to the fact th3t the work is not being
continued along the carretera, but in
ne harrlO known as Tallers, and also
IN Cerra Street the public has not had
such a good chance to watch it's progress.
Few srealize what a large district Ia

has been our aim to widen the street
and put in the sewerage together so
that each contrast would be complete
when finished. Accordingly, sewerage
vas completed to Stop Is, and Ponce de
Leon Avenue was Widened to that point.
After that we branched off to the
IaIlerS district, as conditions were
very insanitary in this region, because
OF the lack OF sewerage. A fine drain
age system has already been established
which collects al! waters from Cnrra
Street, and causes them to pass through
the big sewer which runs out into Mar
tin Peoa Channel. In connection with
this job, the big clay pipe which once
served as a DIR image has been changed
to an immense concrete sewer.
This section of Santurce is much
more densely populated than any one
dreams of, said Mr.. R~odrigues''. and
presents a much more alarming situa-
ton than other parts of Santurce, be-
cause those living in the more desira-
BILE districts make it a point to have
good ~cesspods, and there is not the
danger Of infection and disease due to
bad drainage that there is in those re-
gions where the poorer classes live.
There are a great many mosquitoes, it is
true, he added, and there will he I'M
til the entire sewerage system is com
plete, but we must take the work sec
ton by section, and leave it in good
shape before we go on to another Sec
tom.
1t is hoped that the work of widening
Ponce de Leon Avenue will begin again
in June. This contract is to cover the
section of Ponce de Leon Avenue from
Stop Is to Stop 81. In speaking of the
work entailed in this contract Mr.. Rod
riguez explained that there are 119
houses and lots affected by the widen
ing of the Avenue.
All property owners have consented
to the plans laid out by the city engineers
Office, and have ceded the right of way
to the city, but this does not in any way
lessen the work which will have to be
done by those of US Who have the work in

"a houses in this s. Ion that will have
to be cut almost in two. 1t is up to us

1t is understood that much annoy.
ance has been caused to the local
office OF the United Mine Workers
by the miners taking matters into
their own hands for settlement.
This is contrary to the best inter
ests of the organization as well as
violation of the contract, which
requires all matters OF dispute 10

.PYTHIAN SISTERS
WILL HELP THE
FOREIGN WOMEN
Miss Mllie Evans Was
Given Ring at Yester-
days Session

The degree staff Of the Farm
ington Lodge Of the Pythian Sis
tiers did all the initiating as the
District Two convention last even
ing and deserve much credit for
the excellent and artistic manner
in which this most interesting part
of Yesterdays program was COM
pleted. The taking into member
ship Of five men and three ladies
was truly most important part OF
the entire days happenings. All
day the eight persons in question
lived in anticipation and today
their lips are sealed as regards the
ceremony which made them tull
fiedged Knights and Ladies. The
general public guesses something
particularly nice happened to
them"
Ali day yesterday the crowds of
Pvthian Sisters and their friends
came and went, with headquarters
on the top floor of the American
Building. The quarterly conven-
ton which took place was a huge
success from every standpoint. The
next convention will occur IN
Clarksburg in December when the
same number of Temples will be
represented as yesterday, twenty
five in all.
Two very touching incidents oc-
Cured following the afternoon pro:
gram which while mainly personal
added much to the humanness of
the days events. Miss Millie X.
Evans, of this city, who presided
at the sessions, was presented with
a very beautiful pink sapphire
ring. The ring was given to her
by the districts she has been work
ing with for five years and the
presentation so touched Miss
Evans that she could find no words
for adequate thanks. She tried to
say something appropriate but the
words would not come. Yester-
day CHANGED to be the birthday of
the grand chief, Mrs. Nettie Stall
inRs, and as surprise for her she
was presented with beautiful
bunch of red roses. Mrs. Stallings
responded in her usual happy man.
ner saying she was sixteen years
of age and feeling not day older;
Mrs. Mary George, past grand
chief, presented both gifts.
At this stage of the game Miss
Evans summoned courage and de-
clared she was old enough to vote
herself, if she couldn't say any
thing else. Both Sisters were deep
ly grateful for the remembrances.
Some very splendid resolutions
were adopted, among them q reso-
luton that this year the foreign
women in the Pythian Sister dis:
tricts be given much thought and
aid. 1t was suggested that some
work should be done among this
class of women in an effort to help
them become good American citi-
Lens and also happied in their
homes. It was suggested that
small bands of Pythian Sisters be
formed in different sections OF the
districts to help in the work.
At the close of the addresses a
social session was held with quite
l large number Of outsiders present
to welcome the visitors to this city:
There was a general introducing OF
speakers and a pleasant hour was
spent.
There are only sixty Pythian
Sisters in the Fairmont Temple and
there were present yesterday over
200 altogether. The dining table

Operators generally in Northern
West Virginia are today elRted BY
their success in the first stage OF
a continued fight against the uss
OF assigned cars. The Fairmont
region perhaps has been hit harder
by this system than any other field
in the bituminous coal industry.
BY q decision OF the Interstate
Commerce commission In Washing
ton, D. c., yesterday railroadG'
must place their orders for fuel on
a six months basis and the PERM.
cious practice Of calling favored
few operators on the telephone on
the eve of car shortage to place
fuel orders will be thing OF the
past II the new provision is en-.
forced as 1t no doubt Will by the
commission The new order ts er'
rective October l.
While this is not a complete vic
tory it is a great step toward the
elimination OF the abuse Of the as
signed car.
cent decision OF the Interstate
Commerce commission was reCelv,
ed in Fairmont today in the form
OF q wire from the commission. No
doubt the B. & D. railroad will be
the hardest hit and 1t may mean
an addition OF seeyral millions OF
dollars to the fuel bill of that sys-
TEN. The new development, is the
outcome OF a bitterly waged Tight
started in the federal courts.
Railroads will be compelled to
purchase the entire output OF 4
mine for a period Of not less than
six months before they, VIII be per
mitted to assign cars for their own
fuel. The amendment to the order
further provides that on contracts
made on or before November 1,
1920, which terminate at the ex-
piration Of the coal year ending
March 31st, 1921, will be regarded
as complying with the order, but
this reduction to a five months
initial period does not give the car
riers the privilege of taking less
than the entire output of a mine
during that period.
In June OF this year the Northern
West Virginia Coal Operators asso-
citation went on record as being OPP
posed to assigned cars for railroad
fuel loading in every way, shape
and form and the directors author

Immediately after the filing OF
this suit, however, George T. Bell
executive vice president applied TO
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for an Interpretation Of its or
der OF April 18th, 1920, giving the
railroads the right to assign cars
for railroad fuel loading. The order
in question gave the railroads per-
mission to assign cars provided 1t
was done in accordance with the
decisions OF the commission in two
cases which were decided in 1910.
Mr.. Bell took the position that un-
der the decisions in thees cases, a
railroad was required to purchase
the entire output Of a mine for a
substantial period" In order to
give them the right to assign cars
for that loading. While the dect
