TRIED TO WRECK BUILDING
Rope Used to Raise Big Iron Beams
Cut With . Knife.

WI WIN
Allentown. Pa. Dec $.-The iron
work of the new building being erect
ed for the Allentown National Bank
came near being wrecked. Some one
cut the rope used in lifting iron beams
and trusses to the top OF the building.
One OF these beams, weighing a ton.
was about to be hauled to the top,
when it was seen that something was
wrong.
A man was sent to the top Of the
building. and there he found that the
rope had been nearly severed by a
knife.
But for the timely discovery the
massive rafter would have fallen when
in midair and wrecked the structure
and probably caused loss OF life. The
framework is being erected by con-
Germ which employs non-unior men.
The members Of the firm declare that
the rope was cut by some strike agi-
