A decline of 7 per cent in electricity production brought the total for the month to 17 per cent under last year. Warm weather and general business dullness caused a 24 per cent drop in coal mining, a decrease almost double the usuaj seasonal retrenchment. “Seasonal influence largely accounted for a moderate improvement in stone production.

ONE COMPANY CHANGES PLEA IN MINE CASE
Lays Self Open to Fine of $5000 Regardless of Verdict.
LONDON, Ky., May 23 (U. P.).— One of the 20 corporations on trial in the Harlan coal conspiracy case entered a plea of nolo contendre today and laid itself open to a $5000 fine. Shortly after court convened for the day, counsel for the Clover Splint Coal Corp. arose in court and announced that he had been instructed by his client to change tne plea from ‘not guilty” to nolo contendre. Nolo contendre means (hat the company does not resist the iudictment which charges 20 corporations and 44 persons with a conspiracy to deprive union members of their rights to organize under *he Wagner Labor Relations Act. The plea empowers Judge H. Church Ford to fine the Clover Splint Coal Corp. as much as $5000 regardless of whether the remaining defendants are acquitted or convicted. Brien McMahon, Assistant Attorney General in charge of prosecution, went into conference with nis Department of Justice colleagues. In 10 minutes they returned to the courtroom and Mr. McMahon began his opening statement. The Government seeks to prove that at the core of this alleged conspiracy stands a cherubic-looking little man named Ben Unthank, a Harlan County Deputy Sheriff accused of being the agent between the coal companies and the men charged with shooting and beating union organizers.
