OFF For Washington
c. II. Jenkins president of the
Northern West Virginia. Coal Opera
tors Association, and G. T. Bell, ex.
ecutive vice president of the organi-
cation, let last evening for Washing
ton, D. c., They will attend the hear
ing incident to the Frelinghuysen
resolution calling for the investiga-
ton Of the industry.
Fairmonters feel no concern over
the investigation because they be-
lieve that the coal industry is one
OF the few things that profitee.ing
has not been connected with as far
as the operators are concerned.
1t Is probably that lhessrs. jenkins
or Bell and perhaps both may go on
the stand to testify before the Senate
lntercommerce Committee, which is
investigating the industry.
