that no concessions had been made to the
boiler-makers, and that the statement
that a demand had been acceded to for
eight hours on transport work was false,
as was also the one that all overtime
should be the same as it was before the
strike.
Messrs. Spiers and Heynemann stated
positively that they had not discharged
any non-union men and would not do So
On the contrary, they hired two non-union

After the Metal Trades Association had

FIVE MEN HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Collapse Of Batteries
Causes Several Ex-
plosions.
San Francisco Electric Com
pany Suffers Loss of
$4,000.

A series of explosions, accompanied by
lightning flashes in the battery-room of
the San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany on Stevenson street, opposite the
Spreckels Market, startled the entire
lower part of the city at 1915 o'clock last
night. To the few persons who were in
the vicinity at the time it seemed as if
the entire building was destined to be de-
stroyed. The structure was not greatly
damaged, but the damage to the storage
cells of the company will reach about
$50, 900.
The explosions were due to the collapse
of mezzanine floor upon which a bank
OF batteries, containing fifty-five cells,
constructed Gt heavy structural iron, had
been placed in readiness for the holiday
electric service of the company. 1t was
this bank of batteries which feeds the no.
volt system for incandescent lights used
in he residence districts. When the bank
collapsed the lights in numerous resi-
dences were eX1nguished and these pa
irons can now be supplied only from The
main batteries of the company
Inc work or constructing the bank be-
gan some three months ago and in that
time many men were employed and vast
amount of material used. These batteries
were made up of cells filled with many
gallons OF Sulphuric acid and heavy zinc
SLABS. The combined weight of the bat
terles upon the mezzanine floor was enor-
nous ana proved to be too much for the
structure. When the collapse came the
upper batteries were precipitated upon
lhe lower and explosion after explosion
followed. The accident necessarily caused
a snort circuit across the buss-b bars and
when the electric fluid came in contact
with the acid instant ignition ensued
EVERY contact of the circuit with the
chemica! produced a lightning flash of
wonderful brilliancy. accompanied by
pyrotechnic display of sparks. The sparks
came from the upper windows of the
building In clouds and it was this which
inspired the belief that the building would
be dashed into fragments to the immi-
nent danger of surrounding property.
Al the time of the accident five men
were at work about the batteries. These
were A: Adams, foreman, D. Heading,
w. L. Wemmer, j. T. Earll and E. Stat
ford. Adams states that his attention
was first attracted to the mezzanine
there came a crash and explosion He
shouted TO the men to run for their lives,
and following his example all escaped
into Stevenson street in safety. An
alarm of fire was Immediately turned in
and In five minutes two engines were on
the scene. The flremen had scarcely
opened one of the doors when another
explosion took place. There was a stam-
pede of spectators, but the firemen brave
ly stuck to their posts until all danger
Of further explosions was past Some of
but it was extinguished without diff
Guilty.
The scene presented within the build
ing after the electric circuit was cut off
was one of supreme desolation. The
cells were piled upon one another in great
confusion and many parts of the struc-
tural iron work were melted and twisted

Rescues Half-starved Horses.

Secretary Holbrook of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
seized some half-starved horses on the
water front yesterday which were owned
by George SwitZer and were in transit to
Petaluma to be killed and used for
chicken feed. The society officials state
that Switzer will be arrested when he can
be found.

into heaps of scrap iron by the lightning
discharges. Whatever the esca ping cleo
trio fluid had touched was DESTROYED be-
yond the hope of repai. The storaea
room contained 152 tanks filled with fluid
but OF these cnly those which occupied
the mezzanine floor and those immedi-
ately beneath were ruined. The damage
as stated will exceed $50 00O not taking
into account the less of business which
will be involved.

A million women today should be told what other millions have learned. That they need one element in their blood far more than men, and that lack of it is the reason they are apt to fade many years before they should. The needed element Is iron Iron builds up the red corpuscles of the blood and sustains vitality and strength.
 Women need constant supply of blood making material or their systems break down under the constant drain. The very moment there is lack of blood, or when the blood is impoverished, the signal ap- pallor.
 The remedy needed is Dr. Harters Iron Tonic. Nothing else meets this particular condition so we'll Use of it has made hundreds of thousands of women look many years younger and made them feel even younger than they looked.
