KWOLIDGE AND t(AIHERS
3Iore than 81x Hundred Guests of the
New M1IUrd Forced Out'of Bed at
Early Hour.
'Washington, April 23.-Vicd-Presi
'dent Coolidge, several members of the
Senate and 'House of Representatives
and many other .perlsons prominent in
' public, business and social life, were
among some 600 guests of the 'New
Villard .Hotel who were routed out
of their beds at an early hour this
m~norning by a 'ire which swept the top
-floor :f the ten-story structure at
Pennsylvania avenue and Fot rteenth
street.
Theiblaze had Its origin in the ball
omon the tenth floor, where a few
hours 'before iPresident Ilarding, Mr.
Coolidge and members of the cabinet
and scantors and representatives, for
eign diplomats and Others had sat
around tho ibanquet board as guests
of the GvridIron Club at its annual
spring dinner and I'mlic. The 1re was
confined to that floor and the roof
.above, but tons of twater poured Into
.the flames escped through to the floors
below, causing much lamage.
'There was some cnTusion amd .ex
-citement as hotel attaches, police
men and firemen ipoonded on doors
and the telephone operator on duty
called room after room, but all those
in the hotel got out of their apart
ments to the corridors amnd lobbies in
'safety. fMany went to other hotels
carrying at least part of their lug
,gage with them, but scores remnin'ed
at tile New Willard and returned to
tileir rooms after the, fire had been
,extinguished.
'How the fire started may never be
'determined, but one theory is that a
'cigarette or cigar stump cast aside at
'the close of the gridiron dinner found
. lodging place underneath a rug or in
:a fold of heavy drapery. .it was 5:45
o'clock when a passing policeman no
ticed smoke coming from the tenth
floor windows. He turned in an. alarm
and then rushed into tile hotel, inform
-ilg tMe night clerk.
Several fire companies 'were on tile
scene i-n a few .minutes. The clatter
of their g'ongs woke 'Vice-President
Coolidge, who, u1:0nn going to a window
saw aparatus drawing I) across the
street. lHe called Mrs, Coolidge, re
marked that there was a fire in the
neighborhiood and suggested .that they
talking- they learned th t. tile fire was
inI the hotel. Leaving their apartment
on the third floor they descended to
the lobby and Mrs. 'Coolidge was sent
to the home of tile vice-president's
eretary, 'Edward T. Clarke.
I. Coolidge relaineil at the hltel,
Vere he Was again joincd in the atf
ternoon by 'Mrs. Coolidge. le is the
second successive vce-president of
to United States to have e'perienced
a fire at the New Willard. a blaze hav
ing routed out the vice- president and
Mrs. Marshall late on"' m1l'4nl nearly
four years ago.
Ibrigadier General 1C. E. 'Sawyer,
personal physician to President Hard
ig, and Mrs. Sawyer were awakened
by attendants and later found shelter
at thle (White House. Thleir apartment
was eogisiderably damaged 'by water.
Other 'prointent guests in tile
hotel incl'udled General Charles G.
Daives, director of tile 'budget; Gen
eral T. Coleman DurPont, senator from
-Delawaros ,senators McNary, Oregon,
and Rawson, Iowa; .John 'r. Adamis,
of Iowa, chlairman of. tihe Republican
national commnittee; Mrs. George May
nard Minor, presideont-genleral of tile
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion; John Phlilip Sousa, and Olga
'Petrova.

LOW COAL IDEMAND
DOMINANT FACTOR
Takes Precedence in Strike R!8:uIts,
Below Daily Output.
Washington, April 23.-Lack of do
mand, rathe'r than strike conditions,
coilltiiucs to hold down bituminous
coal production accordink to latest
.figures ass6mbled by the United
States geological survey, On Tuea
day ad(] 'Wednesday of last wee'k,
however, the output jumTped to above
1d,000 car loads per day, againsIt
7,917 cars on Alonday, the low point
registered by the eftect of Raster
holidays. For the tweek ending April
15 the bituminous output .of th% -colin
try was placed at 3,075,000 tolis, and
the .survey report observed that "more
coal could be produced if thle demand
Increased, since the 'full tapacity of
non-union flelds has not :yet been
brought out.'
Prom the union .stanipoint, "the
strike is running along 'iI a normal
fashion," the United hine 'Workers de
clared in a statemeift tdallay. EffortF
1o get non-union minems to join theh
urganized craft fellows -were asserted
to be progressing most satisfactorily
with aliprox'lmately VO000 of then
now out, "and good reason for tht
prediction that the coniing week wili
add 25,000 moe." Th -advance of the
union into unorganizell fields was de
clare dito be most dffective in West
-morelud, Fayette, and Greene coun
ties, Pennsylvania, which are sources
of steel industry coIe.
1ention of the Various legal pro
ceedings resulting Trom the strike
was made in the union's discussion o,
the sitqation and reference to the ap
proachIng treason trhils In West Vir
ginia, tw'here leaders of the so-called
"miners' army" whic*h advanced to
close non-union coal operators "whose
lawyers are leading the cases, rather
than state of West Virginia," the mine
workers said, "disclose the real pur
pose behind these Indictments" was
to "break -up the miners' union and
drive it out of West Virginia. The
great bulk of non-union commercial
soft coal, the survey report shows,
is now from this state."
Government agencies indicated
some activity last week in connection
with the price situatidn. Following
the ilIuiry by Secretary of 1fabor
Davis and Attorney General Daugher
1y into local and, so far, only slight
advances of coal prices, several oper
ators of large . non-union coal prop
crties came to Washington yesterday
and iwere closeted in various confer
ences with high government officials.
Silence was maintained by all -parties
to th6 discussion -but it is under
stood that leaders in the coal industry
have been told that any development
of a "runaway market" would alter
overnight the "hands off" policy main
tained by the administration since
April 1, after all its efforts to induce
operators and miners -to confer in ad
vance of the walkout . had proved
futile.
The geological survey's report to
clay dealt largely with the existing
soft coal surplus, which is held by in,
dustrial observers to be the price
controlling element at present. About
4,000,000 tonls a week is 'being taken
from tils surplus, whlich amounted to
63,000,000 tons wh'len the'strike began,
thle survey said. Cars of coal on tihe
tracks, but Iwithlout buyers on April
15, numbered 28,745, a decline from
April 1 when tile total was 31,373. Cal'
Eup'ply at mines, formerly a cause of
l owered production, thle survey saidl,
was "wvell-nig-h perfect," -adiding that
all of its figures on coal stocks and
productions came .from sources un
concer'ned wvithl controv'ersial views of
operators andl minors.
"Consumers ar'e not 'buying enouigh
to call out full production of those
mlnes wihel are ready to wvork," wvas
thle sur'vdy's analysissof the situation.
