Pittsburgh. Pa., Sept. 4.—Investig*-
tions are under way today to deter
mine the cause of a tire which swept
through a bunk house ot the Penn
sylvania railway, claiming seven liv
es. and injuring tea other recently
employed repairmen. The property
loss is 1200,000.
The initial results of the investiga
tion seemed to corroborate the
menta of survivors that the tire start*
ed in a mass ot greasy waste inside
the building and couldn’t have been
caused by sparks from engines pass
ing in the tracks nearby.
George Flggus. was arrested near
the scene of the fire early today and
held because he "failed to give a good
account of hlmseir.’’ He waa booked
on open charges.
U S. WAITS TO GIVE OUT
ITS POSITION ON RECENT
INJUNCTION PROCEDURE
Pittsburg, Sept. 4.—Seven car repair
men recently employed here were
burned to death, ten men were injur
ed, several severely, and property loss
of $220,000 was wrought by fire which
started at dawn yesterday in a bunk
house in the Thirtieth street yards of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and swept
through the building with almost in
credible speed.
Nearly all the bodies were charred
beyond recognition. The corpse of J.
F. Carr, of Baltimore, was positively
identified, however. Railway officials
made a check of all employes living in
the bunk house and gave out a .list ot
six missing.
Search of the wreckage failed to re
veal and eighth body. Railway repre
sentatives said it was possible that
one of the missing men failed to report
after be had fled from the biasing
hunk house, dtfice records
atroyed and the addresses of some ot
the victims could not be obtained.
The most seriously Injured were
hurt when they jumped from I
ond story of the bunk house.
Investigations Immediately
started by the railroad, police and fire
deportments and by the Department of,
Justice. They were in progress last
night with announcement by the rail
road that It had been unable “to de
termine the cause of the tire."
N. P. Good, chairman of the striking
shopmen on the Pennsylvania system,
In a statement last night, deplored the
firs and said it could not be charged
to the shopmen.
"The ahop destroyed waa under
guard, as I understand It,” said Mr.
Good, "end could not be reached ex
cept by somebody having free access
to the yards."
