TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. l.
i Charles r. Hughes wound up IN,
campaign in the middle west with a
speech here tonight and left shortly
afterward for points in New York. tho
last state in which he will appear be-
fore election.
Mr.. Hughes made five speeches to-
day. Tonight he issued the following
statement:
II am leaving Indiana after what
is perhaps the most wonderful recep
tion ever given candidate for the
presidency.
'"1his splendid tribute was not to
me personally. but as the representa-
tive of the great united Republican
party moving forward to victory and
service for the nation. The men Of
Indiana have organized a peoples VIC
tory and l want to thank the leaders
Of the reunited Republican party for
their effective work.
Fears Bread Line.
Mr.. Hughes today devoted much Of
his speeches to the tariff.
we had soup houses and bread
lines twenty months ago." he told his
audience at Linton, and we will have
them again if we do not protecy
to carry on the business of this cOun-
try ON the policy indicated in the I'm
derwood bill"
when the war orders end" he said
at Brazil. under our present policy as
embodied in the Underwood bill
passed by our opponents, you can Just
see yourself going back to work for
one or two or three days a week. That
Is what IL means to you"
Tonight Mr.. Hughes discussed the
Adanson bill at length.
Il am advised that the general
chairman has advised the local chair
man of the Brotherhood OF I.ocomo-
tive Ffrcmen and r.nginemen or tnv
Pennsylvania lines east. that the Adj
amson bill lin estdblisni a new basis
for reckoning wages. will eliminate
the payment of all arbitralies which
are based upon time made within tho
first eight hour period of service.
The uncertainty of the law is rec
ognizcd in various particulars. 1t Is
said what 1t will be decided to mean
no one can now toll, as 1t is possible
to construe 1t in several different
ways. The chairmsn also adds this
law does not change the application
of the hours of service law. The com
pany still has the right to work YOU
8 hours within any "a consecutive
hours If they so desire
81 note that the chief of one of the
locals of one OF tine brotherhoods has
ascertained the effect of the law on
those who complete their run IN less
than eight hours. He says that IT s
man makes a hundred-mile run in
five hours instead of getting his full
days pay he will only get five eighths
of days pay when paid on the eight
hour basis. He also says that for
merly the railroad men were entitled
to pay for 25 miles whenever called
out, whether they were used after re-
porting or not. But the Adamson bill
enacts a flat basis or eight hours for
the purpose of paying compensation,
while on the other hand II does not
establish an eight-hour work day.
Is Il Gold Brick.
81 think It Will be found that the
Adamson bill is a gold brick for lab
That is, not an eight-hour work day
bill There was not any eight hour
work bill proposition involved in it.
Things that are right can walk in
their own clothes: we have things that
are right If we go at them in the
right way.
I'VE have won n great deal i'm this
country in getting free institutions
and when you summarize IL all 1t
merely means the rule of public opin-
ion. after discussion. according to
what we think are tho merits Of the
case. 1t does not mean rule Of force
ut all. That will knock everything
out You will not have any work at
all If that idea once gets abroad IN
