A crash of crockery and glassware, fol-
lowed by humping and humping as OF
someone rolling down stairs threw ten
ants OF the Worthen block into a small
sized panic yesterday when G. Fl. North
rop and his men were engaged in moving
of the Central Labor union
from the Nichols building into a hall on
the third floor of the structure. The
noise was caused by mishap which hap
pened to Charles Fordham, helper, but
people in the building were specializing
on other causes until an investigation
disclosed the real reason. With box OF
dishes under one arm and lantern and
glass kerosene can slung over the other
arm, Mr.. Fordham was cropping his way
along the dark corridor of the third floor
when he lost his balance and fell. He
was preceded down fight of stairs by
the cargo of fragile articles and before
the momentum established by his fall
could be overcome the helper himself had
reached the lower stair. Beyond a few
superficial flesh cuts he escaped injury.
