luckily the bad car supply has cut
transportation down so that the 70
per cent shortage in man power will
not be felt very much. Quite a few
OF the men are sick, but some are
believed to be playing 'possum on the
work stuff due to the Christmas holi-
days and partially due to the fact that
Tuesday was pay day.
Travel over the B. & o. railroad is
heavy today, although it runs about
the same as last year.

proper Christmas packages went
in all directions and required some
searching out before all were back
again in the arms Of their owners
All during yesterday and today the
skies remained dull and cloudy, a
heavy gray curtain shutting out the
sun most of the time. A temperature
of some distance above zero made
walking difficult due to the melting
snow. Through serving as a handi-
cap shoppers hundreds filled the
stores, tracking in much wet and
mud and Christmas conversation and
happy laughter. Stores everywhere OF
all kinds, especially the drug stores
did a rushing business with every
body n a good humor, perfectly will
ing to- carry small packages and even
large ones, nobody minding the
pushes and jolts and nearly every
body shouting above the din Merry
Christmas, 81 didn't send you any
present this year!" ooh, that's all
right, didn't either-just sent cards!
Up to the last minute tonight the
crowds will fill the streets and shops
and it will be with the usual happy
sigh of relief that the tired clerks
close up tonight and draw over the
much riEled wares the long, cotton
curtain which means rest for both
wares and those who served faith
fully until Friday.

Banks Help Out.
With large sums of money tied up
with the railroad coal operators are
having some difficulty in meeting
pay rolls and smaller operators have
been greatly affected by the tis-up.
Some local banks, it is understood,
have helped out temporarily to bridge
over the situation in hope that the
government will soon square its obi
cations with the coal operators.
Probably as many as 5000 cars OF
coal were confiscated in the FairmOnt
district by the railroad administra-
tion prior to, during and after the

greater portion has not vet been set
tied for.
The Baltimore & Ohio and Phila-
delphia and Reading railroads appear
to he the "sloWest' pay Of the COM
Ipanies that receive large tonnage In
the Fsirmont region. Due to the fact
that Fairmont coal is generally used
for railroad fuel this section is par
ticalIy hard hit by the hold-up in
payments. Unless the railroad adj
ministration sends money forthwith
the smaller operators will be finance
ally embarrassed before long.
That the confiscation is proving a
tangle is quite certain as many oper-
ators have not as yet learned the
final destionation Of their coal, which
was confiscated some weeks ago.
