The Warning 20 Operators.
Yesterday mention was made OF a
warning which was issued by Fuel
Administrator Garfield regarding the
paying OF bonuses 10 miners. That
letter is as follows:
All Concerned: Information Is
reaching me that coal operators
are bidding against each other
for labor by payment Of bonuses.
This inevitably causes unrest and
shifts. but does not Increase the
total production Of coal. Maxi.
mum production Is essential 10
the successful conduct OF the war
and for the welfare OF the boys
IN the trenches. The democracy
we are seeking TO establish at
home and abroad demands that
maximum production be based on
an arrangement fair to all con.
cerned-tO all mine workers, all
operators and all the public.
The payment Of bonuses in any
form Is contrary to the spirit Of
the wage agreements made by

Directors of New Coal AS
ISOLATION to Meet in
ClarkSburg.

There are 721 coal cars in the re-
gion today This is the worst day in
long time. and the trouble seems
to be that the Baltimore and Ohio
has either on its own VOliton or at
the request OF the Fuel administra.
ton Overdone the coal movement east
with the result that the cars are all
tied up on the other side OF the
mountains.
Mines on the Monongah division
Of the Baltimore and Ohio can load
between LEGO and 1900 cars n day
withoG, straillng their resources even
as the labO. situation now stands
II has been done when the car supply
made Il possible. For instance on
the last three days OF last month,
1872 cars were loaded Monday. 1,095
on Tuesday and 1884 on Wednesday.
II is the cyirion Of local coal men

conditions tina. il this had been di.
vided M by sending about $50 cars
west there would have been nc
blockade IN the cas-. which is no.
preventing this region from getting
an adequate number OF enPties.
The belief is pretty generally heli
here that the effort ether should be
to supply this region NitE loo or
1900 cars a day and take a tho1sanG
of them east and the rest west, or 20
back TO the policy which psrtained
some time ago os issuing shipping or

Some coal has been going west
from this region this week-252 cars

the car supply was progressively

Touching Story of Food Needs
 in France From Arkansas Boy
Nephew of Food Administrator Hamp Williams Writes of Dire Need of Food Among People of Devastated
 Nation-Tells of Children Begging of Troops

We hear much of food conservation these days, and of the needs of our allies. We are all doing our part in saving food for the men across the seas. but at the same time it is all so far away that there is a certain amount of unrehlity about the tales Of suffering in Europe. But an ap- peal in a personal letter, direct from one of cur boys in France brings home to us just how great is tae dis tress in thei war stricken nations, and how much aid is really needed. The letter is from a 19 year old bu9Ier with Pershing's forces, Herbert Viii Hams Kelly, whom State Food Ad- ministrator Hanp Williams affect ionately refers to as "my little red aded nephew"
 Shortly after he was appointed state food administrator, Mr. Will Hams wrote his nephew, asking for some first hand information on con ditions. The young mans reply fol laws:

 It will be great pleasure to me to give you what meagre information have acquired concerning the food situation in France.

$75O,OOO COTTON SALE
 MADE BY CONWAY MAN

Conway, Feb. 9.-A sale Of 4,t00 bales of cotton, involving a consider stion of $750,000, said to be the lar9- est single sale ever made in Arkan- sas, has just been closed by 5. G. Smith, local cotton dealer, with the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Company or St. Louis. Three bales at present are being given local storage, but Will be moved to the mills as soon as they can be cleared. At tie same time, D. o. Harton, second local dealer, sold to the Lessa1-Goldman Company 320 bales. The buyers were represented in the transaction by .n-eo Hamberg, their local agent
 / The figure, it is believed, sets a new mark for the entire state. It marks a big increase over MT. Smiths first big sale three years ago, in which the consideration was So00.- 900, and also move upward from his 1917 sale of $600,000. The cotton involved in the present sale repre- sents a big per cent of tae countys total crop for 1917.
