THE CHICAGO HOLOCAUST.

The death of 5S8 men, women and
little children in the IrOquois thea
ire, Chicago, last week, is easily the
most hOrrifying calamity since the
eruption of Mt. Pelee.
Men and women were trampled UNI
der foot, little children were tram
pied to death or sutfocated, while
many of those responsible for the be-
ginning of the panic gave up their
lives as the penalty for their own
unreasoning and fear-stricken ac-
tiOns.
Wherever there is such terrible
loss of life the great majority of fa-
talities can be traced to one cause,
the lack of exists. Theatres are
built in the more pOpulous parts of
cities, and in trying to utilize every
possible inch of space, economy is
practiced in constructing the pas
sage ways.
Every one who has attended the
theatre in large cities will easily re-
call how, when they have had a seat
well down towards the stage, they
have had to work their way slowly,
tediously, step by step, to the open
air. And this under no adverse cir
cumstances. A thousand times
more difficult is the problem when Il
screaming, frantic, struggling mass
is pulling, clamOring, crying, doing
everything to retard and nothing to
aid the general exodus.
The holocaust at the Iroquois the
atre should serve as Il lesson. Bull
ders should no longer be allowed To
economic space at the expense of
human life.
The public should also understand
that the absolutely fire-prOOf' the
atre is a farce, always was and al
ways will be. There is no such |
thing. 1t does not matter if floors |
and walls and ceilings are nOn-cOm-
bustible. In the very nature of their
furnishings, theatre buildings are
filled with stuff that will burn at the
touch of n match.
