He have had bimetalism before and
we have lived under ii and while it has
obvious disadvantages, these may be

So on the whole it may be said that

Bituminous coal prices in Washing
ton should not increase to any great
extent this Winter because OF added
production costs under the N. r. A.
code, according to survey by the
Consumers Advisory Board.
At most, the survey declared. there
should not be more than 20 per
cent increase even II mining costs
should double. This. however. Is far
more than actual increases, the high
est of which in Washington has been
a Jump from $1l.50 to sl2, because
production costs have advanced only
to a negligible extent
An analysis of retail prices, the board
reported. shows that about half goes
to the retail dealer, less than a third
to the railroads for transportation, and
the rest. probably In the neighborhood
of 20 per cent, to the mine. The only
increase has come in the low-wage
coal fields, where operators have been
forced to meet the minimum wage set
by the soft-coal code.
Local prices have been influenced
little by the change. the highest IN
crease in the wholesale price being re-
ported at Sc cents per ton, and being
attributed wholly to the higher wage
rates required by the code.
There seems to be no reason the
advisory board said, Ito expect much
increase in the price of coal because
of freight charges or retail costs. Freight
rates have actually fallen cents per
ton.

sumption which may take place should

Under the diplomatic influence of Edward c.

B. A. efforts to standardize the sport.
 As a result it may soon be pos sible for boxing followers to rec ognize a champion when they see one and not be confused by a wide variety of disputed title claims.
 Foster was on hand with the official N. B. A. certificate to pre- sent to Vince Dundee, when Vince lifted the middleweight crown from Lefty Lou Brouillard at Bos- ton. He also came down to New York to perform the same cere- mony for the Walker-Rosenbloom light heavyweight tilt in Madison Square Garden, in full view of the members of the New York State Athletic Commission, which has so far refused to make any working agreement with the N.
