RETAIL DEALERS T0 SUFFER. {An End to the Ruinous War Among Mill Operators and Wholesalers, MAY ADVANCE STILL FURTHER. All the Mills of the Coast Combine to Raise the Price of Their Products. The Inmber manufacturers of the Pacific Coast have agreed on a schedule of prices lo govern the trade of the city and of ports south. The agreement was the re- sult of an atiempt at another lumber combine similar to the Central Lumber Association, that a year or twWo ago con- trolled the wholesale traffic in lumber of the nortiern coast mills. While the association was in operation the lumbermen claimed that they could make a profit on the product of their milis. The association went out of exist- ence u little over a year ago, and the ium: ber-dealers began war of rates. Tne prices the big dealers quoted were ruinous to the small operators, and the lumber market was in a bad way. The retail dealers suffered even worse than the whol lers, and a retail lumber- dealers’ association was formed to dev some means of protecting the trude, Several of the small wholesale dealers and manufacturers ciosed their mills and prepared to wait until the big dealers quit cutiing the botiom cut of the market. | Mutters became so bad thatthe big dealers the ruinous poiicy of the war, ana they were not slow in iollowing the pian set rth by one of their numuoer to save the market from complete coliapse.

Holt was not discouraged, and a few Wweeks ago mest-of the owners of the prominent mills beiween San Francisco and Puget Sound sigued an agreement to put lumber on the market at prices would at jeast give promise of profit, The organization was a strong one, and the small dealers who at first held aloof at coming into the combine readily assented and now there is hardly a mill-owner on the coast who does not belong to the new organization.

As soon as the organizition was formed the retailers’ associat on realized that an op- portunity bad develoved for advancing prices, and for the past month they have been raising the price at the rate ol 50 cents a week on the 1000 fe-t.

It Is Dissected by the Labor Council and the Iroquois Club, Many Bad Points Are Found and the Hope Expressed That It Will Never Be Adopted. As the woerk of the charter convention is graduaily nearing an end it is qaily attracting more and mcre attention, and the doings of the body are coming up for much adverse criticism, both in political and labor circles. The desire for a new charter seems almost universal, but the one being constructed by the convention seems to be looked upon as a little worse than the present one. At a meeting of the Iroquois Club held last evening almost the entire time was given up to the discussion of this ques- tion, speaker after speaker taking the floor only to find some new reason why the charte- should never be adopted. One of the chiei objections was the power which will be given the Mayor, who, ac- cording to its provisions, will be a mighty ruler, with power to remove public offi KEW TO-DAY. $2000°° Schilling's Best baking pow- der will not spoil your cake if you use too much of it.

Another section provides for the ac- | quirement of public utilities eitbher by | purchase or construction. This was also severely criticized, and the fact was brought out that under the pres:nt State law these may be appraised and purchased at the appraised vaiue, while under the new charter it will be necessary either to construct rival enterprises or purchase these already existing at whatever price the present owners may ask. At the meeting of the San Francisco Labor Council aiso the new charter was generally dissected. The labor nnions of | this city are represented in the committee and have from time to time made at-| temp:s to have clauses favoering tie army | of workingmen inserted in the charter, but the representation is small, and when- ever such resolutions have been intro- duced they have either been summarily voted down or adopted in such a manner | as to show that they will be of littie ser- vico to the working people. In the indi- vidual un’ons als> opinions have from time to time been expressed that seem to indicate a severe snowstorm when the new charter is finaily voted upon. | ———————— Worth a Dollar; Costs Ten Cents.
