CERTAIN DRINKS OVER THE BARS
 MAY BE RAISED
CordiaIs and Scotch Whis. kies Will Probably Be Given a Boost
 in Prices

Prices on certain drinks are lia- ble to be advanced in Juneau For the past two weeks liquor dealers have been considering making this move but nothing was done until the liquor election had been decid- ed. It is understood that a meet ing of the liquor dealers is to be called for tonight and if the unani- nous opinion prevails, the price of all cordials, Scotch Whiskey and several other beverages will be raised owing to a shortage and the inability to secure even scanty sup plies.
 For the past several weeks one or two places have been charging 25 cents for Scotch whiskey, but no concerted effort had been made for a general raise. Even imported beer has taken a jump, although one or two places refuse to increase the price as demanded. As con- sequence local beer has been great ly in demand.

be no more precious 10 the few coal
barons Of the country than the lives
are to a million or more Of our
young manhood.
Likewise with the sugar trust
when the food administrators found
by a thorough investigation that
sugar could be sold at retail at 8
cents per pound, sugar began to
get scarcer and scarcer until only a
few pounds can be bought by each
family at O time when it can be
gotten at all. The price is also so
per cent higher than the Govern
ment said il could be sold. They
do not deny that there is plenty of
sugar, but get. it if you can and it
seems that we can't. While the
Government has made "a complete
success of the draft law, it seems
that so far as the coal and. sugar
men are concerned it is given the
horse laugh.
The Times lends its support in
every way to see that these traitors,
the men in control of the sugar and
coal situation are dealt with and
punished for their open defiance of
this Government, as is the drafted
men who oppose the consumption
law and tries to evade it. These
coal and sugar men who have so
boldly disobeyed the orders of the
Government, are today expressing
the people of this country, who are
the Government, worse than would
the German Kaiser before the war
if he had the same chance at us.

Gov. Cox, Of Ohio, has appealed
TO the Coal Administrator Harry
Garfield, that unless the people Of
Ohio get coal they will lose conf
dence in the Government" says the
daily papers. The only trouble
with the coal situation is that the
Government attempts to fix prices
for the coal operators and named a
price thought by many people to be
too high. Soon as this was done
coal began to get scarce and hard
to get at most places even at a high
er rate than prices fixed by the
Government. The coal operators
in effect seem to say, Mr.. Govern

people get the coal if they cam"
