According to operators, about 300

Georges Creek territory since the
announcement of the resumption
of the fsgu sscafe grEar may
.ority of miners, however, continue
to hold out for an agreement.
which. the operators firmly de-
clare. will not come about despite
the fact that operators of the ad-
Joining territory have entered into
agreement.
Since an agreement has been
reached in Northwestern West Vir-
ginia many miners have left this
region for that section to work in
mines along the Morgantown &
Kingmont Railroad. One day this
week, more than twenty of the
best miners of the Westernport sec
ton went to Morgantown. w. Va.
in one bunch to take employment
there.
The Davis Coal & Coke Co in
the Upper Potomac territory has
opened ten additional mines and
its total output with 716 men work
ing is from so to SIS, cars a day.
1t is expected daily average of
rs cars will be reached by the COM
pany in another week. About 12s
additional men have gone to work
within the past few days.

Rotary Club Approves Jack
sons Mills Proposition at
Meeting Today.

The two outstanding features of
the weekly luncheon of the zFalr-
mont Rotary Club at the Y. M. c.
A. today were an address by E.
B. Moore manager Of the M. r. &
R. Co., and the report of the spe-
cial committee of the club ap-
pointed to investigate the Jackson S
Mills proposition, this report being
made by Joseph Roster. president
of the Normal School.
Mr.. Moore made an interesting g
talk on Enlightenment as to Men s
Work, Problems and Successes,
His address was timely one and
well received by the members OF
the club.
Mr.. Roster made complete re-
port OF the trip to Jackson's Mills.
and two accommodations made IN
the report were adopted by the
club. The first was that the Fair
mont Rotary Club notify other
clubs in the state that an investiga-
tion OF the proposition had been
made and that the local club ap-
proved Of the proposition. The sec
ond was that club approve of the
proposition that each county in the
state provide a cottage as a meet
ing place at ,Jackson's Mills for
delegations representing the All
clubs and kindred organizations.
The West Virginia football team
will be trained at Jackson's Mills
this year instead of at Deer Park
Md, which is feature of the
Jackson's Mills proposition that is
pleasing to the Rotary members.

SPRINGFIELD Ill Aug. 24-(By
the Associated Press Goal oper-
ators in Central Illinois today an
nounced they had increased the
price of, coal fs1.25 aeton. The in
crease was followed by protest
from sub-district officials of the
United Mine Workers, who termed
the ncrease egalized robbery" !"
and declared it called for state
ment from the mine workers.
Miners have returned to- work
under the same ewage,scalei eiand con
ditions,'r Secretary John watt of
the subdistrict said. There has
been small loss to either miners or
operators. Because of the great
quantity Of coal stored, and the
fact that the mines would have
been idle whether or not there. had
been a strike,the operators cannot
with good grace lay their increase
in pri ces to the 1osses they bear. 1t
is just naprofiteering.
Mines about Springfield advised
retail deaIers today that the price
of coal had been3raised from $3:75 a
$500 a ton. Retailers announced
they had only passed the increase!
on, raising theFprfce of coal deliv-.
cred from S4.75 a. ton to S6.

During the strike period, scores
of union miners worked on state

strike is ended and the miners are
going back to work at their old
jobs, the contractors are left
short-handed, faced with the pros
