Virginian Railway Mines Start Recovery After Strike
After a standstill from the shopmen strike, Virginian Railway mines began to recover last week. Cars returned gradually, with up to 40 percent of full capacity. The 120 ton open top cars arrive, and the New Coal Exchange at Sewell's Point increases dumpings releasing more cars. Chesapeake and Ohio mines also ran at about forty percent due to car shortages.
