FOR PRICES
Code, Effective Today, Is Ex-
pected to RevoIutionize
Sales and Advertising
By International News Service

AS the great master code for
the retail trade went into effect
throughout the nation today, the
retail code authority, headed by
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
johnson, set to work determining
the amount that merchants must
get above cost in all future prices
of good5.
In addition, the authority out
lined several rulings designed to
forestall misunderstanding about
salient features of the code.
To RevolutiOnize Practices
The codes chief feature, the
ban on Gloss leader" sales, botn
in the general merchandise ana
retail drug trades, is expected 10
revolutionize modern sales ana ao-
vertising practices.
Every department store adVer-
tisement appearing in newspapers
today should be minus any men,
ton of below-cost bargains anu
the more usual sort of andersen
ing claims, as these are strlctS
forbidden in the code.
johnson and other members Oh
the code authority will announce
that a markup of 10 per cent on
the invoice cost of every article
will be required to prevent "un-
fair price competition and dlsas-
t,.o,,s nrice wars within the
trades" :" 49,
code we're: ,
It applies to all stores not "pr1'
marily" engaged in selling tooo'
milk and tobacco, or operating
under separate codes.
Small Towns Excepted
It does not apply to well Segre-
gated" divisions OF department
stores such as restaurants, lunch
fountains and barber shops.
Retailers in towns of $500 or
less shall not make "unwarranted"
reductions in the number OF their
employees in order to obtain ben
eft of the provisions exempting
from all provisions of the code
employers of five persons or less
in these towns.
The exemption does not apply
to retailers in towns Of $500 or
less within the trading area of
larger cities, as this area was de-
fined by the 1880 census.
Complaints by any merchant
are to be filed at the nearest dis
trict office of the Department of
Commerce, pending the setting UP
of regional complaint boards by
the trade authority.

had been directed to do so by
the President.
Meanwhile, the status Of Ford
as a bidder on Government con-
tracts for motor vehicle equip
ment remained undecided, pend
ing a formal announcement by
Comptroller General J. R. McCarl.
It was understood that McCarl
awarded a Veterans Administra-
tion contract for one truck to
the Northwest Motor Company,
Ford agency in nearby Maryland,
prior to the time of the last
flare-up in the Recovery Admins
tration controversy with Ford.
Submits Low Bid
The same Ford agent also has
submitted the low bid for 500
trucks to be used by the CCC, but
the Comptroller General has not
vet decided on the contract. Un-
der President RooSevelt's eXecu-
tive order of August 10 Govern
ment units were ordered not to
consider bids submitted by viola
tors of codes or Presidential re-
employment agreements.
McCarl has indicated that he
will make no comment unless re-
uuested to do SO. In case he is
not requested to rule upon the
Ford agency's bid, it is understood
he will award it to the Northwest
Motor Company. The whole prob
lem of the award of the bid for
500 trucks hinges on action by
President Roosevelt to clear the
question of whether or not Ford
is a violator of the automobile
code through his refusal to enter
into collective bargaining.

Pennsylvania Executives on
Carpet at White House as
Union Breach Widens
BY International News Service

By International News Service
Executives of the nations prin-
cipal steel companies gathered
with President Roosevelt today
for a showdown on the inceas-
ingly serious situation involved
in their dispute with workers in
the steel companies captive coal
mines of Pennsylvania.

tute.
Negotiations" Fail
The steel barons were called to
the White House by President
Roosevelt after two weeks of me
gotiations" failed to bring peace
between the mine owners and the
workers.
The latter went on strike when
the mine owners refused to per-
NIT use Of the check-off system
and selection of check-Weighmen
by the miners.
The President called the same
group before him two weeks ago
and at that time they pledged
their cooperation. Reports from
Myron C. Taylor. chairman Of the
q. S. Steel board, said efforts to
effect a settlement were being
continued, but lack Of specific ad-
vances toward settlement resulted
in Mr.. Roosevelt's decision to
have a plain talk with the steel
men.
Roosevelt Ready to Act
The President is ready to de-
eide the issue himself, unless the
companies can settle the dispute
speedily, according to high Ad-
ministration officials.
Those gathered at Mr.. Roose-
velt's call, in addition to Taylor
and Miller, included l.. E. Block,
chairman of the Inland Steel Co.;

professional best ball play, pre-

of competitors and few finished the lS
holes. No outstanding practice scores
were reported.
THIRTY-SIx holes comprise the

play. The prize money aggregates

Weather Poor Again.

A GAIN the tourney ran into streak
N of bad weather. Just as was the
opening day of the two previous
events, the first day Of the 1888 tourney
found bad weather again striking at
the very Vitals of the gate receipts. Few
people care to watch golf tournament
played in freezing weather, in a wind
which tore through overcoats, leather
jackets and shot the scores skyward.
The result was that the gallery on
Saturday was small, with about 500
paid admissions. But throng esti-
mated at possibly 2,700 persons watched
Runycn, Horton Smith, Tommy Armour,
Craig Wood, Densmore Shute, Kozak
and t:e rest Of the big shots on Sunday,
finally converging late in the afternoon
on the threesome. which included Run
yan, Craig Wood and Al Watrous, to
watch the careful youngster from Ar
kansas plod down to the final hole to
collect the major slice Of the prize
dough.
Kenwood seems, in SO far as the
weather for the National Capital open
is concerned, to have chosen a bad
week. Obviously the tournament-wise
Kenwood folk arrange their dates for
the National Capital open to fit in
with dates for the Pinehurst Mid-South
event, which usually falls around the
middle of November. But for the past
three years the bogie of bad weather
has dogged the National Capital open.
Perhaps some deal might be made with
the Pinehurst folks to have their tour
ney week earlier, which would prob
ably give the Kenwood event. coming
on the Saturday and Sunday preceding
Pinehurst, a better break in the weather
For during the week preceding the Ma
tional Capital open tourney the weather
was of the usual mild variety which
Washington customarily enjoys early

A MOTHER National Capital
" open golf championship

wood Golf and Country
Club in 1884.
A tentative roundup of the
financial receipts from the Sue
eessful tourney which ended late
Sunday, with the lions share of
the purse resting in the pocket
of meticulous little Paul Runyan,
diScloses that the tourney went
''over the top" in so far as ex-
penses were concerned.
Club officials, viewing the receipts
with weather eye on the deficits of the
last two years, joyfully announce that
other tourney starring the big shots"
OF the game, will be held in 1884.
The gallery which saw Runyan, las
pounds of golfng dynamite, carefully
protect his lead up to the final putt,
which won first money of $500 for him,
looked like the biggest crowd which
ever has viewed the final day Of the
National Capital open tourney. Final
gate receipts have not yet been counted
and will not be made known for several
days, but tournament officials, jubilant
over the success Of the affair, conf
dently predict that year hence may
see the deficits of 1881 and 1882 COM

material, Mons. Joe Turner,
local rassling promoter, will have
new material galore when he
makes his debut as an independ-
ent matchmaker Thursday at the
Washington Auditorium.
In addition to Zaharias and fellow
members of the Londos tribe, who still
are available, Turner will have no less
than six new prospects appearing on
the initial card. They are Sander
Szabo, Ernie Dusek, Joe Savoldi, Roland
krchmeyer, Jack Sherry and Man
Mountain Dean.
Szabo and Dusek, two young and tall
ented fellahs who clash in the main
event, boasted large followings when
they frequented the Capital under the
banner OF Jim LondoS. Both are reck-
oned among the best.

Roland Kirchmeyer, 6-foot 7-inch giant
from the Middle West. A short time

next champion, but somehow he was
sidetracked. Savoldi and Kirchmeyer
will clash in the semi -windup.
Dean, the other possibility to develop
into foil for Jim Browning, the title
claimant, needs little introduction, al
though this will be his first visit to
Washington. The 301 -pounder, be-
whiskered and actually possessed of
some skill as a rassler, Is reputed to
