MANY CHILDREN ARE IMPOPERLY
 N0URISHED

PITTSBURG, Jan. 31.-Do children even of better class families, eat the right kind of food to properly nour- ish them? Evidently the children eat enough, but official statistics just compiled by the City Board of Edu- cation from four of the big grade schools in the East End section, where the average family is in con- fortable to wealthy circumstances, show that 10 to 15 per cent of the children of these schools are under nourished City health physicians are seeking the cause
 The schools are the Friendship, Liberty, Shakespeare and Osceola, where the children attending come from homes enjoying the average or above the average of American home living conditions.
 Dr. H. B. Burns, director of the department of public hygiene and one of the city's most prominent phy- sicians, gives out the official fig ures resulting from the investiga- tion made under his direction.
 In the Friendship School 612 pupils were examined, 322 boys and 299 girls, and 10S, or IT per cent, were found to be 10 to 15 per cent under weight for their ages and height ac- cording to United States standard tables In the Library school, where girls, 101, or 17 per cent. were under normal. In the Shakespeare school APO were examined, 206 boys and 214 girls, and "A, or IF per cent, were found to be under normal and in the Osceola school, where 475 were examined, 25o boys apd 225 girls, 95, or 20 per cent, were found under nor mal
 GIRLS MOSTLY UNDER WEIGHT
 The under weight girls, in each in stance outnumbered the boys and the tests were taken of pupils from the first to eighth grades, the ele- mentary school limits.

HIGH HOPES FOR NEW COAL WAGE
 AGREEMENT

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-Approxi- mately 100000 soft coal miners, scat tered throughout more than twenty states, are vitally interested in the question of whether a new wage agreement with the soft coal operat- ors will be signed before the end of March, says statement issued from the headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America here.
 "The present agreement under which the miners are working ex- pires on March 31," the statement is negotiated in time to take effect on April 1, these 100000 miners will find themselves without any kind of wage rates and they will not know what they are to receive for their work in the next two years. Some of the members of the United Mine Workers of America are doubt full as to whether new agreement as to whether new agreement will will be reached, but there are many others who say they believe that the coal operators will not allow the first day of April to arrive without wage scale having been agreed upon"
 The union officials are still hope flll that an agreement will be signed before that date the statement adds.
 When John l.. Lewis, president of the miners union, called meeting Of miners and operators for Janu- arY 6, in Pittsburg it was thought tNat negotiations looking to the working out of a new wage agree mont would soon be well on their way" the statement continues. 'This meeting was called for the purpose of selecting a date and a place for a joint wage conference field, con- posed of Western Pennsylvania Ohio Indiana and Illinois. But the entire plans was scrapped by the action of the epera tors of the Pitts burg district and two large groups of Ohio operators in refusing to meet with the representatives of the min CTS. The operators of Indiana and Illinois had tentatively agreed to the meeting, but when the Pittsburg and Ohio operators refused President Lewis regarded it as useless to hold tho Pittsburg meeting. and he called, ii off. This left the entire subject oe wages and working conditions in tEo mines for the next two years up in the air.
 Surely the operators will yet meet V"h the miners and negotiate a wage agreement to take the place of the one that expires on March 31 The public remembers only too well the chaos in industry and business that followed the stubborn refusal of the operators to meet with the miners in 1919, and it will not per- nit the operators to force another situation like that one that developed in that year And the miners do not want such a thing to happen again"

tiles that might have operated for
of the influence of these factors on the
situation is sufficient to produce a
change in the position remains to be
determined. Some of them appear
more important at first glance than
upon analysts In general it may be
said that bankers look for gradual
easement rather than any sudden de-
cline in rates.
Settlement of the foreign exchange
market into a trading position last
week had the effect Of divcrting inter
est from its operations and attendant
fluctuations. Activity was sharply cur
tailed compared with that witnessed
during the recent advance and there
was general hesitancy on the part of
dealers and traders to make commit
ments on either side of the market.
The significance OF this development in
the opinion Of international bankers
rests in the confirmation it furnishes
of the view that the rise was based
on fundamental considerations rather
than technical factors in the market
The greater part of the rise was held
and the period of quiet was attained
after a relatively brief reaction. Stcr-
ling, for example, after selling up to
$3.50 for cables, broke more than 6
cents and subsequently achieved peak
at $4.3784. This level is almost is
cents above that prevailing at the close
Of last year There is much uncer-
tainty as to how long the current back
ing and filling of quotations will en-
dure but the majority opinion seems
to be that the trend over coming
months will be toward higher levels.
Some bankers believe that number Of
the Continental exchanges, including
specifically francs and lire, are selling
out of line with sterling 1t is undoubt-
edly true that their appreciation has
been based rather on the rise in stcr-
ling than on their own merits, the
question being whether the improve

New-York tribune., 1922-02-20

From several Of the Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys active in handling
bucketshop cases the suggestion has
emerged that new legislation would be
desirable and the specific recommends
tion has informally been made that
licensing brokers would be desirable.
Reputable brokers have often opposed
this procedure on the ground that
licensing would unintcntionally put the
seal of state approval on many un-
scrupulous operators whom state Off
cials could not hope invariably to ex-
clude from the fold of the eligible.
The question raises a nice problem.
The existing system Of laisscz fairc has
permitted unlimited crops of unfit men
to undertake the respons Utilities of
brokerage. Another suggestion advises
state law making it illegal for an
individual to conduct brokerage bust
ness under an assumed name, and it
has been further urged that it should
be made illegal for those previously
convicted Of a felony to act as brokers.
Since these questions raise contro-
versial points, we invite correspondence
on the subject from those Of our read
ers who feel they have something real
80 contribute.
