TOO MUCH WASTE
 IN HANDLING COAL

Washington, December 1S-"Probably in no other industry. unless in the min- | ing of coal itself. is there so much waste as in the manufacture of furnace and foundry coke" says Richard Moldenke. secretary of the Foundrymen's associa- tion and a recognized authority on the coke subject, issued today by the bureau of mines.
 One of the principal causes of waste he attributes to the use of the old ..pee hive" type of oven, which allows the bl- products, such as tar, surplus gas. am- monia products and benzol, to escape. Easing his estimate on the figures on the coke production of 1907, Mir. Moldenke says that approximately the net loss due to bee hive oven coke production in that year amounted to sSS,000OO0.
 The change from the bee hive to the retort or by-product plant will be slow. he says. as, in addition to involving enor- nous Investments, 1t requires "a sys- tcnatio development of the market to take up the tar. Surplus gas, ammonia products and benzol will be made as the new installations are built.
 We are far behind Europe in this re- spect." he continues, flor if we should seriously undertake to bring about the use of these bi-products to the extent that is logically possible, by making creo- sote the anillne dyes, etc, there would be no further need to burn tar under boilers to get rid of 1t, or for more im- portations of ammonium salts, creosote. etc."
 "All classes of citizens,' concludes Mir. Moldenke "who help to encourage waste ful methods of using coal and our in- dustrial experts in particular should study methods of economizing to the utmost extent by improved processes of manu- facture and use the resources that before long seem likely to be exhausted"

 Notwithstanding the bad weather there was a large turnout of knights and In the church they filled nearly all the pews in the middle aisle. High mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father Coen and the memorial sermon was delivered by Father Coyle, pastor of St. Paul's and chaplain of Birming- ham council. In the pulpit Father Coyle wore a black stole and a Knights of Columbus badge. Just before beginning his sermon he led in the usual prayers for the repose of the dead, having first called the roll of the departed knights as follows: Eugene Crowell Reilly, Thomas McNamee Jr., Michael M. Bog gan, Patrick O. Byrne. J. A. Blount, Dennis Duggan, Michael J. Mullally, the Rev. Father Meurer. James McNulty, James O'Connor, John P. Flynn, Patrick McCrossin, Charles Roy, the Rev P. A.
