HOW TO SAVE

 while we were arguing the matter anotier couple came up, jumped into the cab and went snorting down the street, leaving us there. We took the street car over to the station-i6 cents right there and Mary Jane spattered her shoes getting on, so that they had to be cleaned, They were suede and that means S5 cents. We had to stand and the man next to me held his umbreila-unknown to me -so that 1t dripped down the back of my trousers and they have had to be sent to the cleaners.
 "Once in the station we found that we had fooled around over the cab so long that the theatre train was almost about | to start and so lickety- splinter we chased downstairs and out into the train sheds. We'll, in running Mary Jane turned her silly little heeis--she has feet that are | too small, anyhow. to hold her upright and she slipped. I caught her, of course, before she was down, but one siGe of her georgette froek dragged along the ground and that had to go to the cleaners.

THE PEOPLE PAY.

Offers of settlement made by coal mine operators provide for the return of the men at the wages that prevailed before the strike with investigation py a board of arbitrators to follow with a view to determining future wages and working conditions Thts promises little prospect for this year, at least, for relief in the matter of coal prices, while what coal will be available will be in small lots and Of restricted range in sizes
 Prices of anthracite in the sizes ordi- narily used by the householder have doubled within the past twelve years. Soft coal prices have also scared. How the cost of the fuel used in the homes of New England has increased Is shown by the Massachusetts commission on the necessaries of life by means of com parative statement of prices of anthra- cite of stove size. The tabulation is in- cluded in the report of the commission for the year 1921. Tn April, 1910, stove coal sold in Boston for $6.75 a ton. In April, 1921, the price was $15. It later in that year rose to $1550. Before the beginning of the strike last spring there was a drop of fifty cents ton. Just what price will be fixed for stove coal when 1t is again available in Boston is not known, but 1t is probable that 1t will be at least 100 per cent higher than it was in September, 1910, when from the low level of April of that year the price had been advanced to SIPS ton.
 Most of this great increase in the price of anthracite has come within the past four years. as the figures are quot. ed by the commission on the necessaries of life. It was not until January, 1918 that stove coal passed the ten-dolial l mark, the price then being fixed a $fo.25. Thereafter it rose steadily unti l it reached the peak at $16 in the sum mer of 1920, and 1t clung to the peal until April, 1921, when it fell to s15 After the drop it was still more thai
 100 per cent above the figures quoted for April, 1910.

 after the war has been indfnitely post
 poned. While the board is eonductin

The people of the United States will nA squarely behind President Harding in the determination with which he is cred tied 10 give the full aid and protection of the federal government to the maln- tenance of railway operations. Having exhausted every effort to bring about compromise settlement of the shopmens strike. President Harding will have pub lie opinion with him when he declares that the trains must be kept running and 1t will be the business of the gov ernment to see that their operation s maintained. The people are tired of be- ing taken by the throat by a small mil nority of workers who would compel sub mission to their demands by imposing suffering and deprivation reon those who depend for the necessities of life upon uninterrupted rail service. They are tired of hearing union leaders of a small minority prate about their rights when they have no regard for the rights of the vast majority. They are tired of the reign of terrorism which is attempt ed through the work of strike sympa- thizers, If not by the strikers them selves. with bombing of trains. interfer- eRee with equipment, desertion of trains the use of the torch and bomb, the axe and the nippers. They are tired of the subterfuge by which the brotherhood members attempt to aid the shopnen by lnstituting what are sympathetic strike conditions. although avoiding the name of a sympathetic strike.

RUSSELL EXPLAINS THE
 25c A TON COAL CHARGE

25c TON COAL CHARGE
 Regarding the expressions of disap- proval which have been pretty general on the question of the announcement that the state fuel distribution commits sion would add a twenty-five cent charge to every ton of coal shipped into the state under the federal system of dis tribution Thomas W. Russell, advisor of the commission, made statement on Tuesday which he hoped would clear any misunderstanding upon the subject which might have arisen. He denied that he had ever issued a statement say ing that Connecticut would make a flat charge of twenty-five cents on a ton and said that certainly the state would do nothing to raise the price of coal, either anthracite or bituminous, for the ulti- mate consumer.
 ''Whatever the state does" he declar- ed. it will be rather to lessen the retail price of coal than to raise 1t. If it is found necessary to fix a certain addi- tlonal charge on coal to cover the cost of transportation from tideTater, where 1 the government leaves it. it will cer- tainly not be larger than the same amount which is added by wholesalers in 1 normal times to cover the same ex- penses. Massachusetts has had a | charge of fifteen cents to cover these expenses which is about what 1t costs the wholesaler. If the state by taking 1 over fuel distribution eliminates th' middleman, it will naturally be com. pelled to expend the same amount a: the middleman in getting its coal supply from Hampton Roads, let us say. where it is left by the government. to Hart ford or Bridgeport or New Haven. Blu the impression that the state admins tration is going to increase the cost O coal to the ultimate consumer might a well be dispelled now. If possible tn. state will reduce the price but 1t vii most emphatieally do nothing to increas it."
 MT Russell added that the problem
Norwich bulletin., 1922-08-17

of fuel distribution should be put in the hands of coal men. who were quail fled through long experience to handle the highly technical and complicated matters incident to distribution. The commission expects within the next day or so to be able to announce the ap- pointment of several men who will take charge of the office work and thus con- stitute a nucleus. for a statewide or ganization of administrators and local distributors. An attempt will probably be made to approach fsobert ScoTille of Salisbury to act as state distributor and executive in charge of the whole mechanism. A centra! office will proba- ply be opened at Hartford before the end of the week.
