when one automobile Is run from here
to Crystal Falls in 10 minutes, as was
done recently, that the county road
will not hold up very long under such
strain. 1t is further stated that one OF
or- atomobilists Is willing TO bet that
can cover the distance in 10 minutes
1t is high time an example was made
OF such adventures
They are not only wearing ont the
road but they are endangering the
lives OF others who may also be on the
road. Several narrow escapes have
already been reported. and IL is really
surprising that serious accidents have
not already taken place. II arrests and
fiues will not prevent fast driving
then the offenders should be refused
the use OF the road

should be taken, and Taxpayer is
right in entering protest. The
county officials should begin vigor-
GUS campaign against reckless running
of automobiles, 1t rs high time a stoT

tain of the 23rd which should be read
by all. 1t is in line with what The
Herald has claimed from the start
that the coal strike was brought
about by outside agiaators. We have
held that Colorado miners and their
recognized heads are able to settle
their own labor troubles. If it's a
matter of wages, and 1t is shown
they are inadequate and conditions
unbearable, then it is the duty that
more money be paid and conditions
improved. In fact, all of the demands
of the miners except two are cover
ed by Colorado laws and if the laws
have not been enforced then it is hte
fault of the state officials who have
been NEGLIGENT and on them may rest
the responsibility of the costly strike.
The two demands made by the miners
outside Of those controlled by law are
more wages and recognition of the
union. The question of recognition is
a personal matter and solely optional
with the operators, but the matter of
wages is one in which the general
public is vitality interested. If not
consistent with other coal fields and
below what they should be, then no
time should have been lost in making
the proper adjustment. If the price
paid for mining is too low per ton,
advance the wage 10 or 90 cents and
if necessary increase the price Of coai
accordingly All corporations enjoy
ing the protection of the state should
be willing to abide by the wishes of
the people. Let Coloradoans decide
what they want and leave agitators

posed by the granting of 7 per cent
advance in wages to conductors and
trainmen in the territory from Chi
cago to the Atlantic ocean, according
to an analysis of the wage award
made by the bureau of railway news
and statistics. The amount thus to
be lost annually from the net reve-
nues Of the roads operating in this
portion of New York, Pennsylvania.
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
will aggregate close to S3,600,000,
with no compensating return in oper-
ating earnings. Had the full de-
mands of the conductors and train
men been met instead of awarding the
customary compromise whenever ar
bitration between railroads and their
employees is followed the annual loss
to these roads alone would have reach
ed s10,8O0,OOO.
Railroads in the so-called third
group, stretching from Chicago to
Buffalo and Pittsburg, are the sec
ond hardest hit, with practically 27
per cent of the loss falling upon them,
aggregating slightly over $1.600.00O
annually against s4,S00,000 had the
full demands of the men been met.
New England roads, least able of all
as group to stand any increase in
operating expenses, will feel about
13 per cent of the increase in wages
for the two classes of labor, their ag-
gregate loss being slightly over $780,
900 annually, against $2,400,000 had
the full demands been met.
Gross earnings for the opening
week of November of all United
States railroads so far reporting to
Dun's Review continue to make a
somewhat unfavorable comparison
with year ago, the total amounting
to s5,O69,92s. a decrease of 2 per
cent as contrasted with the earnings
of the same roads for the correspond
ing period last year While the lrsses
as a rule appear on the western and
southern roads, on some systems in
that section they seem to be some
what less pronounced than for the
first week in the preceding month.
