WHAT FARM LABOR" MEANS

On December 20, 1917, congress
passed an Act providing for a leave
of absence of entrymen who filed
homesteads prior to that date, in order
that they might perform farm labor
else where than on the claim. As
nothing about the words "farm labor
were used in the bill a question arose
as to what labor that included. and the
Register of the United States land
office, Montrose, wrote the Commits
sioner asking for ruling as to what
these two words farm labor" really
included.
The Commissioner refused to give
a really definite definition unless re-
quIred to pass on a specific case, but
did say that in addition TO the
ordinary labor of putting in, irrigat-
ing, and harvesting crops that labor
performed in stock raising, herding
cattle, sheep herding, and COW punch
ing, would be considered as farm la
Dor and within the meaning of the
Act.

COAL PRICES ARE BEING
ADJUSTED FOR COUNTY

AS forcasted in the News-C Champion
last week, the price of coal will be
higher in Gunnison next year thru
latest action of the fuel administra-
tion. There is however, a reduction
for delivery during the spring months
because first of a SO cent fiat reduc-
tion at the mines and then q further
sliding reduction of 70 cents in April,
so cents in May, 35 cents in June, Is
cents in July. This makes the price
at the mines for April s3.25 instead
of s4.45. However, the fuel admin
istration has advised that the deal
ers allowance for expenses and pro-
fit shall be not more than $3.50 in
stead of the SIPS which has been
charged here for two years. The Gun
nison coal dealers asked that this be
set at so and Messrs. P. T. Smith and
j. j. Miller, who are the fuel admins
tration committee for this county have
the matter under advisement and will
probably grant the 50 rate. The deal
ers assert that at s1.25 they are un-
able to make any profit at all.
If the 50 rate is granted the price
of coal for April will be S3.25, plus
so cents freight, plus 80 which equals
S5.75, a reduction of so cents from the
present price of s6.25. However, in
May the price will be S5.95, in June
s6.10, in July $500, and in August
S6.45, or higher than last winter. This
is, of course on the supposition that
the coal operators now besieging
Washington, do not succeed in having
all these cuts at the mine removed.
The price of hard coal is likely to be
from $3.50 to $40 ton on No. 8
and 5, perhaps so cents less on Nos.
and 2, and no price quoted on No. s
furnace coal.
