PROBE Usage FIELDS
Industrial Court VIII Look Into
Trouble OF Miners.


Members of the court of industrial
relations will probe working eondi-
lions. wages and action of operators
in closing mines in the Usage fields
This course was announced today fol-
lowing complaints from miners in the
Usage fields.
Late in January mines which had
been open in the Usage county district
were closed. according to a letter from
Henry Collier of Usage City. In his
letter Collier stated that the miners in
the field had suspended judgment on
the labor court pending its early
action. Failure to intervene in the
Usage case. Collier said in letter adj
dressed to Governor Allen, would con-
firm the feeling of many workers that
tility rather than friendship to the
labor interests.
Governor Allen referred the Collier
letter to the industrial court. In a
letter mailed to Collier today. Judge
W. L. Higgins, presiding judge of the
court stated that the new tribunal
will go into the Usage controversy at
an early date. 1t will first finish its
investigation of the Crawford and
Cherokee county fields. This investi-
cation will start March 8.
Golfers letter asserts that workers
in the Usage field have been denied
employment thru the closing of the
mines. He points to conferences with
Governor Allen last fall and recalls
promises of state aid. A mine in
which Collier is employed has already
been closed and he states that other
men are being thrown out of employ
ment in spite of the demand for in
creased production.

CRIPPLE CREEK SHORT
LINE CEASES TO ACT

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, June
1a.-Famed the world over for the
scenic wonders along its mountainous
route, the Cripple Creek Short Line
for years drew tourists TO this state,
but now the last train has turned into
the roundhouse and the road has
ceased functioning. a portion of II
may be opened July l to run tourist
specials, however, if plans of the re-
ceivcr matcrialzc.
The last train in the regular service
completed it's run early in the even
ing of May II. Permission to cancel
service was granted by n United
States district court and the only pos
sibility of an order 70 resume rests
with the utilities commission of the
state However that body has SHOWN
no inclination in that direction despite
the fact that an action has been start
ed to do away with the order from the
federal court If that is accomplish
ed, it is said q similar order win be
given by the utilities board.
The Short Line ceased two years
during the war because of bridge
which had been destroyed. After a
receiver was appointed a little more
than a year ago, repairs were made
and business resumed. The line was
successful for time.
Ore shipments nave always provid-
ed much of the financial support of
the road. but there have dwindled
lately. Miners say that the cost of
production has reduced the output
