By the Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohlo, November 3 ©Ohio elected two Congressmen today. with one contest conceded a walkaw but the other offering the strange pic- ture of good Democratic chances for victory in the Republican stronghold Jong dominated by the late Speaker of the House, Nicholas Longworth. The first Ohio district (Cincinnati), normally heavily Republican, was thrown into the doubtful column be- cause of local complications and Long- worth’s narrow margin of 4,000 votes in the last election, T candidates tster. ‘Republican, were John B. Holl- and State Senator David Lorbach, Democrat, both attor- neys. Nelther made any active cam- aign on the surface and political fol- owers attributed this to their hopes of landing the independent vote. The campaign was further complicated by the scrap between the old Republican organization and the non-partisan “charter group” over control of muni- eipal offices In the twentieth district (Cleveland), which in the past has gone overwhelm- ingly to his party, Martin L. Sweeney, Democrat, was conceded an easy elec- tion. His opponent was D. Haydn Parry, Republican. The campaign was unusually quiet. The seat from this district was left open by the death of the late Charles A. Mooney. Only one State issue— $7,500,000 bond issue to rehabilitate | Ohio's various welfare institutions— was on the ballots, but a number of bit- ter local campaigns were settled.

Vincent of Saginaw. The Republican nominee is Foss O Eldred, Ionia lawyer, who has the support of prohibition organizations. The Democratic nominee is Michael J Hart, Saginaw grain dealer, whom Rep- resentative Vincent defeated by a vote of 19953 to 13.636 in 1930. Hart has declared for prohibition - modification Partisan issues, however, have been em- phasized in the campaign. | For the first time in several years the minority party has made & serious ef- fort to elect its candidate.

The labor leacers for the past year bave been attempting to get the rail- road executives around a table for dis- cussion of their mutual problems. Several months ago they proposed that the executives meet with them to take up unemployment and regulation of competitive farms of transportation —highway and whter carriers and pipe lines—for which the roads themseles are seeking restrictions. The proposal | was made to the Association of Rail- | way Executives and the individual car- |+ riers themselves informed of the sires of the workers, In reply the unions were informed that the Association of Railway Execu- tives does not deal with labor maiters because cf the diversity of conditions ughout the country as regards this matter and because of the technical ce- tails connected with it. It was added that it was the sentiment of the roads that the issue was one that should be handled through customary channels, meaning with the individual carriers Attention also was called to the resulis that had been obtained by such inde- pendentaction As for regulation of competitors, the policy of the carriers was reiteratec equality for all forms of transportation, | the best service at the lowest possible | cost to the public and_co-ordination of the several agencies.

VISITING MAYOR TALKS Daniel Hoan of Milwaukee Tells of City’s Police Bystem. Mayor Daniel Hoan of Milwaukee, Wis., last night addressed local mem- bers of the Sociglist party at a meet- ing in Musicians' Hall, 1008 E street. The mayor was on a brief visit to the Capital ‘and departed last night Mayor Hoan discussed Milwaukee's police department methods. outlining the police school system used there. avoid the long period of conference made necessary by the railroad labor act Railroads now employ about 1,300,000 persons at a total annual wage of $2,- 500,000,000. A general 10 per cent cut would mean a certain saving of $250,- 000,000. Fail to Win Rate Case. The roads failed to obtain a flat 15 per cent freight-rate increase from the Interstate Commerce Commission, from which they had hoped to gain $400,- 000,000 The commission did grant increases on certain freight, but the increases were contingent on the acceptance by the roads of the commission’s plan to urn back the estimated $125,000,000 additional revenue for the benefit of weak roads. The last rail wage change was in 1926. It took from February 1 to De- cember 1—11 months—to change the wages of conductors and firemen at that time. To change the wages of en- gineers and firemen, it took from June 25, 1926, to February 5, 1927 The reason for these long periods is sideration before wage changes can be de, and makes it possible for either abor or employer to carry a question through several different sets of con- ferences before final action Thoroughly Unionized. Rail labor is thoroughly unionized. It first showed its strength in 1915 and 1916 when it threatened a general strike for an 8-hour day Negotiations were started in the Sum- mer of 1915 and were ended in Septem- ber, 1916, when President Wilson inter- vened. granting the 8-hour day. The President is the court of last resort in a labor-employe emergency A new rail labor act was passed in 1820 after the Government turned the r back to private owners at the lusion of the war. Then the Rail- oad Labor Board increased nearly all wages. Up to 1926, when still another rail labor act was passed almost a continuous process of wage change. Only minor ailterations were made after 1926. Technological changes, greater effi- clency and loss of business through increased competition have cut the rail labor force from about 32,000,000 in 1920 t0 1,300,000 at present.
