B CLEVELAND, Jan. s6.-Withf the
announcement here today that the
Lorrain Coal and Dock Company had
purchased 1900 acres of coal land
In West Virginia and planned to de-
yelop 1t at once, it was learned Of
ficially that j. w. Johnson, superin-
tendent Of the Blaine mine of the
company. has been transferred to
the West Virginia field, where he
will have charge Of the new property.
It was stated t1at no superinten-
dent will be appointed to succeed
Mr.. johnson ut the Blaine mine, at
learst In the near future. Judge
n. "A. Wildemuth. second vicespresi-
dent Of the Lorrain Coal and Dock
Company, would neither confirm nor
deny the report that the purchase Of
the West Virginia property meant
abandonment of any Of the COM
lpany's Ohio mines. He also de-
fclined to discuss the purchase OF
West Virginia property other than
to confirm 1t. Whether other Ohio
mines Of the Lorrain Coal and Dock
Company are operated in the near
future depends on whether strikers
are willing to accept the wage scale
offered them, 1t was stated.
With a new mine In the West Vir-
lginia fields to operate, this COM
pany Is not disposed to import non.
unions to Its Ohio holdings, opera
