PlacedCar
supply took a sudden drop
today In Northern West V.rginia
after the fine showing of Monday.
All of the divisions are harder bit
' today than yesterday.
Apparently the most favorable
car supply is on the Monongahela
' Railway in West Virginia with a
50 per cent run. The Morgantowa
& Wheeling is next in line with a
46 per cent run of cars. On the
Monongab Division, B. &. O.. today,
ther0 is a 37 per cent run.
The Charleston Division had a 29
per cent run while the Western
Maryland supply was the hardest
j hit with but a 10 per cent run of
coal cars.
Along the Monongahela Railway
in Pennsylvania today the car supply
is down to 10 per cent
On The Divisions
Fifty mines are idle today because
of the limited car supply
along the Monongah Division. B.
& O. Thero are 1,176 cars on tb*
division today, of which 768 coal
cars and 32 coke cars were placed
at 7 o'clbck this morning. Four
hundred cars were loaded for railroad
fuel loading, while thirtytwo
coke cars were ordered and
placed. Eighty-three privately
owned cars were placed on the division
today.
On the Charleston Division thore
were 97 oraptles placed while the
mines ordered 285.
Mines on -the Monongahela Railway
today ordered 608 cars whilo
the road had an early placement
of 244. Its Bubsidiair. the Morgantovrp.fc

Western Maryland mines today
had but twenty-two empties placed

Shortly before the Pennsylvania

him to "get into the march or yon
will be shot and thrown out of the
union."
At Duquesenc, Meyers testified,
he met Kaminski. who was nrmni
with a rifle. When the marchers
crossed the West Virginia line,
Meyers said ho and a number ol
? others tried to escape but a man

"You go or die."
"Orders wero given us that if
the guards shot our men we were
to kill them even if we had to run
them to Africa," Meyers told the
Jury.
Near Virginia Station. In the hill
beyond the Clifton mine the marchers
wero startled by a heavy explosion.
"The leaders drove tho
men over a fence, but I started to
run," Meyers continued. "I didn't
get far, for Mike Poulerlch and
Stove Laprosh shouted, "Como
back or we will shoot your leg
off.'"
