H&'1914>. In the lease Fisher specified
H that the side track to be used for load

H;; -acre tract "upon the premises de
ascribed in the lease." The coal com-paay
claims that it has put the side
P f trade on the railway right of way.
Which is specified in the lease. Fishclaims
that such is not the case
KKaad wants the railroad to extend on
H^gkhiB land. To build the railroad at the

I " ; company claims that it would neces^H
sitate going np a steep grade and it

Modifications were made in this zone
of the United States fuel administration
today so that operators in the
Fairmont field can ship coal to the
New England cities by ran, according
to R.0 B- Isner, district representative
of the trailed States fuel amtnistratlon.
Up until today the Fainnonters were
not permittted to ship their coal by
east of New York city and certain
points in New Jersey nd Delaware.
What coal tl ej shippped to New England
was obliged to be sent by boats
from tidewater and.as a result no inland
citi*3 could be reached.
With the modification of the zoning
cn as announced today this will enable
Fairmont operators to compete in the
inland townn? of Nrw England with
Pennsylvania coal
Mr? Isaer stated today that he had
received instructions from Federal
Fuel Administrator Garfield that no
price regulation would be effective fo:
an indefinite period and surely not before
February 1. Rumors had it that
the change wculd be effective January

It has been learned here that Carl

persons were obliged to take up another

to secure stamps at either window
as the boxes came thick and fast.
Streams of persons carrying anywhere
from a fifty pound box to a
basket fall of tiny packages were constantly
wending their way to the postoffice
and it looked as though the
stream would not ebb* before night

Possibly never before in the history
of the local office has the congestion
been greater and the clerical force is
about to be swamped by the belated
Christmas gift sender.
Tons of Christmas stuff is being received
at the local postoffice and is
being handled -as rapidly as possible
and the great amount of package
stuff as well as first class mail is also
being dispatched as readily as fossible.

These former- state guardsmen re(
