republicans zlz-
This would give the Democrats ma
iority of seven over the 212 Repupn-
cans, and four representatives OF other
parties in the house.
Returns on the senate fight are
nearer complete. They tend to show
the Democrats still in control there by
a probable majority of twelve COM

one Of the big features of the con-
eressional fight is the seeming cleo
don of a woman for the first time
in the nations history. Miss Jeanette
Rankin, who ran as an independent
Republican against Harry B. Mitchell,
RepubIican, appears to have been ac-
corded the honor by Montana.
All chances of Socialists for repre-
sentation in the house now center on

kins' retort today when asked for
comment on the statement OF Henry
Morgenthau, Democratic finance

cautions as the Democrats" Perkins
added.
Perkins Claims It-Easy.
Perkins said his tabulation showed
267 electoral votes for Hughes-not
including California.
Perkins stated that returns at

Hughes would carry New Mexico by

Mexico.

is degree above the night normal for
this date. The mercury at $50 o'clock
this morning had reached Al degrees
and was expected to go to so this aft
ernoon. Tonight it will not drop be-
low 40 degrees.
The rain here Wednesday totaled
2.11 inches. Reports show the storm
was not general, but it reached to
Wichita and Hutchinson, touching the
center of the Kansas wheat belt. Rain
is badly needed in the western part of
the state, according to S. D. Flora,
local weather observer.
The wind this morning was blowing
at the rate of twelve miles an hour
from the west. The moon will shine
all night tonight if the sky remains
clear.
The highest temperature on record
for this date is IA degrees, established
in 1902. The low record, 19 degrees,
occurred in 1889.
THE coming storm will bring the

ers should get out twenty-four hours

change in weather, as the ducks travel
faster than the storm and will arrive
here the night before"
