Coal Scarce Again
The weather man and coal dealers
are getting in" worse and worse
Since Monday siXty-two cars of coal
have come into the city and another
trainload was expected yesterday, but
the miry roads are impossible to heavy
coal wagons and outlying customers
are forced to do without coal.
To add to the gravity of the situa-
tion the gas company is failing dis
mally to supply the gaseous fuel on
which many people depend. In some
places the pressure was so weak the
gas would not even retain a flame, and
it was impossible to cook or keep warm
with the amount supplied.
Coal dealers in some places are goug-
ing their customers by giving short
weight. Sacks supposed to contain 100
pounds of the much-sought fuel are
sold with scarcely seventy-fve pounds
to the sack. The price is kept the
same, 75 cents sack, while scarcely
three-fourths the quantity supposed to
be given for the money is supplied.

Security for Actors.

From the Stage
There is little or no purpose in strlv-
ing for a minimum wage unless reason
able security of engagement Is also
aimed at Theatrical traffic is conducted
by runs and tours. and actors should at
the least be engaged on the same basis.
Those cases where managers tour all the
year round. or for an indefinite time,
could be met by a minimum period of
engagement The continual changing of
casts that goes on in touring companies
is particularly bad for the provincial
stage.
