explosion among quantity OF fire
works in the store of Abraham M.
Rittenberg, at Paterson, N. }. the
store was on the ground floor OF a
tenement building. The cause OF
the explosion is not known, and the
property loss will not exceed $3o. OOo.
The building in which the fire oc-
CURED was frame tenement tour
stories high, with stores on the
ground floor. The middle store was
occupied by Rittenberg. Ten faml-
lies occupied flats in the building. so
great was the force of the explosion
that boy playing in the street hall
a block away was lifted from his feet
and hurled against an iron fence, one
of his legs being broken. A trolley
car was directly in front of the build
ing when the explosion occurred.
The burst of flame out into the street
scorched the sides of the car and
singed the hair of the passengers.
A number OF those who were on the
upper floors of the building when
the explosion took place were either
stunned and then burned to death, or
found escape cut off and were suffo.
Gated. After the first explosion there
was succession of smaller ones, and
then came a second big explosion,
which was muffled and deadened, and
probably occurred in the cellar.
Every window seemed to be emit
ting flames within u minute after the
first explosion. A woman with her
clothing on fire leaped out of one OF
the windows and fell to the yard be.
low. Her dead body was dragged out
of reach OF the flames, but the flesh
was roasted and dropped from the
bones. Some of the occupants of the
rooms dropped from the windows and
were bruised. Others hung from the
windows until the tiremen came, and
20 persons were taken down in this
way through the fire and smoke by
the fremen, while others dropped
into life nets.
While the rescues were going on the
firemen were fighting the flames.
Captain Allen led with IL hose line in
an effort to keep the fire from the
upper floors, where it was said many
were penned in. The men had hardly
taken their positions and began on
the sidewalk to throw water into the
upper floors when, without any warm
ing, the whole upper part of the
building above them sagged outward
and fell. The captain and two of his
men were buried under the blazing
debris. One of the men is badly
hurt. The building in which the
explosion occurred was DESTROYED.

THE UNION OF THE

A Protest Wired by the Flintss Con-
vention to the Green
ton.

Special to the Register.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., July 10
This was a recordIbreaking day at the
American Flint Glass Workers con-
vention. The cutters committee was
the first 10 report. They have made
but few important changes. They ask
that the minimum weekly wage rate be
advanced to the IT. which prevailed
three years ago.
They also want three members on
the executive board this year. instead
Of two. The castor plate branch. COM
posed principally OF ofY-hand workmeni
asks for an advance for making cut
ting blanks. and they have rejected
the manufacturers proposition to work
the unlimited system on a piece work
basis.
The greatest interest vas manifested
in the prescription committee report.
This department is composed of bottle
blowers exclusively. The committee
had been In session almost continu-
ously since last Tuesday, but 1t could
not agree on the question of with
drawal from the flint organization. Both
majority and minority reports were
submitted to the convention. and on
motion the latter, which favors remain
ing in the fints, was adopted by an
overwhelming vote. There is an al
most equal division among the pre-
scription delegates. Thirty-two signed
the majority report and twenty-five
names appeared on the minority reso-

fused to grant permission to withdraw
and wired a protest to the green bottle
blowers officials, who are now hold
ing their convention at Milwaukee.
against admitting any members of the
American Flint Glass Workers Union
in the Green Bottle Blowers Associa-
ton without the consent Of the flints.
Rumors Of all kinds are flying thick
and fast. 1t is said those who favor
the withdrawal have sent a committee
to Milwaukee to see about joining the
Green Bottle Blowers Association.
A new organization. composed Of
those local unions whose delegates
signed the majority report, is also
talked of.
The matter will assume more definite
shape tomorrow, when an answer 20

not only to the prescription depart
ment, but also to all glass workers in
