SERIOUSNESS VERY REAL.

one for persons residing far from coal pro.
duction, and the average citizen living in cities

hopper, unless he is making extraordinary efforts
to lay in winters supply Of fuel.
People are too prone to take chance on the fu-
ture. There are no doubt thousands Of persons
who are expecting the shipments of coal to get back
to normal every day, and who confidently believe
that coal will be readily available before Snow
flies. In the minds of these people the strike
is over and the miners are at work again, the
railroad difficulties pretty we'll ironed out and
coal will come pouring into the markets in floods.
These people believe this in spite Of warnings from
the newspapers which they skeptically take for
clever propaganda launched by dealers to boost
prices. The truth will come home to them when
the great mass demand for fuel arrives In winter,
aad coal may have to be rattoned out like most
precious gold.
There are great numbers Of people who could be
buying sufficient wood and storing 1t for emer-
gency purposes. Their cooking stoves aad their
furnaces may not take we'll to 1t, but It is better
to have little hot food cooked on a small wood
stove temporarily installed than to go through
zero weather without any kind of FIRE, or cooked
food.
The public should certainly try to grasp the real
seriousness of conditions that bid fair to face those
whose fuel must be shipped in to them from distant
points

no TRAGEDY DESIRED HERE

WHEELING has had a tragic example Of the
wv terrible consequences that may follow tho
careless parking Of an. automobile Fairmont
drivers and owners Of automobiles would do well
to take warning from the sad example and see 10
1t that no similar accident occurs here to grfeya
this city
The accident inspiring this comment occurred
when an automobile left standing deserted on a
grade ran away down a steep slope, and ran over
and fatally injured one Of Wheeling's best known
citizens who happened at the moment to be upon
the street crossing at the foot Of the grade. De-
fectiye brakes or brakes carelessly adjusted
caused the tragedy, and to make the affair yet
more terrible the owner and driver Of the car was
another prominent Wheeling resident, close per-
sonal friend of the man who was killed. This
man is now bowed in grief over the loss Of his
friend and haunted by his own most unfortunate
and undreamed-of share in the fatal accident.
The sorrow that surrounds the occurrence makes
any crtticizing or condemning comment impossible,
but here in our own city, many cars are left daily
for hours, deserted upon the steep grades that ea
ture this city The editor has personally witnessed
two similar runaways during the summer both
happily, unattended BY serious consequences, but
both potential to the highest degree OF Just such
tragedy as happened in Wheeling
This newspaper begs for more care in parking
automobiles. No automobile should ever be parked
on a grade without first turning IT into the curb
for block against accident Brakes are abso-
lutely not to be trusted in deserted car The
very passing Of heavy street car will sometimes
cause enough vibration to loosen brakes. Children
playing about may tamper with the brakes. The
driver Of the car may not set them properly in
his haste. By all means let all drivers exercise
every precaution in parking automobiles II a
machine parked on the Adam Street grades should
run away with the street in its usual crowded
condition some one would most certainly suffer
Fatrmont wants no repetition of the tragic hap
pening at Wheeling.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

FAIRMoNT Sept. S0.-(Labor
Editor, the West virglnian)- dc.
sire to correct a letter published
in the issue of Friday the Goth,
and signed by j. S. Studdard Of
Rivesyille.
Mr.. Studdard, who is president
Of the Morgan mine local union OF
the United Mine Workers, says
that no strike took place at this
mine on Wednesday, the 9th,
but that the reason for an idle day
was because there were no empty
cars in which to place coal.
It Is fact that there were nc
cars on this date. which prevent
ed the coal leaders from working,
but 1t is also a fact that there was
work for large number Of day
men who did not report for work
and who we're on strike. 1t is al
so fact that had there been n
sufficient number OF empties to
have provided employment to the
leaders. they, like the day men,
would not have reported for work,
The failure to receive cars was
the only reason the miners vera
not on strike. The reason the da!
men did not report for work on
Wednesday was employed as a
reason why both miners and day
men stayed at home and struck
the mine on Thursday. do moi
believe Mr.. Studdard will deny
the fact that both miners aud day
men were on strike on Thursday
,, for there were empty cars and ne
one reported for work.
It is also fact that the miners
and day men held a meeting OF
Thursday evening, at which tint
they were addressed by their sub
district official and upon his ad.
vice they voted to return to worl
on Friday morning which many q
them did. But others failed to re
port for work and continued or
strike. 1t is also true that wher
the coal cutters reported 70:
