THE KANSAS EIGHT HOUR LAWS
SUSTAINED BY SUPREME COURT

quiring a workingman named Reese to
labor ten hours day. He was prose-
cuted in the state courts, where the
decisions were uniformly against him.
Atkins appealed from the decision of
the State Supreme Court to the Fed
eral Supreme Court, alleging that the
statute is in violation of the first sec
tion of the fourteenth amendment OF
the constitution, in that 1t denied him
due protection of the law and deprived
him Of his property without due pro-
cess.
Referring to the only other decision
of the court on the eight-hour question,
that of Holden VS.. Hardy. in which the
court sustained the law of Utah fixing
an eight-hour day for miners employed
underground, Justice Harlan called at
tention to the fact that while the Utah
case involved private interests, the
present case involves employment on
public works only.
The opinion was based on the theory
that all the municipalities of state
are the creations Of the state; that
work for them is Of public character
and does not infringe on the personal
liberty of any one.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The United
States Supreme Court yesterday af-
firmed the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law of the state Of Kansas
regulating labor on public works. JUS
tice Harlan said, in handing down the
opinion, that If the statute is mischiev-
Gus. the responsibility rests with the
Legislatures, and not the courts. Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Brewer and
Peckham dissented.
The Kansas law whose validity was
brought into question in the suit was
enacted in 1891 and provided that eight
hours should constitute a days work
for workmen employed by or on behalf
of the state, or by any county or city
or other municipality in the state. 1t
also prohibits contractors from requir-
ing laborers engaged on work for the
state to perform more than eight
hours labor in day. Both fine and
Imprisonment are provided for viola
ton Of the law.
The case decided yesterday was that

NORTHERN COAL MINERS ARE
ONCE MORE ACTIVELY AT WORK

Denver. Dec. IA News special
from Louisville, Colo, last night says:
The full dinner pail brigade of the
Northern coal fields returned to the
mines at the blowing of the whistles
this morning, and the wheels Of indus
try commenced turning once again.
The idleness at the mines that has en-
sued for the past three weeks was
broken. Amid the shouts of the min
ers at 4:42 this afternoon the first
train load OF coal that has left Louis
Vile for about three weeks pulled out
Of the yards for Denver. 1t consisted
Of twenty cars of lump and slack.
The output of the Northern field was
not as large as was expected. 1t would
not reach over 1000 tons. Several of
the miners did not wish to start to
work. as it is the last day of the
month. but all will be digging to-mor-
row. The machine men had not cut
sufficient coal for all the miners to
load, SO some had to come home.
There was a slight furry at the Mon
arch mine, at Mitchell, this morning
on account Of the wage scale. The
new scale places the Monarch mine
in the Louisville district, and makes
the price 38 cents per ton for loading
coal after the machines, where it had
been 40 cents per ton before the strike
On account of the roof being hard to
timber Mr.. Mitchell has always paid
Gilpin observer., 1903-12-03

more than the scale, and will continue
to pay 40 cents or more, which is 2
cents above the scale.
Many miners who left on account OF
the strike are returning, and new ones
known where all the miners can be
housed that will be needed to operate
the mines properly. Many new houses
have been built in Louisville this sum
-mer, but still there is a great scarcity,
and q house cannot be rented at any
price.
The principal mines which resumed
work this morning are: Rex l., with
100 men: Rex H., $50; Hecla, 100;
Acme. 25, all operated by the Northern
Coal Company, and the Matchless WITH
about 40, and the Hoyt rs. These are
all located at Louisville. At Lafayette
the Haywood, working 100 men; Simp-
son, 200; Gladstone, 80; Mitchell, 80;
the last three being operated by the
Northern Coal and Coke Company. At
Erie, the Northern Coal and Coke
Company operate the Lehigh mine,
with the Garfield mine, owned by Pat
field G. Brown, works about 40 men.
the Lister mine had so men working
to-day. There are five or six country
banks about Erie, Lafayette and west
of Louisville, which altogether employ
about IS men. The Gorham and Fox
mines, at Marshall, did not work to-
day, nor did the Industrial at Superior
About twenty men reported for work
at the Monarch mine at Mitchell, but
little coal was taken out. About 100
men will be working there tomorrow.

Farmers Interest In Roads.

1t costs the farmers Of the United
States nearly three times more to get
their crops to market than 1t does the
farmers OF Europe on an equal ton
mage OF farm products. This is be-
cause the roads of Europe are three
times a. good as the roads of this
country on an average. The enor-

In his message to the Fifty-seventh
Congress, President Roosevelt recon-
mended congressional legislation for
the appointment of such a commission

ator Warren introduced a resolution

session Senator Warren re-introduced
the resolution. providing for a commits
sion composed Of experts already in the

conditions and to report their findings
to Congress.
The commission appointed yesterday
will report directly to the President
and while its conclusions will not be
available in time to be utilized by him

GERr1ANY DASHES
COLUMBIA'S HOPES

Washington, Dec. 1.-Mr. sBeaupre,
our minister to Bogota, has received
several different propositions from the
Colombian government, each contain
ing some indirect method OF rectifyine
what the Colombians themselves now
regard as a fatal blunder of permitting
the Hay-Herran treaty to expire last
September.
Mr.. Beaupre for his part is using his
best efforts to make 1t clear to the Co

dead beyond resurrection and that he
cannot even conduct negotiations look
ing to the acquisition from Colombia
OF a right of way across the isthmus,

over which Colombia has no authority.
Germany has recognized Panama as
a sovereign and independent state. The
first secretary Of the German embassy
to-day addressed note to M. Bunau-
Varilla, minister OF Panama, informing
him that the German government, hay-
ing received notification Of the creation
Of the new republic and has formal
assurances that Panama assumed and
would execute all obligations contained
in the treaties between Germany and
Colombia. SO far as they affected the
territory over which Panama Is now
sovereign. his majesty, the Emperor
and King. extended full recognition to
the new republic and long life.
In view Of the precedent set by Ger

European powers will grant an equal

lie and exempt from all obligations, SO
