By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 7. The
story behind the wholesale resigns
tlon of the retail coal code authority
la a tale flaming
with red hot NBA
clinkers.
The authority
and lta 49 chil
dren are support
ed by the Nation
al Retail Dealera.
That la, salariea
and expenses of
the code authori
ty here and of
the aub-authorl-tlea
In each of
the 48 atatea and
' the- District of
Paul Mailon
Columbia are contributed by the coal
men themselves.
NO one would cry about that, except
that the main Job of the sub-authorl
ties appeara to have been the fixing
of prices for their respective etaies.
Tou can readily eee what an Inferno
can be smoked up when the coal men
pay the salaries of the boys who fix
the prices for them.
Not only that, but 30,000 (count up
how much that Is) of the contribu
tion went to a Philadelphia lawyer as
a fee for legal advice to the code au
thority. And NBA lnsldera aay the
lawyer Is one who desbelleves In the
NRA and thinks It Is unconstitu
tional. What really fanned the situation
Into flames was a development In St.
Louis.
Loyal NBA men here aay that the
St. Louis school board tried to buy
some coal and found the prlee con
siderably higher. It was told the NRA
had ordered ths Increase. The attorney-general
out there Investigated,
threatened anti-trust action and de
manded that the coal aubauthorlty
be fired.
The NRA here then got busy and
ordered all regional coal code authori
ties to aubmlt their cost and price
data to Waahlngton before permitting
new prices to go Into effect. The code
authority here resigned In protest and
it la assumed some of the regional
sub-authorltlee will .shortly follow
suit.
Thus the NRA Is getting coals of
fire headed upon It head for trying
to decrease prices, and the code might
as well he In the ash can.
There ha been a lot of inside talk
around here lately that Mr. Hoover
will worlc a line Into hla "challenge
to liberty," saying he does not choose
to run In 1036.
Friends who have aeen the manu
script awear there la nothing like
that in It. They do not believe any-
thing eo definite could have been ln
7 aerted by the ex-presldent after they
saw the manuscript, although they
are not sure.
They srgue convincingly that Mr.
Hoover could not make auch a state

liteness and politics. It would cer
