(U.R)—More , than 20,000 miners in western l Pennsylvania dee ined to go into the pits today, declaring they would remain out until a code for the bi- | luminous coal industry is adopted. , , Leaders from the miners' ranks - [ declined to call their position a strike. They described it as a "suspension of work.'' designed entire- > ly to bring operators in Washington to terms and effe< t early completion of a coal code. 1,400 In lowa Des Moines, la., Sept. 13.

I into operation. Many of the sales being made now to railroads and utilities are at prices below the cost of pro- : duction, in some eases being as low as 90 cents a ton. Faced with these charges, the NRA sought to speed up negotiations in conferences with two new committees of operators selected after yesterday's public hearings. One committee is work ing on the code itself, the other on administration of the code. NRA issued a statement saying "it lias become apparent that various provisions of the code can

! be rewritten in a manner to iron out many objections and make the . code satisfactory to a larger per centage of the industry.” In connection with the charges of the labor leaders, complaints already have been made that the lumber code has resulted in unemployment rather than re-em-ployment. This is attributed to the frenzied production at low wage scales before the lumber code became effective. Labor I leaders fear that the same results will be tydt in the coal industry. witli almost complete cessation of coal orders after a code is put into operation. The situation is aggravated by the highly organized condition of the industry and the unrest pre vailing in the coal fields over ’ | the code delay. If large purchases of coal stock up now for future needs, the householder will bo left to pay . increase d prices when he puts in his winter supply. It has been ; ' estimated that the retail price of . coal will he jumped possibly as much as $2 per ton under wage agreements such as the ones now I being discussed. , Coal produo! ion in July went to 29.482,000 tons, as compared to ' ! 17,857.000 in July. 1932. The appointment of the two I j new committees of nine members I j each to discuss the code left the I impression that actual approval of I a code still was many days distant. The sharp disagreements I ! which have split the industry . 1 against the basic code proposed j jby the administration indicated, I strong feelings against any such ‘ document. In presenting the procedure by which the NBA hopes to reach a coal code after a summer of wrangling and dispute, General | Counsel Donald Richberg set no 1 time limit for discussions. He j said the emphasis would be upon I speed, but he gave no definite ■ I deadline. Labor leaders were dissatisfied ‘ ■by these tactics. While not car i ing to criticize it publicly, they, I said privately that the situation : i held serious potentialities. The industrial truce proclaimed by, | capital and labor earlier in the j summer is wearing thin in spots. How much longer John L. Lewis j can hold in check the strike enthusiasts among the United Mine Worker membership Is problem-, I atical. o John H Stewart of Newark, N. |J is visiting here a few days.
