The Monongahela Valley Traction
Company is today furnishing electric
ity for light and power to the city
of Warrington. having taken over the
plant OF the Consumers Electric Light
Company of Warrington this morn.
ing. There will be no change Of rates
the Traction Company agreeing to
furnish power at the same rates charg.
cd by the old company.
a high tension transmission line is
being built as rapidly as possible from
the sub station at Pennington to Man
nington. AS soon as this line is car
ried into the city. the plant of the Con-
sumers Company will be dismantled
and the city fed directly from the
Central station at Hutchinson. This
will give the city Of Warrington I'M.
limited electric service and will en-
courage industrial expansion in many
lines.
The change Is viewed with favor
by the people Of Warrington because
the city had grown so rapidly that the
old plan: was already taxed to capac-
lily while with the new service there
will DO practically no limit to the re.
serve that may be drawn upon.

MUMMERS PARADE
IS A BIG SUCCESS
Good Natured Orderly
Crowd FillsgMaiH Street

A swaying, teeming. singing. color

the streets of Fairmont last night,
the largest number of persons in the
history OF the city being packed into
Main street In celebration of All Hal.
lowe'en. The crowd was perhaps the
most respectable and law.abiding that
has made merry in the city for years.
The feature was the parade. longer.
gayer and brighter than even its most
enthusiastic promoters hoped for. Up
Main street II came at eight o'clock.
pressing the mob Of thousands that
filled the street. up past the court
house-there to be lost In the swirl.
ing mob OF humanity at the Jefferson
Main crossing. Because the parade
became disorganized at this point, It
was not possible for the judges to re.
view 1t in its entirety therefore the
costume prizes totaling $3.50 were not
awarded.
The big crowd was well handled
by the police and no real disorder &C.
Cured to mar the evening. The cele.
bration was the third organized effort
TO celebrate Halloween in the city
and the success last night plants 1t
firmly as the biggest day OF the year
in Fairmont.
The number OF out-of-towners pres.
ent was one Of the surprises Of the ev.
ening. Trains, street cars and automo.
biles carried thousands from the Dor.
dering districts to take part in the
revelries.

ADVANCE N WAGE
SCALE Of MINERS
Of THIS SECTION
New Schedule is Ten Per
Cent Over Old
Scale.
OPERATORS MEET HERE
Car Shortage Hampers OPP
erations Of Mines in
This Section.
OPERATORS MEET HERE

An increase of practically ten per-
I cent. In the wage scale of the miners
In this section was agreed upon yester.
day evening by the Central West vir.
ginia Coal Operators association
which was in session here. This in
crease was made voluntarily by the
operators of this region and had not
been asked by the men. This is an
effort to keep the men who are now
employed and to attract more men
from places where as good wages are
not paid.
The new wage scale will affect more
than ten thousand men IN the Fair.
mont and Clarksburg district and is
tho first raise in the pay Of the men
since early last spring. The opera.
tors state that the move is to pro.
tect themselves as coal operators in
other sections seek to draw their min.
ers away with promises OF higher pay.
The present car shortage accord.
ing to local operators only permits
them to ship from their mines about
80 per cent. Of the possible output.
This Is only sufficient to care for
about half OF the contracts OF the av.
erage operator and very little coal
can be sold In the open market. This
condition has seriously affected West
Virginia operators and they have bene.
fitted very little from the advance In
the market price of coal.
The new schedule Of wages will go
into affect at once and is as follows:
Is cents increase per day to drivers;
20 cents per day to outside laborers;
8 cents increase on car to pick miners;
2.3 cents increase on car machine; |
cent increase on car to a machine cut.
