F|REMEN BUSY
TWO HOURS At
LEDERER BUILDING

The Lederer building at 80 Mathewsou
street was the scene OF a stubborn firc
last evening, the fremen not quenching
the flames until after two hours OF hard
work.
The work of locating the seat of the
flames was very difficult. as but few were
10 be seen. and the search had to be
gropingly made through dense. sufrocat-
ing smoke.
The fact that fire was raging in the
building was first discovered by the sight
OF a dense smoke pouring out OF the
transom over the main entrance to the
store OF Lazarus e. Griess. on the ground
floor, at S:3l O'Clock by Patrolman crosby.
whereupon the firemen were al once sum-
moned from box g. at Mathewson and
Westminster streets.
on their arrival the firemen had to cut
their way through the heavy doors that
had entered the fur store OF Lazarus &
Griess they had TO break out large
plate glass window in order TO get air
TO breathe. The heat was so intense that
IL cracked another large window.
Finally the seat OF the fire was located
on the ground floor. but the flames had
spread TO workshop on the second hoor.
and then more hard work was entailed 10
check the furthsr spread OF the flames.
Edward II. Armstrong and Charles j.

In a front office on the fourth floor, had
much difficulty I'm making their pc.
They were at work In the office when
they heard the noise OF an explosion.
They had smeled smoke since soon after
8 o'clock. but paid no attention 10 H.
When they heard the firemen breaking
down the doors on the first floor, they
threw the office door open 10 make their
way out and found that the halls were
thick with smoke. BY the time they
reached the street they were almost over
some by the smoke.
The art store OF Walter Fl Wood was
threatened for a few minutes. but the
firemen kept the flames away from IL. the
only damage being caused by smoke and
a little water. which got into the work
room at the rear.
Gardner q Co. tailors. on the second
floor moved from their rooms yesterday.
Almost all OF their stock had been re-
moved with the exception OF about 40
suits, which were smoked more or less
The Chic Sample Shoe company, which
was moving into the rooms vacated by
Gardner & Co. suffered from smoke.
Messrs. Lazarus and Griess are IN New
York, but Mrs. Griess. who went TO the
store said that though she did not know
the value OF the stock, she thought the
loss would be about 5000, covered by In
surance The damage 70 the building
will be between $500 and $1,000, which IS

structed Mr.. Gompers to make such
investigation throughout the country,
with a view to the promotion OF uni
formity OF legislation for the protec-
tion OF building employees
The Investigation will also take In
the protection afforded employees In
factories and workshops as to the
regulation OF doors and windows. so as
to open outward. A bill to this effect
passed the house assembly, but was
held up in the senate.
Mr.. Brickell being building en-
ploye and also secretary OF the Paw

this investigation, and it is hoped that
the result will eventually lead TO a
better protection OF life in the erect
ing OF buildings and the factories and
workshops OF the state.

Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation. has written to
Joseph Brickell OF Pawtucket, general
organizer OF the A. +. OF l., request
ing that Mr.. Brickell inform him what,
II any. protection is given employees for
loss of life in the construction and
erection OF buildings in this state. Mr..
Gompers desires TO know what statute
protection Rhode Island has,
Mr.. Gompers also wants specific in
formation as to the operation OF casual
ty companies in this state in their
treatment OF employees who meet with
accident or loss OF life.
II is understood that this special in
vestigation by Mr.. Brickell reveals the
fact that there is no protection against
loss OF life of employees engaged in
building construction. For example, n
builder may erect any number of
stories, and as the building progresses
the contractor is not obliged TO put
either temporary or permanent floor
