QUICK DEATH MET BY COIN HOARDERS Soviet Acts Drastically to Protect Circulation of Its Small Money. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, October 6—No halfway measures are used by the Soviet gov- ernment in discouraging counter Tevo- lutionary tendencies in the union. Recently there was a serious shortage of small silver coins, such as the 10.| 15 and 20 kopeck pieces, The dreaded Ogpu got busy and, in a few days, a brief announcement from this secret service organization stated that four silver hoarders had been arrested, tried and shot, all within the space of a sin- gle day. Made Change Availlable. After this announcement it was pos- sible 10 get change now and then for & ruble note. But the Ogpu Wwas not through, as was evidenced by brief paragraphs in the press of further executions and imprisonments. Since then, while there has been no plethora of silvgr change, persons patronizing the shops have not been forced, as pre- viously, to take postage stamps or’ due bills in the place of small coins Most of the small silver hoarding has been blamed on the Russian peasant, who, even when a Communist, has the idea that hard metal is far superior to | paper money. The authorities do not blame the peasant so much as they do traders, cashiers and others whom they accuse of propagandizing the peasants on the insecurity of bank notes. Tkhe Ogpu claims to have cap- tured and shot the leaders of this con- spiracy against Soviet currency and ef- forts are now being made to convince the humble mujik that paper money is just as valuable as coin. ( Litle Actual Silver Used. The peasant apparently does not rpalize that the actual silver in small Russians coins is of little value, the metal being an alloy that is intended to be durable rather than of intrinsic value, The present currency of Russia is in the form of chervonetz bank notes, treasury notes and silver, copper and bronze coins. A chervonetz equals 10 rubles and chervonetz notes are issued in denominations of from 1 to 50. The silver coins were issued in values of 1 ruble. 50 kopecks, and 20, 15 and 10 kopecks. Since 1925 duble coins and 50-kopeck bpleces have been as scarce as hens' teeth. These larger coins, it is beiieved, have been buried in pots and kettles by the suspicious gz-um.s, The government has little pe of getting them dug up and the campaign is to oring out the smaller |C.

In the financial report of last year it was shown that silver, sopper and bronze coins to the value of more than 206,000,000 rubles were in circulation.

R FISH DIE IN RIVER *| Y/ / | //III‘// Locking of Australian Stream Is Fatal to Finny Tribe. ADELAIDE, Australia (/’)—The fish that formerly teemed in Australia’s greatest river—the Murray—are dying in myriads and the banks for hundreds of miles are strewn with them. Death of the fish is said to be due to Jocking of the river during recent years for_irrigation farms. The locks have impeded the flow and the waters’ are becoming impregnated with salt and magnesia. This pollution not only kills the fish. ;:;:;d also the mussels, their principal £ T Fish exports from Norway in a "'\ eent mont weighed 25,300 tons.
