UNITED STATES 1922 COIN CROP IS A FAILURE Washington. July 10.—The 1922 coin crop a complete failure. American pockets are so full of silver that there will be no nlckles, dimes, quarters, or half-dollars coined this year, F. E. Scobey, director of the mint announces. As for pennies, only a paltry $70,000 worth have been coined nt the Denver mint, as against $492,000 worth the preceding year. "There have been approximately $46,000,000 worth of pennies coined since the mint began in 1792,” said 8< hobey. "So what's the use of making more, when about the only things you can still buy with a penny now-a-days are lolly pops 7" This is the first time in 108 years that half dollars have not been coined; the first time in 93 years that no quarters have been coined; the first time In 97 years that no dimes have been coined; with the exception of the year 1877, the first time in 57 years that no nickels have been coined; and with the exception of the years 1815 and 1823, the first time since the beginning of the mint in 1793. 129 years ago. that so few pennies have been coined. This is the first year since 1905 that silver dollars have been coined. In 1905, $8,812,000 silver dollars were coined. This year the order Is for $50,000,000 under the provisions of the Pittman act, which required that for every dollar melted into bullion dur-

ng the war to be sent abroad as a loan o our allies, a new silver dollar would be coined when the war was over. \hout $150,000,000 in S2O gold pieces vill be coined this year. B . —.

B Showdown in Strike of Railwaymen Came Today (Continued from page one) bloodshed” the sheriff said in an appeal to Lieut. Govenor Sterling. The strike situation at Clinton, 111., where two companies of state guards were on duty following rioting Saturday in which one was killed. was reported quiet. Reports that the state troops had been fired on by snipers, were not confirmed. Troops were also on active strike duty at Parsons, Kas. Small riots were reported in a dozen cities through the night. The one bright spot in the strike situation was the apparent success of the railroad labor board in preventing an immediate call for a strike of signal men and prospects of a similar arrangement with the clerks and freight handlers. E. H. Fitzgerald, head of the clerk's union, went into conference with the board after announcing that members of his union had voted for a strike on many lines. Hoard members believed the clerks and the signalmen would finally accept the same compromise arrangement through which the maintenance of way strike was called off.

There were no prospects of any settlement of the shopmen's strike. The general attitude of the railroads to fight the strike with federal counrt injunctions was evidenced as attorneys for the employers went into court in many cities and obtained writs preventing pickets from interfering with workers. Many Trains Discontinued St. Louis. Mo., July 10—The Missouri Pacific railroad hampered by the strike of shop workers and a shortage of coal, today discontinued one hundred and four of their regular passenger trains. At the same time the Wabash railroad announced that it also would discontinue forty-two trains for the same reasons. The announcements came as national guard troops, mobilized on orders of Governor Hyde prepared to prevent any disorder. The Missouri Pacific announced that the cancelations are due to an absolute shortage of coal and the necessity to conserve the supply on hand. The road burns about 15,000 tons daily. Smith to Terre Haute Indianapolis. July 10 — Adjutant General Harry B. Smith was sent to Terre Haute by Governor McCray today to investigate railroad strike conditions there. No report of trouble has been received from Terre Haute but the governor desires to be familiar with the situation. General Smith has returnd from an investigation of strike in Ft. Wayne, Garrett, Huntington and Peru. He told the governor there were no signs of trouble.

Will Seek Federal Action Indianapolis, July 10—Federal action to prevent operation of trains said to be in serious need of repairs will be sought by striking railway shopmen, L. V. Hart, chairman of machinists for the entire Big Four system said today. Hart declared train crews had called his attention to trains running in what he termed dangerous condition. Officials of the Indiana division of the Pennsylvania road said 125 strikers had returned to work hi this territory. Strike leaders denied this ascertion. One Killed in California Oakland, Calif., July 10—(Special to Daily Democrat) —First death here in connection with the shopmen’s strike was reported today. Fred Lutden, machinist in 4 the Southern Pacific shops, who refused to strike, was found dead this morning at the foot of the stairs in his rooming house. His skull was fractured . Police believe Lutden was murdered. No arrests have been made, Mrs,J. H. Bremenkamp left last Saturday for Manistee, Mich., where she will visit for three weeks with the Andrew Schurger family. Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Moon, Mr and Mrs. Del Lake and Mrs. .1. J. Foughty spent Sunday at Auburn visiting with Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Wagner.

New Proposal Made for Settling Coal Trouble (Continued from page one) decision back to the big con (erence. "1 have been working on that line tor two months and I. believe my plan may now be put Into effect,” he told the United States. When conferees representing bituminous sections of the conference gathered for their morning meeting they gave every Indication of standing irmly on their original demands for negotiating wage and working agreements. This is the rock on which the conference Is jammed. Operators insist on sectional agreements while the miners demand national or semi-national agreements. The anthracite section is scheduled to meet this afternoon. The operators in this group want arbitration. The miners fear arbitration will mean wage reductions and demand an agreement insuring against lower wages before they submit the quarrel to arbitrators. Coal production in the nonunion f'elds has dropped to approximately 4,000,000 tons weekly, the geological survey reported. This is a decrease of 1.000.000 tuns weekly from previous figures and indicates a slowing down of mining, the survey stated. The country's weekly requirements ere 10,000.C'J0 tons. With consumption at normal and prononcation at approximately 50 per cent of normal, reserve st w ks consequently are low and rapidly dwindling the survey stated. President Harding and his advisors are not expected to take dractic steps until the coal conferees have had “ampieopportunity to negotiate their differences” an administration official said today. The indications are that Harding will not bring open pressure to bear on the conferees for at least 48 hours.

Sees Early Settlement Washington, July 10—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Settlement of the coal strike—voluntary or forced—is only a matter of days, it was indicated today as operators and miners resumed their conferences, and the administration secretly prepared a plan of action. President Harding and his observers at the conference, Secretaries Hoovei and Davis, are now practical ly prepared to meet the threatening fuel shortage, steadily approaching the danger point. It is understood Attorney General Daugherty has rendered an opinion for the president on how far the administration can go in protecting the “public interest.” One administration official today pointed to the government’s action ordering United States District attorneys and other federal officers to use force to prevent interruption of interstate commerce and interference with the mails as an indication of what may be expected if the coal conference fails to negotiate a settlement. Two Miners Killed Point Marion. la.. July 10—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Two striking miners were killed and another is dying following a pitched battle today here between occupants of a tent colony and deputy sheriffs on guard at the plant of the Atlantic Coa) company. According to sheriffs, the strikers resisted with fire arms an attempt to force them to move their camps.

& Late News "I Flashes $ fl (United Preaa Service), New York, July 10. — The Erie Railroad announced discontinuance of twenty one local trains in and out of New York City today. The railroad’s announcement placed responsibility for the curtailment upon a shortage of coal, while shopmen declared it was due to their strike.
