COAL PRICES T0
SLIDE. uPWA ARDS
The Operators Plan a Raise
All Summer.
APRIL REDUCTION
Instead OF the Usual Lower Prices,
Fifteen Cents Month Rise is De-
c;ded by Anthracite 3arons.

Philadelphia, March 1O.--In the face
by the United States senate anthrl-
cite operators throughout PennSyif;:-
mia are planning new price 90 :.%e
that, if successful, Will put the cost
of hard coal to consumers above cEcn
the high price level rca he'd during
wartime by government aid.
This became known Saturday, when
simultaneous announcement WAS made
by two of the largest operators in The
state OF increases in the price 1T the
mines to be made effective on May l.
One of the companies. the G. E. Mr.
Lle company. of Hazleton. is l;~:"d
with the so-called independent operat-
ors and the other is the Delaware and
Hudson Coal company.
No announcement has been made as
vet by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company as to what it
intends to do. The Reading, through
its huge production, virtually fixes the
price for other railroad-Owned COM
panies and Independents alike.
Officials of various independent pro
1rcerS, admitted that the attempt to
put over an increase on May l will be
general TWAS also predicted that the
Reading and all other railroad Oper-
atOrs will announce increases.
The Markle company in its an
nouncement says that it will increase
the price Of coal fifteen cents ton on
May /. and similar amount on the
first of each succeeding month until
and including September. This will
make total increase of seventy-five
cents per tom The Delaware and
Hudson increase will be only fifty
cents a ton.
While coal operators were under
control of the federal fuel administra
ton the fixed price for the independ-
ents was seventy-five cents a ton
higher than that allowed the railroad
owned companies. This condition eX-
listed until February / on which date
the seventy-five-cent differential was
dropped.
Throughout the history of anthracite
production it has been customary for
operators to reduce prices fifty cents
a ton on April 1 of each year, for the
purpose of stimulating buying and
thus keeping production as nearly
level as possible. The amount thus
dropped is put on again at the rate
of ten cents month.
In spite of the fact that operators
have been complaining of rising costs
of production, it was believed by
many experts that the usual reduction
would be made this spring. The prin-
cipal reason for this belief is the fact
that owing to the mildness of the
winter season just ended consumers
generally are well stocked with coal.
An official of the former Pennsylva-
mia fuel administration said that there
is more anthracite in the cellars of
consumers throughout the state, to be
held over for use next winter, than
ever. before in the history Of the in
dustry. Householders who ordinarily
bought coal as they needed it, ton
or two at a tome, responded to the
warnings from the fuel administration
of possible shortage early last fall
md winter.

FREE MARKET MIGHTs
SEND WHEAT TO $3.50
Hoover Sees Possibility if Con-
troll is Removed.

Paris, March 6.-Herbert c. Hoover,
United States food administrator,
when asked here whe. her the United
States government would lose the
$1,OO0,OOO,0OO appropriated to support
the guarantee for next years wheat
crop, said there are several factors to
consider
Investigation of food needs of Eu-
rope indicates there will be no surplus
to carry into the 1919 crops. A large
part of the Australian wheat must go
to India, where there is famine, be-
sides which much of Australia's stOr-
ed wheat has spoiled.
"The needs of Europe" he said,
care larger than our previous esti-
mates Altogether, the balance of the
supply and demand for our present
wheat now looks as though we might
see wheat at $3.50 a bushel, as it was
in the spring of 1917, if there is a
free market in wheat and uncontrolled
prices"

Coblenz, March 10.-The German
military commission at Coblenz has Of
ficially notified the headquarters of
the American third army that it has
received a message from the war
ministry at Berlin informing it Of
the forthcoming discharge Of the class
of 1899.
This class, with volunteers and nom

ice or for long terms, are the only re-
naming men in the old German army.
excepting a few units on the eastern
front.
Thus the discharge of the 1899 class
means the virtual end of the old Ger
man army, and in the opinion Of
American officers who have studied
the German rehabilitation, 1t will be
followed either by a dissolution Of the
stats of all the old army units or
their incorporation into the new vol
unteer army.

SLEEPING SICKNESS
FOLLOWS INFLUENZA
Majority Of Patients Awake
After Ten Days or So.

Chicago, March 1O.-Medical autho-
rites are not agreed as to the true
nature of a strange malady reported
as sleeping sickness"
Twenty cases have developed In
Chicago and vicinity. At confer
ence of medical men here Health
Commissioner Robertson ascribed the
maIady to an after affect of influenza.
1.-The so-called sleeping sickness is
a new variety of influenza or a form
of brain Inflammation produced by
the disease as an after-effect," he
said There is no reason for alarm"
Every effort is being made to trace
down the disease and combat it. Or
dinarily after ten days the attack
wears off unless the case is severe.
Physicians contend that the malady
is not the real sleeping sickness Of
Africa, which is transmitted only by
an insect, which cannot live in this
climate.

Since the worthless labor has been
cautioned to leave Gainesville a wave
of crime has ceased and indications
are that men who refused to work,
even when the mills were booming,
were responsible for many of the petty
