The consumer pays 50 per cent more than he did last year. . The retailer claims he can’t break even in spite of this. The prices were fixed in Seattle by taking the basic price at the mine and adding the costs of transportation, etc., to meet local conditions. Assuming that the local expenses were legitimately added, then the BASIC price must be exorbitant, or else this tremendous boost in price would not have resulted. Something is wrong, Mr. Whitcomb. It is YOUR job to adjust it. If the coal operators have slipped over ething on the national fuel administrator, it is your duty to point it out.

At various points on a front over at least a score of miles, the British commander-in-chief today reported his troops had smashed their way for a distance of bee tween four and five miles thru the first defenses of the vaunted Hindenburg defenses. The second line—more than a mile behind the pres liminary defenses—was also stormed by the victorioug Tommies.
