Resigns Company Post

BY the Associated Press.

man for $50 coal miners, already

towns Tin the Force district are
old and their lives are wearing out.

them for modern conditions. I don't
know where you'd get the pipe and
labor"
Saying she was very disguised
over the intolerable sanitary condi-

as company doctor July Is and
threatened to move out of town.
The miners walked out because
they wouldn't work without medical
protection. They liked "Dr. Betty's
ideas" for bathrooms, running water
and sewage system in commun-
ity that had admitted no improve

State Health Department authori-
ties in Harrisburg reported that the
ShaWmut Co. would clean up the
outdoor toilets, contaminated ground
and leaking wells in Force.

secretary of health, said trouble

missioner of motor vehicles for
Maryland, predicted that the result
of the new House bill relating to pay
ment of taxes on motor vehicles
