EIGHTEEN PERISH
IN MISSION FIRE
Salvation Army Home Burns
-lOdgerS Trapped by the
Flames, Leap to Death.

PATTERSON. y. J.. Nov g.
Eighteen bodies had been taken
Sunday night from the ruins OF the
salvation Army rescue mission in
this city which was destroyed by
ERE early Sunday. Ten men were
taken 10 hospitals with probably
mortal injuries and many others
were less seriously hurt in leaping
from windows Of the burning struc-
ture.
Identification Of all the dead will
be impossible. the police believe. as
the records Of the institution were
lost in the fire. There were So men
avleep in the mission when the
flames started in an old frame build
ing adjoining the main structure,
used for storing magazines and
newspapers.
Fire Fighters Delayed.
Arrival Of fire apparatus was de-
layed through confusion in turning
in a proper alarm and the entire
building was ablaze when the fire
men reached IL.
Rapid spread Of the flames made
use OF the only fire escape on the
building impossible and the dodgers,
many Of whom were old and Grip
pied. were driven TO windows from
which they leaped before firemen
could catch them in the nets.
Leap into Nets.
Those who slept on the third
and fourth floors had no possible
chance Of escape other than by
leeping into fire nets. With the fire
escape and the interior stairway cut
off by a steadily increasing volume
OF flame, the men fOcked 10 the
windows beseeching the crowds in
the street below for help. One old
crippled man tried to jump TO a net
and in falling struck the fire escape
and was fatally hurt.
Most OF the victims were friend

ANYTHING GOES, BUDDY!
Strike Breaker on Job, But Don't
Know Where He's Going.

"Sure we're selling eight tickets
for a quarter. How masy?"
This was the response OF one OF
the strike breaking conductors last
night when he insisted on giving
passengers tickets from broken
strips in exchange for 25-cent pieces
and the passengers hesitated about
taking broken lots.
what do you suppose we're doin'
this job fer-love: This is where we
get ours. We're takin' a chance on
our life, limbs, and property, and
We amt workin' on any dollar-a-day
proposition" the strike breaker said.
"Some OF the boys have got it fig
ured out on a pari-mutuel system
which gives the company 50 out of
every $40 taken in. As for me, I'm
sellfn' the company's strips on de-
mand only. Meanwhile I'm takin' ev-
cry nickel I can get, and I'll make
change out OF a $50 bill to take a
cash fare quicker than a 81 bill to
sell tickets"
passenger interrupted the con-
versant conductor to complain OF his
failing to punch the direction on a
transfer.
"oh, that's all right" was the re-
sponse. I'VE amt got no punches.
but that transfers good any time
anywhere. I don't even know where
It is good; cause I don't know where
I'm goin'. Neither do the other fell
lows; but we're on the job"

many Of those who had been walk
ing to ride.
The usual number OF pickets were
on duty At the Thirty-sixth street and
Prospect avenue terminal, and the
rain did not dampen the ardor of the
crowd OF small boys who have been
around the terminal since the strike

Carry Out Schedules.

lutions were adopted urging that the

Company be compelled to carry out
its schedules filed with the Public
Utilities Commission or be subjected
to the proper penalties.
The public, it was declared by
Washington Topham, is the greater
sufferer and is shown the least con-
sideration. Steps should be taken by
the commission, Mr.. Topham said, to
insure as far as possible the com
fort OF the public In future contins-
encies.
The secretary was directed to
write to the District Commissioners
requesting the installation of addi.
tional alley lights In the territory
covered by the association.
Complaint was made by several
members of the condition OF North

land and Michigan avenues. The
roadway, It was stated, is badly in
need OF Improvement. The matter
will receive further attention at the
hands of the association at its next
meeting.

None Working in Power Houses
Which Serve w. R. & E.
Lines, Says Official.
NO ONE HAS CEASED WORK
Opinion At Union Headquarters
Varies As to Number of
Men Employed.

There are no men who are mem
bers OF the union employed in any of
the power houses of the Potomac
Electric and Power Company, and the
power houses of this company fur
nish the current used by the cars of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company"
This was the statement OF L. z. Sin
clair, general superintendent Of the
Potomac Electric and Power Company,
today.
tire number of men employed by the
Potomac Electric and Power Com
pany here were five union men.
These, he said, were assistants in the
shops or linemen. He said no men had
ceased work In the power houses on
account OF the strike, and that. so far
as is known, none will throw up their
jobs.
Opinion As to Number Varies
Opinion varies at the union head
quarters as to how many men are en-
ployed in the power houses of the Po-
tomac Electric and Power Company,
who are members of the union which
now is striking.
w. ]. O'Brien, who is directing the
strike breaking forces, said today he
had not even considered the power
houses as a possible source of trouble.
I'VE know nothing and have heard
nothing about the union men who are
employed in the power house." he
said. "and we do not even know
whether there are enough to cause
trouble of any kind. I don't think
there are, however"
Officials of the union reiterated the
statement made yesterday, admitting
they had not enough allies in the
employ of Potomac Electric and
Power Company's power houses to ex-
pect a sympathy strike on their part.
Main supply From Benning.
The main source of supply of the
current-used by the cars OF the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
is the power house located at Ben
ming, d. c. The current is sent from
here to the different substations, or
Transforming plants, over the city,
the immediate nelghborhood OF the
substations.
Should The men employed in the
main station at Benning strike with
out warning, IT was said this action
would seriously tie up the street cars
and that 1t might keep the city in
darkness for some time. It was said
further, however, that the power
houses could be renamed within a
short time with strike breakers. =.

and the one on the rear Berwyn.
When It struck the switch at Rhode
Island avenue the front trucks went
west and the rear trucks east, turning
the car nearly at right angles.
No Evidence Of TamperinE.
No evidence that the switch was
tampered with was found. Union men
denied that one of their number had
''nxsd", the switch, declaring the ac-
cideht wal due to unfamiliarity with
the switch.
Hundreds OF suburbanites waited In
vain for the Maryland cars. and hun
"Alhcu u INC SdplbAl

The FIRST car left the lexington

Just at this time the accident oc-
CURED at the northeast switch. Cars
left the barn for the Treasury every
few minutes, going by way OF New
York avenue and North Capitol street.
There was no regular schedule.
Lapses OF from one minute to twenty
were noticed between cars. The su-
perintendent OF the lexington barn
would make no predictions about what
schedule would be maintained during
the day.
Union pickets said that OF q total
of fifty-seven cars usually operated.
there were twenty-five on the lines
covering Maryland suburbs and
Brookland today. It is expected by car
barn employees that the number will be
Increased until the normal number
is In operation.

Article for rs Cents.

Before the strike, conductors OF

which he said he had just bought
from q strike breaker for 25 cents.

he wanted was cash, and that trans

also offered to sell any other part of
