10. A hristlinsr complaint against the bituminous code promulgated by the recovei administration was lodged with Administrator Hugh S. Johnson today by Northern and Southern operators. Despite its caustic terms and sweeping denunciation of the code, it was received without misgivings by the administrator, who described it as phrased in language "of a professional legal nature." He immediately drew attention to the fact that. Appalachian operators and officials of the United -Mine Workers were continuing their work of framing waie contracts in a "co-opera- tive, conciliatory and reasonable attitude," and expressed his undiminished faith that an agreed code would be put in operation next week.

Rights of Management. As. to some of the statements in the brief which to the untutored miht indicate an unbridgeable to an agreement, the administrator smilingly rejoined those "few rather extreme statements" were not to be considered unusual "in highly adversary briefs."

Board Representation. Severe objection was made to the fact that the big Appalachian region, producing about 70 per cent of the tonnage, was to be given no proportionate authority and representation on governing boards. It pointed out that while the I Appalachian district produced more than 220,000,000 tons, it i would have no greater voice in the councils of the National Bi-! tuminotis Coal Board than the Alahama-Georgia-Tennesiee district which produces only tons. The brief pointedly objected to the minimum wages stipulated In the Johnson code. Under the recovery law, the brief contended, the administrator had the right only to fix the wage of what was, in fact, the lowest paid in the mines, whereas the minimums fixed in the Johnson code were those for "inside labor." District Cods Advocated.

The brief hinted the cod whs rtgarded as "visionary" and 'impracticable" because it propped a rationalization of coal producers. The plea was advanced for separate codes for various dsti v.s as the only method by which permanent stabilization could be attained. Indications at recovery headquarters were that some of the objections voiced by the operators would be met. Particularly, it was indicated, the sections devoted to th bituminous board would be changed to give the Appalachian district greater authority ia its deliberations.

There is ample evidence that so far as the administration is concerned, both Mackrell and McArdle arc in the same class both enemies. The Mackrell statement Saturday that the Citizens League was "secretly allied with the machine in its effort to win the Republican nomination for the present mayor" was very obviously a perversion of logic.

10. iJP) A sanguinary riot, started by 12 long-term convicts during a prison baseball game here this afternoon resulted in the death of two guards and a convict and the escape of 11 of the desperadoes in a visitor's automobile. A half dozen persons were wounded as the prisoners opened fire on the baseball crowd to cover their re- treat. One of the original 12 rioters was shot and killed as the heavily loaded machine sped through the main gate of the penitentiary with its occupants sending volleys of i rifle and shotgun fire at pursuers. Arnold Dafis, trusty guard, and J.

W. Fletcher, free guard, were slain in the prison yard in a vain defense of the prison armory, which was looted of guns and ammunition by the rioting prisoners. Frison officials said tonight that the 11 escaped convicts were believed to have been surrounded by a posse of 300 men in a sugar cane field south of the farm.

Each day brings its quota of deaths and new cases, offset, however, by the discharge from hospitals and the care of physicians of increasing numbers of cured patients.

In a statement substantiating its assertion of the Mackrell-En-gelsberg association, the league recited the investigation made by a committee of seven, including Judge James H. Gray, in 1921.
