STU ALTON UNIMPROvED
IN UTHWEST COAL FIELDS

BRISTOL. VA, October 1870 far
as local consumers are concerned. the
coal situation in the Southwest Virginia
fields is slow to clear up. Local oper-
ators say that they are allowed to fill
contracts already in existence. and
when they are approached for coal by
local consumers upon the rate schedule
fixed by the commission. they have no
coal TO sell upon that basis. Thus.
local consumers are unable to secure
from the Bristol coalyards any coal
apparently upon the basis fixed by the
commission. 1t is only those who are
ready and willing to pay $3.50 and 81
per ton for lump coal delivered at
their homes that are receiving de-
liveries
