Pennsylvania building material dealers received today announce¬ ments from the Lone Star Cement Company Pennsylvania, increasing iUs prices for Lone Star and "Incor" cements ten cents per barrel. In dis- cu-sslng the announcement, Mr. L. C McConnell, vice-presented of the Lone Star (3ement Company, said:
"Competition In the cement in¬ du.stry, caused largely by existing excess productive capacity, reduced prices during the past three years to bankruptcy levels. Dividends dis¬ appeared, organizations curtailed, working hours shortened and salari¬ es and wages drastically reduced, all of which ,served to severely lower the purchasing power of those depend¬ ing upon the cement industry for Income.
"Our own company suffered a tremendous loss in 1932 and has lost heavily In the first two months of this year. Our plant has been op¬ erating on very   limited   capacity
I more workers. We propose to I along to our employees a ahait of ' the iiu:reaaed price, so long aa guell price remaim in effect, by adding ta the earnings of each hourly and weekly worker. In the form al ad¬ ditional compensation, 19% flC (heir earnings for each week.

"The wonderful cooperative spirit being exhibited by all partiea In Congre.s,s under the able leaderahip of the President li;splres the con- ndence that the hoped-for upturn in condition-s is at hand. But de¬ spite the splendid work being done, improvement may- be extremely slo^T unless the purchasing power of lab¬ or and all others depending on In¬ dustry for their income   Is steadily
We hope to Improve this and employ I Increased."

BEWARE OF CHEAP COAL PRICES
Tills week several solicitors vialted homes here In an effort to sell coal "direct from mine to home"' and quoted many different prices to pro- ipects. One case in particular a difference of two dollars per ton was quoted on chestnut coal lo two town parties who know the "racket," but In neither ca.se did the agent get the order.
It Is wry important that you know from whom you order coal these days, and know what you get. Cheap coal often are very expensive after all It is easy to "weigh short" on two or three ton lots, as weU aa "watering," Water don't bum, nor are there any B, T. U's. In coal you nevpr receive. Where there U such a difference In price certainly there must be such a difterence in the pro¬ duct or value received. Be cautioua of coal dealers who are "Here"to- day and "Nowhere" to-morrow.
