LAS young man during the adj

make the White House my home.

EPIDEMIC BREAKING
St. Louis Health Officials
Say Disease Mastered.

By United Press
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-Belief that
the backbone" of the encephalitis
epidemic here had been broken was
expressed by Health Commissioner
Joseph H. Bredeck today.
Three reasons lead me to believe
that sleeping sickness is on the
wane," the commissioner said. They
are:
/. Reported new cases have been
increasing with less rapidity the last
two weeks.
2. The apparent decrease first was
noted in the lesser populated county
area where the epidemic started.
3. The death rate is increasing,
an obvious phenomenon when new
cases diminish.
Only 81 new cases Of the disease
were reported Thursday.

The operators and labor
leaders were expected to de-
liver a code to the govern
ment within the deadline set
by the President.
If Mr.. Roosevelt's COM
mand was not sufficient, addi-
tional pressure came from the
Pennsylvania soft coal fields,
where more than 10000
miners were striking in pro-
test against the long delay on
a code for their industry.
Sixteen were shot in dis
orders there Thursday.
The President gave the nego-
tiatorS their orders at a White
House conference, Thursday night.l
At the end of an hours talk Withl
leading operators, union chiefs, and
cabinet officers, he said that lin all
human probability the code and
wage agreement for recognition Of
the United Mine Workers would be
concluded by tonight.
Lewis Is Optimistic
John L. Lewis, president of the
mine workers, made clear that Mr..
Roosevelt expected that probability
to be fulfilled.
We'll have code and an agree
ment on wages within twenty-four
hours" Lewis said. THE President
has given us that long to get it.
Well get it,"
Operators declined to discuss the
conference, but they, as we'll as Ia
Dor and administration leaders,
seemed more cheerful
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson, just back from New York,
went into the conference looking
weary, but emerged smiling broadly.
The coal code has been his tough
est baby" for weeks.
Miss Josephine Roche, liberal
president of the Rocky Mountain
Fuel Company, Denver, said she was
very cheerful" 1t was her first
White House conference and she
was flushed with excitement.
Quiet in Strike Zone
Officials hoped agreement on a
code quickly would restore peace in
Pennsylvania coal fields. Union
leaders had claimed operators de-
Hberately we're stalling, to pile up
big stores of coal at low costs.
Government agents sent into the
Uniontown (Pa) region to investi-
gate the shooting of miners report
ed all was quiet Thursday night.
Governor Pinchot sent similar re-
ports to the White House.
President Roosevelt's statement,
issued after Thursday nights con-
ference, follows:
Il definitely have outlined to-
night the urgent reasons for i'm
mediate agreement on a coal code.
President Awaits Agreement
Without exception, the operators
present, representing the major
coal-producing areas, and the rep
resentatives of the United Mine
Workers, have given me their as
surance that the code in it's present
form is for the large part acceptable
and that, in all human probability,
the code can be negotiated to a con-
clusion within the next twenty-four
hours-in other words, by Friday
night.
Furthermore. the wage agree
ments between the operators and the
United Mine Workers are so close to
being concluded that the same
twenty-four-hour period should
bring them also to successful end.
In view of these assurances, I am
awaiting the signature Of the code
and the agreements.
