men, employees Of the concern, were
injured by falling walls, mono seri-
cusly, however.
A dust explosion occurred shortly
before midnight and flames spread
quickly to all parts of the building.
The structure was still blazing fierce
ly early this morning, and thousands
Of persons were kept busy preventing
flying embers from setting fire to the
buildings in the vicinity Of the plant.
