Buyers who sought fair quantities Of

as current orders are filled. This new
attitude on the part OF mills is causing
apprehension to those buyers who

SON OF PUBLICITY HEAD
IS TAKEN FROM SCHOOL
Father Says His Divorced Wife
Removed Son From Exclusive
Private Institution.

CHICAGO, September "A LP).-Six-
year-old John Ashenhurst. son of John
w. Ashenhurst, publicity department
head for local packing concern, was
absent from an exclusive private school
here today. The father said he learned
his divorced wife had spirited the child
away.
AshenhurSt, a former newspaper man,
was divorced about year ago from the
former Ann Schumacher of Baltimore
whom he met and married while work
ing in Paris for an American news
paper.
Ashenhurst said his former wife ap-
peared at the school yesterday with an
other woman, presumably her sister, and
two men and drove away with the
child. The boy had been staying with
his mother during the Summer and
Ashenhurst said apparently the mother
took the child because of an argument
they had over what school John should
attend.

divisions of the soft coal fields. These
have been under discussion in separate
sessions of various coal groups and to-
day meeting was scheduled between
administration men and representatives
of the big Appalachian area.
The revised draft of other sections
of the code shaped by the operators was
reported to have been agreed to unani-
mously by the Is members Of the Code
Committee who, administration officials
said, represented 81 per cent Of the
countryS coal production.
Simpson, discussing the report Of the
newly completed revision by operators,
said he had not yet seen their draft
and did not know how close it would
be to acceptable terms for the code
He indicated some optimism at the de-
velopment. but warned that this step
was not sufficient yet to assure quick
solution of the coal troubles.
Came to See Ickes.
Pinchot came to Washington pri-
marlly to confer with Secretary 1ckes
of the Interior Department about a
S48 1000 900 public works grant for the
flood control in the Allegheny and
Monongahela Rivers.
Union contract negotiations were to
be resumed between Appalachian COM
mercial operators and the United Mine
Workers of America this morning.
Administration officials refused to
predict when the code would be COM
pleted. Some operators thought nego-
tiations would last until the middle of
next week. but others questioned
whether Mr.. Roosevelt would permit
so long delay in view of strike con-
ditions.
Fear Spread Of Strike.
Although they have continually at
tempted to keep the Western Pennsyl-
vania miners at work, union leaders
expressed no great surprise upon learn
ing that 80, GOO had agreed to take q
holiday until the code was completed
Operators coming in from the fields
have said the labor situation was
charged with dynamite" The miners
grew tired of waiting for the expected
pay increases and cut in working hours
They have sent to the Coal Arbitra-
ton Board dozens Of charges that op-
orators had violated terms of the truce
which ended a Midsummer strike in
the same region. They have contended
operators have endeavored to thwart
growth of the union.
Both mine union officials and opera
tors feared the strike would spread
northeastward into Central Pennsyl-
vania and southwark into West Vir-
ginia. Some predicted a nearly COM
plete shutdown of the Appalachian
region unless a code were completed
by next week.
