words which three of the children,
Eleanor Riley, II; her brother, Billy, IS,
and Victor Morset, IL, told the prose-
cutor they heard as they walked toward
a neighbours home near the field where
Koehring's automobile rolled to a stop
off Highway IL, about nine miles east

case, Coroner Roy j. Pharo, who has
impaneled jury for the inquest to be
held Thursday. held steadfastly to the
belief that Koehring shot himself.

BY the Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky, November s.
Kentucky voted today at the close of
gubernatorial campaign in which adj
ministration Of the State Highway De-
partment was the principal issue. The
result will not be known for several
days because of the State law delay
ing the count.
Judge Ruby Laffoon. Madisonville,
was the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, and Mayor William 3. Harrison
Of Louisville his Republican opponent.
The Socialist-Labor nominee was Her
man Horning, Louisville. and the Social
list candidate John J. Thobe. Covington.
The latter two parties. which have
polled small votes in Kentucky in the
past. did not offer complete tickets.
Redistricting Is Issue.
Nine Statewide officers, the State
House of Representatives, half the
State Senate, several judges and many
city officials were chosen Democrats
expressed confidence of controlling the
State Legislature, because Republicans
offered no opposition in several dis
trlctS ana the majority OF hold-oVer
Senators are Democrats
A principal issue before the next
Legislature, which convenes in January,
is congressional redistricting. After
this session. Kentucky will have only
Representatives instead of IL. 1t has
been predicted that if the Democrats
win the Assembly will disregard the
congressional redistricting mandate,
taking a chance on being able to elect
all nine Representatives at large.
Louisville Being Watched.
Counting of votes cast today will not
begin until tomorrow, and 1t will re-
quire several days to complete tabula-
ton in the cities. The result of voting
in Louisville was awaited with interest,
since the Republican party had been
split by a primary fight. Louisville Is
largely Republican, and If the breach
is so evident today as to cut down Har-
rison's majority the Democrats figure
to carry the State.

avoid the long period Of conference
made necessary by the railroad labor
act.
Railroads now employ about 100000
persons at a total annual wage Of 81
100000 900. A general 10 per cent cut
would mean a certain saving of $780,
100000
Fail to Win Rate Case.
The roads failed to obtain a fiat is
per cent freight-rate increase from the
Interstate Commerce Commission, from
which they had hoped to gain $780,
600 900.
The commission did grant increases
on certain freight, but the increases
were contingent on the acceptance by
the roads of the commissions plan to
turn back the estimated Sl25, 100000
additional revenue for the benefit OF
weak roads
The last rail wage change was in
1926. It took from February l TO De-
cember Ill monthS-to change the
wages of conductors and flremen at
that time. To change the wages of en-
gineerS and firemen, it took from June
IS, 1926, to February 5, 1927.
The reason for these long periods is
the Federal law provides thorough con-
sideration before wage changes can be
made, and makes it possible for either
labor or employer to carry question
through several different sets OF con-
ferences before final action.
Thoroughly UniOnized.
Rail labor is thoroughly unionized. II
first showed its strength in 1915 and
1916 when it threatened a general strike
for an S-hour day.
Negotiations were started in the sum-
mer of 1918 and were ended in Septem-
Der, 1915, when President Wilson inter
vened. granting the 8-hour day. The
President is the court Of last resort In
abor-employe emergency.
A new rail labor act was passed IN
1920 after the Government turned the
roads back to private owners at the
: conclusion Of the war. Then the Rail
road Labor Board increased nearly all
wages. Up to 1926. when still another
rail- labor act was passed. there was
almost a continuous process OF wage
change. Only minor alterations were
made after 1926.
Psychological changes, greater EN-
/ cheney and loss of business through
! increased competition have cut the rail-
/ labor force from about 1000 900 in 1920
/ TO l 800 900 at present.
