COAL AND THE RATE BILL.

In the matter Of its coal supply, Utah
Ia very much at the command Of the
railroads. There are. to be sure, coal
companies which handle the coal and
deliver to the dealers through the rail
roads, but these companies are allied
or affiliated with the railroads in such
manner that only the companies so
affiliated are able to send coal TO this
market.
In so far as any of these companies
are, in effect, railroad companies or
companies in which the railroads have
any interest direct or indirect, the new
rate bill which goes into effect May
!, 1905, will play an important part
IN their coal mines and coal sales.
The bill provides that from and after
tho date given 1T will be unlawful for
any railroad company to transport any
article or commodity other than tim
her aud the manufactured products
thereof, manufactured, mined or pro-
duced by 1T or under its authority, OF
which 1t may own in whole or in part,
or in which it may have any interest,
direct or indirect except such article
or commodities as may be necessary
ana intended for It's use in the conduct
OF It's business as a common carrier
Ihat necessarily means that no rail
road company shall have any interest,
direct or Indirect, in any coal brought
into this State for commercial pur-
poses It must have no interest direct
or indirect in any concern handling
such coal. The provision seems to be
very sweeping and very drastic.
Probably there would be no intent
or desire to evade the provision of the
law, but it is evident that there must
be reorganization of the coal business
here prior to May l, 1908 Just what
form that reorganization will take is a
matter of good deal of speculation
and present uncertainty. 1t looks as
though the mines in Wyoming owned
by the railroad must he disposed of ab.
solutely 10 other parties.
As to the coal from points in Utah.
of course the rate bill will cut no fig.
ure.
At the present time it will be of
Importance to the people here to note
in future whether this rate bill will
IN this particular be 10 their advantage
in the lowering of the price of coal, or
whether the price under the new INV
wal advance. Time will tell but in the
meantime We must live in hope even
II occasionally we tremble somewhat in

PULLED HIM OUT.

Despite the Indignation which Con-
gressman Howell has aroused in Utah,
he is not TO be allowed TO sink into
oblivion. President Smith does not as.
sent TO the determination of Howell !;
and therefore Apostle Reed Smoot, ms
political prime minister of the church,
must pull Howell out of the miry slough
and set him on foot again as political
fsvorite.
Elder Howell has had painful ex-
perlence during the ten days just past
lie has learned that there is no divinity
which doth hedge a Congressman in
Utah. The ward heclers have derided
him, and the so.cnlled respectables
of his party have condemned him 10 the
nethermost regions 1t is only in his
ecclesiastical capacity that he retains
the general respect; and hereafter he.
like Apostle Smoot, will probably insist
upon his church title of Felder' when
ever he engages in political controver.
sy, so that respect may attach TO him
for the name oven when his actions
deserve nothing but contempt
If burned child breads the FIRE, how
much moro must an elder dread the
slimy pool into which he plunged him.

Operators Have Agreed to Ad-
vance Wages of All Miners
to So.
LAB0RERS AND MUCKERS
TO REMAIN AT $3.50
Matter Has Been Under COnsid-
Grafton for Several Weeks
by Both Sides.

EUREKA, July 26.-The Tribune CORE
spondent was tonight informed that the
mine owners OF Eureka and. In fact, the
entire Tintic district, have agreed 10 ad-
vance the wages OF all miners 10 81 per
day, commencing August l. Before the
majority OF the mines have been paying
the machine men SO and helpers $3.50.
and now everyone working on tho ma
chimes viii be paid on uniform scale OF
So The wages OF the laborers and the
muckers Will remain the same, $3.50 per
day.
A few weeks ago petitions asking for
this advance were circulated In every
mine Of any Importance In the camp, and
In almost every one OF these the petitions
were unanimously signed. 1t was gen.
orally understood that unless the COM
panies granted the increase and adopted
the uniform scale for miners there would
be a general strike on the FIRST OF next
month. This uncertain feeling tending 70
the adjustment OF the difficulty kept the
union miners away from the district,
and as a result there has been a scarcity
OF labor here.
The statement that the matter has been
settled In a satisfactory manner TO ell
concerned will be good news to the busi-
ness men Of Tintic. whose interests have
been hindered to certain extent on &C.
count OF the strike rumors which have
been circulated of late.
