At the stockholders meeting ]. Wal.
ter Barnes, the general manager
made his report. Mr.. Barnes was re.

was very satisfactory. The line now
building between Grafton and Philippl

CAR FAMINE
is HURTING ALL KINDS OF BusI-
NESS IN THIS COMMUNITY AT
PRESENT.

The car famine in the Fairmont
district is assuming huge proportions.
It is not only the coal industries that
are suffering but all other forms of
shipping business is affected. Per-
haps thesmost enterprising shipper of
the region is.the Hammond Fire Brick
Company. General Manager Brett
has arisen to the occasion in an ener.
getic manner. He has asked Super
Iintendent Thompson for cars and
while he thinks he has received his
just share, not enough cars by half
has been furnished. He told the SUI
perintendent that II they would even
send a set Of trucks up his concern
would build the remainder of the car.
The only available cars at that time
were some fiat cars with not sign of
a top or sides but the Hammond peo-
pie bought lumber. and finished up
with the result that they got some OF
their shipments out on time.
