Warrington. April o.-(Resoft coal
operators from five states massed
forces Monday 70 overthrow Hugh s..
Johnsons MIRA mandate for shorter
hours and higher wages.
The battle-ground was tho floor Of
NRA's public hearing on the recent
amendment to the bituminous coal
code. This extended the seven-hour
working day and . compromising In.
crease In wages to al soft coal mines.
Administration officials conceded
the order Was one Of the most drastic
steps In code-making yet taken by
JOHNSON. They pointed out. however,
It WAS purely . stop-gap measure
designed to prevent approximately
100000 miners from going on strike
upon expiration a. the old wage scale
last April I.
The administration has announced
those objectins to the amendment win
b given every opportunity TO prove
their right 70 exemption from it,

Although It was approved BY I mai
ority q the operators In the Appala-
chan region, strong opposition to the
new wage and hour schedule was
voiced BY operators In Illinois. Ala
hama, Kentucky. West Virginia And
TenpeGDee.
Many Of these groups had contracts
With the United Mine Workers Of
America which do not expire until
next year and almost unanimously
they ooutended the higher rates and
shorter hours would force them out
of business.

cussd Of Violating Cor.
rupt Practices Act

Washington, April o.-(R-Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., militant Method
ist leader. and q feminine aide In his
antf-A Smith movement in 1928,
were called to criminal court Monday
to answer for their handling Of funds
In the Hoover Smith campaign.
Charged with conspiracy to violate
the corrupt practices act, Cannon and
Miss Ada L. Burroughs Of Richmond
Va, II convicted. would face . posi-
BILE two years imprisonment or &c.
900 fine, or both.
The specific charge Is that only
@l7,3o0 Of the $65. 800 contribution
made by Edwin G. Jameson Of New
York to the anti-smith movement
was reported by the anti-smith Dem
ocratic headquarters committee, q
required by law. Cannon was chair
man Of this group and Miss Bur-
roughs was treasurer.
The trial turned the pages Of his
tory back six years to the birth at
Asheville, N. G.. Of the bitter drive In
the south against Alfred Z. Smith
Democratic presidential nominee.
Here n the history Of the action
which ct various times has been on
the front pages Of the nations news
papers:
Began IN 1850
Representative Tinkham (Rep.
Mass) charged ct . hearing Of the
senate lobby investigating COMMITTEES
In 1880 that Cannons anti-smitt
committee, In the 1928 campaign, had
not reported al contributions made
to It.
Canaan. called by the committee
walked out Of the hearing.
Another committee, with broade,
powers. called him again.
Its report, charging that the Can
non group had reported only $l7.300
OF $65. 800 contribution by z. G.
Jameson, went to the district attor-
ney.
Cannon and Miss Burroughs were
indicted In October, 1881.
In November. 1881, Cannon asked
the district court here to quash the
indictment on the ground that It was
faulty. and that the corrupt practices
act was unconstitutional.
The District Of Columbia supreme
court, leaving the constitutionality
count untouched, ruled the indict-
ment was improperly drawn.
The court Of appeals reversed this
decision.
The United States supreme court
held the law constitutional and the
indictment proper In part.
A $4,000 libel suit against Tink-
ham was filed by Cannon In Z Mas
tachusetts court.
