manufacturing company of Greenfield
& Strauss, at 81 Barclay street, which

Over one hundred and fifty girls were
employed at the time in the building.
The walls fell in ten minutes after the
explosion.
The policeman on duty near the
building says he saw the front build
ing, five stories high, fail into the
street. The street is filled with scream
ing people. There were about two

and walked over the roofs and got
down the stairs of other buildings.
The book-keeper, who was on the
barclay street side of the building,
