FROM THE FRONT
Dinner at The Fairnont Last
Night Proves Unusu-
ally Interesting.

Coal operators and men closely as
ISOLATED with the coal business in the
Fairmont district almost filled the
BANQUET room at The Fairmont last
night and the large turn out helped
materially to make the dinner given
bv the members OF the Fairmont Coal
club for the members OF the ClarSs-
burg Coal club one OF the most ENJOY
able and interesting gatherings OF coal
men ever held in the region Decd
edIy interesting and informative ao-
dresses were made by John Callahan
the transportation expert OF the Na-
tionaI Coal association. and Husn n
Snodderly, from the Baltimore ONCE
of the Consolidation Coal company,
and the short impromptu talks maze
by men called upon by a. Brooks
Fleming. JF., president OF the talrnont
Coal club who presided as toaStmaS-
ter. gave the dinner a patriotic sWlns
that accorded well with the feelings
of the diners.
The first man called upon was
Uncle Dan Howard, who presented the
acknowledgements OF the ClarksburS
operators, and OF course Gid not
neglect the opportunity to get in
word or two on his favorite topic, the
car supply. He called attention to the
telegram which the banks OF Clarks-
burg yesterday sent 10 Director Cen
eraI 4icAdoo regarding the great dam
age to the district that tie lack OF coal
cars entails and expressed the hope
that the banks of Fairmont, Phlitppl'
Grafton and all the other towns IN the
region would take similar action.
Mr.. CalIahan's address which was
highly interesting TO every msn pres
ent told Of the terrible weather condI-
ton. the railroads have had to face
during the winter and something
about the efforts that the Coal asso-
citation is making to bring about better
conditions in coal distribution in spite
OF the railroad handicap. He made II
plain that the Fairmont region IS not
the only one which is suffering
The most interesting feature OF his
talk had to do with the activities OF
John D. A. Morrow, secretary OF the
National Coal association, who has
been placed in charge of the coal pools
