Oppose Permits.
AT its meeting yesterday the direc-
tors of the Northern West Virginia
Coal Operators Association went on
record as being opposed to the per-
NIT system in the handling Of ex==
port coal The particular objection
is to the designation Of the particular
mine on the permit. Operators due to
the uncertainty of bottoms are some
times obliged to take coal from other
mines in haste and this particular
form hinders any speedy action OF this
sort. The plan also interferes with
coal jobbing. Objection will be. filed
by the association with H. B. Voor-
hees, general superintendent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Bal.
timore.
objection is also made against se-
cret methods used in the distribution
of permits. All permits should be
made public the operators believe, and
while they have no particular public
ity plan to suggest they believe the
names OF firms having export permits
granted to them might be carried
daily on the circular letter OF the su-
perintendent Of the Monongah divt-
sion.
