DO you know that tuberculosis "a
more prevalent in the South than in
any other part OF the country?
That the death rate from tuberculo-
sis here is l4.2 per cent greater than
for the nation AS whole, and greater
than in any civilized nation on the
globe with the exception of China?
That more than 100 people a Gay, or
57.7S2 year. die in the South and
the Southwest from this dreaded dis
SCI
That there are within the territory
of the Southern Baptist Con ention
275,000 persons actively infected with
the great white plague and an equal
number have inactive infection?
That the money loss TO the South
each year from tuberculosis is S175,
100000?
These startling facts were brought
to the attention of the Southern Bap-
list Convention at its session in 1916
and resolution was at once adopted
to try and check the spread of the
disease and provide relief as far as
possible for those already infected
with II. ~asc--sa.-- .-,.-. ...E.
As a result OF this movement there

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-National-

possible spread of the principle to
many other industries, came to the
fore in Washington today, in discus

is toward naturalization of industry" !"
Senator Cummins, chairman Of the

Decentralization of the railroads, If
it should occur, would, in my opinion,
be followed by naturalization Of other
industries. do not. however, antici-
pate Immediate naturalization Of the
railroads"
When representatives of the four
big railroad brotherhoods appear to-
morrow before the joint congressional
committee, which will hear their sug-
gestions for settlement OF the railroad
problem, they are expected to make
flat demands for retirement of capital
from the railroads; for purchase of
the roads from their present owners;
payment to be made in government
bonds: and for future control Of tho
lines by corporations in which the
public, the employees and the operat.
ing management shall have equal
rights. This program was laid down
in their statement made public today.
Some members of the congressional
committee, it was learned today, in

rected to study for itself the relation
of railroad workers wages to increases

were of the opinion that the president
had now the power to name board to
go into the question Of railroad wages.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Danger OF
a coal famine added itself today to
the complications congress faces In
the railroad and high cost Of living
problems. While the senate agricul.
ture committee met to take up the
food problem in a general way and the
interstate commerce commission con.
siders the railway wage question,
senators were seeking some way to
get the coal difficulty solved before
approach OF winter makes 1t acute.
That the fuel question is rapidly be-
coming grave was the assertion OF
Senators Hitchcock and Pomerene
today They pointed out that 1t is so
closely linked with the railroad situa'
ton and Aas such direct bearing on
the cost Of living, that 1t must, II
possible, be settled before autumn.
Goal men In Ohio and West vir-
ginia have informed me-" said Pom
creme, that they cannot get cars. One
man wrote that the entire output of
his mines for this year had been con-
tracted for, that he has plenty OF
labor, but that he Is unable to get
cars.
IF this situation doesn't change,
miners will be out Of work and next
winter mills will shut down, business
will stagnate and terrible suffering
will result.
II know Of one coal company In
West Virginia which right now Is un-
able to supply railroad coal it has
contracted to sell in New England be-
cause it cannot get cars"
Hitchcock said he fears the coal
problem Is but one of number OF
domestic questions which will soon
add themselves to the worries Of con-
gress."
He predicted strong movement for
naturalization of both mines and rail
roads, such as has developed in Eng
land.
Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, also
views the situation as grave. He
declared that of 100000 cars con-
tracted for by the railroad administra-
tion but 10000 were delivered in 1918.
