Huntington, W. Va. Holden, a min-
ing town near here, has a saloon, the
profits of which will be devoted to
charity. Representatives of the United
States Coal and Oil Company, oper
ating at Holden,, have been granted a
license. Replying to protests against
the license, the attorney for the ap
plicants stated it was not the desire
to operate the saloon as a money
making venture, but that it is im
possible to keep miners, because they
will not stay where drink cannot be
procured.' The attorney asserted the.
company had lost heavily on account'
of this condition, and offered to enter
into written agreement to operate the
saloon on a strictly business basis and
to turn the profits over to such charity
as the court might direct. . This propo
sition .was accepted and the license
was granted.
