"This has been caused," the dealer continued, "by the hundreds of coal cars on side-tracks throughtout the country, which cannot In- moved because of the switchmen's strike." "This prevents mines from working more than half time, thereby causing a shortage of coal on markets. The bit nation here is not serious, however." This dealer said that although there lias been no increase in for about 20 days, coal delivered here in May will . rust the consumer more. The exact increase is not known.

C, April 28. An apparent conspiracy exists to intimidate the railroad labor board into denying wage increase for railroad workers, President Carter, of the brotherhood of locomotive firemen and enginemen, declared today at the hearing before the board. Mr. Carter said increased wages paid employes had been almost imperceptible in their effect on prices and added that they might be disregarded as a factor in the high cost of living. Timothy Shea, vice president of the firemen's brotherhood, protested against the board receiving data from railroads on the workmen's claims in the form of questionnaires, as suggested. This method, the brotherhood official declared, would require months, pdding that he limit had been reached by the workers.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

BUILDING IS THIRD i FROM TOP ON H.C.L. LADDER: GOING UP CHICAGO, April 28. The index figure for wholesale prices for lumber and building materials in March Is 325 according to the statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The figure for February was 300, prices for 1913 being used as 100. This clearly shows that the price tendency for building materials is upward. It also shows that the price level for building materials is the third highest of all commodities, the highest being cloth and clothing with house-furnishing goods second in the list. As a matter of fact it is the wild bidding of buyers rather than the list prices of manufacturers that is chiefly responsible for the present price level in the building material field. Bonus payments for immediate deliveries are the rule rather than the exception in lumber and steel and, in a lesser degree, this condition prevails in the brick, cement and building hardware fields. It is, of course, difficult to convince the man whose need for lumber, steel, or any other building material is most pressing, that it is unsound business to offer a bonus for immediate consideration for his order. The fact remains that bonus paying, both for materials and labor, is an important factor in boosting construction costs. Difficulty in Delivery. The difficulty in getting delivery on building materials grows out of (1) the shortage in stocks and production, and (2) demoralized service and lack of equipment on the railroads. Transportation conditions have improved slightly, especially in the middle West, during the last few days, but the demoralization incident to the epidemic of outlaw strikes still is quite apparent. The general transportation situation Is so unfavorable and so much construction work is being held up because of slow deliveries of essential materials that there is a growing conviction in the construction industry, of justification for priority handling for construction shipments. Those who urge this policy point out that shipments of luxuries and nonessentials are making such demands on the available railroad equipment that the very materials which would importantly help in alleviating housing conditions wait on cars for loading, or are delayed en route because of the inadequacy of motive power. If transportation conditions do not improve materially and promptly the construction Industry may confidently be expected to make a vigorous campaign with railroad officials and the interstate commerce commission for nrioritv handling of bulding material and a "revision of freight rates which will eliminate the war-time rates vhich still apply to many building products. FORWARD MOVEMENT OFFICE TO STAY OPEN IN CITY Although with the close of the main financial drive of the Forward Movement of Friends the local staff of workers will be reduced, the Forward Movement headquarters will continue in Richmond. In honor of the departure of a number of persons who have been associated with the headquarters during the past few months, a dinner was given in the business offices in the Colonial building Wednesday noon. All members of the staff attended. SEIZURE IS NIPPED PARIS, April 28.

Wood Alcohol Climbing; Now $2.65 Per Gallon Developments of a sensational character have been frequent in the wholesale market for alcohol recently, the latest event being a record-breaking increase in the price of methyl or wood alcohol. That occurred a day or two ago when the producers announced an advance in prices of $2.65 per gallon for 95 per cent in car load lots, $2.80 per gallon for 95 per cent and $3.50 per gallon for purified wood alcohol. The increase in prices was not only the sharpest ever announced by makers, but it also carried values up to heights never before reached in the wood alcohol manufacturing industry of this country. Extremely sharp advances have also occurred recently in pure and denatured alcohol, and, moreover, much difficulty is being experienced la securing supplies for prompt or nearby delivery even at the abnormally high prices now prevailing.

The situation is without precedent story of the alcohol industry. case or a commodity or sucn . 1 n n nUnknl ...... . V. - Under normal conditions of supply and demand, as they existed just prior to the outbreak of the war, wood alcohol was selling in this market at 45 cents per gallon for 95 per cent, and the current market price shows an increase, therefore, of roughly 500 per cent. In the same time pure grain or molasses alcohol has risen froni S2.51' per gallon to about $8.50, while denatured alcohol has advanced from 34 cents to $1.
