fore Fairfield retired the side.
Ed Slyh pitched his first game of the
season for the locals and allowed but
two hits during the five innings he
toiled on the mound. In the sixth he
temporarily lost control and walked
the first two batsmen to face him. Ad-
ans then replaced Slyh on the mound
and held the Fairfield boys scoreless.
Win Great Game
Jeffersonville, champions of Lafay-
cite county last year, and winners of
three games this year, met their first
defeat at the hands of the local high
school baseball team on Wednesday
afternoon by score of 7-5.
Layton Burris, London's starting
pitcher, twirled good baseball for the
three innings he worked, allowing JEFF
fersonvi'le but two hits. Costly er-
rors on the part of the local infielders,
however, proved his downfall and be-
fore Adams, who had replaced Burris,
could retire the side, three runners had
crossed the plate.
Due to the six runs scored by Lon
don in the second inning, Burris is
credited with the victory. Adams
pitched his usual steady game and
struck out six men in the four innings
he worked.
Herriott, Campbell, Rowe, Shaw and
Reed did the most timely hitting for
London, while Coe lead the Jefferson
vile batters with two hits.

CODE SOON
by international News Service

BY international News Service
Submission Of a permanent
code of fair competition for the
anthracite industry was expected
at NRA headquarters late today
or tomorrow.
A committee of the Anthracite
institute was conducting a final
conference on the code today in
New York.
Small Operators Dissatisfied
It was said that the chief diff
Guilty encountered in drafting the
code was in satisfying the demand
of smaller mine operators for ade-
quate sales opportunities and ade-
quate representation on the pro-
posed code enforcement commit
tee.
AS the code now stands in COM
mittee, independent producers
claim that the six large railroad
subsidiary producers would be
able to engage in cut-price compe-
tition that would drive the smaller
mine operators out of business.
To prevent this they are striving
to include in the code "stop-loSS"
provisions similar to those in the
master retail code.
Representation Sought
To insure enforcement Of those
provisions the smaller producers
are fighting for more representa-
ton on the proposed code author
ity.
It was said the code now would
set up an authority which would
be packed" against the smaller
operators, in relation of eight
members to four. Efforts are be-
ing made to raise the ratio to a
10-to-6 basis.

STRIKE CLOSES
MINES IN 10
COUNTIES

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 27 U.N.S0.
BituminouS coal mining opera
tions in 10 heavy-tonnage counties
of western Pennsylvania were
virtually paralyzed today by the
tightening grip of the soft coal
workers holiday"
Mushrooming throughout the
entire region, the movement was
spreading rapidly today. Flat
failure marked desperate efforts
of recognized mine union leaders
to send the men back to the pits.
Striking swiftly on widely
separated fronts, picket groups
from Fayette county, cradle OF
the walkout, assembled before
dawn and extended the strikes
scope into hitherto untouched
territory.
80 Per Cent of Men Out
Union leaders conceded that
fully 10000 miners-about 80 per
cent of the normal working force
have joined the holiday move
ment. Figuring the average pay
of a miner at $3.50 a day, a
daily payroll of $245, 900 has been
wiped out by the strike. In
addition, there is an inestimable
financial and wage loss to rail
road and river traffic serving the
coal fields.
A complete time-up Of all
mining activity was predicted by
John Ghizzoni, member Of the
international board of the United
Mine Workers of AMERICA.
Mass Marches Close Mines
Mass marches by pickets re,

tions in several additional coun'
ties this morning. These included

to return to their jobs fell on deaf

with officers and directors of the

Two new agricultural financing
agencies were organized, namely
the Production Credit Corpora
ton of Baltimore and the Balti-
more Bank for Agricultural Co

The two new institutions. the

fair competition with them at
any rate less than S. a day.
The Alabama operators have
presented to the NRA many rea-
sons why they should not be
forced to pay workers more than
a minimum of SO per day. One Of
the chief reasons is that higher
wage would cause many of their
more important consumers to
start using natural gas as fuel.
Many major coal consumers in
the region already have switched
from coal to gas, it was charged.
