Nou Adequate
SERVICE MUCH IMPROVED SINCE
PRESIDENT WILLARD WAS
HERE ON INSPECTION.

One Of the improvements noticed
since the u. & o. officials made their
inspection trip through the Fair
mont region is the increased car sup
ply for the mines. AT that time To-
cal operators took the matter UP
with President Willard and Third
Vice President Thompson. who PROM
ised that they would do all they
could to give the operators a supply
OF empties that would be adequat.
to the output OF coal In this field.
For the past week the operators
have not had any trouble from an
inadequate supply, and the mines
have been running on full time. 1t
shows conclusively that President
Willard and Vice President Thomn-
son kept their promises in mind and
acted accordingly.
With the mines running full time
there Is plenty OF work in this part
OF the state. Friday will be pay day
with the Consolidation No. Com.
pany, and at that time there will he

among the men employed Dy thar

come to the local merchants in the
