been formed with an authorized cap
ital stock Of 100000, and the in
are Ben Exley, H. Il.

Mr.. White will move here from Salem
and manage the business.
Mr.. ExIey is president of The Ohio
Valley Drug Company of wheeling,
in which Messrs Buchanan and Oster-
ling are also Interested.
While the Clarksburg Drug Com
pany is not a subsidiary of the
Wheeling company, the interest Of
the two will nevertheless be closely
allied and the financial strength and
of the former to con-
siderable extent will insure the sue
cess of the new company. This deal
came up through the home board Of
trade about six weeks ago and var
ious buildings and properties were
Inspected, resulting in the lease Of
about $4,000 square feet of floor
space from Mr.. Leggett in the Central
storage company's building where q
large stock of drugs will be placed,
representing an approximate invest
ment of $4,000. The new company
will also bring into Clarksburg four
or FIVE families and will employ
twelve to fifteen people. Mr.. Exley
declined to make any statement as to
the probable volume of business but
ample capital is available to take care
of the drug trade of this section.

may agree on prices was advocated BY
John Mitchell, former president OF the
United Mine Workers of America, to-
day before the federal commission on
Industrial relations. He argued that
the government should have super
vision over such an arrangement.
Forty per cent Of all coal mined in the
United States was wasted, he said.

Mr.. Mitchell thought federal in
