Coal bills are said to be higher at the
mills this winter than in a long time.
The labor employed gets higher pay,
and the men are said to contemplate
further demands. According to the
paper manufacturers the consumers are
thus largely responsible for adding to
the cost and so must foot the bills.
The grades that will feel the maxi
mum advances, it is said, are those
which are sold in the greatest quanti-
ties and which range at wholesale from
5 to 20 cents a pound.
Consumers Of printing will begin to
pay the higher prices within a few
weeks. The. paper jobber will tack the
increase on his bill to the retailer and
the printer will add to the cost of BUSH
