Solving Difficulty.

An instance of how the mon union

nished by the National washery at
Minooka. This place worked during
the strike with forty non-union men.
Yesterday, according to Manager
Sharkey not one of the forty-five was
left and all the old hands are back in
their old places. When the strike was
declared off the non -unionsts, all of
them imports, began to leave, and the
company filled their places with old
employees as fast as the vacancies oc-

Rapid progress is being made to-
wards full resumption of operations at
the mines. Many more men were TAX
en- back, yesterday, and a number of
additional collieries started up About
so per cent. of old employees are back
at work, and the output is now about
fifty per cent. of what 1t is normally.
The Butler mine of the Erie company.
at Pittston, which was allowed to flood
during the strike, is being worked in
its upper veins. The water did not get
above the second lowest vein. Even
tually 1t will be pumped out and all
the veins reopened. The Fernwood, at
Natesvile, is the only one Of the Erie's
Collieries remaining idle. Serious falls
occurring during the strike will pre-
vent this place from being reopened for
some time, just how long it is impos-
sible to tell. The company has 50 per
cent of it's old employees back at work
and in the course of few days prac-
tically all except the steam men Will
be back in their old places.
The Delaware and Hudson company
has all except five places at work.
These arc the Latin. Laurel Run, Ply
mouth No. and Boston. which are un-
dergoing extensive repairs, and the
Baltimore slope, which is partly flood

Office that before many days these
places will all he in operation. About
so per cent. of the old employees are
back at work.
Ninety Per Cent. ct Work.
The Delaware Lackawanna and
Western found places for many more
,nen yesterday and now has fully 30
per cent. of it's normal force at work.
The Hallstead, which is flooded, and
likely to be abandoned. and the Sloan
and Central. at which repairs are being
made are the only Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western colliercs not work.

The Temple company has S5 per cent.
of its men at work. It's only idle COL
liery is the Northwest. which is being
rebuilt. The Ontario and Western COM
pany has about SO per cent. of it's old
men back and all its collierios working
except the Mt. Pleasant, which is being
repaired, and the flooded Richmond No.
8, where the few men who can be TAX
cn back refuse to be lowered into the
shaft by the non-union engineer.
The individual operators are rapidly
getting their places into shape. The
Austin Heights collery of Robinson &
Co., was partially flooded and will not
resume full handed for several weeks.
At nearly all of the others where re-
pair work does not temporarily delay
resumption some work is being done.
Jermyn No. l at Old Forge started up
full-handed yesterday, and Jermyn No.
is scheduled to resume today.
TO sum up the situation ut the big
companies collieries it might be said
that the normal number of collieries
are working with about so per cent. of
the usual number of employees. The

A SECOND WAY OUT.


0Some months ago the EXAMINER
under the head Of "a Way Out"
showed how the Pacific canal and
other canals could be pushed to
completion. Its idea was to organ
ize the whole valley on the east
side Of the river into one irrigation
district, then bond the new district
for enough money to complete these
canals The first steps toward this
end are now being taken and this
new district will be organized short
ly.
Now Montpelier wants a water
work system and we have "a second
scheme whereby it can get the same.
The leea IS perhaps not altogether
new. It is this:
It will be remembered that at the
last election for Waterworks, the
strongest argument against the
scheme was that there was nc
water for the system after 1t was
installed, all the water in Mont
pelier creek having been previously
appropriated.
Our idea is to build reservoir
at the site now owned by the city
by reason of location, or in othe
words at Thomas Fork crossing
This reservoir, according to tn
state engineer, can easily be mad

reservoir were there. This woul
prevent any conflict with presen
rights in the stream, and the cit

water it would need for city pul

MAY CHARGE HIGHER RATES.
Tariff on Grain Milled i'm Transit May
Be Legally Increased.

WASHINGTON. Nov 29.-The Interstate
commerce Commission to-day in an opinion
by Commissioner Prouty announced its de-
cision in the case of the Diamond mills
against the Boston & Maine Railroad Com
pany. The complainant brings grain. from
Western points to Buffalo, N Y, where it
is milled, and ships the products to points
on defendants line in New England. The
case involved the right of the railroad
company to impose an arbitrary charge of
cents per enc hundred pounds for grain
milled in transit The commission holds
that the shippers are not entitled as a mat
ter of right to mill grain in transit and for
ward the milled product under the through
rate in force on the grain from the point of
origin TO the place of ultimate destination.
1t also holds that the railroad company
did act unl1Wfully in imposing the arbi
trary charge of cents per one hundred
pounds i'm addition to the through grain
rate on the milled products.

CHINESE JADE CARVINGS.
Where Best Samples of the Beautiful
stone Are Found.
New York Evening Post,


The acquisition of the Bishop collection
of jades by the Metropolitan Museum of
Art will enable the New York public to
gain comprehensive knowledge of that
beautiful precious mineral and of the won
derful workmanship of the Oriental artists
and artisans who use it for glyptic decora-
ton. While the stone is not uncommon
internationally, the varieties used in East
ern art are quite rare. The best kinds come
from Burmah while Manipur, Thibet, Yum
nan. Sze-chuen and Quang-si are said to
supply large quantities annually. So large
Is the demand, so grasping the tax-collec-
tors, and so tempting the prize to thieves,
that the mines are kept as secret as posi-

hlgh mandarlnS are openly acknowledged
All others are exploited under cover. a
series of deposits in Yun-nan have been
known and worked by one family for sew
eral centuries. yet the locations has been so
well guarded that the Chinese officials are,
or profess to be, Ignorant of their where
abouts.
While jade comes in many shades. and
even colors. only a few are regarded as
precious in the Orient. These are the green,
ranging from dark olive to pale apple
green; the gray, and the brownish yellow
The other colorS are not without value, as
the stone is employed in making pedestals
for vases. figures, incense-boxes and altar
pieces
Texture is next in Importance to color
Transucence is more esteemed than trans
parency, semi-opacity or opacity. Cloudi-
ness. dappling and symmetrical spottinS
are very popular. In both color and texture
the element of fashion enters During the
Han dynasty dark olive or bottle green were
prime favorites. The Ming dynasty seemed
to prefer pale blush greens. while the pres
ent Manchu dynasty upholds the semi
opaque apple-green-
These dynastic preferences are of use in
determining the age of a jade. Another
criterion is the workmanship. The oldest
specimens are simple and graceful. Some
of the vases anu jars are OF the same three
conferred oval type as the Etruscan vase,
while others will compare well with Greek
designs. Oldest of all is the use of the
Greek border on a fiat hllet, which marks
so many of the Han carvings. The Ming
creations are more complex and fantastic
Dragon and sna<e-forms replace the vines,
leaves and flowers of the Han period. In
verted curves and conceived hypothenuses
are used profusely if not recklessly.
