said, to be dying a natural death.
The condition of the campaign Is
said to have been serious from the

local Demmie paper failed to have
a reporter on the job to see her

Quiet in CIarksburs.5

CLARKSBURG, July 11.-There
were few development in the raj
strike situation here today. Fast
freight and passenger trains are be-
ing moved practically on schedule,
S. H. Wells, Baltimore & Ohio
agent for Clarksburg, stated: All
motive power is being conserved
for use on these fast runs, It was
explained, while slow freight is be
ing given the last. preference. In
spite of this, Mr.. Wells said, there
is no large accumulation Of over
due freight in the local yards. The
slow freight, which is made up
largely Of coal in the local region,
is moving slowly, Mr.. Wells said,
but because Of the slump in the
coal business, coal is not lying in
the yards in any quantity.
Seven men have SO. far been en-
ployed, Mr.. Wells said, to supplant
striking oilers and stationary en-
gineers >and firemen who struck
last Saturday, while additional ap'
plicants are scheduled for examina-
tion as to their qualifications.
These strikers mum bered thirty
five.
