Labor Claims Victory.
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 13.-Labor
leaders claimed victory today when
news came that the government labor
commission would investigate condi-
tions in ST. Paul and Minneapolis
that led to the call for a general
walkout. Their aim. they said. had
been to get governmental investiga-
ton and the news was regarded as
virtually meaning federal interven-
ton.
Reports from various sources indi-
Gated that the number Of union men
who obeyed the call for a general
strike at 10 o'clock a. M, was con-
siderably less than the so per cent
labor leaders last night predicted
would go out. Some Of the railroad
shopmen left their jobs. but others
declared they would not go out today
and 1t was said by railroad officials

call.
Others obeyed in larger proper

WOMEN INJURED
THROUGH FALLS

Mrs. John F. Yost was severely IN
iured at 6 o'clock last night while
on her way down town when she
slipped upon an icy spot on the side
walk and fell striking her head
heavy blow which for a time so dazed
her as to destroy all memory oil
things which had occurred within
few hours before the accident.
She came to the Star-Mirror office
with her son. Leonard, who was ac-
companying her, and rested few
minutes, but finally was taken to her
home where she spent a most dis
tressine night on account of pain. This
afternoon she was in a much better
condition, and since no bones were
broken and no fractures resulted from
the fall, her recovery promises to be
speedy and complete.
Mrs. H. r. Smith slipped and fell
on the ice near the Methodist parson-
age yesterday afternoon, breaking her
wrist.

ALLOW PEOPLE TO
DIVIDE COUNTIES
ENABLING ACT MAY BE PASSED
TAKING QUESTION OUT OF LEG
ISLATURE'S HANDS

BOISE, Jan. 17-Members of both
houses coming from counties directly
connected with the county division
bills may be relieved of the respon-
sibility of satisfying their constitu-
ents. An enabling act, designed to
take county division out of the hands
of the legislature and placing the
power solely in the hands OF the
counties affected, is among the pro-
posed progressive legislation, and if
this bill is introduced and made law
before county division bills are re-
ported back by the committee, it will
DO away with the number of bills that
threaten to take up much of the time
of both houses.
Relieving the Legislature of county
division affairs would expedite mat
ters and it would also give the law
makers more time and better
chance to enact legislation pertaining
to the whole state. The question is.
however, whether or not divisionists
will have sufficient votes to defeat
the proposed enabling act.

Hadfield's Munition company of Shef-
field, England, for IA 16-inch armour

The contract provides for the delivery

The ability of the foreign manufac-

to the fact. that the Allies navy has
been inactive practically all the time
during a long period and that the de-
mand for navy munition has been
