Disastrous Fire
In Orange Field

Fire which swept the Orange field
in Texas during the past two days
has destroyed five drilling rigs and
derricks with damage estimated at
s1OO 900. The fire started when the
Sinclair No. | Caller, blew in with
oil and gas and caught from a boiler
on the property Of the Atlantic Oil
Producing Company. High winds
spread the flames rapidly through
other portions of the field. None was
hurt during the conflagration. The
Sinclair well is still burning and
its flow is estimated at 1000 barrels.
In addition to the derricks which were
destroyed, four 2000-barrel tanks Of oil
were burned.

 with the rule adopted, the next step would be for Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, who will be in charge of the bill, to move to suspend the rules and pass the measure, thus opening the way to general debate on the bonus itself. After four hours, the final roll call would be ordered.
 After his conference with Campbell, Speaker Gillett said he was inclined to think that it would be just as we'll not to open the way for the Dem ocrats to offer a motion on the bill, which would heve to be permitted un- less the rules were suspended. He called attention that in their minority report, the Democrats had urged that the bunus, be paid by an excess pro- fits tax and increased surtaXes.
 Asked if motion, to re-enact those taxes would be genuine since the bill had no tax provision, Gillett said that he might rule that it was not, but that there then probably would be an appeal from his decision, which would bring the matter of those taxes to a vote of the house.
 After thir failure, to get the bill up Monday, under a suspension of the rules, those in charge of the legisla- tion appeared to be highly gratified that their plan finally had been ap- proved. They anticipated that little or no difficulty in executing theirpro- gram on the floor. and believed that by Thursday night the problem with which they have been wrestling for several months would be off their hands.

 Once the storm started by Senator Borah's utterances of yesterday had blown over, general discussion pro- ceeded throughout the day with only a small percentage of the senate mem bership present and with very little give and take argument mixed with the succession of long addresses.

 Tomorrow, when one hour limit on speeches goes into effect, under a unanimous consent agreement, pre- pared addresses are to be made Nby Senators LaFollette, Republican, Wis consin, and Walsh, Democrat, Massa- chusetts, and probably also by Sena- tors Shortridge, Republican,, Califor- nia, Smith, Democrat, South Carolina and Mccormick, Republican, Illinois.
 By the terms of the agreement, voting was in order today on pending amendments and reservations, but there was no attempt to press toward @. roll call It was said at least one of the proposals might be voted on tomorrow.

900 men.
 During the discuhsion of officer strength today, Republican members of the military affairs committee gen. erally came to the support of Kahn. Representative Fisher of Tennessee, a Democratic member of the commit tee, also made speech in support Of the Kahn amendment. Chalrman Madden of the appropriations com mittee, and Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican leader, how ever, rallied to the support of Repre- sentative Anthony, Republican, Kan sas, in charge of the bill.
 Madden said congress. in appropri- ating for the army, should make an effort to relieve the taxpayers at the same time providing for the security of the country Endorsing the bilPs provisions for a reduction in officers to 11,0OO, he said force of this size was adequate for all needs during the coming fiscal year.
 Mondell said the committees rec ommendation constituted a sensible middle ground between the stand of radical large and small army men.
 On the other hand, Kahn held it would be grave mistake to slash ar bitrarily the provision for officers. Such action, he said. would seriously handicap the war department. Fisher said General Pershing was appealing to the country for support against a hostile" congress, which was at- tempting to break the backbone of the army. Representative Green, Vermont. Republican on the militia " affairs committee, declared it would be a most stupid blunder, "the most egregious folly of follies, if we permit the art of war to languish among our people so that they will soon be living in a fools paradise

Arbitration Conference

NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-Failing to reach an agreement which would avert the general coal strike April 1, for which an order was issued from United Mine Workers headquaiters in Indianapolis today, the anthracite miners and operators wage arbitra- ton committee of eight tonight end ed it's first conference here.
 Members of the committee declin- ed to say whether the session pointed to an early adjustment of wage diff ferences.
 In formal statement, James A.. German. secretary of the committee, and g neutral. non-voting member, said:
 We did not get beyond general discussion of the 19 wage demands of the United Mine Workers, and the at titude Of the operators as they de- fined it when the miners presented their demands last week"
 Thus far, it was said, the operators have not offered any counter propos- als. Their arguments today were based upon their announced deter imitation that a decrease rather than an, increase in miners wages is the only compromise they will consider
 The conference, which it is freely predicted will continue for several weeks, will be resumed tomorrow.

 The issuance of the call came with the recent strike vote of soft coal min CTS not completely tabulated, but it was officially said that the work of the unions board of tellers had prog .ressed to such a point as to show ev- cry field voting overwhelmingly in favor of suspension. Indications were that nine-tenths of the miners favored the walkout.
 Policy Committee To Meet
 Cessation of the suspensiony in whole or part, is left to the unions policy committee, composed of more than 100 union officials, which will meet in Cleveland on Friday to con slider plans for conducting the strike. Outstanding among the questions to be considered by the committee is that of negotiating single state wage agreements. A division within the committee on this question seems cer tain, with indications that a mapority will oppose the single state proposi- tion.
 The suspension order, which said blame for the, walkout in the soft coal fields rested with the operators for refusing to negotiate new con tract with the union. and with the failure to reaGn new agreement with the hard coal operators. was mailed by office employees at the un- ions headquarters here in absence Of officials.
