Some of them, and not all factories,
are located within a stones throw OF
the -Four Corners. Hundreds of men,
women and children employees and
others visit these buildings every week
day n some of them are absolutely
without fire-escapes of any kind.
This information is being gathered
not only by the building factory In
spectors and fire departments, but by
police and health department officials
and Ie~tter-carriers, as well as NAM
citizens, who have constituted them
selves a special corps of investigators
to see to 1t that there is no recurrence
of the High street horror.
The Evening STAR already has a
list of buildings, some of them of a
more ramshackle type than the High
street building, and unless a disposition
to properly protect the same is made
by the owners or occupants the au-
thorities will be called upon to act.
