Rising H. C. L Winter Misery Likely

To the Editor of the "NomrH-CHINA Dairy News"

Sin—The price of coal will be the cause of much misery this winter.

Complacent employers who imagine that a 5 per cent. to 7% per cent. allowance for H.C.L. is ample for their Staff will have on their heads a few deaths from exposure. On thei other hand, is there no honest and enterprising coal importer who will do business on a ce-operative basis: from the mines to the consumer at 2 fair margin of profit?
