Not Giuen

Especial TO The Sentinel.
Denver, Jan. 12.-The old organ
ization of the state supreme court
was broken today without any decis-
ion being handed down in the Dem
Yer saloon eases which involves the
constiutionality of the state local OPP
ton law. The republican court side
tracked the issue and now put il up
TO the democratic majority of the
court. The decision has been ex-
pectcd for months.
The state senate met 1T 10: 10 this
morning and was in session but IA
short time by II vote of rs To II il
refused to consider the vacancy OPP
pointments of the retiring governor.
The house met at 1O::S0 and in its
thirty minute session 30 bills were
introduced and the first bill of the
session is the bank guaranty bill pre-
pared by EN-Gov. Thomas.
William Weiser of Mesa county, is

With Union Recognized
And Contract Restored
1000 Men Back at Work
Grand Junction Strikers Rejoice Over the Outcome and
Declare They Have Won Big Victory

IA. or within three weeks after that
date; give the men their old contract,
contract that was perfectly salts
factory to the men: keep the wage
scale the same as under the old con-
tract; agree to treat with the men
through grievance committees when
ever such grievance committees find
it necessary to confer with the COM
pany officials, and to properly recog-
nize the organizations to which the
shopmen belong.
Only one change is made under the
terms of the settlement that differs
from the regulations that prevailed
under the old contract-all rounG-
house men will be required to put in
q day of 10 hours and straight time
for overtime, while all hack-shopmen
will work under the old 9-hour-day' )
scale and get time and half for
overtime. Under the old contract
the 9-hour day was in vogue for all
of the men This. it is reported, is
the only concession that the striking
men made to the company in bring
ing about settlement. The shop
rules are practically the same as the
Cid rules. The contract and set OF
rules were worked out in detail at the
conference which ended yesterday in
Denver
as a result of the settlement, for
the first time in ten months union
men will go to work in the Rio
Grande shops. the strilSebreakers and
non-union men will be let out and
nearly all of the old employes-in
fact. all that desire to go back to
work-will again enter the service
There is no longer any strike on
the Rio Grande system of any nature.
There is no question but what the
settlement will be better for both the
men and the road, and the road and
everything will soon be running as
smoothly as of old in the shops and
roundhouses, and conditions in the
shops and roundhouses will be better
than they have been in many months.
In many ways the strike has been
a peculiar one. The men who went
out ten months ago declare that they
did not strike for higher wages. They
struck to maintain the standing of
their union organization and to force
the railroad company to respect its

the shopmen on the Denver & Rio
Grande system---a strike that has at
tracted attention throughout the
country and has many peculiar feat

ment was reached yesterday in Den

between the officials of the road and
of the labor organizations
The men go back to work ON Jan

is satisfactory all around. The strik-
ing shopmen have won out in their
important contentious, namely: That
the road must recognize the labor
unions. and that the road has no
right to arbitrarily break the con-
tracts with it's shopmen. Over 1000
men are affected.
The announcement that the hard
fought and long-drawn strike has
been settled will be hailed with pleas

its effects.
The announcement of the settle
ment of the strike reached the many
striking shopmen in this city last
night, and, as their organizations had
won out in it's main contentious, the
men We're naturally very jubilant
over the outcome and there is much
rejoicing all along the line.
Every now and then throughout

diversion of the public FUNDS by Pres
ident Roosevelt and William H. Taft.
while the latter was secretary of war.
to pay for an investigation by private
detectives in the Brownsville affair
was charged today by Senator Fora
ker in a speech delivered before the
senate.
The government use of private de-
tectives was characterized by Sena-
tor Foraker as "atrocious. shocking
and revolving.
This charge of Illegally diverting
$4,000 from the war fund of 3 mill
ion dollars was made by the senator
from Ohio in concluding his remarks
on certain legal phases of the cele-
brated Brownsville affair and the
reading of a number of afiidavlts
made by soldiers. whose testimony

of the men who did the shooting ana

particularly every statement OF I'M

tectives.'
Speaking of the 3-million-dollar
war fund. Senator Foraker said;
'Tt probably will be surprising IN
formation that the appropriation that
was made ten years ago at the close

VETERAN CASE UP IN
THE DISTRICT
COURT
Plaintiff Opens Evidence in
Third Trial of the Di Palma
Ruppe-Banett Litigation,

The veteran and now famous suit
Of hi Palma, Ruppe. It al, VS.. Joseph
Barnett and j. a. Weinman, now be-
ing tried for the third time in the
Bernalillo county district court, got
well under way yesterday when the
plaintiff finished with two of its wit
nesses. The case resulted from the
caving in of the old adobe building
on Central avenue, hen occupied by
the Ruppc drug store, while eXcava-
ton was being made for the Barnett
building, which now occupies the
orner of Central avenue ne Second
street. The stock Of the Ruppe store
was practically destroyed by the cave
in and suit was brought against Bar
nett ana Weinman on the ground that
carelessness in making the excavation
caused the cave-in. The suit has
twice been to the territorial supreme
and, as often remanded for re-
trial. II is confidently believed that
a conclusion of the case will be had
in this trial. The Ruppe interests are
represented by A. b. McMillen and
Marion and Wood. Neil j. Field APP
pears for Barnett and +. A. Mann for
Woinman.
The first witness introduced yester-
day was Pitt Ross, who was caused
by the plaintiff to testify to the care
taken in making the excavation. Mr..
Ross practically repeated his testi-
rnony given at former trials, but was
subjected to a sever cross-examina-
ton by counsel for the defense in an
afTn1.t T., .halyn th,. ,,.tf,,,,,~ I,~,A,
McCorriston, cement contractor, was
the next witness called. Tho plaintin
will call a number of contractors and
others in an effort to show that the
excavation was Improperly done and
il is likely hat the testimony will oc-
three or four days.
There was no other business before
the court yesterday and because OF
the storm the court house was prac- |
tically deserted during the day save |
for the employees who had to make
the journey to and fro.
