Would Melt silver Dollars.

The secretary of the treasury. in his
annual report, says: November l.
1904. the amount OF bullion in the
treasury purchased under the act Of
July IA, 1900. was 2142.5S9.71 fine
ounces. which has coming value In
subsidiary money of $3,791.3s0.24.
The coinage OF subsidiary coin dur
ing the last five fiscal years was $780,
300. .049.35.
From this II is apparent that steps
must soon be taken to provide bullion
for the subsidiary coinage.
"In this connection 1t may be pointed
out that no provision now exists for
the recoinage of standard silver dollars
which by natural wear have become
unfit for circulation. Many such are
now in the treasury. They can not be
recoined into dollars without loss. and
there is no authority to reimburse such
loss. As the subsidiary coins are of
lighter proportionate weight than the
standard silver dollars, these abraded
and uncurrent coins might be recoined
into subsidiary silver coin without loss.
The small contraction in the circula-
tion of dollars would be Offset by the
increase in the subsidiary coin. and the
net result of the operation would leave
the total money circulation unchanged.
l recommend that the secretary OF the
treasury be given authority for such
recoinage."

Cannot Enjoin a Strike.

New York, Dec. 17.-Justice jerks
of the appellate division of the New

down a decision yesterday that an in,
junction against ordering a strike can
not stand.
He modified an Injunction to prevent
strike which had been issued by JUS

a suit brought by William F. Mills,
William Nissan and other employees
against the United States Printing
Company of Ohio. the International
Stereotpyers and Electrotypers' Union
and the New York Stereotypers' Union,
In which the plaintiffs asked the court
to prevent the union men from strik-
ing to force the printing company to
discharge non-union men.
The court held that it could not
enjoin the strike and that "picketing,"
which consisted only of stationing men
for observation without molestation
would be lawful.

REPORTED SALE
OF CRIPPLE CREEK SHORT LINE

Said to Have Been Bought by Colo
RADIO q southern-President How
bert Said to Be in New York Clos
ing the Deal.
Denver, Dec. 1.-THE Republican
this morning says: The Colorado
Springs & Cripple Greek District rail-
road, 1t is reported. has been sold to
the Colorado & Southern. The rumor
has been current in railroad circles for
several days that the Cripple Creek
road was to soon change hands. but
only on yesterday was 1t generally be-
lieyed that the Colorado & Southern
was the purchaser.
The Colorado & Southern now
handles it's Cripple Creek business
through a traffic agreement with the
Colorado Midland Terminal lines, and
1t is said that 1t is the desire of the
company to secure firm grip on the
Cripple Creek district business. hence
its purchase of the Colorado Springs 4
Cripple Creek.
1t is believed that the purchase, If
1t has been made, is not for immediate
results, but for the future, as business
is steadily increasing In the Cripple
Creek district, and there is every indi-
CdtlOn tHdl lHe has hSsSA
reached the limit Of its prosperity.
Denials are made that the Colorado
& Southern has bought the Short Line,
as the Colorado Springs & Cripple
Creek road is commonly known, but 1t
is asserted that the deal was put
through recently in New York Presi,
dent Howbert of the Short Line is now
in New York. 1t is said, and that there
he negotiated with Edwin Hawley. the
principal owner of the Colorado &
Southern for the sale of the road. 1t
cost approximately $3,500,OO0 to build
the Cripple Creek road, but 1t is not
believed that the property sold for
that amount.
The Cripple Creek road was built
by mine owners of the Cripple Creek
district SO as to have an Independent
road. Prior to its construction they
were at the mercy OF the Midland Ter
minal and Florence K Cripple Creek
both roads being owned by the same
company. The charges for ore were
deemed exorbitant and in order to get
out of the meshes they built the Grip
pie Creek road. The road was built
practically in an air line from Colorado
Springs to Cripple Creek. 1t has forty
six miles of main line and several
miles of switches to mines in the dis
trict- 1t operates through trains be-
tween Cripple Creek and Denver in
conjunction with the Rio Grande.
