PRESS OF COUNTRY PRAISED
Officers Of Anti-TubercuIosis Associa-
tior Acknowledge Debt In Fight
Against Dread Disease

Publicity in newspapers and maya
zines to the amount or 1.5G0, 600 inches
year on tuberculosis and its preven-
tion is being given by the press of the
United States, according to an esti-
mate issued recently by the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of Tuberculosis. If all the pub
licity on tuberculosis given by the
press of this country gathered in one
paper, the National Association esti-
mates 1t would make a paper of over
$3.50 pages. In the last four years,
during which time an active publicity
campaign has been carried on, the
National Association estimates that
over 100000 inches. or over 80 miles.
of press notices on tuberculosis have
been published.
Publicity is the very heart OF the
educational campaign against tuber-
culosis," says DIR. Livingston Farrand.
the executive secretary of the national
association. Largely because of the
intelligent cooperation of the press
has the anti-tuberculosis movement in
this country been able to become, as
it is, the greatest organized movement
of its kind in the world. When tuber
culoss shall have become a rare dis
ease the American press may justly
claim a large share in this gigantic
achievement"

Indianapolis.-No anthracite or BIZ
luminous coal will be taken from the
mines by union miners as result OF
the suspension which went into effect
at midnight Sunday night, due to
wage troubles.
More than 100000 miners, about
10000 in the anthracite field and
25O, 900 in the bituminous. will take a
vacation, which probably will last
only a few weeks. Different from a
strike, the miners will leave pnmp-
men and others at work to protect the
mines from flooding or other trouble
due to shutdown of the plants.
The bituminous miners will be out
only long enough for the wage agree
ment reached in Cleveland to be rati-
fled by the miners by a referendum
vote and it is believed the agreement
will be sanctioned by large majority
of the men.
The suspension in the anthracite
mines will last longer as no agree
ment has yet been reached. Negoti-
ations will be resumed April 10th.
Ballots for the referendum vote by
the bituminous miners, it is said, will
be sent out from the national miners
headquarters here. 1t will take more
than two weeks to take the vote. AS
it will require some time to canvass
the vote, the bituminous miners are
not expected to resume work much
under a month.
