1t over on one of the shelves. When
there was a breathing spell ore Of
the girls picked up the bundle and
noticed there was no address on it.
.sWhat can there be in it so

The bundle was not opened.
Late in the evening woman came
a-bustling in and asked If a pack

had made the rounds of half a
dozen stores. 1t WAS handed to
her. She did not even thank the
store folks, but rushed out after
exclatming, DO you know what IS
in that bundle? There is $1,74S

For the first time in the history OF
the coal industry in the Fairmont re-
gion general strike is on. There
have been strikes of a local nature,
but never has there been one of such
magnitude and scope as the present
one.
No mines in the entire region are
working today. The United Mine
Workers of America have held their
forces intact. No disorder has mark
ed the strike and none Is anticipated.
There is the best of feeling here now
and few operations are being policed.
whistles were blown this morning
as usual, but the men did not report,
Coal cars were brought into there
gion and placed as is customary, but
there is little evidence Of many II any
being loaded at all.

This lay-of will affect from $50 to
to 175. Most Of the coal that was
loaded at the mines has been moved
to the B. & o. yards, where most of
it was retained. There are now prob
