saturday evenings issue OF The
Pennington Advertiser contained the
6oHoWinR report Of the aftermath OF
fhe meeting of the West Virginia Coal
aesocfation which was held In that
city last week:
GIVE me a place in the trenches"
exclaimed C.. H jenkins, chairman OF
fhe mass meeting of coal operators OF
the state held at the Frederick hotet
Fzriday I'm which the state organlza-
ton was perpetuated By methods
which insure the elimination OF et-
fort which has been spread over three
or four years. ~,
lowing the afternoon session OF coal
GENERATORS. when the differences OF the
inherent districts seemed to be para
mount In the purposes OF those as
Eembled. He talked differently after
Tie night session when the meeting
finally adjourned with the assurance
that q state organization had been per
fected which would cement all difter-
ences and put coal operators assocla-
tions Of the state of West Virginia in
formation for service either In war
work or in business effort. which has
become practically the same thing IN
war times
The general talk has been for
months that coal opratoSs and miners
could serve their country better IN
West Virginia than they could over
IA France and 1t was this line Of argu-
uent which provoked Mr.. jenkins,
generally very quiet man, to this ut
terance He felt that a fellow in the
trenches knew where the enemy was
and could strike at him in general
way while he complained that the man
engaged In organizing the coal indus
Try for efficient effort did not know
what he was fighting and where to
q. n: Caperton. Of Charleston, one
OF the members OF the retiring execu-
tive committee of the West Virginia
Coal Association, made practically the
same points IN his remarks at the
afternoon session OF coal operators
when he said that jealousies were
growing mp among coal districts IN
Z west Virginia and that feeling was be
ing eyinced. pointing out that 1t was
no fault Of districts or individuals bHt
result Of conditions. I've. are Try
ing under conditions that MARE It al
