Chicago. March 1o.--Tt was officially
announced here last night that the vote
of 100000 engineers, firemen and train
men OF American railroads overwhelm-
ingly favored authorizing union heads
to enter into negotiations with the rail-
roads for an eight hour day.
The following statement was issued:
while the returns from the member
ship of these four organizations are not

Is overwhelmingly In favor Of present
ing to the railway companies of the
United States the requests for the eight
hour day and the time and one-half
for overtime. Consequently the move
ment with that object in view will be
carried forward in its regular course.
The present vote has no signif-

all reports that II has any significance
as strike vote are erroneous and mis-
leading. In the immediate future the
requests will be presented to the rail-
way managements and the necessary

The Road Question.
Now, suppose you want to hear
something about the road question,
which is a real issue In this campaign,
When this question Of road legislation
came up. began to study 1t, and !
found that originally in Iowa there
were two problems, one was to get
from the farm to the market, and the
other was to get from the market to
the outside world. The railroad has
solved the problem of getting from the
market to the outside world, that left
the problem Of the road from this
farm to the market. and that is the
road problem we have in Iowa today.
There is another school Of thought
on the road question, and they advo.
cate the building Of two or three
paved highways east and west and
two or three north and south through
Iowa. Mr., Meredith has joined those
OF this school of thought.
-Four years ago when q lobby was
maintained about the legislature by
the cement combine for the purpose Of
promoting these cement highways,

The fact is that when Cowles was
