| Nebraska SPEAKERS FIID VOTERS FOR HUGHES Eastern. Men Who Have Trav- eled Over State Enthusias- tic Over Prospect. BRYAN HAS LITTLE TO SAY| (From a Staft Correspandent.) Lincoln, Oct. 9—(Special.)—Three speakers, under the auspices of the re- publican state committee, after a week spent in campaigning in Ne- braska, came back convinced that Nebraska will give its electoral vote to Hughes. The speakers, W. J. Crank of Den- ver, C. C. Hunt of New York, and W. A. Hunsberger of New York, have, visited practically every section of the ‘state. Mr. Crank covered the western portion, Dr. Hunsberger was in the central and southern sections and Mr. Hunt was in eastern coun- ties, All three met at the republican state headquarters and agreed that the situ- ation was very satisfactory.irom a re- publican standpoint. Voters Want Facts. “Hiughes sentiment is rapidly grow- ing in Nebraska,” they agreed. “The Wilson sentiment reached its full strength two we now on the republican candidate is| certain to gain strength. We fc ml‘ the voters of Nebraska especially in-| terested in the campaign—they want | the facts and as soon as they get| them they begin thinking.” Frank Corrick, chairman of the pro- gressive state committee-of Nebraska, is in Utah in the interest of Charles E. Hughes, according to word re ceived in Lincoln by his friends. Mr. Corrick wrote that he found progres-| Sives all ever the west returning to the republican party. In Utah, Mr, Corrick was able to split up the fusion of progressives and democrats, and he anticipates a big vote will be cast for Hughes in that state. Position of Bryan. There was little consolation handed out to the anti-Bryan men when W. . Bryan returned to Lincoln yesterday | for a short time before leaving on a| campaign- tour. The anti-Bryanites are looking to the big chief to pull the democratic party through in this state. Mr. Bryan indicated he would speak for Wilson and the dry amend- | ment in-his campaign tour of the state the last week before election. He did not have a word to say about the senatorial, congressional or state| tickets. “Sassy” Nebraska Postmaster Loses Fight to Hold Job, A dispatch from North Platte states | that word has been received there to | the effect that the case against W. M. Coble, a postoffice inspector, act- ing postmaster at Bridgeport, has been dismissed. * The «case arose over the efforts; of G. L. Porter, former postmaster, to| have Coble enjoined from continuing in the office, the former having been | removed by the postmaster general because of so-called “sassy” corre- spondence written to the cabinet member. Several months ago Porter, accord- ing to the story, wrote to lhe' post- master general asking for additional clerks in the Bridgeport office. The reply to this letter was to the effect that the office in question” had as manpy clerks for its size and the amount of business done as any of- fice in the country. . Porter then wrote another letter to the' postmaster - general telling. him how many hours he (Porter) worked a day, and hcw many his clerks worked, and then interrogating fhe member of the cabinet as to how many he worked. The upshot of the matter, was that Porter was removed from office When Colby, the postoffice inspector, was sent to Bridgeport to take the office, Porter fought his removal on the grounds that, as he was appointed by the president, only the president could remove him from office, Founder of Aurora Goes to California To Make_His Home be Aurora, Neb.,, Oct. 8 —(Special.)— Robert Miller and Mrs. Miller left Aurora yesterday for California after continuous residence here since 1871 In fact, Mr. Miller was the first set- tler on the section of land which is now occupied by Aurora. He has rented his home for a year and will probably make his future home for all time in California. arly in 1871 the town of Aurora was surveyed by Mr. Miller and some others. The first meeting was held in a dugqut located on what is now Streeter p The new town was namgd Aurp from a town of that name in Illino Me. Miller relates that the evening of the meeting wds illuminated with a brilliant aurora borealis in the north ud this was regarded as a good ymen. - is.

What ac- HUGHES DISGUSSES THE ADAMSON LAW d froi T | | [ | | (Contil Page On man made his* 100 miles in less than ten hours, that is, in four heurs, he got'a day's pay. If it took him twelvé hours, for example, he got a day’s pay and two hours’ overtime. Now' the change was not to limit or.alter the urs of labor, but to pay on the basis of eight hours instead of ten hours. It is a mere increase of wages by fix- ing a different basis of calculating wages “Service over eight hours is hibited. It is not penalized, not pro- No pen- alty is provided for permitting any . one to work a longer time, On the | contrary, such work is evidently con- templated. The railroad funs must be completed in any case, and, under this bill, all service over eight hours is simply to be paid for pro-rata. The bill says that ‘for all necessary time in excess of eight houtrs sych employes shall be paid at a rate not less than the pro-rata rate for such standard eight-hour work day There no increased rate for additional hours. Not Eight-Hour Bill. “It is, therefore, wholly misleading to refer to this bill as an cight-hour bill. Let the bill be called by its right ame. What is fair and right can fford to be described correctly and 1 stand on its merits “What the purpose of this at- ake the public believe that an cight-hour work day? tly, in order to endeavor to this extraordinary action of the administration in its abject and hu- miliating surrender of principle in de- manding and securing this legi without any proper inquiry, price of peace. Evidently it is felt that a wage increase could not be justified in this manner, So it is sought to give the impression that what was done was to fix an eight-hour work day and that this wasalready approved by the judgment of society. A shameless perversion! Even as an eight-hour work day the judgment of society has never been passed on its application to railroads, with their road divisions and hours of duty. Want to Be Heard. “The raiiroad employes themselves would desire to be heard on this point. If there was any such judgment of socicty, why did the administration limit the application of the bill to these particular employes? Is not the cight-hour work day quite as impor- tant for 80 per cent as for 20 per cent? What becomes of the suggestion that the eight-hour work day was granted not because it was demanded, but be- cause it was right? On this assump- tion, why not grant it to all railroad employes? Is there any special judg- ment of society for the 20 per cent? The more highly paid? Why does the bill except electric railroads and those railroads which are less than An Increase in Wages. “If the administration was giying effect to the judgment of society, wh did it not pass the measyre at the be- ginning of the administration, or cer- tainlv a year ago? The president says that the matter was agitated for over a year. We might at least expect the so-called judgment of society discov- ered by the administration to -appear in the democratic platform., The an- swer is that we are not -dealing with any judgment of society or with "an eight-hour work day, but with an m- crease of wages, as to the justice of which neither ety nor the adminis- tration has any information. “] may add’ that hasty legjslation is likely to carry with it unwelcome surprises. 1f eight hours is to be a ‘measure orfstandard of a day’s work' for the purpose of reckoning the com- pensation to be paid, how are lI_u s¢ men left, who complete the prescribed number of miles in less than (-1gh.|’ hours? Have they any assurance, if they are to be paid under this bill, of a basis of hours, that they will be paid on a basis of miles when they work less than eight hours? And how will a rigid eight hours’ basis of pay affect present guarantees? There much food for thought in this legisla- tion, not only on the part of those for whom it does not provide, but on the part of those to whom it expressly refers. Not Opposed by G. O. P. “The republican party has not been opposed to the principle of an eight- hour work day. Many years ago a republican congress provided that work for laborers, workmen and me- chanics employed by the United States. In 1892 it was provided that all laborers and mechanics employed by the Uhited States, by the District of Columbia, or by any contractor or subcontractor, upon any ¢f the pub- lic works of the United States or within the district of Columbia, would be limited to eight hours’ work a day and employment for a larger period was punishable by fine or imprison- ment or both. In 1901 congress di- rected that in all irrigation construc- tion work eight hours should consti- tute a day’s work. In 1912, provision was made that letter carriers in the city delivery service and clerks in sec- énd class postoffices should not be re- quired to mork more than eight hours a day, except in cases of éxigiency. Labor Federation Opposed It. “Hitherto the American Federation of Labor has not favored legislation limiting hours or fixing wages for adult labor in other than government- al employments, In September, 1914, I understand that the fedération ad- opted the following resolution: “‘Resolved that the American Fed- eration of Labor, as in the past, de- clares that the regulation ot wagy, «nd liours of Jabor should be undertaken through trades union activity, and not legislation, except insofar as the employment of women and rlu!vh(-n," health and morals, and the employ of the 1 state and ni governme affected. | “This was approved again by the federation in November, 1915.> Not, at the outset, did the brotherhood scek to obtain their ends by legislation. It| was through the action of the admin- istration that the Adamson bill was demanded. The administration threw up its hands, abandoned the principle of arbitration, abandoned the painciple of fair inquiry beiore the legislative action, and.in a panic of fear rushed to congress to get this bill passed, as the price of peace. The Adamson bill thus came to embody the terms of a humiliating surrender to duress. Administrative Capitulation. | I'his encouragement of force, this | capitulation of the administration, is| the worst thing that has happened in S| wuch quest . Ldias S5 WARREN G. HARDIN Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio will discuss national issues at the Brandeis theater this evening. The senator is a forceful speaker and has commanded much attention his speech-making tour, He spok: yesterday at Grand Island and Hast- tion will the government refuse, if force demands it? The administration has indeed certain proposals, which it said were to provide against recur- rence of such a situation in the fu- ture, but these proposals were' op- posed and consequently were not adopted. What is left of them? Why. should they ever be adopted if the same pressure is exércised to defeat them? What a fatuoug_thing it is to surrender principle to force and to hope to stand for principle later. When principle is involved, stand firm now! Do not run away and dream that you will have more cour- age in a future day. Serious Blow to Labor. “This bill is a serious blow to la- bor. It undermines what labor has sought to maintain. It substitutes legislation for collective bargaining. I do not speak of the validity of the bill. T am speaking of its policy from the labor standpoint. Is labor pre- pared to give up collective bargain- ing and to have wages fixed by faw? If wages cpuld be increased by law they could be decreased, “The principle of arbitration has been betrayed. Labor has worked for this principle. 1t has'won im- portant victories, and public opinion has developed in, its favor- But*what becomes of this principle {f arbitra tion is scouted and force is recog- nized as victor? The essence of arbi tration is a fair, prompt and impartial hearing. Yet it is idle to say that such a hearing could not be had. That is simply to insist that we can- not provide for justice in this coun- try. Such a doctrine is revolutionary. Of course we can provide for prompt, candid and thorough investigation, and determination if we insist upon it. We shall never do it if we sub- stitute force or yield to force. Krbitration Was Possible. “Obviously unworthy is the excuse that the question of an eight-hour day is not arbitrable. We have no n here, as 1 have shown, but it is plain that if it were pro- posed there would be many matters that would have to be considered, before an eight-hour work day could be applied to railroads. Else, why was it not fixed now, for all roads and all men? Eighteen years ago congress expressed the national pos- cy in providing for mediation and ar- Big Eaters Get Kidney Trouble Says Aqthqrity Take a tablespoonful of salts to flush Kidneys if Back hurts, - Omit all meat from diet if you feel Rheumatic or Bladder bothers.
