.FAIRNONT REGION
WILL HAVE VOICE
IN SCALE MEETING
E For the First Time the 0p.
orators Here To Help
Frame Scale.

For the first time in the history ol
the Fairmont coal region 1t will have
look in when the coming wage
agreement is made between the oper-
ators and officials Of the United Mine
Workers Of America. Previously what
the operators of the central competi-
tive states said went, and the opera
tors representing the two-thirds of
the bituminous coal production Of the
United States and classed as "adjotn-
ing regions" automatically went
along and could not even say boo.
This time it Is different as the United
States government called the confer
ence and not the group of operators
comprising the central competitive
states organization.
In response to the invitation e1-
tended by United States Secretary Of
Labor William B. Wilson, the North
ern West Virginia Coal Operators as
ISOLATION will have three duly select
ed representatives present at the
wage conference in Washington, D.
c., ON Friday. They are: c. H. Jen-
kins, president of the association and
secretary and treasurer Of the Hutch
inson Coal company; Frank Lyon,
vice president Of the Consolidation
Coal company and in charge Of oper-
atons Of that concern, and Everett
Drennen, Elkins, Of the West Vir-
gtnia Coal and Coke comapny, who
acted as secretary of the association
representing the outlying districts Of
the United States.
Ruling on Prices.
The Fuel administration has modF
ned executive price order so that gov
ernment prices are not applicable to
bituminous coal shipped on or after
November 13 under bona 1de con-
tract enforcible at law, entered into
prior to October 13, and coal shipped
under any such contract and diverted
in transit They shall be paid for by
the party receiving the same at the
price ct which the shipper would be
entitled to bill the same to the orig
inal consignee thereof.
This information was received by
@. T. Bell, executive vice president Of
the Northern West Virginia Coal 0D-
orators association, in wire from ].
D. A. Morrow, Washington, D. c.. ex-
ecuttve vice president Of the National
Coal association.
Wednesdays Production.
There were "a cars Of coal, loaded
on the Monongah division Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad on Wednes-
day. While it is visible that the men
are not working full, 1t Is step in
the right direction. A car Of coal was
loaded by'a wagon mine,
Today's production on the division
should run fairly heavy, although
most Of the mines are working under
handicap In that sufficient men
have not reported for work.

The other evening she went to q

Grandfather saw his grandchiId ad-

NATION WAS NEVER MORE FIT
American People Have Learned MANY
Valuable Lessons Under Great
Stimulus of War,

Under the stimulus of war we have
sWeated Off mental, moral and physical
fat" says the New York Medical Jour
nal. 1--WE have been forced to curb
our appetites. We have learned to sac
rifice without complaint, to dare with
out buster, and sink our will in the
common veal. Many of us went to the
training camps flabby. We learned to
rise early, battle cold, eat plenty, work
hard, and sleep soundly. We learned
to obey promptly, to think precisely,
to work accurately, and to command
properly. One by one the vest ripples
of the body, mind and soul disappeared
and we were proud to be hard and fit
again.
There is a great lesson in all this.
Flabbiness is mans greatest sin
against himself. 1t begets sloth, fear
and seliShness. It undermines the
mind, the character the body. Is this
lesson, learned at the cost of lives
and limbs and worldwide sacrifice, to
be lost? Is the ponderous abdomen
and feeble leg of yesterday to replace
the straight front and springy carriage
of today? Are we going to shrink from
the cold bath and the hardening neces-
stiles of daily life? Or will we attack
the postwar period resolved to remain
hard and fit in body, mind and sOul?"
