BLUE MONDAYS AT
END IN THIS STATE
Fuel Administrator Barnes
Received Official Noti-
fcation from Garfield.

Blue Mondays are thing Of the
past as far as West Virginia is con-
cerned and probably throughout the
country. The National Fuel Admins
tration has suspended the order 'un-
til further notice. and puts it up to
the Fuel Administrator of each state
20 take the same course if deemed eA
miaistrator for West Virginia. is in
the southern part Of the state but
H. H. Rose, his executive secretary, Is
certain that this ends the ''heatleSs
Mondays" in West Virginia.
The tele Er0n to Mr.. Barnes reads.
I'm view OF the Improvement in wealth.
er and transportation conditions and
results already obtained an order was
issued SuspendiES, until further no.
tice, provisions of the Monday closing
order OF Jan. II, excepting that Sec
ton one OF said order is to continue.
in force until further notice. Each
state fuel administrator is, however.
authorized in his discretion to contfn-
ne order in force within his state If
he considers local emergency de-
mands it. II you contemplate a con-
tinuance of the order in your state
please Communicate with us immedi-
ateIy."
There is not chance OF "emergen-
cies" in west Virginia requiring a
continuance of this order which has
been minutely observed because such
course evidenced loyalty on the part
OF West Virginians and not because
the amount Of fuel saved was consid-
cred to be of sufficient quantity to
materially reduce the coal shortage.
The first thrde heatIess Mondays
were cold days and the closing OF
store did not cause so much incon-
venience in northern West Virginia as
on Monday tf this week when the en-
forced holiday was sufficiently annoy
ing to make the announcement of =
discontinuance Of the closing order
Very welcome

jenkins, president of the Central west
Virginia Coal Operators ASsoclauon'
Who is one OF the West Virginia mem
hers of the advisory board OF the pool
ing system. attended the meeting at
Cleveland and found that the pooling
system, was proving very SATISFACTORY
at most points, although the plan IS
too new yet for final passing on us
merits. The Cleveland pooling arrange
ment has shown wonderful results. IN
the past it was sometimes four OF nVe
DAYS and sometimes three weeks pc
fore cars OF coal wee delivered attef
reaching the yards and under the new
arrangement the coal is often eeiiV-
cred on the first day of its arrival and
never later than the second day. The
only complaint of the pooling system
as in effect to date came from Akron'
Ohio. where jobbers are DISSATISFIED.
There will be a gathering OF directors
of pools at various points bed at
e!fevefst1fCl ESlI llIlSI eefe at which the gem
eral director will make further reSula-
tons, which are expected to remedy
ills at Akron and smooth out the work
at other points. At the Akron gather
ing OF coal men at which it was voted
10 discontinue the pool the criticism
was aimed mainly at the management
of the pool According to the ooJec-
tors coal was consigned direct to the
factories and consumers before the
formation OF the pool and recently
there has been a re-consignment which
caused delay and tie-ups infrequent IN
der the old system. 1t was c!a:saed
that under present conditions neither
the railroads nor the pool were III pos
session of necessary information re-
garding coal shipped to Akron. Mr..
jenkins was the only coal man from
northern West Virginia at the Cleve-
land meeting but the southern part OF
the state had representation IN the
gathering of coal men.

This morning Mr.. wiege1 received
the collection lifted at the Rivesville
school. It amounted to $3.50 which is
a splendid showing.
