The settlement of the -anthracite strike .is: going _to .cost ‘some. ohg mifiey. That'some one will be the ulti- mate -consumer, if the produeers and thes varjous middlemen can pass the increased .wages along to the con- syiner, @nd ‘they have been adepts in that-art in_the past . Mt has beén variously estimated that thedncrease in wages paid tge.miners will add 60 to 75 cents a ton in cost of preduction.. But will that be ail the inéfease demanded of the consumers? Pyramiding taxes and costs 'of proguc tiofr have hit the public hard in many Ty Phe remedy, after all, will lie largely inffie hands of the public. The fed~ eral government, it announced; Piiboses to do all in its power to edu-} cate the people i the anthracite-con- suiigiing communities on’the matter of costs and prices and margins of, profit in the coal indastry. That appears to be:as far as the government can go uglgss there shiould be a conspiracy on tirerpart of producers:and dealers to fix Wriced; which would come Within thee scope-of the antitrust laws. The UsRed States Coal Commission has gathered full data on costs, ete., and have later appeared in print, while others have remained in the obscutity Iu newspaper offices the typewriters soon became familiar applances.

Today | the news writer who canfot manipu- late the machine is an oddity, ‘an anachronism. Greater legibility and greater speed are the chiet consequences of this in- ivenlirm. which has Beeome an integral part of the comimercial, professional and literary life of the land. And net only. this land, but-all others. Tyie- writers are made “in gll languages.” Even in China and.Japan, where the lectér and .word characters run into the many hundreds, typewriters are in use, built with reniarkable ingenuity and skill for those conditions. Still there are” people today who | eschew the typewriter, who prefer.the pen, who cannot readily .dictate théir correspondence and have o faeility for tapping. the keyd. They are in the very small minority. They are rela- tively like these who held to the quill pen long after the steel. pen was n- vented and made a part of the equip- ment of everyday work. It is interesting on this day of the semicentennial of the typewriter to try to think back to the time befiive. the wonder machine was placed at the service. of man, and to imagine the business of this rushing age transact- ed:on the old basis of handwriting. It takes'some stwetch of the mind ta con- ceive such a condition, Proposed District Legislation. This year's reports of the heads of several departments of the District sovernment have contalned recom. mendations for new laws and amend- ment of existing laws. Sofe of the rgcommendations have been made sure- cessively for several years, and have had indorsement of civic bodies, and some of the things proposed have been before the District committees of Con- 2ress.

Is it true that miners have 0 | trade at the company store, and that the operators make great profits from running the stores and owning the miners’ homes?—S. J. D. A. Necessity.is as a rule the com- pelling force in situations where miners trade at company stores, rent company houses, employ company doctors/etc. Many mining camps are located on company property and are not Incorporated towns. in these eamps—all the places in which to live thdt are convenient to the mines, and all the stores—are owned by the company. The com- pany establishes these stores for the conveniencé of its employes. The stores are not supposed to be con- ducted primarily for profit, usually the prices charged are not unreason- able, and ‘the ‘rent for the houses is not excessive. The miner can trade where he pleases, but in most in- He came on fto|Stances he wants eredit. He gets it at _the company store, because he agrees ‘that the company may de- duct from his. wages whatever amounts are due it for supplies, rent, ete, and it is his necessity, or the convenience of the arrangement that leads him to make this agreement. This form of the check-off protects the company against loss and enables it to sell goods to the miner at a comparatively small margin of profit. There may he cases in which thé iner is exploited under this agfee- ment, but varfous investigations that have been made show that such cases are exceptional. The unlon miners contend, on the other hand, that they have the same right to arrange for the check-offwof their union dues and fees that they have to agree to the check-off that is solely for the benefit and proteetion of the company.
