Will Act On Protest.

Tho protest OF tho West Virginia coal
operators organizations. thu States Sen
atorS and Representatives IN Congress,
Governor Cornwell and various other
business associations against the cmhar-
60 which Director nf Railroads Walker
u. Hines arbitrarily placed on the coal
product If West NirIiniu. is expected 10
he passed OIL by that Official within the
next few days. MIR. Hines has stated
TINT hr would make known his decision
within the week.
Tho case is an unusual one. without
parallel. So far rs is known. Director
Hines announced not long ago that no
coal would bc used by the railroads from
mines west and south Of tn" Ohio river.
the effect being In deprive West Virginia
and Kentucky mines of Il market that
they have long enjoyed. and turn il over
entirely 10 Ohio mine operators. Ac-
cnrdinC to the West Virginia Kentucky
operators some decidedly tlimsy excus-
-. have been offered for this contem-
plated action. which they say is unjust
and Il blow at thr business prosperity Of
their state One is that the Ohio mines
are practically closed down and labor
unrest makes il necessary Ia open them
up. Tho West Virginia operators. while
not denying Ohio conditions. say that
tho same conditions virtually prevail in
West Virginia.
There is nothing wrong with the
West Virginia coal. As everybody
knows who knows anything about coal.
il is The best steam coal produced. Nor
is II question 1uf price. Tho ma i'll cnn-
sid"rarion. the operators say involved Is
that Mr.. Hines either personally or act
ing for some other interests. proposes
Ia favor Ohio nj tho expense Of the
ncighhnring coal producing states on
tho opposite side Of the Ohio river.
Should nc persist in doing this over the
innumrruhlc and vigorous protests that
have hcon made. a hig part OF West
Nireinia's coal market will be- sliced
