Some say II is the price OF gaso-

The innocent bystander suggests
that the cleaners were merely jeal-
Gus of the plumbers and electricians
and railroads when they decided
yesterday to raise their charge for
making that old suit look like new.
But the cleaners, in breaking the
had rews 10 the public explain that

sdry b. the continued advance in

calls, and on account of material

One Cleaner Baked.
The proprietor of the Empire
Cleaners refused the first part of
the day to join the rest of the fra
ternity in hiking the cost of hav
ing a suit cleaned, from $1.75 to So.
There was CONSERVATION through
out the prominent cleaning circles
of the city at this mutiny. Messen-
gers were sent forth and finally a
compromise was effected.
With the result that the man that
has only a pair of trousers is out
o'-luck. so to speak. For the price
of cleaning and pressing a pair OF
trousers has been advanced, in the
amended treated of the cleaners,
from rs cents to a dollar. There is
no change in the price of cleaning
and pressing a complete suit.
Women, however, who affect
fluffy garments, the pleated. skirt,
or the filmy gown that causes the
cleaner to exercise great care lest
perhaps 1t tear and he swear, are
also unfortunate.
Must Pay For Frills.
For the cleaners are going to
charge more for wasting their time
on this bothersome feminine ap-
parel. Their price remains the
same, the cleaners say, except for "a
slight change" 1t used TO cost a
dollar to have a skirt cleaned. The
only difference Is that the price is
now "a dollar--and up"
The land up'' quotation will be
invoked on all types of women's
garments that will demand more
time or attention from the cleaner
than the plain skirt. Pleats, 1t is
pointed out, increase the area to be
cleaned by about 100 per cent. A
pleated skirt should not expect the
same consideration, the cleaners
say. as. a plain old walking skirt
that is not afraid to come out in the
