New York, Dec. 17.-Justice jerks
of the appellate division Of the New
York State Supreme Court, handed
down . decision yesterday that an in
junction against ordering q strike can
not stand.
He modified an injunction to prevent
a strike which had been issued by Jus
tice Dickey OF the Supreme Court In
a suit brought by William F. Mills,
William Kissam 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 1t could not
enjoin the strike and that "picketing,
which consisted only Of statiOning men
for observation without molestatiop
would be lawful.

nently record the hearty acceptance.

dressed, OF this governments suggas-
tion.
The fixing of the date for this assem-
bly, is a subject for further discussion
as Russia in her acceptance inserted
the condition that the conference do
not convene until her war with Japan
has ended. In the reply OF Japan the
State Department finds a reasonable
provision that this conference. in the
event that 1t should be called In the
lifetime OF the present war. shall not
on its findings affect this conflict. SO
reasonable does this suggestion appear
to several neutral powers that It Is
thought possible IL may yet commend
Itself to all the powers. including Rus

Would Melt silver oeIIars.

The secretary of the treasury. in his
annual report. says: November J..
q 1904. the amount Of bullion In the
Streasury purchased under the act OF
July II. 1900. was 2.742.5ss7l nne
ounces. which has = coming value In
subsidiary money OF 1871 .3s0.24.
The coinage OF subsidiary coin dur
ing the last hve fiscal years was $780,
800. .O49.35.
/. 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
UNIT 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-
ton 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.
recommend that the secretary Of the
treasury be given authority for such

road. II is reported. has been sold to
the Colorado 4 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-
lieved that the Colorado x Southern
WAS the purchaser.
Tho Colorado & Southern now
handles its Cripple Creek business
through trafiic agreement with the
Colorado Midland Terminal lines. and
It IL said that 1t IL the desire OF the
company to secure a firm grip on the

its purchase of the Colorado Springs 4
Cripple Creek.
II II believed that the purchase, II
II has been made. is not for immediate
results. but for the future, as business
10 steadily increasing in the Cripple
Creek district, and there Is every indi-
cation that the district has never
reached the limit OF its prosperity.
Dentals are made that the Colorado
4 Southern has bought the Short Line.

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 Il
Southern for the sale OF the road. II
cost approximately S3.500.OoO 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 Creel;
district SO as to have an independent
road. Prior to its construction they
were at the mercy OF the Midland Ter
minal and Florence 4 Cripple Creek,
both roads being owned by the same
company. The charges Cor ore were
deemed exorbitant and ia 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. It operates through trains be
tween Cripple Creek and Denver in
conjunction with the Rio Grande.
