well enough absorbed by trade interest

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO7

If there were seven thousand
fire traps left in the city after
last Saturdays disaster there are
seven thousand to-day. No one
had reason to suppose at 4:5O
o'clock last Saturday afternoon
that within an hour nearly l3O
lives would be sacrificed. No
one expects such a disaster to-
day. Yet there is more reason
to fear it to-day than there was
then.
The fire in ;he Asch Building
is over. Ii any person was
guilty ol negligence. if any Of
fetal was dereliCt, ii owner or
tenant violated the law as to fire
escapes or the locking of doors,
the law provides for punishment.
But punishment does not save
lives. 1t cannot empty the
graves that have been filled. II
cannot prevent d new catas-
trophc. The prevention of an
other fire horror is the work this
community must undertake.
Chief Croker warned New
York after the Newark disaster.
His warning was ignored. He
has warned II again. Will this
warning also lbe ignored?
