COST FACTOR STRESSED
IN FIXING COAL RATES
Plea in Behalf of Bituminous
Producers Seeking Reduction
Presented to I. c. c.

Supporting the Property Owners
Committee, made up of coal producers
in Eastern Kentucky and Southern
West Virginia, who are seeking a re-
duction of coal rates into Tidewater
Virginia, John Carson, consumers
counsel, National Bituminous Coal
Commission, today asked the Inter
state Commerce Commission to give
due consideration to the cost of rem
dering transportation service" in fixing
bituminous rates.
The rate action is directed against
the Chesapeake g. Ohio Railroad and
other carriers serving the Pocahontas
coal fields.
Mr.. Carson said the case involves
the question of whether freight rates
for the transportation of bituminous
coal will, in the future, be based upon
the cost Of the carrier of rendering the
transportation service plus fair re-
turn on investment or continue to be
based, as now seems to be the case, of
what the coal traffic will bear"
The Coal Commission is preparing
for cost hearings scheduled this month,
The first-for Rocky Mountain and
Far Western producers-starts in Den
yer next Monday; on June 81, hearings
for Eastern and Middle Western pro-
ducers will be held here.

n. n. EA loN,
Associated Press Statistician,

NEW YORK. June 6-Residential
construction continued to rise steadily
during recent weeks as building ma
terial costs declined
The Associated Press home con-
struction index, adjusted for seasonal
variations and changes in cost, rose
to 54.8 per cent of the 1929-30 aver
age in the week ended May %. This
was one-third above the recession low
point in February and only II per
cent under the comparable period a
year ago.
The squirt building, contractors say.
has resulted in part from efforts by
the administration to stimulate this
key industry. Honey has been made
available on comparatively easy terms
and other help has been extended
prospective builders.
Another potent factor in the BOOM
let, they point out, is the steady down.
ward course traced by building ma
terial prices. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics measure of such costs Drop
ped to 90.4 per cent of the 1925 aver
age in April, from peak of 7.2 less
than year ago.

OUTLOOK BETTER
IN FUR TRADE
Firming Prices for Both Raw
and Dressed Lines Help
Prospects.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Spe Cial Dispatch to Inc Star.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Instead of
at a seven-year high, as was the posi-
ton at the beginning of 1887, most
divisions of the fur trade started 1888
with volume around the 1886 level;
some were not much over 1885, accord
ing to survey by Dun & Bradstreet,
Inc.
Although month-to-month in
creases were recorded, the drop from
1887 heightened each month. BY the
end of May total wholesale volume
had slumped 20 to 40 per cent, retail
sales Is to 80 per cent and production
of fur garments 60 to 80 per cent be-
low the 1887 five-month comparatives.
Some of the retail sales loss was over
come by a 20 per cent rise in repair
and storage volume.
"On account of the experience of
1887, when the overextended buying
of the first and second quarters
brought costly inventory write-of in
December, commitments during the
elapsed five months of 1888 were placed
conservatively. Few orders exceeded
immediate urgent needs. At the be-
ginning of June, the chief handicap
was lack of volume in all divisions.
Despite this, outlook for the remain
ing months Of the year was frightened
by firming price structure for both
raw and dressed furs and the settle
ment of labor difficulties in the manu-
featuring division.
Elimination of the per cent levy
on furs was expected to give a strong
stimulus to the expansion of fall
trade. This troublesome levy, included
in the group known as the nuisance
tax" which was replaced by the new
tax law made effective on May 20,
had been adding about s5,000,000 to
the cost OF furs every year. Even
though put back one month by the
strike, manufacturers planned to COM
plete early lines by June Is.
Disturbed by the strike, operations
in the manufacturing division were
brought virtually to standstill dur
ing most of the period from Feb
ruary to May 26 Pelt requirements
dwindled, as production of fur gar
ments for the five months averaged
60 to 80 per cent less than the volume
for January-May, 1887 Most manu-
facturers drew on large pelt carry
overs accumulated last fall, in prepara-
tion for heavy flow of recorders, which
failed to develop during the winter
months
Offerings at the various New York
fur auctions since the first of the year
were well taken. even though bidding
was not spirited. Price inclination was
extended gradually. and by the May
events had gone 10 to 20 per cent
over the December lows"

Bermuda has surprisingly little
public debt; governmental deficits
are taboo. PAY as you go" is the
islands system.
Organized labor is nonexistent.
Only one strike is on the records
since the island was first colonized
almost $50 years ago.
Bermuda has it's own parlia-
ment, possessing wide powers of
self-government, although its Brit
governor is invested
with extensive authority. Ber-
muda's best families, many of
them predating the birth of the
United States, regard service as
lawmakers as an honor as well as
a duty, and function most Sc
riously. zone retail merchant told

NO REAL DEPRESSION
Political upheavals are un-
known. At last count, of some
80, 900 population, fewer than $500
were voters, just over 1,400 whites
and almost LOO colored. Only
adult males owning $500 worth of
land Cor having a wife owning
that amount) can vote.
It is hard for an American to
grasp that Bermuda has had no
real depression since the collapse
Of our Civil War price initiation.
Life moves along most smoothly,
unstrenuously. Bermuda has no
manufacturing industries whatso-
ever. Agriculture, now largely in
the hands of industrious Portu-
guese, is its main basic industry,
but today it exports little and has
to import heavily. Its overshadow-
ingly predominant industry is its
tourist crop, some 80 per cent of
U. S. origin. It is steadily on the
up-curve, since more and more
people find Bermuda's old-fash-
ioned, easy-going, tranquil mode of
life a welcome respite from the un-
ceasing turmoil here.
