BUN, FRANDSEN BRICK The Denver and Rio Grande Western COMPANY 3T dif- ferently from the ordinary formal motion, Baldwin Kobertsuii, for the Jeremy Fuel and Grain eoiiiNtny and number of other retail coal dealers and large consumers of eoal in Salt Lake City, last Saturday petitioned the public utilities commission for a rehearing of their ease against the old Denver and Kio Grande. The eoal consumers and dealers sued for recents a ton, apbate of thirty-fiv-a proximately, on all eoal bought by them from Carlmii county operators from March 7, 1917, when the utilities law went into effect, until February of the following year. At the latter date the railroad altered the worling of aouie of its schedule so that the rate of $1.25 a ton on eoal shipped to Miint on the Salt Lake, Garfield and Western became clearly a projxirtional rate. Since Salt Lake City is a iwint on that line and since the rate from the Carbon district mines to Salt Lake City waa regularly quoted in the schedules at $1.60, the dealers claimed they were entitled to a refund of the difference, inee the lower of the two quoted rates should control, liobertson alleges as bit first ground for a motion for a rehearing that evidence waa taken in thia proceeding and the matter submitted to the commission for a decision of approximately two and a half yean prior to this derision, daring which time tha evidence must have been forgotten by this honorable commission, inasmuch as it is not discussed or reflected in the decision.' The attorney also resiwetfully aaks the commission whether Commissioner Joshua Greenwood ronrurs with the concurring opinion written by Commissioner Warren Stout nour. The latter ronrurs with his colleague in the interpretation of the law, but at the same time expresses the opinion that the reasonable rate on eoal at that time would have been $ L25 instead of $1.60, The attorney says that if the two commissioners should concur in this it will enable him to take the matter tothe supreme court of Utah on a point of law involved. Only two of the present commissioners heard thexase, which was submitted while Ilenry II. Blood was a member of the commission. The three eommsiaionera larked but a day r two of reaching a complete agreement and rendering a majority decision when A. It.

Contrary to the general belief, the soft eoal mines have not resumed oMnition on the grand scale hoped for. The treaty of Cleveland, signed this week by the warring eoal operators and their men, still leaves three hundred and fifty thousand men or thereabouts idle in the bituminous eoal fields. Less than 15 per cent of the countrys soft coal production signed the agreement. The other 85 per cent, with the exception of the n fields, is still on strike. To insure hand to mouth requirements it must increase at least two million tons more, and to prevent a serious abort age of soft eoal thia winter it should increase at least five million tons more Indiana and Illinois mines, as well as those idle in Central Pennsylvania, are expected to resume operations within ten days. The great producing Held in tha Pittsburg section ia not going to sign the wage agreement unless there ia a unanimous change of heart among its ofieratora.

Rail and coal troubles hit business the hardest blow during the present week. Every rejxrt coming to the national capital tells virtually the same story.
