Destructive Blaze In
 Abbott Ave. Home
Series of Fires Over Weed-End Give Department
 Severest Test in MOnths-WOman Rescued

One of the busiest Sundays in months was the lot of firemen yes- terday as they answered alarm after alarm, with several of the calls being for blazes of serious nature. Heading the days list was fire at 241 Abbott avenue yester- day afternoon, in which the flames swept up through four stories, to the attic before they were discov- cred, in which Mrs Lethia John- son, partially overcome by smoke was found on the fourth floor by Lieutenant Michael J. Sullivan of teh Burton street company and rescued by him with the aid of Patrolman Edmund Cass.
 While several companies were busy at the Abbott avenue blaze, a garage in the rear of 76 Pearl street caught fire, furnishing addi- tional firemen with difficulty. There were nine companies in service at this time.
 Charcoal Blaze
 Earlier in the day, charcoal caught fire in a large iron tank at the Chase Co plant in Waterville, with several companies of firemen forced to remain at the scene for more than an hour and half. In addition, profusion of brush fires was noted and every fire company in the city saw service during the day except the Town Plot engine company.
 The Abbott avenue building, oc- cupied entirely by negroes, would undoubtedly have been almost com pletely destroyed had the fire brok- en out at night, for the fire had tremendous headway before it was discovered. Investigation by Fire Marshal Dan Lahey and his staff revealed that the fire had started in a rubbish heap in corner of the cellar, swept up through sidewalks and had spread to floorings before being discovered. The building is owned by John J. Herbst.
 Explosions
 Living in the building were hte following families: First floor, MT and Mrs Herbert Cambridge, Mag noli Dowdel and MT and Mrs Theo- dore Wyhkoff; second floor, MT and Mrs James Johnson and six chill dren, Mrs Charlotte Vickers, Miss Lillian and Miss Martha Davis;

STRIKE VIOLENCE AT SPRINGFIELD

Springfield, Mass, May 20-(UP) Pears of renewed warfare in the newspaper printers strike were felt today as 50 strikebreakers were imported from Newark and Jersey City, N. J., following the first bloodshed in the strike last night. violence broke out for the first time when four strike-breakers were injured as pickets tried to prevent them from entering a news paper plant and a striker was at tackled by three men.
 The Republican-Union brought in non-union printers to put out its regular Sunday edition, butsthe pa pers reportedly were to revert to- day to the photo-engraving type of edition, published since the strike started. Linotype machine belts were cut, keyboards damaged and ads, already in type were destroyed Sunay, but union officials denied any complcity in the apparent sabotage, saying they were att tempting orderly picketing. Mean while strikers, appealing to police, said they were forced to use vio- fence because of alleged attacks by strikebreakers.
