WILLIE JACKSON IS
WANTED FOR DRAFT
Local Board Has Not Heard
From Him For Some
Time.

Friends OF Willie Jackson should
notify him that he is to become a SOL
der and is now wanted by Uncle Sam.
Jackson is among the ten colored men
that are supposed to leave Fairmont
Saturday for Camp Lee. The local
draft board has been able to locate all
OF the ten men with the exception of
Jackson.
When registering, Jackson was en-
Iployed by the Consolidation Coal COM
pany. He was registered by T. A.
Hunsaker, registrar. Since his regis
tration he has been doing mining
work along the Monongahela railroad.
l: Is not probable that Jackson means
to get away from service, but that he
has not received his call to service,
and consequently does not know that
he Is wanted. For this reason any of
his friends should make it point to
see that he reports to the local board
not later than Saturday morning of
this week.
Captain Kemble White this morn
ing received official information from
Charleston that the Fairmont quota
would leave this city on train No. IL,
which leaves at 5:15 O'Clock.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. o.
There is pending before Fuel Admin.
lstrator Garfield an appeal from the
mine owners of the Fairmont region
for such an increase in price at the
mines which will cover the wage de.
mand made upon them by the miners.
The miners ask increases similar to
those which recently were granted in
the central competitive field. II these
demands OF the miners are complied
with. the operators contend that from
Is to 80 cents will be added to the
cost Of production, and have filed
with DR.. Garfield cost sheets in sup.

field hits the nail squared yon the
head, so far as the industry in West
Virginia Is concerned, so the operat.
ors heer from that State say today.
The first and foremost trouble, the
statement says, is lack of sufficient
number of cars to carry away the
coal. This has been the contention OF
the West Virginia operators from the
first, and practically their only con.
tention, exceptiong, OF course, that
the reigning price schedule is unfair
to them. Sufficient labor with which
to keep their mines going has not
been source of much bother to them
as a general proposition. But insult.
fcient number Of cars to load has
been. DR.. Garfield comedies this. He
puts the need of cars first, patriotic
