In adopting the mask-wearing regulation, had put In effect an order that was designed to permit the business and s,-y4 hcat activities to continue with as litie" hitdrance as possible.

Hopeful of some readjustment in the price of print paper by which it might be enabled to maintain its old schedule of prices, The Star delayed action. The price of print paper today Is more than double what it was eighteen months ago. Instead of any decrease in price the coming year..AN A11)'.1\N'F 18 CERTAIN. As the people have become used to billion-dollar Congresses, so the publishers, it appears, must come to regard complacently a price of 4 or 5 cents per pound for paper ($80 to $100 a ton). SOther materials have also increased in price greatly, not to mention wages. Salaries, generally, have been advanced. A war bonus, or its eqluivalcnt. 'c being paid'every union man or woman employedl on The Star, and where wage scales have expired this year increases have been granted, in addition to the war bonus. No year in the publishing business has presented such unusual conditions. Each day and each month the coat pf operationi has mounted upward. In Justice to all concerned, feeling keenly Itat its readers and advertisers are a unit in demanding that the high standard established in recent years be maintained, The Star can no longer postpone the step, and on and after Dec. 1 the subscription rates will be as follows: Single copy, Daily................ 8 cents Single copy, Sunday............... S8 cents By carrier, Dally, per week......... 12 cents By carrier, Daily and Sunday, per week.20 cents SRecoganiIng the "tireless energy and exceptional service given by the agents and carriers. The Star will pass along to them a portion of the increase. Another postiton will be set aside for improvement of the paper, wheever.opportunity offes's, and it is ce-rtain that the subscHber, despite the slight Increase, will receive even. greater value ain the future than In the past.
