three bituminous mines in West Vir-
ginia for shipment Of coal to points

fered from a dearth of coal. The serv-
ice order issued today. it was under
stood, was granted at the request Of

commonwealth Of Virginia.
The action was also recommended to
the commission by the federal fuel
distributor, and the mines from which
the coal will be shipped include the

mine at Bellburn. W. Va; the Blue
