Explosion Heard Before Fire

Accounts vary as to the exact cause,
but nearly every one who was ques-
toned after the fire had been brought
under control, declared the first alarm
followed a violent explosion.
The four men burned to death we're
employed on the fourth floor of the
factory. They remained behind to fight
the fire when it reached their floor, it
is said, and lost their lives in conse-
quence. When the blaze was finally
brought under control the bodies were
found huddled in a corner of the loft.
The explosion and fire occurred
shortly after the full force Of employees
had returned from luncheon. The fact
that the fire spread so rapidly that the
four men on the upper floor lost their
lives and that others narrowly escaped
bore out the theory Of inspectors that
it was the result of bomb. James

Under ordinary circumstances the
factory building would have been unoc-
cupied this afternoon. A government
contract to supply several thousand
yards Of raincoat cloth, however, has
made it necessary to hold every one TO
work all day Saturday. 1t was estimated
there were about a thousand men and
women in the plant when the explosion
occurred.
