COAL IS CHEAPER
THAN FOR YEARS
Competition in the Business
Has Served to Cut Down
the Prices

Anthracite coal Is cheaper now than
n ever has been for six or seven years,
al this time of the year. Last winter
and for several seasons before the
larger sizes brought 81 a ton. but this
year Il can be bought for from s6.l2 TO
$3.50 The former price is that % a
special grade handled by one local arm,
and Is considered good coal.
All the local coal dealers seem to be
well stocked, but as yet there has been
no prolonged cold weather spell. A cold
snap or two, however, viii greatly d.
minish the piles OF fuel now stored up.
The only fear the dealers have is a
scarcity OF cars. Barring this no
trouble or famine is expected.
The decrease In the prices this year
over previous winters Is due wholly to
the Increased competition IN the bust
ness. The wholesale prices az the
mines are the same. and consequently
the retailers profits are cut down. one
dealer said yesterday that there was
hardly any money IN the business al all
now.

viously TO his arrival in Minneapolis it
was announced in all the leading jour-
nails turnout the country that the trip
from this region to the Atlantic coast
was to be preliminary to a trip across
the ocean. According to- this theory,
the balloon Is to ascend into the cir

PLAN OPEN MEETINGS
Locals Prepare to Take Advantage Of

Many unions are making arrange
ments for open meetings to be held at
the time of the convention of the Amer

At that time nearly all the interna

representing all the unions, and this
will be taken advantage of to further
the work of organization.
= Among the locals which are plan
ming to get into line is the Tailors
union, whose organization committee
met at Alexander IS hall Thursday
evening and formulated plans for ex-
tending the lines of the organization.
Organizer Robinson, who has been de-
tailed to special work here in the inter-
esss of the custom tailors,. has not yet
put in an appearances, but lis expected
at any time, and when he does arrive
everything will be'ready for immediate

than the: daring professor incontinently

What a fall was there, my country

When the air was calm and serene,
why didn't the professor keep on as
