as Result.

FAIRMoNr, w. Va, March 81
Judge jackson has decided against
the independent coal operators of
Fairmont in the injunction case that

Ohio Railroad Company against the
former, and has thus put several
local institutions out of business.
It is not likely that a single one of
the Fairmont coal companies which
loaded eoal from wagons will remain
in business and keep their plants in
operation. About two hundred men
have been thrown out of employ
ment by the decision and lot Of
money has been indefinitely tied up.
Some of the officers of the independ
ent companies were seen this morn
ing, bat hone would talk regarding
