In the absence OF Government con-
troll over economic factors generally,
the opportunity 10 reduce the cost Of
living remains out Of the hands Of
Government agencies and In the
hands OF the laws Of supply and de-
mand. When production is brought

But as for coal. transportation fa-

In the meantime II In a game OF

upon them both to keep their de-

miners were sure, for instance, of
acceptance by the operators Of the
position taken by the secretayr OF
Labor and II the operators in turn
were sure that DR.. Harry A. Garfield.
Fuel Administrator. could assure
them OF permission TO raise the
present maximum price OF coal
which was set during the war and
recently reimposed when the coal
crisis began.
II is an effort at present to figure
out how the increase in wages can
be absorbed and n simultaneous ef-
fort to keep the increase Of wages
down as low as possible while OPP
orators persuade the Government OF
the necessity OF being allowed to
charge more to the consumer.
The situation Is parallel to that
which confronted the country when
Herbert Hoover fixed the price OF
wheat at s2.20. Some people said
II was too high; the FARMERS said II
wasn't enough. and the effectiof the
stabilized price was variousty dis
counted. In the end II was found
that while costs OF uncontrolled COM
modities went up. the price OF flour
remained stable. So 1t was with

partly by the public, that for the

wages that the miners got In 1917
when the last adjustment was made.

Alcnt to the present cost Of commod-

WILSON ESTIMATE DOESN'T
SUIT EITHER siDE.
The operators say this Il too
much and the miners say II is not
enough. And on top OF this the nlti-
mate consumer sets MP a howl that
the increased wages would mean
s20o. 100000 TO the cost Of coal per
year. But OF thia amount really the
great bulk is absorbed by big indus
tries and there Ia only 16 per cent.

by the average man. II means about
forty cents a ton moro for coal thai
the average householder would have

But the interesting thing about Il
all Ia that II there hadn't been q

would never have been focused on

" Il hadn't been for the controvers,
tself, the price OF coal might have
gone MP not merely forty cents bu

know that might happen and tha
they might not get any share Of tha
increase.
As for the viewpoint that the I'm
position Of forty cents per ton NOR,

good women there will get its
full benefit.
Alllendale, Keevil, Shiloh, Le-

SUNDAY MORNING
FIRE A MYSTERY
Chief Dow Whitson and His
Splendid Fire Fighters Stop
the Fire.

The rapid fire whistle of the
Oklahoma Express and the
rapid fire of some fellows au-
tomato pistol, on Sunday
morning, at 1:30 o'clock, was
the first signal of the fire
alarm that startled sleeping
Brinkleyites.
The single story brick, corn
er of Cypress street and New
York avenue, was in flames
and it looked that it and the
2 story concrete block house
adjoining were beth s'sure
goners." .,.---.~>
When Chief Dow Whitson
and his fire fighters reached
he fire they found no water
pressure but after awhile it
came on and they went after
the fire demon with hammer
and tongs and hose and after
an hours intense fighting, won
out.
The fire was evidently of
incendiary origin. The party or
parties starting it had gone to
the rear door of Schroeders
furniture repair shop and
awakened the owner, who got
up and examined the premises.
He saw the fire in the rear
room of the brick and noted
that it had started from the
floor, and was rapidly envel-
oping the entire room, showing
that it had started from the
scattering of oil or some high
ly infamable substance.
AS the fire progressed ex-
plosions, similar in sound to
cartridges or shells, was heard
by many who have wondered
what it meant. In fact it
sounded as if it had been an
ammunition plant or young
arsenal.
The single story brick store
was just half destroyed. It was
owned by Wilson Bros. and the
Emmett Lee Est. Loss $500.
No insurance.
The block house is owned by
the colored lodge. Loss $500.

High prices of lumber, Bah!
The price of lumber has been
on an upward trend since"fo

We mean. Yes, one advance has
often followed SO close after
another that sometimes there
was a rear-end collision-then
the two advances joined and
we're one big one by the time
the consumer was ready to
buy. But high prices, wind or
water don't seem to detour the
determination of the progress
sive folk of East Arkansas.
They say the call is onward
that the state must be advanC-

ed with suitable homes.
The above facts are in evil
dence from the, good business
the Brinkley lumber yards are
