The Public Service commission yesterday issued an
order granting three gas companies permission TO in
crease rates in such as to prohibit the gas
as fuel in industry during the winter This may
make much difference for the companies directly
cerned yesterday, but If this is indication policy
which the commission is going follow in the future,
there is for genuine alarm throughout the state
The Steptoe amendment TO the Public Service COM
mission act was passed for the purpose of protecting
industry in West Virginia but If the commission goes
very far along the line indicated in yesterdays order
there will not be much using industry left by
time the steptoe measure can be put into effect.

have added that when white men gam,

.EvANGELISTIC MEETING
A GREAT SUCCESS

The meeting at the Christian
Church is surprising all expecta-
tions in interest and results. The
church has been packed to the
doors all during the week and lar
ger crowds are expected during the
remainder of the week.
The Chorush has grown from night
to night and the people of Extra
are at last entering into the spirit
of song.
The Children's Chorus made "a
great hit Tuesday evening and they
are to have full charge Thursday
night.
Evangelist Wikoff is now getting
into his real appealing sermons and
twenty three have been added thus
far to the church while more are
expected from night to night. Bap-
tismal services are being held every
evening. The meeting will
continue over Sunday at least.
