$10,0lQ,0QO FOR D. c.
SCHOOLS IN. 1924
One Third of Estimates Pre-
dicted for New Build
ingS.

Virtually one-third of the District
estimates for 1924 will be for the Dis
trict public school system, it was
mates for 1924 expected to hit mark
between s2s.O0O0OO and s2s,000.o00,
the school estimates are predicted to
be between 100000 and s10.000,000,
when they leave the District building
en- route to the budget bureau.
There is need for much new build
ing in the school system, it is report
ed. Western High School is congest-
ed and overcrowded, and it is practi-
cally assured that an appropriation
for a 24-room addition will be sought
in the new estimates
Then there is Mckinley High
School. Need for more suitable quar-
ters has been continually impressed
upon authorities until it is regarded
as a safe prediction to state that pro-
vision for a new site for this manual
training school will be sent up to
the budget bureau by the Commits
sioners. Armstrong Manual Training
School also has 100000 outstanding
in future appropriations for addition
and improvements to the building
One hundred thousand dollars Of the
$5OO,OOO allotted was carried in ap-
preparation items for the current
year. How much additional will be
taken care of in the budget for 1924
Is speculative. but s150.000 will prob
ably be requested along this line.
An additional 100000 under school
building projects will be needed to
add the wing on the two junior high
schools. One wing, it is expected
will be added to each junior high
school in 1924.
For the schools. estimates for sala-
ries of teachers and for maintenan nee
of school buildings already exist
ing will amount to approximately
s7,50O,OO0 or ss.00o.o 900, it is ex-
pected. this figure including also a
number of miscellaneous items II
connection with the schools. The tota1
amount expected for the estimate fol
new school buildings and grounds
may possibly amount to more thar
$4,00O.000 when the school officials
compile their statistics. This figure
it is expected, will be chopped in half
by the Commissioners.

MYSTERY STEAMER RAMS
PASSENGER SHIP AT SEA

By the Associated Press
PLYMOUTH. England, July 21.-
The British steamer Remuera, bound
for New, Zealand. via the Panama ca
nal, with 544 passengers, including
William E. C"Pussyfoot~ johnson,
collided last evening during fog
with an unidentified vessel near the
Lizard.
An S. Q. s. call was sent out, but
later the Remuera announced she was
returning to Portland. Her lifeboats
had been out all night vainly search
ing for traces of the other vessel.
Tugs which picked up the Remuera
twenty miles from Portland found her
damaged in three of her holds. Her
pumps controlled the water, however,
and the liner reached Portland under
her own steam.
The liner, a 11.000-ton vessel, could
not make pier at Portland, how
ever. and she was beached on the
mud flats at Portland.
The passengers were all landed.

EACH AMERICAN PURSE
ABOUT SIS THINNER AS
PER CAPITA CASH DROPS

Everybody's pocketbook was
lightened by nearly IS during the
past fiscal year, according to the
statement of money in circulation
on July /, issued today by the
Treasury.
Per capita circulation of money
on July / was s39.s7. as compared
with $44.7S on July 1, 1921.
The Treasury's per capita figures
were based on total circulation OF
$4,375,555,653 on July ] and a total
population of 1O9.N3,000 persons,
as compared with a total circula-
ton of ,S51 on July l.,
1891, and a total population of 1os,-
087,OOO.
The form of the circulation state
ment was received as of July J.,
1922, the Treasury announced, so
as to exclude from money in circu-
lation all forms of money held by
the federal reserve banks and fed
eral reserve agents, whether as
reserve against federal reserve
notes or otherwise. This change,
the Treasury stated, resulted IN
showing per capita circulation
on July 1, 1922, of $39.S7. whereas
under the form of statement for
merIy used it would have been
$49.17. For the sake of compare
bility the July 1, 1921. figures were
computed in the same manner as

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 21.-Penn-
sylvania cavalrymen and machine
gunners are moving into Cambria,
Indiana, Somerset, Washington and
Westmoreland counties in the south
western part of the state today to
prevent disorder when bituminous
mines are reopened. The whole pow
er of the state government is being
massed behind them. State police
men in the affected districts will act
with the soldiers.
While the cavalrymen and gunners
are going to the strike districts more
than 1000 men will be moving to-
ward Mount Gretna, in the center of
the state, to begin the first of the
two periods of active service of the
summer encampment, and 5000 more
men are at home stations ready to be
called out.
Measure Only Preventative.
Movement of the soldiers to the
soft coal districts is the first to be
made as preventative measure.
Heretofore guardsmen have been
ordered out when disorder occurred.
Many of the men on active duty were
overseas veterans and they are equip
ped like regulars.
Col. L. j. Stackpole, jr.. of Harris
burg, who will command the cavalry
and machine gunners, went ahead of
his men to the districts where sta
tions will be located. Loading of
stores was accomplished in quick
time last night and entrainment be-
gan this morning.
This is the first time units of the
National Guard have been placed on
coal strike duty since 1902, when the

time that guardsmen have been or

Operators and Miners De-

PRODUCTION DAILY FALLS
Railroads Unable to Make Neces-
sary Shipments-Priorty Order
Likely to Be Issued.

While coal production in the fields OF
the nation is decrea sing daily, due to
greatly lessened rail facilities caused
by the shopmens strike, there ap-
peared to be hope today that confer
ence between operators and miners of
the central bituminous field was draw
ing nearer. officials of the mine union
have repeated continually since the
beginnin@ of the strike that they are
willing to confer on wages with oper-
ators representing major part of the
coal tonnage. There were indications
today that an increasing number of
operators were willing to enter a con-
ference.
Mine union officials reiterated to-
day that operators must bring to the
suggested conference representatives
of somewhere near 200.o00,000 tons
annually, the tonnage of the central
competitive field when working at
capacity. Failing this. they added,
they will not consider a settlement.
In the meantime the ranks of the
striking miners are being augmented
as new unions are being formed in
isolated sections of the country. Be-
tween 500 and 500 miners in Okla
homa and the southwest have gone
out on strike within the past few
days.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

United States senators are getting
restless and uneasy over the in
dustrial crisis. Several of them
f1ocked to the White House today to
find out if legislation could cure the
trouble and bring peace. Others told
Mr.. Harding that if there was going
to be any allocating OF coal they
wanted to know about it. Senator
Lodge, republican leader, said for in
stance, that he hoped to see that New
England would get it's share.
The situation has reached point
where the effect of continued in
dustrial warfare may be felt in the
political campaign. The Department
of Commerce issued significant
statement saying that the rising tide
of business recuperation was being
arrested by the rail and coalI strikes.
The republican party has much to
lose this fall if conditions approach
ing their campaign pledges are not
realized by the rank and file.
VIII Prevail ON Railroads.
Many of the republican leaders
know how close the connection is be-
tween Industrial peace and political
success next autumn. Senator James
Watson of Indiana went to the White
House with Senator Cummins and the
net effect of their visit was a de-
termination to reason with the rail
executives and see if they wouldn't
waive a single obstacle that stands in
the way of agreement, namely, res
toratien of seniority rights to the men
who return from the strike.
The word has gone out that the
northwestern roads are ready to set
tie and that many of the southern
roads would do likewise. The eastern
put the republican party in a hole by
prolonging the strike beyond the
point of political safety? There al
ways has been an affinity between the
railroads and the republicans here and
the latter now are trying to see
whether their influence counts for
anything.
Fear Scarcity Of Coal
Scarcity of coal for next winter Is
making senator's apprehensive. II the
House of Representatives were in
session there would be incessant pill
grimages from the Capitol to the
White House Of House members. AS
it is the Senate reflects the general
uneasiness which is felt throughout
the country over the Industrial situ-
alton.
The President is listening to what
the senators tell him. but as for ra-

tioning of coal. that is somewhat pre-
mature. Senator Kellogg didn't seem
to think much coal would be mined
unless the strike was settled at once.
The White House is waiting to see
what effect the invitation to the oper-
ators to resume operations will have
on the amount of coal mined. Several
days may elapse before another move
is made. Some senators, like Mr..
Pomerene of Ohio, are inclined to
think the federal government could
seize the coal mines and operate them
until the emergency Is past. other
constitutional lawyers doubt it. There
is no question. however, that the
states can seize the mines and, with
the aid of the federal government. ar
range for regulation of interstate
shipments. These moves are largely
academic as yet. for until definite fg-
in the next ten days no drastic course
will be adopted.
Rail Situation Hopeful.
The rail situation gives better
promise of a settlement. Pressure
by individual senator's on eastern
rail executives undoubtedly will be
followed by persuasive arguments
from other quarters influential with
the railroads just as soon as the dan
ger of a continued tie-up is fully
realized. While the executives pro-
test that conditions are fairly good,
officials here do not share that opti-
mism and rather fear general
breakdown of the transportation of
the country unless peace is speedily
obtained.
The decision of the circuit court Of
appeals in Chicago upholding the
rights Of the Railroad Labor Board
was welcomed here as a step for
ward and one which would probably
make roads like the PENNSYLVANIA
see the necessity of obeying the
Railroad Labor Board lest the con-
fidence of the railway employees in
the boards power be adversely af-
fected.
More Legislation Unlikely.
More legislation at this time is un-
likely. The settlement. when it does
come, will be along the line of max
ing the present legislation respected.
The transportation act provided that
adjustment boards be set in various
regions. The railroads have by one
move or another delayed the estab-
lishment of these boards. Dilatory
moves have caused a loss of faith.
On top of this the railway employees
have iouted the power Of the Labor
Board to adjust wages when the main
purpose OF the transportation act wei q
to have an impartial tribunal to fix
wages The solution lies In making
the decisions of the Labor Board re-
spected. and officials here are not yet
ready to believe this impossible.
