COAL BUSINESS IS IMPROVED.
Possibility of Suspension April ]
Results I'm Orders.

THE coal industry continues to be
confronted with what may be sum-
married as weather market" says the
Black Diamond. Enthusiastically, there Is a
slight improvement in some sections. in
dicating that industrial plants are stock
ing coal in somewhat better volume
against the anticipated suspension Of
mining April 1. The improvement how
ever, Is not general enough to affect pro-
duction greatly and has no effect upon
prices, which continue at the same low
levels.
The fact is. the output of bituminous
to-day is controlled by production costs
so that non-union mines, which have put
into effect material wage reductions. are
getting the greatest part OF the market
Although new business has not increa sed
greatly, industries holding contracts for
coal have increased their requirements
and this is largely responsible for any
Improvement in output.
I'm the Eastern markets the call for
anthracite from the domestic trade has
shown marked Improvement, due to
cold weather. this being particularly no.
ticeable in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia. Steam sizes have also had a
somewhat better market because of the
possibility of suspension April l."

Two of the intruders had left one of
the refreshment tables near the dacing
floor and had seized two girls with a
request for a dance. Their partners
pushed the men aside and blows fol-
lowed. Then the trouble makers drew
revolvers and began firing.
At the first shot the orchestra halted
a fox trot and sought refuge. Some of
the dancers closed in and tried to knock
the weapons aside. In the struggle the
weapons were fired rapidly. lights
crashed and plaster broke from the
walls as the shots struck.
Then Miss Reilly dropped with cry.

armed men with their friends withdrew
toward the doors, holding the weapons

then dancers seized glassware from the
tables and hurled it and pursued the
intruders TO the street But the party
escaped.
Those left in the hall. recovering from
their fright. seized their wraps and
started for home. Some employees of
the hall called for help for Miss Reilly
and O'Brien. who were taken later to

was deserted except for the two In
Jured and some employees.
The police found two empty revolvers
in the hallway and about the dance hall
