CUMBERLAND, Nd, June PA large
number Of coal miners have left the
Georges Greek region of Maryland for
Pennington, near Fairmont, W. Va,
where the Georges Creek Coal and Coke
Company, of which Robert L. Somerville,

Of reinstatement unless they win the

It up as long as possible. The men really
willing TO work, frustrated in their at
tempt here, are going elsewhere.
Capt. John Sheridan, one of the leading
operators of the Georges Creek region,

he represents to be shod for immediate
service. This, with the activity of the
Consolidated Coal Company in getting
everything ready for work, indicates that
probably the persistent rumor that SIS
