FIRE STARTS A PANIC.
Breaks Out in Packing House Where
Strike Breakers Arc Housed.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-A fire. which
in itself amounted to very little, caused
a panic tonight in the packing house
Of Nelson. Morris & Co., at the stock
yards.
The firm. since the commencement
of the strike, has housed about 200
men and women in it's Oleomargarine
building and tonight there were
ninety women and fifty men in the
place when fire started in the clothes
closet on the fourth floor. The cries
of those on the fourth floor as they ran
for the stairways brought out the oc-
cupants of the other floors and for a
few minutes there was fierce fighting
In the Railways leading TO the stairs.
Finally ii was seen by the occupants
of the upper floor that the FIRE would
amount TO nothing and they turned
back and allowed those already on the
stairs to reach the street.
