O. Self, Chief of the North Carolina Utilities Commission, and further information furnished this paper by H. Gibson, local agent of the railway company. The service, leaving Sylva entirely without a passenger train, was discontinued on Monday, because of the shortage of fuel, brought about by the soft coal miners' strike. The Chamber of Commerce immediately! wired the Utilities Commission <->*-. Oonotnr RaiW nrntAotinir A11U Utiiavui "WMVJ | |/4VVVUW0 against the discontinuance of the service. Senator Bailey replied that he was turning the message over to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The coal strike was settled by pressure from tjie White House, and the miners went back to work on Thursday. ? The train service was resumed the following day. S y 1 v a without passenger trains was a unique experience to most of the people how living here. It was the first time that no trains were scheduled | to come into Sylva for transporting passengers, since the first passenger train rolled into Sylva in 1884J There have, of course been temporary interruptions by reason of floods and washouts; but]a complete cancellation of pa&enger trains was a new experiefl&e. The inconvenience was apparent on every hand. Mails a$fl express came to Sylva, hours late, on local frejght tralns7 The postal service, however, instituted a mail leaving Sylva for the east at 3:30 each afternoon. This is a great improvement over the former schedules, and it is hoped that the service will be continued, so that mail posted here in the afternoon can make connections to the east and south..
