CONDITIONS IN CANADA. 



"I do not know how things are going 

 in the States except from what I read, 

 as I have not been over since 1914," 

 writes John Nicol, of Owen Sound, Ont., 

 "but I can assure you that the situ- 

 ation here is not all smooth sailing. 



Ooal last winter cost $14 per ton of 

 2,000 pounds, soft coal at that. This 

 winter's prospects as to price look even 

 worse, if we get any coal at all. I 

 often look back to my early days in 

 Jersey City and wonder what the men 

 of thirty or forty years ago, such as 

 Peter Henderson, Julius Boehrs, my 



own father and many others, would 

 think if they could come back and tee 

 the change. In those days hard sgg 

 coal was $5 per gross ton and all kinds 

 of labor was to be had at $9 per week. 

 I am afraid they would not enjoj their 

 return." ' '
