Ten minutes after that Barry

Houston felt a sort of relief in the
knowledge that he had departed.
He returned to Tabernacle and at

United Mine Workers and others in
terested in the situation that to-mor-
row will see definite action taken to
bring to a speedy end the anthracite

Efforts made to sound out the EN-
ployers as to whether there was any
response to their statement OF last
night that only a public mandate"
could impel them to grant the hard
coal diggers the old wage scale be-
yond April 1 next year, were without
avail.
The operators scattered after yester-
days conference to meet again here to-

from Washington whether a public

being considered by the operators, re-

early settlement and was hopeful that

There is a strong possibility OF a Joint
conference OF operators and miners to-

no meetings to-day. explaining they

The operators. IL was said among
union leaders, are trying to determine
whether they shall agree 70 let the

April l. 1924. The miners have demanded
the latter date. but II is believed they

SMOKE OVERCOMES
TWENTY F|REMEN
Rescuers Find Victims Lying
on Eighth Floor Of 39th st.
Loft Building.
THREE SENT TO HOSPITAL
Chief Roach, Capt. Humphrey
and Capt. O'Connor Are
Most Badly Injured.

Smoke and lack of oxygen in a
small room on the eighth floor of a
ten story loft building at 234-242 West
Thirty-ninth street caused more than
twenty firemen to be overcome last
night while fighting fire.
Three of them, Battalion Chief
James M. Roach, Capt. Edward Hum
phrey of Hook and Ladder Company
No. 4, and Capt Thomas O'Connor Of
Hook and Ladder Company No. 21,
were so badly hurt that they were sent
to st. vincent's Hospital for treat
ment. Surgeons said, however. that
they would be able to go to their homes
within few hours.
With the exception of five men. the
others were able to return to duty after
they had been treated by ambulance
and Fire Department surgeons. The
five were Firemen David Hurley.
Charles Lusi. Frank Parks and Jacob
Fischman of Hook and Ladder Company
81 and Frederick Kutzl of Hook and
Ladder No. 4. They were sent back to
their quarters after treatment The
physicians who attended the men said
that all or them would be able to go on
duty again this morning.
The fire was discovered by Patrolman
Hauk OF the West Thirtieth street sta
ton, wins saw water trlckilng from be-
meath the door Of the entrance at 234
when he passed. He summoned the
watchman, and they found that the au-
tomato sprinkler had been started to
flow by u fire that had started in the
loft occupied by the Quality Embroidery
Company. Twenty men of Hook and
Ladder Company II went upstairs while
the men of the engine companies were
hooking up their lines. They found the
loft divided into small rooms by parti-
tions. The fire was in one OF these
small rooms. The flames had burned
out the oxygen and the room was filled
with heavy smoke.
As soon as the firemen, led by Chief
Roach and Captains Humphrey and
OConnor, entered the room they we're
overcome. A few minutes later Acting
Capt. Edward Short, leading a group of
men Of Engine Company 2s up the
stairs, found the twenty men stretched
on the floor Of the room. He sent Lieut.
McAvoy for help. and other firemen
came and carried the unconscious men
to the seventh floor. There they were
treated by surgeons from Bellevue and
New York hospitals and by Fire De-
partment doctors.
The fire was confined to the small
room in which II started, and did only
slight damage.
Acting Chief Martin, who was unable
to determine the cause of the fire. esti-
mated the damage at $4,000 to $4,000.
According to the police employees of
the clothing firm have been on strike
for more than a week during which
time a detail OF police has been on duty
at the building.

West Virginia Operators Can
eel Orders for 3,100 Tons
of Allotment. II.
TEST FOR ADMINISTRATOR

Some 3,l00 of the 10000 tons OF soft
coal the State fuel authority had an
nounced It would dispose Of at cost
within ten days was lost yesterday to
New York State.
West Virginia operators continued
10 balk at furnishing the allotment at
the stipulated Hoover fair price" and
cancelled orders to that amount when
Transit Commissioner Harkness. act
ing State head. refused to pay more.
The clash uncovered probably the first
test awaiting the new State coal ad-
ministrator, whom Gov. Miller at the
Hotel Gotham said he had selected
but would not name until after Labor
Day. 1t was interpreted as a chal-
lenge of the new fuel law and Of the
ability OF the State TO regulate retail
prices without base prices having been
fixed at the mines.
Commissioner Harkness Immediately
notified Washington to instruct all op-
orators with whom orders for the New
York allotment OF August 16 had been
placed that any attempt to boost prices
above those existing on that date would
amount TO automatic annulment. He

Booking and Producing
Concern Would Also Fight
Erlanger Interests.
MEANS THEATRICAL WAR
Action, as Yet Indefinite, Said
to Depend Upon Indepen-
dent Producers.

Negotiations have been started, !,
was learned yesterday, for the forma-
ton of third theatrical syndicate in
the legitimate field, backed by the
money and experience of the 3. F.
Keith vaudeville circuit. If this
syndicate comes into being-and IL
has not reached a definite stage yet
1t would compete in their chosen field
with the organizations headed by A.
l.. Erlanger and Lee Shubert. The lat
ter have amalgamated their interests
outside Manhattan through a pooling
arrangement, virtually making one
combination in the field so far as
booking goes.
For several days the rumor that
the Keith organization would enter the
legitimate field, both with regard to
booking and producing shows, has
been regarded as a move in retaliation
for the entry OF the Shuberts into the
vaudeville field
In the absence OF r. r. Albee. head
OF the circuit. who was in Cleveland.
no one at Keith headquarters yester-
day cared to commit himself about the
report. But from one of the important
| figures in the circuit assurance was
| givti that negotiations for such new
group had been under way.
Overtures From Outside.
| The informant indicated that the
| proposed new theatrical coalition was
still in the embryonic stage. lie made
known that the overtures for the new
organization had come from the out
side. These are understood to have
come from independent producers,
among whom there has been discus
sion lately of the terms for presenting
a show In a Shubert or Erlanger house.
These terms. which were stipulated
| in the uniform contracts issued by both
the Shubert and Erlanger booking Of
| fees. give an allowance of 500 for ex-
ira advertising. but grant no additional
sums. Producers are expected to fur
nish maximum of fifteen men in the
stage crew of a dramatic production.
Hitherto the expense of additional
stage hands was borne by both the
! house and. the attraction.
ShuDert "weIcomes, idea.
Concerning any possible restiveness.
the Shubert- -Erlanger offices pointed
out recently that the producers recog-
niAed the new conditions as equitable,
because 80 per cent. of the contracts
made out for the new season were
signed Moreover. 1t was empha asized
that producers like David Belasco,
F1orenz Ziegfeld. Jr., Charles Dilling-
ham, Sam II. Harris the Selwyns, A.
ii. Woods, and Arthur Hopkins are
strongly bound to either Erlanger or
the Shuberts for several years. In the
Keith offices. however. the attitude
seemed to be that independent pro-
ducers might find 1t more agreeable
to abandon these obligations IL they re-
ceived gratifying terms from a new
syndicate.
Lee Shubert received word Of the
prospect with characteristic cal.i.
I'VE welcome Mr.. Albee into the le-
gitimate field" he said. II hadn't heard
OF this new move until to-day, but !
feel that there Is always room for one
more producing organization. With
fifty years of experience in the show
business Mr.. Albce may be able 4
offer something new, and we are al
ways glad to receive that
