STRIKE
of Coal Miners in Wales May
Make Mining More Lively
in This Section.

If the strike of the Welsh coal
miners is as serious as the press dis
patches have 1t. there will be an in
creased demand for American coal on
the part of England and her allies
and in this the Fairmont region will
share. This was the opinion in coal
circles last night. but the extent OF
the benefit could not be predicted un-
til additional details of the labor
troubles in Wales are learned. Local
coal men today also discussed re-
port of Baltimore and Ohio officials,
who claim that the tonnage from this
state at the present time is little
of, owing to the shortage of 1aborers.
An Investigation. 1t is claimed. re-
vealed the fact that over 5000 ltal-
ian miners have left West Virginia
for Italy to enter the army and navy.
Locally it is said that the absence OF
those who left for the war is not ser
iously felt.
The British navy. which is burning
a lot of coal at this time. depends
upon the Welsh mines for its supply
If the present strike gains the pro
portions where this supply will be cut
Off. England will be forced to place
her orders for coal for the feet in
