HALF Output
OF COAL MINED

Present Indications are that the
shortage of cars which has prevailed
throughout the east and middle west
for the past few months viii beaS
lieeed to certain extent, especially
so far as the Baltimore. & Ohio rail
road is concerned, within the next
two months. The B. & o. ,has been
placing orders for a large number
of cars especially for coal trade, and
IT is said will soon place more large
orders.
Recent orders of the B. & o. for
10000 new freight cars are to be fill
ed at once and next month Will see
the delivery of a large part of the
orders.
The reports of the work of the
Fairmont Coal Company for the
month of October have been made up
and show that the shipments were
Just about half what they would have
been had the car supply been equal
to the capacity of this mining region
and the orders for Fairmont coal.
October was not at all the poorest
month for the company the past
summer, but was far short of what
could be done were the car supply
sufficient. Local officials of the coal
company are more hopeful now thar
they were two months ago and ex-
pect to get the necessary rollins
stock for some big shipments. within
the next few months.
Because of the related interests o.
the B. & o. and the Fairmont Goa
Company some coal companies op

shaded themselves that the loca'
concern was being. favored by the
railroad company and even threat
ened an Investigation, but they were
soon satisfied that all was being rur
according to law. General Man

matter. sent a special invitation tc

daily shipments made. No one came
to inspect and nothing more was
