LOW WAGE is
PERIL, ASSERTS
INDUSTRY BOSS
Pay Must Be Kept in Line
With Prices, Johnson
Tells Coal Men.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE danger
of an economic relapse in this
critical stage of the depression"
unless wages are brought into line
with ascending prices was pointed
out to the National Coal Association
Friday night by General Hugh
johnson in his first public state
ment after his official appointment
as administrator OF the industrial
control bill.
Shortly before General Johnson's
brief. eXtemporaneous address was
relayed from Pittsburgh, a working
code by which the coal industry will
operate under the control bill was
accepted by nineteen of the ma
tons leading operators.
johnson was flying to Chicago
from Washington for the address
when dense fog forced the plane to
halt at Pittsburgh. Arrangements
we're made for transmitting the adj
dress by radio and Johnson spoke
without manuscript.
The President today signed the
recovery bill and appointed me the
administrator" he said. 1T is a
responsible position and I accept it
with solemn regard.
The President also gave the
country his policy governing this
work. The act is charter of a
new industrial self-government for
this country.
I think we would have come to
such a step, even if we never had
had a depression. 1t is the dis
location between what we produce.
and our power to buy and consume,
which makes and prolongs a de-
preston.
What we have here for the first
time is chance to keep production
and purchasing power in this coun-
try more nearly in step with each
other-and they are far out of step
today.
The President has pointed the
way to prevent this. The idea is
simply that employers hire more
men to do the existing work by re-
ducing the working hours of each
mans week.

Case to Be Resumed on
Monday; Evidence Is
Attacked.

Expert real estate witnesses for
the public service commission Mon
day will resume their defense in
federal court of depression price
valuation of indianapolis Water
Company real estate in the COM
pany's suit for higher rates.
The trial has developed into a
battle of expert testimony with
water company witnesses valuing
the land at $3,6O6,679, and defense
witnesses claiming it is worth only
$1,42722 on the basis of present
day values.
Company attorneys relentlessly
pounded away at defense testimony
Friday in an effort to show that
the states witnesses greatly had I'M
derestimated true value Of the land.
i During the cross examination Of
R. B. futile, commission realty
witness, Joseph j. Daniels, company
attorney, elected admission he had
appraised the lands he viewed on
the basis of subdivisions, in which
he has had extensive experience,
giving no consideration to their
possible use for business purposes.
Sales Are Cited
When Daniels cited sales of vari-
Gus tracts of land at much higher
prices, the witness said these would
not affect his judgment.
Sales cited by Daniels included
the present Showboat site, pur-
chased in 1926 for $500 an acre;
new indianapolis Broadcasting Inc.
site, purchased several months ago
at 81 200 an acre, and others.
Tuttle had appraised two nearby
water company tracts at $500 and
$500 an acre.
Attacking Tuttle's average valu-
alton of $3.50 an acre for the COM
pany'S 1854 Oaklandon reservoir
project tract, Daniels asked if his
judgment would be affected by the
fact that an adjoining forty-acre
tract had been sold in the last few
days for S85 an acre.
I'D like to examine that pur-
chaser's head" Tuttle exclaimed.
Might Have Been Considered
The witness admitted that had he
known Of the sale, it might have,
been considered when he made his
April l appraisal but said it would
not affect his figure now, unless he
knew more details about the land
and the transaction.
On redirect examination, he testi-
fed that his son had purchased a
farm similar to land in the Oak
landon tract for $75 an acre, and a
few months ago had turned it back,
to the former owner, after paying
one-third of the purchase price, be-
cause the lands value at that time
was less than $50 an acre.
He said he had appraised the
lands for subdivision purposes as he
felt they were best suited for these
purposes.

CHILD HEALTH
FUNDS VITAL,
CITY WARNED
Appropriation Must Not Be
Cut One Penny, Says
Dr.. Morgan.

When DR.. Herman Morgan, sec
rotary of the city board of health
appears before the city council in
August he will demand an amount
of money equal to last years ap-
preparation for school health and
pre-school age care, during the
school term to open in September.
1.-THE board of health can not
afford to operate on a penny less
next term, said DR.. Morgan today
Every cent expended for the health
of indianapolis children is vital"
DR.. Morgan will ask for $4,000
appropriation for school health and
an additional $4,000 for infant and
pre-school age care.
Health Situation Better
Last year when I presented a
similar budget to the council one
OF the members asked if I could not
cut some of the $4,000 item out to
reduce the appropriation" said DR.
Morgan. Il told him that it could
be done if he were willing to see
the ravages of diphtheria, scarlet
fever, and other diseases return
with the appalling mortality of a
decade ago.
Despite economic conditions. DR..
Morgan declares that the health
situation among school children to-
day is better than a year ago. He
attributes this condition to a Sys-
tenn designed to reach and study
the needs of individual children.
'Nutritional classes attended by
more than 1000 children have been
a big factor in advancing the gen
eral ehealth of the school CITY," he
declared.
Kept in Glass IL Weeks
Children found underweight for
their height are taken into the nu-
trltional classes for twelve weeks,
where they are watched carefully
and charts kept on their progress.
when they reach the required
weight, they are given certificates
and sent back to their regular
classes.
Medical efforts in the groups of
children of pre-School age and in
fantS we're cited as factors which
have put indianapolis in the upper
brackets of improved child health in
the nation in the last decade.
Nurses and doctors are assigned
to work among the 5000 children in
klndergartens. These children are
immunized annually against diph-
liberia, smallpox and other children's
maladies. They are given dental
care and records are kept of height
and weight.
700 Prize Babies in City
1--WE had 700 blue and red ribbon
babies in Indianapolis last year" DR..
Morgan declared proudly. THAT
means that there were 700 infants
who were almost perfect, or had
very minor defects, easily rectified."
DR.. Morgan said that he would
endeavor to increase the amount
OF milk distributed to undernour-
ished school children next year.
The health department dis
penses several hundred quarts of
milk daily" he said, land our milk
bill is large. In May the trustees
distributed about 5000 quarts of
milk daily. That's a lot of milk.
But, still, it's not enough. Next year,
l intend to see that every child in
the schools gets proper quota of
milk"
