High Prices and Security Face the Consumer

--Dealers Trcmcndous I°roi'i.is.

IN NEW YORK

F .\'i~;\\' Yomc, Dec. 11. 1030. Coal dcalers report that ii famine in anthracite coal now exists in this city, and that there is no prospect of this being broken, at least for several weeks. As a result ofthe scarcity, and of the arbitrary advance of 50 cents ri ton made immediately alle the coal strike, the cost of the consumer has _i jumped 75 cents per ton, as compared with last year. “Fancy” grades, which are always higher than ordinary stove coal, are higher now than ever.

The tremendous increase in prices -be-

trays the absolute command which the combination of coal operators has of the

miners 10 per cent., they added 50 cents it ton to the price of coal, thus forcing the public not only to pay the increase, but to put an additional profit of millions of dollars it year into the pockets of the ern- ploycrs. While the operators are paying $5,200,100 a year more to their employes than a year ago, it is estimated that they

The New York Sun is authority for

thc statement that English shipbuilders are contemplating transferring their busi- ness to the lfniterl States, where it is clained that shipbuilding and similar industries can be carried on more economically than in Great Britain. Their idea is not to establish new plans, but to buy out the entire business of some of the leading United States shipbuilding and steel enterprises. Betore paying extrava- gant prices for manufacturing plants in the lfnited States, British capitalists and manufactuers ought to exploit the i._possibilitles of Canada as a producer of iron, steel, coal and all the raw inatexials that arc necessary for shipbuilding and cognate industries. There is no reason I why shipbuilding should not be carried ` on as economically at Halifax or Sydney as at any place in thc United States. or, fer that matter, in the world. There is no reasonfwhy the lake ports of the lfnited States should be preferred to those of Canada for the location of the ship- building industry. If Vickers Sons 8: Maxam are really thinking of coming to Amerie, let them first of all look over the ground in Canada. But whether the ship- builders emigrate to America or not the Dominion Government ought to encour- ‘gage shipbuilding in this country.-Ex

“Mark all your baggage," that in the

injunction of every man in any way con- nected with the baggage department of railroads. It means so little to the pass- enger and, yet its fulfilment would relieve i much care on the part of the lttle army of men who toil hard from one and of the day to the other, and in hundreds of in- stances assist very materailly in facilita- ting matters when it comes to making close connections. as is often the case in tl l le ‘lays of railroadiug. A man who has mane the handling of baggagea study, said: '

"Why is it so many people do not have

some initial, name or _other identifying mark put on their trunks and valises? Simply because they have tbegreatest of faith in the railway baggage men. That is a compliment, but if they had any idea how greatly this would assist us in pre-_ venting baggage going _1.st-raythey might all possibly be induced to have some mark on their baggage.

“Telescopes dress suit cases and trunks

in these days nearly all look alike to the baggage clerksand handlers, anfl,it may be said, also to the owners. Hundreds of-in- stances could be cited of where two and often as many as five persons claimed the; same piece of baggage before the checks were put on. This generally results in a search through the boxes, which is an an-

noying procedure to the men as well as to] the passenger. My advice is: Mark your! baggage.”

are receiving $52,000,000 more from the public annually.

The shortance in the supply of conlat

a time of the year when the supply is usually ample is indirectly ii result of the strike. When production practically ceased, heavy calls were made upon the . reserve stocks in all parts of the country, and the reserve was practically absorbed. There was always a scarcity of the smaller l sizes of coal during the winter months, owning to thcincrcased diflicultiesof trims- portation and the additional demand brought about by colder weather.

Usually dealers obtain a reserve stock

coal would last all winter, though they expect that supplies will be easier to obtain later than they are now. There will probably be sharp fluctuations in prices -until the normal level ofthe supyly has been re-established. A severe blockade of lines of transportation would soon ex- haust the stocks now on hand.
