The battleground is NRA's pub- lic hearing on the recent amend- ment to the Bituminous Coal Code. Administration officials conceded the order one of the most drastic steps in code making yet faced by Gen. Johnson, pointing out, how- ever that was the stop gap measure designed to prevent 200,000 miners striking on expiration of the old wage scale last April 1. Although the amendment was approved by a majority of the op- erators in the Appalachian Region, strong opposition to the new wage and hour schedule was voiced by operators in Illinois, Alabama, :Kemucky, West Virginia and Ten- nessee.
