RAISE PRICES TO
MEET COAL COST
British Manufacturers Must
Pay $1.50 More Per Ton
For Fuel
London, Aug. 1. —Surprised and
shocked by the government an
nouncement that coal is to cost the
consumer $1.60 more a ton because
of increased wages, shorter hours
for the miner, and steadily decreased
production per workman, British
manufacturers have been calculat
ing just how much they must add
to the prlco of their product in
order to maintain the accustomed
level of profit.
The Federation of British Indus
tries, representing well over $5,-
000,000,000 Invested capital, has
made public the following statement
of increased prices under the new
coal charge:
Engineering products, three to 10
per cent; textiles, three to four per
cent; metal trades, two to six per
cent; chemicals, 10 per cent; gas
and electricity, 10 per cent; paper,
per ton, $2; salt, per ton, $1.50.
In the building trades increased
, costs will be.
For steel, $0 per ton; bricks, five
per cent; glass, live to 10 per cent;
drain pipe, $1.50 per ton.
Tho steel trade took immediate
: alarm, and when the announcement
was made promptly withdrew all
■ quotations, pointing out the difficult
i position in which the industry was
placed as alreudy British manufac
turers wore being undersold in tho
home market by American steel
makers.
Grimsby fishermen also made their
position very plain, declaring they
could not operate their steam traw
lers with the new priced coal and
sell fish at old prices.
In Manchester it was pointed out
that the smaller industries would be
tho most seriously affected, while
leading coal operators said they
would receive nothing from the ad
vance.
The public generally also took
alarm, when it was pointed out that
with coal at the new price it would
hnve to consent to increases in gas
prices that would make up a defi
ciency every year of some $36,000,-
Canadians Lost Million* in
Wages by Recent Strikes
Winnipeg, Man.. Aug. I.—Canadian
workingmen lost $7,000,000 in wages
in June and slightly more than half
that amount in the preceding month
according to estimates.
The Winnipeg strike alone cost
the workingmen several million dol
lars. Board of Trade officials be
lieve the economic loss to merchants
manufacturers and the public was at
least 100 per cent, more than the
labor loss.
In June, the eighty strikes in Can
ada involved 87,917 men, women and
children. The official estimate shows
a loss of about 1,445,021 working
days. The average wage involved in
the Winnipeg strike was about $5 a
day.
In May there were 84 strikes in
volving 77,688 workers who lost 893,-
815 working days.
Living in Canada
Continues to Soar
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. I.—Despite gov
ernment efforts to reduce prices, the ■
cost of living in Canada continues |
to soar. The high prices were cited j
as the cause of unrest in every dis- |
trict, according to investigation of,
the recent strikes throughout the
Dominion.
Government officials stated that 1
the high cost of necessities was j
responsible for the dissatisfaction of
thousands of conservative working
men. They also asserted this subject
gave radicals an excuse for trying
out more ambitious schemes.
Tho average cost of 29 staple
foods in sixty cities in June was
$13.72, as compared with $13.53 in
May, official statistics show. In June
1914, the average was $7.35.

Burlington, N. J., Aug. 1.—"I feel
I am not fitted to be a Solon and It
la my belief that any service man
who tries because of his war record
to be elected to an office for which
ho has not the qualifications makes
a rcprettable mistake. Wo did not
go into the war to win personal
political preferment."
This is the comment of Major
Edward B. Stone, South Jersey's most
famous war hero, who led the Old
Third Regiment in its charge against
the Prussian Guard in the Argonne,
setting at rest reports that politi
cians have been booming him for a
State Senatorshtp. The Major's re
fusal of the opportunity to- sit with
the lawmakers defeats the efforts of
both parties to land him as a candi
date.
Although nominally a Republican
both parties in the county attempted
to get him as a candidate for sheriff
next year, almost as soon as he re
turned from the war and there is
a little doubt but that he can have
a double nomination for that office
without opposition if he wants it. a
