Assigned Cars.
Official Washington seems to be
as much up in the air over the assign
ed car as even the coal producing Sec
tons themselves. B. & o. officials
in some instances say that every as
signed car counts against the percen-
tage OF the mine, while others say
they do not.
If the assigned car counts against
the mine as was designed by the rails
road act there will be a sorry bunch
of operators later as they figure on
getting these cars without any charges
being made against their mines.
