MINERS AND SCIENTISTS
 UNITE TO SOLVE PROBLEM
Fine Coal Air and Dust Increase Hazards of Spontaneous Com-
 huSfjOu

Pittsburgh, April 13-Fine coal dust and moist air quickly increase the hazards of spontaneous combustion, according to scientists of the Carne- gie Institute of Technology and the Pittsburgh station of the United States Bureau of Mines, who have been carrying on investigations here with an advisory board of coal oper- ators and mining engineers.
 Another conclusion set forth is that mixing freshly mined coal with old coal does not develop any more heat than that derived from coal piled separately.
 A third conclusion is that most of the alloys available for use in coal mine equipment are corroded exten- sively by the acid waters in mines. Grasses containing zinc corode rap idly, while bronzes containing tin cor rode more slowly. Cupro nickel and nickel-silver alloys have about the same resisting power to the acids as the brasses.
 These reports mark the first mile stone in the serious efforts of the coal mining industry to stabilize mining in cooperation with an educational in- stitution.

 and other banks Of Georgia on the ground of want of equity. and it's ac- ton was approved by the court or appeals.
 In Supreme Court.
 When this case reached the su- preme court, that court took notice of some of the charges made by the Georgia banks. The opinion, written by Justice Holmes. referred to meth- ods which 1t was asserted the Fed eral Reserve bank of Atlanta intend- ed to use to force the Georgia banks to cash checks at par, giving most attention to the declaration that the Atlanta reserve bank intended ito ac- eumulate checks upon tho country banks until they reached large amount, and then to cause them to be presented for payment over the counter or by other devices detailed to require payment in cash in such wise as to compel the plaintiffs (the Georgia banks to maintain so much cash in their vaults as to drive them out of business or force them. if able. to submit to the defendants (federal reserve banks) scneme.
 Pointing out that an action would lie against man who through dis interested malevoence" caused run upon a bank and ruined 1t, Justice Holmes stated that "a similar result if less complete in its effect is to be expected from the course that the defendants are alleged 10 intend." The supreme court concluded that the United States did not intend by that (the federal reserve act) statute to sanction this sort of warfare upon legitimate creations of the states" and 1t sent the case back to the dis trict court to be tried on its merits.
 Dismissed Complaint.
 After such trial the district court entered decree dismissing the com plant of the Georgia banks, and the fifth circuit court of appeals affirmed the degree. Thus the Georgia case is back in the supreme court for the second time, where it has been joined by the North Carolina case. Because of the importance of an early deci- sion the two cases have been ad- vanced for oral argument on April 2S. It is expected that final deci- sion will be handed down at the present term of court.
 The federal reserve banks declare the two cases are regarded by them 'as essentially test cases" and em- phasize the importance to business generally of having their position sus- tained, pointing out that while in individual instances it may not be of much moment whether a small com mission or exchange" is charged by the bank upon which the check is drawn, it is of material importance to know when checks upon banks not members of the federal reserve sys- tenn accumulate in large numbers whether the full face value of the checks will be received. Should the small banks be permitted to charge exchange" for cashing checks, it will be necessary, the federal banks de- clare. for business houses to adjust themselves accordingly, and either require their customers to pay the cost of collection or increase their prices to cover 1t.
