"HEARTS OF THE WEST"
~. AT THE REX SATURDAY

''Heart Of the West" As a story OF
men, in the full meaning Of the word,
Of desires, of love, of hate, and of
the struggles of our early pioneers
and gold seekers, when the law of
the land was the six-shooter, when
the survival OF the fittest meant the
quickest on the draw. Heart of the
West" stands head and shoulders
above the average western picture in
that 1t contains not only daredevil
stunts and fast action, but It is a
story with real plot, full Of romance
and gripping scenes.

AT the offices OF the Northern

presented by United States Sena-
tor Sutherland making assigned
cars illegal was received.
Under this proposed act, which
was cast into the Senate hopper
last week, all coal cars must be
distributed proportionateIy, and the
amendment would suspend that
portion Of the transportation act,
which provides for the use Of as.
signed cars In times Of emergency.
Coal tradesmen for a long time
have complained that the Inter.
state Commerce commission usurp.
ed powers and that the emergency
in the provision was greatly abused
In its Interpretation.
The act as presented is as
follows: BE 1t enacted by the
Senate and House Of Represen.

division Is OF section 1 OF the
Act known as the to regulate

subdivision the following:

Daily Shipments.
Shipments to Curtis Bay OF the
Monongah division. B. & o. R. R.,
on Wednesday totaled 107 cars, this
being but one car stronger than the
day before. The belief that the
Welsh strike situation may clear
up soon possibly has caused an
ease up in export coal shipments,
although this week. the consigu-
ments are somewhat heavier than
Ilast week, but way low compared
TO several weeks before.
Lake shipments on Wednesday
were fSrty.two cars the lowest of
the present week OF the Monongah
division. These shipments have
been limited considerably this sea-
son. A tradesman from Cleveland
who called here recently believed
that possibly more Falrmont coal
would move lakeward in the early
fall.
on the Monongah division on
Wednesday there were 565 cars OF
coal loaded east and SO west.
