SFFK TO FIX BLAME
FORDISASTER ANDTO
AVERT A WORSE ONE
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?

Chief Croker has said that
thousands of buildings in this
city may be the scene to-day or
at any time OF fire calamity Tar
worse than last Saturdays dis
aster. All these buildings have
been passed as complying with
the law as to fire escapes ana
construction. Most OF them are
hreproof. The Asch building
was freproof, as its present con-
dition shows.
Individual responsibility for
this disaster is not the most
pressing question. If any lndl-
vidual is guilty, by negligence or
greed. he should be punished.
But the community as whole is
responsible for Saturdays dlsas-
ter: it will be doubly responsible
if it is repeated, as Chief Croker
saws it may be repeated.
Chief Croker warned New
York after the Newark disaster.
His warning was ignored.
Chief Croker has warned New
York again. What is going to
