GO BACK TO COAL.
Topeka Manufacturers VIII Take Out
Natural Gas.

Keeping up the price OF natural gas
to Topeka manufacturers is already
having the effect of forcing their re-
turn to the use of coal The end of the
strike is making this possible. Adjoin-
ing towns which have ten cent gas will
have an advantage but that can't be
helped. 1t is the trusts way of doing
things and even President Holiday of
the gas company can not explain it.
The Mutual Ice company has been
using gas ever since natural gas was
turned on in the city. They have found
1t to be more expensive than coal and
viii shortly discontinue gas and return
to coal unless the company reduces the
rate to ten cents.
Mr.. R. F. Hodgins of the Topeka Cold
Storage, Ice and Fuel company said
that he did not think it would be very
long till all the manufacturers would
be using coal. I'VE are now able" con-
tinued Mr.. Hodgins. ito buy coal at
such a rate that it is much cheaper to
use than gas at the old fifteen cent rate,
and in thirty days coal win be much
cheaper than it is now
Mr.. A. A. Ripley of the Topeka Steam
Laundry hasc already substituted coal
for gas. He has found that gas at fif-
teen cents is too expensive to make it of
any advantage
