Day set aside for rejoicing over the
y nth Of Christ, this city mourned its
dsad-seventy-two victims Of . false
alarm Of fire. Most of the dead are
children who had gone to the Christ
aas eve celebration in Italian hall, ar.
Sa.ged for the families of striking
copper miners of this section.
As result of the tragedy, caused,
II Is believed by . drunken man who
thrust his head into the hall entrance
and shouted "6re" all bitterness be-
tween the different factions in CALI
met is wiped out. There is no i'll feel
ing. There is nothing but dumb grief,
which is beyond the possibility of
tears.
A mass meeting was held this af-
ternoon, At which q committee of 10
was appointed to visit each individu-
al home Of the beresved families and
ascertain what financial assistance is
necessary. Unlimited funds are assur-

The authorities 80 far have been un-
