West Virginia May Be Hurt.
A most Interesting development in
the rate situation, and one that nearly
all the coal operators In West Virginia

Of 15 cents a ton. The Pennsylvania
road is said to be about to increase this
differential to 40 cents. the object be-

The West Virginia operators are
threatening to descend on the White

Now. long before most of us In Dakota
