CIings to Expectation Rather
Than Impose One and In
vite Court Test.
RETAIL PACT EXPECTED
TOBE SUBMITTED TODAY
Miners and Operators Decline to
Discuss Negotiations on
Labor Contracts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite pleas for delay from NJ r. A. S
Consumers Advisory Board. the retail
code-covering more workers and more
individual employers establishments
than any other trade compact-was
being prepared today for presentation to
Administrator Hugh s. johnson tonight
or tomorrow, with the hope that Presi-
dent Roosevelt could sign 1t within a
day or two.
While the muddle over the new
bituminous coal code drafted by john
son continued uncleared pending to-
morrow's public hearing. Deputy Ad-
ministrator Arthur D. Whiteside was
finishing a report Of the retail agree
ment. which carries requirement that
prices be maintained at at least 10 per
cent more than the invoice cost Of
goods.
The Consumers Board had asked
that this provision be studied carefully
because of possible consequences Of such
price-control policy, but Whiteside
resolved not to delay the agreement
Whether Johnson. with the coal prob
lem on his hands. would be able to pass
up on the retail code and lay it be-
fore the President quickly, however. was
not definite
Coal activities centered on the draft
ing OF union contracts to regulate rela-
tions between the hitherto non-u union
operators Of the North and South Ap-
palachian areas and the United Mine
Workers. who claim to have organized
these areas completely.
johnson Appears Optimistic.
johnson appeared at his Office today
looking cheerful and optimistic despite
the barrage of objections fired at his
code by the big mine operating groups
and the threat of new strikes in Penn
sylvania mines. He clung to the eX-
pressed expectations of winning an
agreement on the code rather than hav
ing to impose one upon the industry
and thus invite q court test of the in
dustrial control law which might
hamper the entire program.
When negotiations on union labor
contracts for coal mines were resumed
today, both operators and miners de-
cEned to discuss them. Gen. johnson
said, however, they were going forward
toward an agreement.
Philip Murray Of Pittsburgh, interna-
tional vice president of the United Mine
ton, w Va. district president, repre-
sented the union.
Charles ONeill Of New York. vice
president of Peale, Peacock &, Kerr, ana
Duncan Kennedy of Charleston repre-
sentec the operators. Both O'Neill and
Kennedy are former officials in the
United Mine Workers.
Object to Labor Relations.
Many Of the coal operators objec-
tions to the code drafted by Johnson
deal with labor relations-a subject
which yesterday drew from Senator
Wagner of New York an appeal that
employers and employees forget all
feuds" and back the Presidents pro-
gram by submitting their disputes to
the National Labor Board" of which
he is chairman.
In the minds of some coal men was
the thought that Johnson eventually
would have to impose a code because
of an inability to harmonize the many
conflicting views. But Johnson himself

RUSSIA MAY TRADE
EXPORTS WITH u. S.
Proposed Barter Program
Would Widen Market for
Farm Goods.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 31-Trade discus
sions between the United States and
Russia. looking toward an enlargement
Of the export market for American ag-
ricultural products, will take concrete
form within few days, it was reliably
indicated yesterday.
They will center largely on cotton and
live Stock-two of the Soviet Unions
prime needs.
In these trade negotiations, which
probably will be extended later to en-
compass revival of machinery exports,
the Amtorg Trading Corporation, So
Wet agency, will deal directly with
representatives Of the Government in
Washington.
Neither nation is working toward
trade agreement, it was understood,
but instead both contemplate bartering
as far as possible. In return, Russia
can ship manganese, chrome ore furs,
foodstuffs, pulp wood (spruce) and as
bestoS, among other products
Peak Reached in 1880.
The peak of Russian imports from
the United States was reached in 1880,
the first year after the market crash.
They shot up from $85,000,000 in 1929
to $114,0O0,000.
In 1881, exports to Russia fell off
slightly to $l04O00, 900, and in 1882
tumbled to S13 600, 600. In all of these
OF our exports to the Soviet Union were
in machinery.
In the view of Amtorg, two things
brought about this drastic decline: First,
lack of favorable credit in the United
States and the finding of credit in Eu-
ropean markets; and second opposi-
tion by some American groups to Amer
lean trade.
The Soviets feel now they can look
for favorable credit action, if any is
needed, inasmuch as the forthcoming
negotiations will be under official sane
tion of the administration.
An indication of the extent of the
Russan market for cotton is seen in the
negotiations of a year ago for the pur-
chase by Amtorg of upward of 100000
bales of Dixie cotton.
Opposed by Farm Board.
The deal collapsed after opposition
arose in the Federal Farm Board. Since
then the Soviet Union adopted sit
back-and-Wait" policy as applied to
America, and made no move to stimu-
late trade between the two nations on
such widespread scale.
Although it has doubled cotton pro-
duction since the opening year of the
World War, Russia by no means can
raise enough to fill its needs In 1882
Russia imported upward Of 50,000,000
pounds of cotton; in the two years pre-
vious approximately twice that much
with only a small portion coming from
the United States.
Annually the U. S. S. R. imports
around 100000 pounds Of live stock,
again with this country sharing in only
@ small way. Last year Russia turned
to Canada to satisfy its live stock needs,
but reputed official opposition developed
and the negotiations collapsed.

They took all the wounded prisoners,
and I was one who was captured. The
next day they laid us all out IN double

any tents, SO they set crotched sticks

across them for shelter.
But that didn't help much. because
it began to rain. And how it rained,

The old soldiers interesting story was
cut short by the notes of a bugle, an

shortage in transportation facili-

OF beer itself, the major brewing

brought out that, with the COM
pletion of the Phoenix-Blythe road
to Coachella Valley, Highway U. S.
30 would have a strong competitor
and vigorous action would be nee
essary If Imperial Valley is to con-
tinue to attract its present large
share of motor traffic.
Plans were discussed for the erec-
tion of signs at junction points and
for the distribution of maps Show
ing the motor routes leading into
and through Imperial Valley. Th[/9,
present were very enthusiastic and
all in attendance expressed their
willingness to assist in the group
action which would continue to
give to Imperial Valley the large
flow Of motor traffic to which it
has been accustomed.
Plan Good Will Trip
Plans we're also discussed for a
goodwill trip to Phoenix where di-
versions are made and maintenance
of a lighted sign at the junction
point at Coachella Valley where the
Blythe-Phoenix road diverges from
Highway Route u. S. SO was dis
cussed, and the executive commit
tee which was later named was in
structed to devise plans for the
maintenance of this important
sign.

tect their interest, he stated, it
would be necessary for this group

CITY ORDERLY
IN DRINKING

Scheduled to take place at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, a spe-
cial meeting of the city council to
discuss the framing of an ordinance
to tax and regulate the traffic in
the new 80 beer in Ell Centre was
postponed until Monday afternoon
when it was learned that the state
legislature had adjourned for the
week end and would not take ur
the consideration of this question
again until Monday.
This leaves the local situation ir
regard to the sale of beer just al
it was yesterday morning when the
first truckloadS of the new lega
brew began rolling into the city
Holders of licenses to dispense soft
drinks may continue to sell the 81
beer until some definite action is
taken by the council.
That Ell Centrans enjoyed the
opportunity to quaff their brew
without the necessity of crossing
the border was evidenced by the
brisk business carried on through
out the day by local cafes and soft
drink stands most of which had
laid in stock of the legalized beer
Long before nightfall, however, the
supply had vanished and frantic
efforts were being made by whole
salers to secure enough to last al
least over the weekend.
Information obtained at both the
local police station and at the sher-
ifs office indicates that while
much beer was consumed it was
done In an orderly fashion anc
there was an absolute minimum Of
disturbance both in the city anc
throughout the county due to the
beer. Not a single report of drunk
enness was brought in to the sher-
ifs office during the day or night
and while one or two such cases
were on record at the police sta
tion this morning, officers there
are convinced that they were not
due to the beer now on sale.

DODGERS, CUBS AND PIRATES
LOOK GOOD IN SENIOR LOOP

Pittsburgh all but wen the pen
nant last year. Given similar early
and midsummer success and if the
Pirates can stave off a collapse
like the one which ricocheted the
Cubs into the title, the Pittsburgh
team would be a good bet. The
Pirates are virtually the same club
this year as last. They got Fred
die Lindstrom from the Giants to
bolster both the outfield and the
offense and a few new rookie
pitchers, but, generally the Pirates
will rely upon the 1882 combina-
tion.
Cubs Like Pirates
The Cubs are like the Pirates in
this respect. Chicago's important
addition came in the purchase from
Cincinnati of the unfathomable
Floyd Caves Herman, who can and
does hit often and far. The Cubs
also have taken on some green
pitchers. But the utter rout at the
hands of the Yankees in the last
world series, which came after
what baseball men believe was an
accident-the late collapse CT the
Pirates-does not inspire confidence
for title repeat.
The Cubs chances we're damaged
further when Kiki Cuyler, star out
fielder, broke leg.
The Phillies are starting their
golden anniversary" in the majors
but they were fourth last year, and
no between-season development in
dicates much improvement. An al
ready none too powerful pitching
staff has been weakened by trans
fer of Ray Benge.
Besides, they released GEORGE
Davis to the Giants and got little
in exchange for second -baseman
Mickey Finn who will fill this gap.
The deals were made because the
Phils needed money. Philadelphia
however, is always dangerous be-
cause Chuck Klein and Don Hurst
are rated among the toughest bat
ters in either league.
