About a year ago the Coin Ma-
ehine Manufacturers' Association
passed a resolution favoring a new
coin intermediate between a pen-
ny and a nickel, and also appoint-
ed a committee to foster such
legislation. The American News-
paper Publishers' Association has
joined the cause the past month by
also favoring a three-cent piece.
From New York comes the in-
formation that five-foot tables are
finally enjoying a tremendous sale
in the city of New York. The tre-
mendous earning possibilities of
the jumbo tables is compelling the
merchants to make room for the
larger games.
In Pittsburg'h, Mrs, Martha Car-
son, candidate for the Republican
nomination to Congress, has gone
on record as favoring a national
lottery.
Paul Gerber of the Gerber and
Glass Distributing Co., Chicago,
has taken over the state of Michi-
gan for the Contact game.
On May 1 practically all the
leading chain stores in the country
started selling candy bars at 5c
straight.
"One pin game" !s named de-
fendant in an appeal that has
reached the Supreme Court in
Little Rock, Arkansas. The appeal
is to determine whether or not pin
gam.es are gambling devices and
is an aftermath of a case in Pine
Bluff recently.
In a sweeping order put through
in Fort Worth, Texas, pin games
were not included as gambling
games. The order advised hotels,
merchants, etc., to put away any
type of gambling devices and enu-
merated a list of those banned.
Pin games were not included.
A ' number of small incorporated
towns through Texas have recent-
ly placed taxes on coin machines.
In most cases the tax has been
small and very reasonable.
A new coin machine publication
-La Revue de L'Automatique-
printed in Paris, France, has just
made its appearance in the states.
Among the machines shown one
recognizes many Ameriean prin-
ciples incorporated in the foreign
games.
Virginia Qperators are preparing
to launch a legal fight against the
$1,000 oper.3.tor's license which is
to go into effect July 1. It is
claimed that such a license will
force many small operators out of
business, ·lea ving the field free to
the big operators. The Newport
News city council seems interest-
ed in the matter and the hope is
held that the large license will be
considered sufficient and Newport
News wiII not set a $150 per year
city license in addition.
The pin game licenses are now
on in New York city. The licenses,
costing ~3, are good for one year.
A move is being fostered by the
operators to have the license de-
partment place an additional $50
per year tax on storekeepers who
own their own machines but the
department does not seem warm
to the propOSition as yet.
The automatic restaurants in
New York figured for plenty of
publicity in the metropolitan dai-
lies la st week when one of them
was visited b! a gangster who
walked out Wlth $400 from the
change booth.
The plant of the Stoner Mfg.
Corp. in Aurora, Ill., was gutted
by fire on May 9. As soon as the
ashes had cooled work started im-
mediately upon the construction of
a new and finer factory.
At a meeting of the Coin Ma-
chine Mamffacturers Assochtion
in Chicago. May 25 it was talked
o!er the practicalness of having a
seal of approval of truthfulness in
advertiSing carried in the ads of
members. Teaser ads asking op-
erators to "wait till you see this
one" was considered subversive to
the best interests of the trade.
The 2 per cent manufacturers'
excise tax on candy was repealed
recently when President Roosevelt
signed a new ' revenue bill which
canceled the candy tax immedi-
ately.
The city of Detroit has placed
a ban on the sale of prophylactic
rubber goods th,rough vending
machines. During' the past few
months there has been a con-
siderable enlargement in this field
in the east and the Detroit order
is to stop the sale of any form
of contraceptives that would de-
tract from drug store sales.
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, a
petition has been filed with the
city officials asking the city to
postpone any license action of
amusement devices. The petition
was signed by 109 merchants.
In Washington, D. C., it looks
as if the guiding hands of the
country will listen to a proposed
lottery bill that will place govern-
ment sanction on a national lot-
tery once a year with $120,000 to
be the first prize. The Dill was
read on April 11th and will be
re-read at a later date. Under
the terms of the bill only a small
