.SCAFFOLD PROBED
IN FATAL PLUNGE
Reported Declared Unsafe
Before 10 Fell 200 Feet
From Plunge.
By the Associated Press.

Os the ASeONldtcu FIesSs
SAN FRANCISCO. February ia
The question whether Scaffoldins on
the world longest suspension span.
the Golden Gate Bridge. had been
declared unsafe stood high todsv
among those for which Investigators
sought an answer in explaining the
2o0-foot death plunge of 10 workers.
Frank Mcdonald. State industrial
accident commissioner, said Inspector
A. F. Mailloux twice made such a
protest to several construction oficlals.
Mcdonald pointed out that the com
mission and bridge authorities were
approaching the s35.000, 900 structure
for another inspection of the 1900
foot span when the scaffolding COL
lapsed yesterday.
Denies Objection Was Made.
Philip Hart. president of the Pacific
Bridge Co. which expects TO complete
the span by May, said last night:
The details of the construction and
the completed scaffold were at all
times visible and accessible 10 the
inspectors of the bridge district and
the State Industrial Accident Com
mission and no objection was ever
made to our use of the scaf1old"
Phillips said the scaffold "conformed
to all safety requirements" and "at
all times we have been most careful
in our operations to safeguard our
workmen by all possible means"
Mcdonald asserted that re-enforce-
ment changes were made in response
TO Mailloux's protests, but that the
inspector still considered the scaffold
unsafe"
The workmen were stripping away
forms into which concrete was poured
for the bridges roadway. A lo-foot
movable scaffold was carried along
as the work progressed, suspended on
wheels under the giant span One
wheel slipped from girder on which
it ran. That tilted the scaffoldinz
into its fatal plunge.
Immediately below was spread an
$S2 900 woven-rope net to prevent
workmen from falling into treacher-
GUS tidal waters. The scafIolding
tore out a whole section Of it and
plunged into the water Several VIC
tins were tangled in tn net.
