Here is one: In 1908 L guilt sold at the mill for G2 1-2 cen was sold to the consumer Tor SL lu 1910 the mill increased tho price 70 70 cents and the price 10 the cousumer went up to SL5U."
 The board argues, however, that in some cases a reduction in the mi price might make no reduction fir the consumer A study of cOmparn- i've statistics seems Go show that c English consumer buys cheaper be- cause there is less profit belWean tfe mill men and the retailer.
 In determining costs the board di7 not take into consideration the item or interest upon investments, but ~ @ cost figures do allow for depreciatio1.
 Taking all the mills covered by tfa investigation in each country, the e was wider variations in the Amer - can costs secured than in Lhe Engli b costs, due partly 10 the fact that the English mills were all in the Man chester district where wages and other conditions are well standardized while the American costs were taken from mills covering a much wider area, with much greater differences in labor and other conditions,
 Some American Mills Poor. Another reason for the wider varla- tion in the American costs is that the English mills for whGh figures were secured are all of a modern and efl- cient type, while some of the Ameri- can mills included were old and of low efficiency"
 Discussing duties in their relation to costs of weaving and finishing, the report says. The ratio of the duty to the conversion cost bears little rela-
 ton to the ratio of the duty to the l foreign market value. Thus in sonie cases, duties which are less than 30 per cent ad valorem will be one and a
 half tunes the total American conver- sion cost while in other cases duties of nearly 60 per cent ad valoreIu will be only three-fourths of the
 American conversion costa In thd i greater number of cases. the duties a.o ! greater than the total domestic cos la ! of spinning and weaving.

MINIMUM WAGE BILL
 PASSED BY PARLIAMENT
British Coal Miners, However, Are
 Still Dissatisfied

London, March 27.-A fateful day in the history of British trade struggles came to d close early this morning with the passage through parliament by 8 large majority of the bill estab- fishing in legislation the principle of minimum wage in the countrys most important industry.
 Wins by Vote of 213 to 4s.
 The minimum wage bill passed it's reading in the house of commons by a vote of 213 to 48 amid a scene of great excitement. The house of lords re- assembled at 2.50 o'clock to receive the bill, and on motion of Lord Herschell it passed it's first reading,
 Premier Asqulth Chsersd.
 Premier AsQuith on leaving the house of commons was loudly cheered by all the members.
 Miners Stiff Dissatisfied.
 After a strike lasting nearly month and involving the whole coal country in untold distress, the miners have thus secured recognition of the princi- pie which they set out tO obtain But they are still dissatisfied because the bill does not specify the amount of the minimum wage. Thus there is no prospect of any immediate settlement of the strike.
 To Fight for Five Shiilings.
 The miners leaders declare their de- termination to keep up the strike until they have secured guarantees of a minimum wage of five shillings (Si25) for men. or until the district boards as provided by the btIl arrange acceptable terms.
