The bureau of labor at Washington publishes figures showing the increase in the wholesale price of anthracite coal ince 18JO. In that year chestnut sold at 13 35 per, ton; egg at $3.61 per ton; and stove at $8.71 per ton. Dur­ing the subsequent years prices ranged over a wide field. They were lowest m 1S&5 and highest fti 1913. This holds true of each of the differsnt grades of coal.

The increaat in the pries of chestnut has been greater than that of any other size. This Is explaiae by the rapidly-growing demand for chestnut as a kitchen fuel. The wholesale price in U H was $3.35; in 1913. $5.11. Egg ad­vanced in price from $3.61 to $5.0G; stove advanced from $3.71 to $5.06.

The extreme fluctuations in the Prices of these prepared sizes of anthracite coal occurred prior tfo 1898. Since that time there has been an upward move, ment, most rapid in the case of chestnut and least rapid in the case of stove coal. The movement is not the less effective in all

Previous to the combination of 1S9S, the price of hard coal was subject to very much the same extremes of varia­tion that may be noted in the price of soft coal Thus, chestnut coal was $3.33 in \m; $4.17 in 1S93; $2.98 in UM. The price of agg coal was $3.03 in i»95; $3.80 in 1*97; $3.37 in 1899. After 1898 fluctuations- disappear and the climb of prices for all grades is consistent and regular.

There has been a great deal of com­ment regarding the cost of coal pro­duction.

Many consumers believe that the miner receives a major part of the $9 which .hey are called upon to spend for a ton of coal. They have been told repeatedly by the coal companies that if the wages of the miners are raised. let us say 10 per cent, a corresponding increase must be made in the price of the product ki order to recompense the coal companies for the increased cost of production. As a matter of fact, the mining costs constitute a com­paratively small element in the price of a ton of coal.

, Company A, cited on page 97 of the Federal Report on Anthracite Prices, Is described as "one of those whose oper­ating costs have most largely increased during the period under consideration." In 1904. according to the figures, the cost of coal at the colliery was $2,046; in 1913, the cost was $2.21ft. In other word*, in 1912. the 8,671.013 toni of anthracite coal produced by this com­pany coat, on the average, $2 22 at the mine. The company reported in that vear a tstal of 27.463 employes. The $9-ton of stove coal purchased by the consumer in New York or Philadel­phia actually cost the coal mining com­pany a little over $2.

A number of items enter into the cost of coal. The actual mining, or cutting and loading coal, cost in 1913, 54 cents. Other labor costs inaide the mine in­cluded the" costs of maintaining road­

way, of ventilation, of repairs, of pumping, of "general expenses." "extraordinary expenses," "improve­ments." briiig the total labor cost up to $1,309. In short, the actual cost of mining the coal and getting it on the cars in the mine is only about two-fifths of the labor coat inside the mine. Supplies, machinery and miscellaneous costs "bring the cost of coal inside* the mine to $1,674. Outside the mine, the labor costs are $0,419 and the net out­side cost 8&S4L Inside and outside coats combined give the total labor •cost on the ton of coal at $L'i28, and for all costs $2,215.

The illustration is only one of a number of instances, declared In the report to be typical. Costs have risen Somewhat sli.ee the report was made —perhaps 20 or 25 per cent. The facts are startling enough, neverthe­less.

The consumer who pays $9 for a ton of stove coal distributes his money somewhat as fellows: * "Tom of I tava Coal. i l l .

Retailer, $2.SO. Freight, $2. Operator. $1.50 (mine profit, $1.80;

cost of selling, 10c) . Mine cost, $3 (mine upkeep, «0c.;

other labor, C1.60; mining. 70c) . The figures in the foregoing diagram

ar« necessarily estimates. They will vary from one mine to another and from one part of the anthracite field to an­other. They are typical rather than specific, yet they give a rough idea of the way in which the price paid for a ton of coal is divided among the dif­ferent parties at interest in its produc­tion.

The entire cost of the coal on the cars, ready fof shipment from the mines, is only one-third of the price paid by the consumer. Of this mine cost, only a quarter goes to the man who does the mining. All other labor costs, including Wis cost of keeping the mine in repair and the labor coats of improving the property, insofar as the mine can *Sa improved, are equal to $1.60.

The miner, including every form, of mine labor, g i t s only one-fourth of the amount paid by the consumer for the coal.

The mine operators and the railroads together get the lion's share of the money paid by the consumer for his

( coal. Mine profit, selling- cost: and rail­road freight rate cover $2.85, or two-ftftba of the price of the coal to the consumer. This, it should be remem­bered, Js secured. by the coal owners and carriers after the cost of keeping up the mines t except taxes. Interest and other fixed charges) have been

They must be placed in pasteboard coffins. They must be clothed in paper shrouds, or be bound m paper sneets.

No woolen, cotton, linen or similar material must be wasted in graves, while wooden, zinc, copper and other metal caskets are generally forbidden. Ordinary Artie lea Scarce.

An American woman, just leaving Ger­many, declares all ordinary articles are so scarce that a .sale of her worn-out kitchen utensils brought undreamed-of prices. Gorman women packing in her home sought an opportunity to buy things families usually throw away in moving. They fetched fancy sums.

The woman Bays the coal shortage is far mors acute than outsiders im­agine. This is not due to lack of coal, but to the labor shortage plus trans­portation dimculties. The scarcity of cars caused the military officials to reduce trains to little more than suf­ficient for the army's needs. The roll­ing stock is' in frightful disrepair.

Silver and nickel have been de-L onetized. AH gold, including jewelry,

I formerly requested, is now demanded by the government in order to keep up gold coins and prevent too rapid de­cline in the value of paper money. Masses Are Rest ive ,

The people no longer expect victory, the woman declares. The best they hope for is the exhaustion of the .allies before Germany is compelled to sue for peace. The masses have been told so often that an offensive would bring im­mediate peace, they ax© beginning to feel duped and angry.

I understand that President Wilsons speech made a deep impression m Germany, and probably will bear future fruit.

On the most reliable -authority I learn that the kafser himself openly declared Wilson's terms were reason­able enough to form the basis for nego­tiations.

Wilhelm, however. Is without influ­ence. I am told that, while openly op­posed to the extremes to which the wax party is leading the empire, he does not murmur, as Hindenburg and Ludendorff axe his absolute masters. P e o p l e G o i n g B a r e f o o t e d .

VAN LOUVER. B. C , Feb, 14.-The British Columbia Federation of Labor has be a holding its annual convention in this city, with one of the fullest del-efstiot s from labor organisations throug out the state that has attended such a gathering in several years.

The nosl important work, in the es­timate i of the delegates, was that the federa ion form a distinct working class c gsnization in politics and make their . wn party. There was quite a discus ton on this subject before the conve cion decided in the affirmative.

WhiJ no action was taken beyond going n record as to its unalterable opposi ton to the importation of coolie labor, his question was deliberated and debat i upon for almost a whole day.

The elegates were quits eager to de-nounc the plans which have just been expos !, and the alternative suggestion

The c 'nvention denounced the action of th so court officials and resolved again anything of the kind. This resoli ion was speeded through at the requcf t of the Ottawa delegate who at-

WHTTE GOODS WORKERS WIN VICTORY WITHOUT A STRIKE.

The White Goods Workers* union has gained another victory. On the eve of a. general strike of 10,000 girls, after all preparations had been completed and strike sanction obtained from the meeting of the general executive board of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union in Toledo, the bosses gave in.

the piece workers will receive a 5 per cent increase in prices. At the'end of six months, the union will enter into negotiations with the Cotton Garment Manufactur­ers* association for an entirely new agreement.

"The settlement at this time, without the hardship of a strike tor a substan­tial increase, is satisfactory to me, and I think the girls will approve of it," said Samuel Shore, manager of the union, today.

The girls sre called to Forward hall tonight, where a meeting will be held to give the details of the settlement The announcement came as a surprise to many working girls, because they were expecting to go on strike in a day or two.

The white 'goods workers have been working under a two-year agreement which granted t l increase each year. The high prices have overtaken the wages however, so many of the girls were unable to make a living wage on the scale set as a standard.

The union appealed to the manufac­turers, but they said that they would make no concession, and that the agreement had to hold until March, WW, the date set in the contract. After the union had been refused twice, the strike preparations began. The em­ployers did not even consent to a con­ference on the subject.

Tho impetus for a settlement wsa given about a week ago, when the firm of Dudley C. Sicher. the largest whit* goods house in the city, employing 1.000 girls, granted a 10 per cent in­crease independently from the associa­tion.

The success of the white goods work­ers in gaining their demands without the suffering and expense of a strike will greatly increase their prestige among the unorganised workers, and a 100 per cent organisation from now on probably will be maintained.

Referring to his bill creating a public university in New York city, Waldmau said: i

"Higher education in New York is in the hands of private corporations char­tered by the board of regents. There is a great danger in permitting private in­terests through heavy endowments to control this important branch of our educational system. Education is a public funcition, and the state itself should discharge It. When the agita­tion for free public schools was carried en about a century ago and that for free high schools carried on about half a century ago there also existed private schools under the control of organisa­tions and private interests.

"The people have seen the wisdom of public enterprise in elementary and sec­ondary education. Inasmuch as higher and professional education if becoming all pervading, it is high time that the state establish the principle of tree pub­lic education in all its branches. The College of the City of New York is now-performing a splendid service, but it does not meet tho full need of the com-1 munlty. It must be transformed into a university, with courses in proiMr-

By L. HARPER MSECH. WASHINGTON. Fab. 14—Arrival of

the delegation of British wevkingmen, headwl by W, A. Appleton, secretary of the General Federation of British Trade unions, marks the beginning of an effort to form a working interna­tional labor organisation in Jhe coun­tries of the western allies.

The visit is on* result of the Inter­allied Labor conference in London last September, in which the American Federation of Labor was represented by James Lord of the miners and John Golden of th* textile workers.

While the organisations represented are all of the practical, flighting type of labor union as distinguished from the mom political organisations, their aims are as far ranching and revolutionary as any. The plan adopted at th* Inter­allied conference will, if .̂ put into, exe­cution, bring about internationalism after the war.

When tho war ends countries wi and economi bor leaders seek
