BULL TIN
Is Issued by the Traffic Depart.
ment of the CIarksburg
Board of Trade.

The traffic bureau of the Clarksburg
Boar dof Trade has just issued the
following bulletin:
The uniform bill of lading is filed
by the carriers in official classifica-
ton territory, with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as part OF
the classification, present issue OF
which. effective July I, 1913 and filed
is /. c. &C. Go and Section OF
the conditions of the uniform bill of
lading found on~paSe "a, carries the
following clause:
Claims for loss, damage or delay
must be made in writing to the carrier
at the point of delivery or at the point
of origin within four months after
delivery of the property, or in case
of failure to make delivery, then
within four months after reasonable
time for delivery has elapsed. Unless
claims are so made, the carrier shall
not be liable"
Carriers generally have heretofore
been quite tolerant with this rule, but
the commission through a letter from
Commissioner Marble to the general
solicitor of the Chicago and Alton
railrotd, states that no discretion is
given to the commission by which 1t
may excuse carriers for failure to COM
ply with their published traits, and
that the commission does not feel any
more free to suggest a departure from
the tariffs in the matter of four months
limitation than in the case of other
tariff provisions.
Under the rulings Of the commits
sion, THEREFOR it is probable that car
ricrs will insist on strict compliance
with the provisions of the tarih, and
it was thought advisable to give some
publicity 10 this provision for the in
formation of our shippers and possibly
avoid future losses.

OIL PRODUCERS
NOW ORGANIZED
Association is Formed TO Break
Up Alleged Price Control by
the Standard.

For mutual protection against mo-
nopoly and the promotion OF their in
terczts. independent oil producers of
Harrison, Lewis, Doddridge Wood,
Richie, Wetzel and other central and
northern West Virginia oil producing
counties have affected a permanent
organization under The title of the

ducers' Association,
The officers OF the association are
Oiandus West, pres!d ent; Dorsey w.
Cork vice president; and Roy E.
Parrish secretary and treasurer; all

laws consists of Dorsey w. Cork, Os-
man Z, Swartz and Roy Il. Parrish.
Among the business transacted at
the organization meeting. which was
held Wednesday night in the assem-
bly, hall OF the Waldo hotel, was the
affirmation of recent action by u COM
nlttee representing the association in
asking West Virginia members of
Congress to urge a federal investtsa-
ton OF the recent reductions in the
price OF West Virginia and Pennsyi-
vania oil, which Independent oil pro-
ducers declare are unwarranted.
The following statement was au-
thorized for publication by the as
ISOLATION:
The independent operators take the
position that the cuts in oil in the
West Virginia field are not justified,
but are arbitrarily made because the
Standard ON Company controls the
situation.
The Standard has not even assigned
a. reason for the reduction. 1t gave
the cause for cutting the price of the
western oil as overprod uctIon and lack
of storage facilities. but this is not
the cause with the eastern produc-
ton.
The expectation OF crude oil and its
products for March, 1914, was over
q. OOO, 900 gallons moro than for
March. 1911 5, with a va luc of $s49 900.
The expectations for nine months end
ing March 81, 1914. had q value OF
S14,412.232 more than for the like
period ending in 1918.

afternoon, at Grafton and simpson
Tuesday night and who 1t was dis
covered Wednesday afternoon was in
hiding in an air shaft of the Moore
mines east Of the city
The sheriff was informed yesterday
afternoon that Paulette was in hiding
in the mines and he at once sent a
number OF men TO the scene to keep a
close watch on the opening to see
that no one entered or left the mines
by that way. The other entrances or
the mines were also guarded so that
Paulette could not escape. After sew
eral hours diligent watching the
guards were surprised to see three
men approaching the entrance OF the
mines with a bucket and package.
When the guard ordered the men to
halt they refused and it was only
when several shots had been fred at
them that they stopped running and
were placed under arrest. When
searched It was found that the pack
age contained a loaf of bread and
that, the bucket was filled with food.
Inc men WOul0 nOt o%~J AOt3OA
they had the supplies for.
About an hour later two more
italians were seen approaching the
entrance but as only one guard was
there at the time he was unable to
capture them. The men arrested are
friends Of PauIetta.
sheriff Stout found another entrance
to the mines this morning that was
not guarded last night, and from indt-
cations 1t appears that several men
had entered and left the mines
through this opening. 1t Is not q
