Miners Have Gone to Work.

Helper, Utah. Dec. 21.-The open
ing of the Castle Gate mine OF the
Utah Fuel company today was ac-
any kind. The miners appeared for
work at the usual hour this morning
and passed into the mine as if no
trouble had ever existed The pres
ence of company guards would have
sufficed to prevent strikers from mo-
testing the miners, had any effort been
made. which was not the case. The
entrance to the mine was protected by
company guards and all the works
likewise cared for The troops were
in readiness. but not needed. and re-
manned in camp during the early
morning as usual.
The Castle Gate mine shut down
ON account of the strike on Nov 20.
being the only mine entirely closed.
Some of the machinery showed disuse,
by breaking and working stiffiy today
but otherwise all went we'll Trains
of cars passed from the mine south
to the tipple at regular intervals the
outside men were busy and the main
scene about the camp generally was
one of activity. The company re-
ported 102 men at work in the mine
during the afternoon.
Two more men were arrested at
Castle Gate today on the charge cf de-
frauding the company by securing
goods under false pretenses. A COM
pany official states that it is not the
desire to prosecute the men. as all are
young fellows. and they will be Civ
en- chance to work out the value of
the goods.

RATES.
George J. Kindel Says This City
Is Entitled to Lower Rate on
Long and Short Haul.

Under the auspices of the Cham ber
of Commerce. Mr.. George J. Kindel,
OF Denver. addressed large and rep
resentative audience at the Court
house last night on the question of
the unjust discrimination of the rail
roads against Grand Junction. as
compared with other points east and
west of us. Many of the people who
are directly interested were kept
away on account of the accident at
the electric light plant. which left
the Court house in utter darkness for
two hours. but nevertheless there was
good attendance.
Mr.. Kinuel began by illustrating,
diagrammatically, the apparent dis
crimination against all Colorado. with
special reference to his own city.
Denver. and Grand Junction. He
explained that the fundamental basis
for computing freight tariffs was fix
ed rate in mills per ton per mile;
and that whereas traffic manager of
the Southern Pacific had once testified
that their rate was 2-3 mills (at
which rate his road made plenty of
monev) we in Colorado were actually
paving at the rate of 81 mills.
1t was conclusively brought out by
Mr.. Kindel that we were entitled to
relief under the long and short clause.
which makes it illegal for a common
carrier. doing an Interstate business.
to charge more for short hauls than
for long hanls when the former are
embraced in the latter. under similar
conditions. Yet this is done constant
ly. a never ending stream of goods be-
ing taken to Denver and Salt Lake
rate than these goods would be drop
ped off at Grand Junction. and these
goods 90 right through here.
Mr.. Kiudel Kept piling facts upon
facts for two hours. and then at his
invitation a score of local shippers
asked various questions. and added
their experiences. which coincIded
absolutely with the illustrations the
speaker had made. and showed that
our prosperity was in the hands of the
railroads and that we would never be
city of Importance. or really pros
porous community. in spite of our in
comparable locality and our wonderful
resources. until we took united action
and firm stand to protect our COM
merce. and build it up to what it
mast and ought to be. And this can
only be done by fight for an equit-
able intermediate rate on both in
bound and outbound freight. Tie
| fight for this relief must be made
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. which body would surely
give us relief on proper representa-
| tion of the facts and conditions as
they exist. Mr.. Kindel said emphat-
icallv that we had the strongest case.
without exception, that he has looked
into in years and that we could de-
pend absolutely upon favorble decis-
ion. And he added that to attempt
to advertise our valley and get settlers
in here with the conditins as they are
at present. we would be doing so un-
der false pretenses. and without fair
and correct statement of the conditions
these newcomers would have to face

Judges, Wigs,

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi,
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it falls in this respect. The Gus,
tom was originated by a French Judge
in the seventeenth century. when, hap.
pening to don a marquis wig one day
he found 1t gave him such a stern and
dignified appearance that lie decided
to get II for himself and wear 1t al
all times in court. This he did. and
the result was 50 satisfactory from a
legal point Of view that not only
Judges. but barristers also. took up the
custom throughout Europe.
