 Washington, Sept 1S-Proposed regulation of prices in the nation s 1,500,00O retail stores commanded attention of recovery officials as the soft coal code was made ready for Prasident Roosevelt's signature to. day.
 The master code for retail trades has been awaiting action by Ad- ministratonr Hugh $. Johnson for several days. With the coal com pact completed save for the forms ality of White House approval Johnson and his aides expected to swing into a thorough study of the retail proposals.
 Chief issue facing Johnson IS whether he shall approve the pres ent provision forbidding stores to sell goods at less than invoice prices plus certain percentage. The percentages vary from to 1o for various types of stores.
 Deputy Administrator A. D. whiteside has recommended that Johnson approve the price control provision, but the consumers aa- visory board opposes 1t.
 Whitcslde contends price control is r rccessary to stop ruthless compe: tition, especially against snnaii merchants. He is desirious or stop ping the practice of some stores ol selling Il few items at cost or iess in order to draw crowds in the ex- pectation of selling other articles ut fat profits.
 Elimination of this practice would not harm consumers in the long run, Whiteside believes. While they would lose the benefit Of some extraordinary mark-downs, he be- iieves the general run of prices would be fairer.

The continued case of Nestor IT

The continued case of Nestor IT, tor, 43, of 162 Bishop street, charged with wilful damage to private property, was completed in police court this morning with the accused being found guilty as charged. Titor was arrested on the complaint of Miss Lydia Hard son of 571 North Main street, who alleged that Titor took a knife and maliciously carved few holes in the rear of her brand new Chevro- let machine. The slashing, charged against the accused, took place a week ago yesterday afternoon dur ing the course of a Russian con- cert and dance at Bellevue Lake.
 Both sides produced several witnesses in substantiatlon and denial of tho charges. It was ex- pected that Rev Peter Dzubay. pas- tor of tho Russian Orthodox church would appear us a witness this morning, but he was unable to at tend.
 Judge Edward Mascolo remark ing on the case said that he was satisfied that Titor was guilty and that the evidence furnished by a neutral witness, William Kakins-

Retail Stores Code Will Next Be Given
 Attention Of NRA
Coal Code Is Now Out of the Way and Only Awaits Signature of President-l, 100000 Retail Stores in Nation Will Soon Know Plans

, luminous coal code. scheduled yes- 1 terday, was delayed in order to give the industry more time to prepare for operations under its provisions and to set up the elaborate machin- cry of regional and national ad- ministrative. boards. The code be- comes effective the second Monday after presidential signature. Thus the one day delay means the code will go into operation oct 2, in- stead of Sept 25th.
 Johnson said there had been no further hitch" which would pre-. vent action by the president today. Southern Appalachian operators and United Mine Workers officials were still working, however, over the details of wage contracts. These were expected to be completed shortly. t..
 Recovery officials regarded com pletion of the long, disputed coal code as perhaps their greatest sim gle achievement. They hoped 1t would bring peace and at least c degree of prosperity to an indus. try which has been demoralized for years by fierce competition and bloody labor wars.
 Nearly 400,0 miners now em. ployed will receive generally high CT wages. The increases range up to 40 and 50 per cent in some fields. Miners are given unrestricted dight to organize and to live where they choose. They are assured that they will receive their wages in actual cash, instead of being given receipts for rent of company houses or bills at company stores.
 The labor arbitration machinery to be set up under the code IS described by the NRA as the most complete ever devised for any ma jor industry and should make strikes unnecessary"
 Johnson instructed NRA compli- ance boards throughout the coun- try that Friendly and rather than the iron fist" should be their guid- ing policy in dealing with employ CTS who fail to live up to the pres Idential unemployment agreements. The boards are being set up to handle complaints against em- ployers.
 The administration warned that If an employer wilfully persists In non noncompliance with the agree. ment after being fully informed Of his obligations, he is no longer en- titled to the blue eagle and the federal government will take 1t away from him.
 It will not be up to the local boards to pull down any blue eagles. Johnson said their part was to reason with violators and at- tempt to make them see the "error of their ways" Recalcitrants will be reported to district boards and then to Washington for whatever action may be necessary.
