MORE TRANSPORTATION NEEDEI


MORE TRANSPORTATION NEEDED.
The statement from F7airmont that
West Virginia's coal output is too
large to be handled by the railroads,
and that the transportation companies
distinctly decline to encourage the
opening of new mines, constitutes
rather an unusual demonstration OF
the development of this State. The
demand for our coal is enormous and
constantly increasing, and yet, try as
they may, the railroads are utterly I'M
able to afford the needed transporta-
ton, with the result that some mines
in the Fairmont region are only work
ing one-half or t%wo-thirds time when
they ought to work overtime!t 1t is
stated the B. & O. recently put on
fifty additional locomotives for the
coal trade alone, and yet the difference
in ability to do business was scarce
ly noticeable, while the list of rail-
road employees is the largest in the
history of the company. Many new
mines In the Fairmont district are
ready to be opened, ard others are
projected, but wner are held back
by the knowledge o. the fact that the
product can not possibly be gotten to
market under the present conditions.
