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 nrst
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 ,hhe Louisville district, and makes
the price 3S cents per ton for loading
coal after the machines, where 1t had
been 40 cents per ton before the strife.
On account of the roof being hard to
timber Mr. Mitchell has always paid

$500 men thrown out of employment
by suspension ut the Colorado Fuel and
Iron steel plant have left the city.
Those who were discharged with the
closing down OF the wire and bolt mills
last Saturday night received their pay
yesterday and left for eastern points.
There are now only about 500 men at
work In the entire plant. most Of
whom are employed by contractors
who are building blast furnaces and

more than the scale, and will continue
to pay 40 cents or more, which is
cents above the scale.
Many miners who left on account OF
the strike are returning. and new ones
are coming in on every train. 1t Is not
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 a house cannot be rented at any
rrice.
The principal mines which resumed
work this morning are: Rex L., with
100 men, Rex H., $50: Hecla, 100;
Acme. %, all operated by the Northern
Coal Company, and the Matchless with
about 49, and the Hoyt 25. These are
all located at Louisville At Lafayette
the Haywood, working 100 men; Simp-
son, 200; Gladstone, 30; 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 rs 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
mer will be working there tomorrow.

THE KANSAS EIGHT HOUR LAW IS
SUSTAINED BY SUPREME COURT

Washington, Dec. 1.-The United
States Supreme Court yesterday af-
firmed the constitntionality 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 II 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 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 a day. Both fine and
Imprisonment are provided for viola
ton of the law.
The case decided yesterday was that
of w. w. Atkins VS.. the state of Kan
sas. Atkins had contract with the
corporation of Kansas City. Kansas, for
paving. and yhe was charged with re-
The state herald. (Holyoke, Logan County, Colo.) 1887-1921, 1903-12-04

quiring 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
ton of the fourteenth amendment of
the constitution. in that It 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 n public character
and does not infringe on the personal
liberty of any one.

Three Chief Offenders.

In his memorandum on the postofiice
frauds, President Roosevelt says that
the three chief offenders in the govern
ment service were James NJ. Tyner, as
sistant attorney general for the Post
Office Department; A. w. Machen, gen
eral superintendent of the free delivery
system, and George w. Beavers, gem
eral superintendent of salaries and al
lowances He goes on to say:
THE friends of Tyner have adj
vanced the theory that in his case the
chief offender was really his nephew by
marriage, Barrett, who was his assist
ant in the Office for part of the time
and that Tyners offenses are due to his
falling bodily and mental powers. The
facts set forth in Mr., Bristow's report
do not tend to substantiate the validity
of these excuses for Tyner, while they
show literally astounding misconduct
in Barrett For Machen and Beavers
no excuse of any kind has been alleged.
In the case of Metcalf, the superinten-
dent of the money-order system, the
most vigorous protests were at first
made on his behalf by a large num-
Der of reputable citizens, and also by
Others who were at the time deemed
reputable, but who it has since been
discovered were pfofitin,s by Metcalf's
misconduct One of them has been in
dicted in connection with him. When
these Investigations were begun, some
nine months ago. many of the CHIEF
offenders who have been indicted or
dismissed. or both. as above enumer-
ated, were considered to have excel
lent regulations. A number of the
most respectable people in the land Of
fered voluntary testimony on behalf of
Mr.. Tyner. So highly were Messrs.
Beavers and Machen thought of by
these who had been brought into close
connection with them that the Con-
gress actually provided at its last ses-
sion for raising the salaries of both,
the salary in each case being increased
5000. to take effect at the beginning OF
the fiscal year on July list last.
But that date they were both out OF
Office, and the department of justice
was taking steps to have them indict-
ed. During Machen's term of service
he was twice Investigated by the Con-
gress, once by committee of the Sen
ate and once by committee of the
House, but cleared on each occasion.
Yet at that very period, as has been
shown in the present investigation, he
was engaged in the corrupt business
for which he has now been removed
and indicted. This is no reflection upon
the committees who conducted the in
vestigation; for so skillfully had Mach
On concealed his wrongdoing that it
was only revealed after months of la
borious and exhaustive work by
trained inspectors"
