War, Ink and Paper

With the publishing houses al
ready harassed over the rising
prices and diminishing supplies
of water paper, the makers of
printing ink now serve notice Of
the coming of possible trouble
from that source. The embargo
on carbon black may stop the
supply of ink. They maintain
that the embargo might be pro-
perly maintained on carbon black
in carloads in cases, because
these are largely for export, but
should be removed from carloads
in paper sack, because none of
this is for export. The ink manu-
facturers go SO far as to. say that
unless the condition is remedied
the metropolitan press will not
be able to obtain ink with which
to print their papers" Imagine
New York without newspapers!
But the paper problem is not a
prospective one. 1t is present
and serious. On some Qualities
no prices are offered. On all
kinds of paper quotations have
advanced from so to 100 per cent.
This is on account of the Difficult
ty in obtaining materials
which go into the manufacture
and finish of paper. Dyestuffs,
for instance, have advanced to
1000 per cent, and not obtain
able at that. Alum has advan ED
$50 per cent and sizing 200 per
cent. A paper man, writing in
explanation to The New York
Journal of Commerce, says that
manufacturers who are not
bound by contract can obtain
virtually any price they ask.
They are in command of the
market. The demand for paper
exists and must be filled so far
as is possible. Quotations change
from day to day, and houses
that take orders frequently stip-
ulate that they will not guarantee
to deliver all that is called for.
Many refuse to quote any prices.
while some have been forced to
close down because of lack of
raw materials. These assertions
were made by the manufacturers
themselves. In explanation of
the increased domestic require
nent it was pointed out that this
S a natural consequence of gen.
,ral business prosperity. Pur-
.hases have increased; more
paper is needed. News
papers report a growing circula-
ion; more paper is used. Cor
is a feature of ex-
banding business; more paper is
Used. Books are in high demand;
more paper is used. No figures

consumption in this country is, it !

NEW YORK. Aug. l2,-Lettors con-
tinuO to reach tho Herald from bird
lovers discussing the probable iden-
tity of the three birds who recently
made their home at the southern CX-

SUIT READY FOR
ITS SEVENTH
TRIAL
Few Feet of Space is Basis Of
Long Drawn Out Legal
Battle.

MACON, Mo, Aug. l2.-By its ac-
ton this week in granting appellants
application for a writ OF c%ertiorarl
the Missouri supreme court has paved
the way for the seventh trial Of the
case Of Catherine Goodc, u widow,
against the Central Coal and Coke
Company, for the death Of her hus-
band.
This action, which was started in
1911, reveals in a startling way the
elasticity OF the law. Every step taxi
en- by defendant to avoid the settle
ment OF the case was strictly within
the code as laid down for achieving
justice between man and man.
Mrs. Goode is the widow Of James
v. Goodo, who was a miner in Col
liery no. 81, in the Beyicy District,
Macon county. He was, in company
with some other miners, engaged in
drawing pillars"-taking out the
stubs Of coal between rooms. At noon
OF March q, 1911, Goode and his COM
panions went to one side Of the en-
try to eat their lunch. A tremendous
rock fell from the roof, lighting among
the miners. Goode was killed Instant
". Some Of the others we're badly
injured. The company refused pay
ment on the ground that Goode was
killed in his working place, where
the rule Of law required him to look
after thereof. The p~laintiif contended
her husband was killed some distance
from his working place, where the
company was responsible for the roof.
Just two or three feet of space covers
the whole ground OF the contrOYer-
sy.
Three Juries Find for Plaintiff.
Three times juries found for Mrs,
Goode in the circuit court. Two jur-
les gave her a verdict Of $4,000, and
at the last trial in September, 1914,
Mrs. Goode was awarded $4,000 by the
Jury. She sued for 100000.
Twice the Kansas City court OF ap-
peals reversed the case and sent 1t
hack to Macon county for rOtrial. But
in October, 1915, the appellate court

cas- was at last at an end, The de-
tense, however, applied to the supreme
court for a writ Of c%ertiorarl in order
that the record of the appellate court
might be reviewed, and this applica-
ton has been granted. Under the
state Of the docket in the supreme
court it may take from two to three
years to reach a decision in that
tribunal.
Mrs, Goode is about S6 years old. She
was left with five small children whom
she has tried to support by washing.
During the long litigation debts have
grown steadily. She owes one gro
