 SLOWING UP AS
 COUNT G0ES ON

An appreciable decrease was notice able in the gains made by Hunt in the various precincts counted during the contest proceedings yesterday It ap- pears that the Hunt forces primarily called for the precincts in which their figures indicated they would make their largest gains, but as the count progresses these gains are gradually diminishing, as was indicated by the result of the court proceedings yes terday
 Six precincts were counted yesterday in which nine ballots were laid aside for court ruling.
 In Camille precinct Santa Cruz coun- ty, the court count tallied with the of ficial count, with one ballot laid aside for ruling.
 In Frisco precinct, Mohave county, with two ballots laid aside for court ruling, Hunts total is one less and Campbelrs tallies even with the official count. The ballots referred to as be- ing held for ruling are both marked for Hunt. but are endorsed on the back with the word spoiled"
 In Kingman. Hunt gained two in un disputed ballots and Campbell also gained two. Six ballots were laid aside for court ruling which were marked rejected.
 In owen precinct, Mohave County Hunt gained one vote over the officia count, although his followers had fig ured out gain of two
 In Short Creek precinct, Mohave County, Hunt gained one vote.
 In Elgin precinct, Santa Cruz coun- ty. the court count tallied with the of ficial count. although the Hunt fac tion had expected to gain one vote.
 During yesterdays proceedings tho court ruled on one ballot which hat been laid aside in Upper Lowell pre-. cinct This ballot was marked witt one diagonal line in the square follow ing Hunts name instead of a cross anC was counted for Hunt. This ballot wa! also mutilated by having a large hol, torn near the center of it. At the sam, time this ballot was counted for Hun by the court he also counted a ballo for Campbell marked with a diagona line. The counting of this ballot in Up per Lowell for Hunt gave him a gaii of one in that precinct, although hi supporters had calculated on gainint three.
 In AT completed precincts Hunt gain to date is 122. or 9 less than h had anticipated. His gain will prob ably fall far short of this 122, as il some of the precincts in which gain have been made the number of ballot counted in the court proceedings ex ceeds the number of names of those vot ing. as shown by the poll books.

We simply won't sign one sided contract, that's all. We are willing to hire union men. pay them union wages and work them union hours, but we will not consent to sign ing a contract which gives them the opportunity of hiring and firing our operators whether we like it or not.
 When we walked into that confer ence this morning they stated that they wanted us to talk over a new contract and we said nothing doing Then they threatened that they would put through adverse legislation, such as closing down Sundays. and we told them to go ahead, that our expenses would he less and the operators would make less. If they want to kill the goose which lays the golden egg. why, let them go ahead and do it.
 'The operators who walked out have most of them left town, but if there are any who want to come back to work, why, we are willing to have them show up and go to it, but as for signing that contract, nothing doing"
