road. wss called east last night TO discuss
the disagreement with officials Of the road
Some time ago the railroad officials de-
cided 10 do away with extra iiremen on the
middle division. On account Of the large
amount Of freight handled on that division
two firemen were formerly employed on the
large freight engines When the extra
firemen were discharged, representatives
Of the union called on the railroad officials
and asked that they be reustated This
the officials refused and explained the rea-
son TO the men.
Since the extra frcrncn have been dis
charged the work of the front brakemen
has been increased, ar they are sometimes
required 70 assist the fremen. The OK
PLANTATION OF the officials for refusing to
reinstate the extra firen-n it ia said. was
satisfactory 70 the representatives OF the
employees, but few days later they called
again and asked that the pay Of the front
brakemen be increased because Of the extra
work being done by them. The officials
refused this request also, and the union.
according to the reports took mp the matter
and asked the men employed on the freight
trains 70 assist them in the fight.

A second and third alarm followed fast
when he first few FIRE companies got there.
Chief Croker came. The first and second
floors we're occupied by Koster's wholesale
liquor store and the top three by the Nichols
Flexible Gas Tubing Company. The fire
started in the whiskey rooms, the firemen
think, perhaps from an explosion of spirits
Whiskey barrels exploded at intervals
during the fire.
At 457 West Fifty-third street. just around
the corner, there is four story tenement
house orammed full Of people. When the
wind began to blow the flames in its drec-
ton Chief Croker set some OF his men and
the police 10 rush the tenants into the
street They went out precipitately, most
of them half dressed all badly scared.
Back Of the place are the sheds of Il coal
yard. The fremen. climbing to the third
floor of the burning building, were driven
from their places by fresh explosions and
sudden bursts Of flames from the windows.
They had to jump and jump quickly. They
landed on the roofs of the coal sheds. none
hurt, but all pretty badly shaken. Cookers
men fought the fire from three sides. and at
/ o'clock had IL under control
A crowd gathered that blocked the streets
for blocks. One Of those who witnessed the
spectacle was Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
who drove up with two men in an automo-
bile He and his friends left the auto and
stood back of the fire line mufled in fur
coats watching the fremen's hard fight.
The loss was heavy.
