COAL PRICES IN
 CHICAGO SLASHED AT A BIG RATE

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The Consum CTS company, the largest retail coal dealers in the world, announced slash of $1 to $1.S0 on soft coal effective immediately. This was the result of President Wilson's price fixing order. Other dealers promise similar cuts. The decrease in Chi cagos annual fuel bill will he fully $3O, 100000.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. z2.--IIaving determined the prices chargeable for coal at the mines throughout the country, President Wilson will soon fix the prices chargeable by the mid dlemen and retailers. The President will probably abandon the Federal Trade Commission proposal to commander the output of the mines and will sell the product to the public at prices fixed by the trade commission. The commission has already fixed the price in the large producing regions at the mine slightly over $2 a ton.

Manaqer Thane Makes a Statement Regarding Working Conditions
 at the Big Mine. MEN BETTER OFF HERE Wages and the General Conditions Better in North Than Anywhere
 in the States.

"The only question confronting the Alaska Gastineau company is that of labor," said MT. Thane, manager of the company this morn ing.
 "If we can keep enough labor here to move the ore from the mine to the mills, we can keep the mills going at their present capacity for year and half, without breaking a pound more of ore at the mine.
 "Of course, I want it understood that we don't want to draw on our reserve, but we want to break new ore as we use it. If we had the labor here at the present time we would be running ten thousand tons of ore day through the mills"
 MT Thane. stated this morning that the Gastineau company wants 200 more men and can use possibly 25O more than they are employing at the present time.
 Married men of steady habits are preferred. Men with experience are sure of a job at any time, and green men of the right kind can be used as they will be broken in to do the work required of them. MT. Thane also stated that the condition of the steady workers here, taken as a whole is far sup erior to those of any mining camp in the United States, barring none.
 Living conditions here are bet ter and we pay the highest all the year around wages. The wages are smaller at present than are be- ing paid in the copper camps, but the high wages there are due to abnormal conditions and this con- dition is merely temporary at the best" said MT. Thane.
 Living conditions in Juneau are better than those of any camp in the United States. There are plenty of houses here where the rents are reasonable The stores are equal to those found in any place, and one is not forced to trade with company store, but is free to trade any place. The amusements are ample and varied, the picture houses getting the very latest pro- auctions and other amusements are
