The membership of the local No. 1876
are fully inlbibed with the philosophy
of the above quotation. Proba bly,
mankind owes more to men who were
proud of being Industrious workers
in the printers vocation, then to men
Of any other craft or handiwork.
Every Industrious man, in every
lawful calling is useful man and a
blessing to his kind; but the work of
the men Of this craft enables us all
to exchange the wearisome hours of
life, which come to every one, for
hours Of delight. in reading the best
the ages have produced. How few of
us realize the great debt that society
owes to the printers art! And fewer
still are those, whose sense Of graft

A $500, 900 Loss in Standard OIL
Co.'S. Plant in Brooklyn.

New York, Dec. 30.-More than
score of persons were injured, five OF
them possibly fatally, in a fire which
swept a big double tenement on Bel
mont avenue, East New York, today.
Six Of the injured were firemen, who
were overcome by smoke or were hurt
in making daring rescues of imperilled
people in the blazing structure.
Some of the jewellers escaped to the
adjoining buildings, but when the fire.
men reached the scene the fire escapes
and the upper windows were crowded
with panic-stricken people threatening
to jump. All were rescued by ladders
except one woman, who jumped from
second-story window and was badly in
jured.
In one room family of five foreign
ers was found unconscious. Firemen
penetrated the burning room and car
ried them to the fire escape and down
the ladders. All five of the rescued per-
sons are in hospital in a serious con-
dition. Three of the firemen fell I'M
conscious when they reached the street
with their burdens. Three other firemen
were overcome after rescuing imperil-
led tenants from the roof and upper
stories.
