Scattered about the city there are CNl
er cases but none of them particularly
serious, said DR.. Criss this morning.
All of the cases are under quarantine,
with Jack Griffith who used to be on
the police force number Of years
ago, acting as quarantine agent.
Scarcely a day passes that Mr.. Grit
fifth does not pay a visit to the police
station where he finds his large cards.
These he places on houses where the
disease Is prevalent and all precau-
tions are being taken to prevent faml-
lies with the disease in the house
from minglipg with others.
The situation is not at all alarm
ing. At this time Athe year diseases
of some sort attack people. Last year
lust at this time it was influenza.
The year before 1t was smallpox and
the year before 1t was infantile paral-
ysis. Since the world began, agreed
DR.. Criss, diseases have been prevn-
lent, and ", situation in Fairmont

Especial Dispatch to West virginian.)
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. o.
While the National Coal Association is
not a legislative body and therefore its
recommendations would not be bind
ing, nevertheless, the majority of the
members appear to favor fiat refusal
of the United Mine Workers demands
which they term exorD!tant That a
firm stand will be taken against the
lessening of the working day to six
hours and the week TO five days is
apparent and this will probably be act
ed upon at an executive session late
today.
Operators unquestionably will op-
pose the free powder clause and the
removal of any penalty affixed in cases
where miners break their contracts.
Quite few operators argue that the
contract does not terminate until the
actual signing Of the peace treaty and
that the powers of the Fuel admins
tration still hold sway. 1t is the opin-
ion of some coal men that the heads
of the union could be entoined in a
court of justice should orders be is
sued for the miners to strike.
An adjourned meeting of the joint
conference Of the operators and miners
is called for Philadelphia today and
e. s. Mccullough, labor commissioner
of the Northern West Virginia coal
Operators Association, expects to leave
for that city today Opinion is gem
eral that because the 165,OOO anthra-
cite miners extended their contract un-
Il April, 1920, that the bltuminous
workers should do likewise.
Northern West Virginia operators
have been assured that the coal dump
ing at Curtis Bay will be improved and
the serious detriment to coal shipments
there viii be renewed. This has been
brought about by the visitation Of a
number of Fairmont operators to CIV.

SUGAR SENT TO FRANCE.

One Of the principal causes of the shortage

the present plight of our people could have
been avoided Housewives who are refused
their mite of sugar at the grocers' stores may
be interested in learning that the war depart
ment has arranged to send twenty-seven million
pounds of sugar to France to be sold at bargain
rates. It is stated that the sending of this
sugar to France is ga part Of Secretary Baker s
policy of sending supplies abroad to keep from

day the Hartman National bank published a
paid advertisement asserting that the surplus
war material recently sold by the United States
to France included twenty two million pounds
of sugar. 1T is obvious, - said the advertise
ment, that inquiry need go not far to discern
that the high cost of living is in great measure
due to the inefIiciency of official Washington. -
The advertisement added that the war ma
terial ''sold for about four hundred million dol
lars and estimated to be worth one billion seven
hundred and fifty million dollars included al
most every thing in the list essential to pres
ent day needs. The report Of the committee on
expenditures of the war department to be made
to congress should show precisely why so valu-
able a quantity of material was virtually pre-
scented to France at the expense of the Ameri-
can taxpayers
Great business!
