Coal production in the Fairmont re.
gion will be affected today because Of
a landslide occurring on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and; a wreck on the
Monongahela railroad.
This morning the movement Of emp.
ties on the M. r. branch OF the Bal
timore and Chic railroad was inter-
fered with owing to landslide which
occurred at Haywood. Fourteen mines
in the region lost cars because of this
line being tied up. OF these seven
were operations Of The Consolida
Coal company. Passenger trains 6s
and So between Fairnont and Clarks.
burg had to be run around by Grafton,
which caused considerable delay.
\. At Monon this morning the coal train
Of the Monongahela railroad had four
cars derailed, which affected traffic
and made IL impossible for mines
south Of that point to receive cars.
Mines in that neighborhood, Just down
the river piece, were in lucky and
received more than their share, which
OF; course will be equalized later in the
week. 81 4 (, ,Ss
