There Is Still Time to
Make a Winning Race
Reward Hover. Near Waiting for Those Who Have the
- Stamina Grasp 1.-THE Hours That Remain
Have Great Possibilities
The Clock Ticking Away the Seconds That Will Bring The
Pioneers Campaign to a Close

It's a mighty long road that has
no ending, but if one travels far
enough the end will surely come in
sight. And so it is with The Bemidji
Pioneer voting campaign. The long
Journey for popularity and prizes will
come to an end for all contestants at
9 O'Clock Saturday night. AS stated
In previous campaign stories, the
campaign will positively close at 9
sharp, and not one dollar or vote will
be accepted after that time.
It is therefore advisable for all
contestants and those laboring in
their interests to send or mail their
votes in good time, to make sure of
safe arrival. However, the safest
and best way is for candidates to
come to the campaign department
Saturday morning or not later than
Saturday afternoon and deposit their
ballots in the ballot box.
But above all don't fail at the
critical time when one Of the cars is
within your grasp. Don't be q
gutter. Don't say this is too tough
. proposition for me. can't win the
hrst prize. II you want one Of the
cars make up your mind that you are
going to get 1t and you will get it.
Enough votes will win one Of those
cars and I will keep working for
votes with courage and patience and
win It,"
Don't allow yourself for one in
slant to entertain that delusion of
weak minds that anything which
ought to be done is impossible. There
Is always way to do anything that
ought to be done.
Remember what General Grant
said: I'm almost every battle after
hours of fighting there came a criti-
cal moment in which both parties
were tired out and the side that
braced up at that moment and
pounded hard would win"

Rules Governing Close Of Campaign.

Rules Governing Close Of Campaign.
Candidates cannot be too careful
about sending their ballots so that
they will reach the campaign depart
ment before 9 p. m. Saturday, No.
vember 1, and as a matter of precau-
ton, every one of them, especially
living outside of the city of Beidji,
should read and weigh each line of
what we have to say.
We would dislike to see any candi-
date lose single vote because of the
excitement which is suer to occur
during the last few hours Of the CAM
paign, or because OF some misunder-
standing on their part. 1t is impos-
s1ble for you to exercise too much
caution in arriving at full under
standing Of the rules and conditions
governing the closing of the cam
paign.
First-All votes and remittances,
no matter at what time mailed, must
be received in the office Of the cam
palgn department Of The Pioneer be-
fore p. m. Saturday. November |.
II not received at this hour they will
be worthless and will not be counted
Second-All remittances and votes
should be addressed to the campaign
manager and not to individuals. This
is to prevent confusion.
Ihlrd-Contestants may send in
their reserve votes any time now, as
the ballot box has been locked and
sealed and the key placed in The Pho
neer safe. This ballot oox will not
be opened except by the judges at the
hnal count. When sending in these
votes do not roll or fold, but send
them IN fiat package, using a little
cardboard so as to keep them abso-
utely nat. Be sure to use special
dellVery stamps on all letters, votes,
etc.
Fourth-Owing to the uncertainty
OF mail reaching candidates in time
to be returned for the final count,
the campaign department will not,
after today, return any votes that are
issued on subscriptions. Prompt &C.
knowledgment will be made, how
ever, by letter, Of all subscriptions
and remlttances received from candi-
dates, and the votes will be deposited
In the ballot box to the credit of the

prompt acknowledgment of subscrip-
lions and remittances that you send

clusion that you understand any par
ticular one until you are absolutely
caution Of careful reading is taken

corning votes being rejected because
they did not conform to the rules of

Hear Decision Of Director on
Requests for Immediate
Wage Increases for
100000.
STRIKE IS THREATENED
Vote Of Men Will be Taken No Mat
ter What Reply to Their
Request May
be.

[By Ralph F. Couch, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-Repre-
senting approximately 100000 men.
Presidents w. G. Lee and l.. e. Shep-
pard, of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Order of Railroad
Conductors, were to meet Rail Ddrec-
tor Hines today to hear his decision
on requests for immediate wage in
creases.
The trainmen asked raises averag-
ing forty per cent and the conduc-
tors thirty per cent to make scales
comply with increased living costs.
Demands of both organizations were
submitted early last summer and ex-
amined by the railroad wage adjust
ment board.
The rank and file Of both organi-
cations are threatening to strike un-
less the demands are met, it is en-
phasized.
Hines, it is presumed, will call the
attention of the Brotherhood officials
to an alleged decrease in the cost of
living of approximately Is per cent
as reported by the statistics bureau
of the labor department
President Sheppard said that, no
matter what Hines reply is, he will
call for a referendum in his organiza-
ton. President Lee also is expected
to call for a vote.
Officials and the rank and file of
the other twelve big railroad unions
are anxiously awaiting he result OF
today's conference as having bear
ing on demands presented by them.
The fourteen railroad unions are
acting in conjunction through the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor, according to
Sheppard Through this department,
100000 railroad shopmen recently
demanded wage increases averaging
- per cen.
Hines, at the suggestion of P.esi-
dent Wilson, offered an increase Of
three per cent. The shopmcn ac-
cepted the offer and called off a
strike which already had been or
dered. They served notice, however,
that the strike was postponed only
to give the government a reasonable
time in which to force decreases in
living costs.
The reasonable time" was rough
ly defined as three months. This
period is now regarded as having
expired Through their officials, the
shopmen are now expected to make
new representations to Hines.
Before the meeting with Lee and
Sheppard, Hines is expected to dis
cuss the general railroad labor situa-
ton with the heads OF the four big
brotherhood unions.

QE CANNOT FIGHT our GOVERNMENT"
(dvice of Lawyers and Majority of Speakers
in Favor of Obeying Injunction Issued
by Judge Anderson.

Most of the speeches centered on
! the question of Americanism, 1t was
learned. Many delegates declared
they could not go against the govern
ment of their adoption, although they
believed their cause was just.
| The miners strike was ordered in
call sent out on October 15 The
! national officers were authorized by
| a national convention held in Cleve-
land in July to call the strike If their
demands were not met by mine oper-
ators.
! These demands included six hour
day, a five day week and a sixty per
cent increase in wages. After con-
! lferences were held in Buffalo and
/ Washington, mine operators refused
I to accede to the mems demands. the
strike was ordered.
! President Wilson, declaring the
Istrike was illegal appealed to the
miners to withdraw the strike order.
/ At a meeting of the executive council
Itle district presidents and the scale
committee held in Indianapolis on
iOct. 90, the miners leaders refused to
agree to the presidents request and
| the strike order stood
! The strike went into effect at mid
inigth October 81. Four hundred thou-
sand miners-the full membership or
the union-quit work.
!. Coal production was reduced Dy
seventy-five per cent. The entire sup
iply of coal above ground would have
been exhausted in three weeks from
the time the strike started, according
/ to estimates.
The first step in the court acton
(which brought the withdrawal OF the
strike order was taken before Judge
| A. B. Anderson in United States 1eo-
1 eral district court here on OCTOBER 81.
! Judge A. B. Ames, assistant attor-
ney general asked for a temporary
restraining order preventing UNION OIL,
| ticials from furthering the strike ana
! from paying strike Dement'S. me ap-
peal was granted.
| Judge Anderson last Saturday Is
sued mandatory order demanding
union officials recall the strike order
before six o'clock p. m. today.
Immediately after the meeting ac-
iourned many of those who attenoed
hurried to catch trains 70 return 10
their local posts. They Will dlrect
INC mems action under the strike
order withdrawal
There appeared to be no question
Mt what the union officials intended
their action to be bona fide ending
of the strike.
"Our greatest fear is that the men
will think we are merely taking this
action to comply with the courts
order and not with the intention OF
ending the strike" saiG one high OIL
cial.
1--WE are not withdrawing the strike
order with wink of an eye. we are
going to use everything in our power
to induce the men to return TO WORK.
The withdrawal order was draiteo
early today. 1t will be submitted 10
the court and must have the Judge
approval before it can De placed III
