however, uses twice as much coal as
the Cuban did and IL 1t is possible to

was decided last summer as matters

The last two bottle machines are
being remodelled for producer gas.
Workmen are busy on this at the pres.
ent time. The oil system installed last
summer is IN excellent working order
and can be turned on in extreme cases.
It has only been used once or twice to
take care of great lack in gas and It
has only been installed for such ex-
tremes. Fairmont gas is being used
at the plant now and this is sufficient
most OF the time during this sort OF
weather. Some Philadelphia gas is
being used also. The Owens people
here are still running on their old gas
contract which saves them on IN
creased rates.

COAL Mining
CONTINUED from page one.)

There are two activities that are
helping greatly TO move surplus coal
They are the shipments to the lakes
and the inficx Of foreign business. Cur
tbs Bay shipments last month increas
ed almost 800 loads over March's to-
tai.
Hard for 3. & o. to Answer.
} Impressions are general among the
coal operators Of the Fairmont region
that there are not beng handed a
square deal by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and today there was Just as
much talk along these lines as there
was earlier In the week. The outstand-
ing fact, the coal operators say is that
other railroads can take care of the
operators along their lines and the
B. q o. cannot and yet they are all be-
ing operated under the same general
head and system. This Is hard nut
to crack and one that the B. & o. Off
Gals will have some time explaining.
Concealment of facts and figures
concerning railroad fuel purchases
does not help the B. q o. any and the
sooner the road comes out in the open
ana plays a square deal the quicker
the quicker the alleged "veil of secre-
cy" surrounding railroad business will
be rent IN twain and the coal opera
tors will have chance TO see what
Is what.
1t took long time before the oper.
ators had figures submitted TO them by
the B. & o. so that they could com.
pare them with what the B. & o.
handed out to operators in other fields,
