 ON NRA CODE,
 ONE INDUSTRY
Temporary Restraining Order Served, Favoring
 Suit and Coat Makers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-An ord- CT WIS served yesterday temporar- fly restraining MIRA and other Federal officials enforcing the Suit and Ccal Industry Code against five Connecticut manufacturers who challenged the codes constitution ality.
 The temporary injunction is be- lieyed to be the first aimed directly at MIRA. It was issued by Judge Edwin s. Thomas, of the United States District Court pending a hearing January 15.
 The five petitioners are Phillip Scapellati; Independent Cloak Com pany, Incorporated; Sckol Bros. Inecrpcrated; Parisian Garm n Company, and Biltrigat Garment Manufacturing Company.
 The complainants alleged the code for their industry amounts to unlawful interference in the pro- cess of manufacturing by Interstate Commerce, contrary to the Consti- tuition of the United States
 The minimum wage provision ot the code is especially criticised on the grounds that it required diff ferent wage scales in different sec tions of the country.

Connie Mack's five-star final disbursement sale of baseball ivory, while primarily due to the embar- rassing financial circumstances of the Athletics, is likewise the most signal development So far in the attempt to give better balance to the clubs of the American League. I have no doubt this thought and aim was very much in mind when Mack consulted his associates on the business of unloading one of the greatest player collections in the game. It is fair to assume, for example, that the Yankees and possibly Cleveland would bid high CT for the services of Grove and Cochrane than any other club in the league. Perhaps Mack got what he wanted or demanded, anyway, in the cash transactions, but it is also a fact he benefited the Ameri- can League by enabling Detroit to get the type of playing leader it desires and Boston to take title b the best pitching arm in the league
 Grove and Cochrane, the greatest big league battery since Mathew son and Bresnahan are the pair Mack will miss. He has up and coming replacements for the oth- CTS.

 There can be no undsr-estima- ton of the real value of Grove. He belongs with the great pitchers Of all time. For consistency of par- formance under pressure he has no superior and few equals.
 NeWspapernen sometimes found Grove bit surly and at best a tough customer to interview. He entertained few if any fancy thsor- ies about life in general or basa- ball in particular. Naturally big and strong, he had no occasion to be temperamental Rarely has his arm ever bothered him. For seven consecutive years he has won 20 or mor5 games for the As. In six of the last eight seasons he haI led the American League pitcheri in effectiveness.
 Going on 34 years of age, Grove still has plenty of great pitchiny left in his system. Some of the old fire may be gone from his high hard ones, but his control is stil' good. He has averaged participat- ing in 45 games per season for nine consecutive years. He will b. a boon to the Red Sox from the standpoint alone of not being among their opponents for 1884.

Many Great planners"
There have been many great men
who initiated salutary economic re-
forms. from Hammurabi and Charlie
magne to Napoleon and Bismarck.
These successful reformers never did
any economic planning" of the second
type. They merely translated into law
the tendencies that free economic
forces were already developing, or that
continued development required, or
they abolished some outworn survival
of the past. Thus was serfdom abol-
ished in Russia, slavery in the United
States and the corn laws in England.
No economic planner ever suppressed
slavery. so long as it was profitable to
the whole nation. Peonage will dis
appear in Latin America when it be-
comes improbable. No minimum wage
law was enforced anywhere at any
time unless the workers could earn
the stipulated wages.
The only economic planner of any
consequence in American history was
Alexander Hamilton. He was ordered
to do the planning for new country,
under ideal conditions. He was a
