MUST Be SAVING
. Of COAL SUPPLY
DURING THE WAR
State Fuel Administrator
Barnes is Getting Line on
Situation.

Conservation OF coal could hardly
be taken seriously at first in ~ ST
Virginia, where many farmers have
mines on their places and residents
often have coal at their very back
doors. But J. Walter Barnes, newly
appointed fuel administrator for this
state. is devoting much time to anal
yyzing suggestions which come to MIN
for the conservation of fuel. The ne
cessity of such action is emphasized
in his instructions from Washington,
and it is urged that wastage of fuel
must be rectified and also consump-
ton OF coal for non-essential purposes
ii iich limitation is styled most
available" and Is promised to bring
quicker results"
The official announcement says:
Many activities which involve large
consumption Of fuel and many meth
eds of using this fuel which are per-
fectly legitimate in times of peace
will be found susceptible of changes
which involve very slight sacrifice of
material interests but offer opportrn-
ty for considerable saving of fuel"
The complaints that have reached
Mr.. Barnes so far have been largely
by phone andwhen government blanl:s
were sent to be filled out 1t has been
learned that the need was not so i'm
portant as to cause uneasiness. The
Wheeling Electric company complain
ep that 1t could get the coal IL It could
get the cars and was notified that cars
would be gotten there in the event
that the allotment had not been eS-
'ceeded.
Coal Notes.
New members OF the Central West
Virginia Coal Operators association
taken In last week are: Therma Coal
Co.. s!orell Coal Co.. Fl. Pitt Coal Co..
Rachel Coal Co. and Paleb Coal Co.
A prominent railroad official looks
for the government to rule that luxu.
ries cannot be handled by freight un-
til the war ends or transportation
conditions show a marked change for
the better. Ornamental clocks, for
instance, could wait shipment rather
than have ammunition factory short II
coal. Ornamental clocks are not
ishipped in coal cars, but their move
pient requires motive power and
trackage needed for handling more
important things.
A press dispatch from Northumber-
land in England tells of certain war
bonds owned by mine workers being
burned, making present to the ma
ton of the money involved.
The first coal from Lockview mine
at Lock No. . near Morganotwn was
loaded last week. The company is
now prepared to load four or five cars
n day and will soon have daily ca
pacity of ten cars. The company owns
81 acres of the Pittsburgh vein, nine
feet thick, near the Pennsylvania lire.
There are three openings. The coal
is conveyed by tramway across the
county road to a chute. where it is
dumped and allo.."d to flow into a
large bin some distance away.
Railroads are placing In the field
armed guards to prevent the stealing
of their coal by piecemeal along the
roads entering Cincinnati. In several
instances full cars at the mines have
arrived at destination as flights -
froma third to half of the coal hav-
ling mysteriously disappeared en-
route.
