RECOMMENDS RESEARCH
COMMITTEE FOR COAL
New York Banker Says Industry is
In Deplorable Condition
Throughout Country

Cleveland. Nov. l5.-lP-Recom
mendation of national bituminous
coal research committee was made
today by +. w. SHIRLEY, vice presi-
dent of the Bankers Trust company.
New York. in an address before the
annual convention OF the National
Coal association here.
'There Is no industry in this coun-
try in more deplorable condition
at the present time than the coal in
dustry," SHIRLEY said. Aggressive
leadership is demanded to save the
industry and an educational program
among the men in the business will
stop the impending danger, ! be-
lieve."
SHIRLEY urged the formation of
the committee to discover the facts
on which to build a genuine CO.
operative movement to correct the
evils of the industry. He said that
capacity to produce coal has
progressed faster than the ability to
consume it. with the result that coal
has been forced on the market In
many cases at a price below the cost
of production.
Action on the recommendation is
expected to be taken at the closing
session tomorrow.

door through which they might
have jumped to safety with the
parachutes all wore.

PAY MORE TO
PROTECT FISH
THAN HEALTH
Conservation of Forests
Cost Higher Than Guards
on Child Life.
BY MAX STERN

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. .
Health, the most precious commod-
ity in life, costs only 1875 cents per
capita per year in the United States.
Statistics gathered by the State
Department of Health reveal that:
The forty-eight States of the
Union last year spent more for the
protection of fish and game than
they did for prevention of disease in
human beings.
They spent more for forestry con-
servation than they did for the con-
Servation of child life.
Spend More OH Cattle
They spent almost as much for
1--WE stock conservation as for all
public health and sanitation work.
They spent $22,O20,891 for fish and
Eane, forestry and live stock con-
eervation and only $7532,007 for pre-
Vention of tuberculosis, prevention
Of communicable disease and child
life conservation.
They spent % cents per capita on
public health and sanitation, includ-
ing $10,00O,O0O spent on tuberculosis
III State institutions and regulation
o. professional standards. Minus
these the cost was only 1875 cents.
At the same time they spent 1857
for schools, 1854 for charities, hos
pitfalls and corrections, and $1.35 for
highways.
Health Funds Steady
Out of every taxpayers dollar the
biggest item, schools, cost 1877 cents;
next come charities, hospitals and
corrections, costing 17.2 cents; high
ways cost ISL; general government
8.4; protection to person and prop
erty, So cents; development and
conservation of natural resources, 6
cents; health and sanitation, "a
dents; libraries, 2 cents, and recrea-
uon, 8 cents.
1.-The ratio of State funds expend
I'D for health and sanitation projects
has remained almost constant since
1915" said State Health Officer
Walter Dickie. "It is reasonable to
assume that if more money were
spent in the prevention of disease
other costs, as for instance State
hospitals, charities. corrections and
crime, would be reduced"

WALB PLEADS
NOT GUILTY.

when arraigned on charges of vio-
lating the United States banking
laws in the crash of the La Grange
National Bank, of which he for
merly was vice president.
Valentine Weaver, former presi-
dent of the bank, also pleaded not
guilty.
The indictments against them
were attacked by their attorneys in
a demurrer containing twelve para
graphs.
Date of trial was not fixed.
Walb and Weaver were accused
of conspiring to keep the Walb
Construction Company afioat by il
legal practices in the bank. Walb
was alleged to have been permitted
to make overdrafts against his own
and the company's account, which
we're concealed by false entries.

asking a bill of particulars would
be filed, but it was not made.
