and finally dispersed. Later. a lock
was affixed to the front door.
Starting about l o'clock yester-
day afternoon. patrons of The
Hardway" began drifting to Third
street and Pennsylvania avenue,
where they failed to find automo-
biles which would transport them
to their favorite den. After wait
ing for some time. they finally
learned that the cars were not
running, and that the house was
closed indefinitely. This informa-
ton was forthcoming from auto
starters and other employees.
Advices received We're to the eff
feet that the house would reopen
within a few days, while other re-
ports said that the reopening would
be in two weeks or as soon las this
trouble blows over" Then the re-
port came that the bosses" were
away on much needed vacation
Early in the evening when the
night shift of house employees
started congreg eating around this
corner for transportation to the
club they were met by one of the
bosses" and told that they would
be notified when the house would
reopen. which. in his words, would
be very shortly"
Den Near Alexandria Dark.
The gambling house. just this side
of Alexandria carries a small and
select clientele. These persons were
notified almost before they had
started for their usual haunt that
the house was closed.
A small number of cars started for
the house just across the Potomac,
only to be met near that place and
told that there was nothing doing"
Only a grounds caretaker was to
be found at the latest addition to
the ring of dens. located off Con-
duit road Inquiry revealed the
house was closed.
The tables on which the many
games of chance are operated in
various gambling dens are merely
pool tables on which loose cloth
bearing the layout" is superim-
posed This cloth is held down by
means of the 'sideboards, eight
inches wide, which are fastened
within the side rails.
Transformed Into Club.
Rumors of raid start process
of transformation which takes but
a moment and instead of room full
of gamblers. entrants. will find con-
genial clubmen playing Billiards. or
looking on.
This is true in all cases with the
exception of "Jimmy's." At this
house, the tables have evidently
been built for the purpose for which
they are used and could not be dis
mantled into the regulation pool
table. These tables were apparently
built for dice-shooting and, from all
have wfthstood very
long and hard service.

The making OF a basic settle
ment in the central competitive

following settlement in all Of the
outlying bituminous coal districts
and should pave the way for an I'M

suit will be acclaimed by every
citizen. Those who block the sue
cess of such a conference by re-
fusal to participate should. there
fore. be made to bear full respon-
sibility for the continuing situa-
ton"
Secretary of Labor Davis issued
a statement last night approving
the action OF President Lewis of
the United Mine Workers in trying
to secure a conference with bitum-
inous operators OF the central
competitive field in Cleveland TO
end the coal strike.
Mr.. Davis called upon both sides
to consider the serious economic
situation confronting the country.
and to make an earnest endeavor to
end the strike. He pointed out that
all the methods which have settled
coal strikes in the past have failed
in this one.
Il welcome any constructive et-
forts to settle the coal strike" said
Secretary Davis. Therefore the
call to the Cleveland conference is
a move in the right direction.
Approves Of Conference.
The present coal strike is tho
greatest in our history. Methods
that have settled other coal strikes
have so far failed in this one. so
that the return to the method Of
