Those in West Virginia Do.
ing Much to Help Win
the War.

When the war is over il will be
found that coal operators, mine su.
perintendents, sssiners and mine.work-
ers will receive full credit for import.
ant work in association with the gov
eminent and coal people will have al
right to be proud of a position in the
front line in handling a basis COM
modify, without which the war could
not have been waged to successful
conclusion, according to Earl A. Hen
ry, chief OF the Department of Mines
of West Virginia, who is in Fairmont
today.
The present series of anoyances
and irritations are expected by Mr..
Henry to pass at an early date and
as rapidly as coal people know what
the government requires Of them, 1t
will be performed. Mr.. Henry admits
that DR.. H. A. Garfield, national fuel
administrator, has big task before
him in attempting. a solution Of. alb.
normal conditions in supplying the
fnel needs OF the country and regrets
; the scarcity OF labor and poor car
supply that prevents West Virginia
coal operators from getting out less
than 9o000.000 tons of coal annually
when the development warrants full.
ly 125,00O.0OO tons.
West Virginia coal operators are
second to none in the United States"
says Mr.. Henry. I'm the four years
that have been chief of the depart.
ment, have not made ruling that
was not cheerfully obeyed by coal op.
orators and l have found that coal
men are enterprising, spending money
freely for improvements which aid In
sanitation and safety. 1t is to be re.
GREETED that the public does not know
better what the coal people are doing
in West Virginia, and see in the
tendency of The West Virginian and
other state papers to give coal more
attention. an innovation in news.mat-
ter which is certain to mean great
things for the. state. The coal men
have ntohing to hide and an intimate
acquaintance with their business on
the part of the public will work for
good all around. Coal operat..s are
Just as patriotic as any other class OF
our people"
Mr.. Henry says that coal develop.
ments in Logan, Wyoming, and Boone
county are Just as numerous as in
Marion, Harrison and Monongalia,
that Clay and Gilmer counties enjoy
brisk development and that the rea.
son there are few new operations
along the Norfolk and Western is that
present producers have the major
part of the desirable coal land and
present operations meet, vail practical
requirements.
