«. S. STEEL TRUST TO PAY
ITS INJURED WORKMEN
Families of Employees Killed Will Ba
Pensioned, and Age and Disabil
ity Pensions Promised.
New York, N. Y., April 19.—The
United States Steel Corporation, fol
lowing Its recent announcement of a
general increase in the wages, came
out with nnother announcement of
equal Importance to its employees,
more particularly to those who are
directly engaged In its plants. The
corporation has decided to putin
force at once a system of pensions
and disability payments for depend
ents of those killed while in Its em
ploy and of disability payments for
the injured.
Subsidiary companies have for
years paid benefits to the families of
men killed and to injured workmen,
which, Judge Gary said, have amount
ed to more than $1,000,000 a year, but
the new plan involves no contribution
from the men themselves, and is more
comprehensive and systematic.
A pension system for superanuated
and disabled employees is also under
consideration, and will be putin force
soon.
This action was looked upon in
Wall Street as another move in the
steel corporation's policy of keeping
its men loyal and circumventing So
cialistic and labor union arguments.
All the concessions together, it is
thought in the Street, will have the
effect of disarming 1 the Central Fed
eration of Labor, which has been im
portuning the Washington authorities
against the Steel Trust, and at the
same time, it is predicted, will fore
stall employers' liability legislation.
The Steel Corporation announced
its voluntary decision to increase the
wages of its £OO,OOO employees, the
added expenditure for tliis purpose
being about $9,000,000 a year. It also
declared against Sunday work and
said that arrangements must be made
through which at least 21 hours'
continuous rest each week should be
afforded employees in the manufac
turing plants.
The International Harvester Com
pany, the dominant interests in which
are the same as those in the Steel
Corporation, decided this week to in
sure its employees in all of its plants
against accidents.

SIX FIREMEN DIE
Gasoline Explosion Cuts Them Off
While Fighting New Haven
County Jail Fire.
New Haven, Conn., April 19. —
Trapped by metal doors and steel
barred windows, six flremon were
burned to death in a Are which de
stroyed the old workshop and con
sumed the rear of the Now Haven
County Jail. Five of their companions
were taken to the hospital with se
vere Injuries.
Dead.
BUCKLEY, John, ladderman, Truck 1.
CHAPMAN, C. L., captain, Truck 1.
CULLEN, James T., hoseman, En
gine 4.
DOHERTY, William J., lieutenant,
Truck 1.
M'GKATH, Thomas J., Engine 4.
MOHTELL, James, Engine 4.
INJURED.
HUSSEY, John, hoseman. Engine 4,

Truck 1, body burned.
VAUGH, Thomas J., ladderman,
Truck 1, blinded and burned about
body.
WILCOX, Albert E„ ladderman, Truck
1, head cut and body burned.
Six men from Truck 1 were lighting
their way through the cell room of the
Jail into the workshop when an an ex
plosion of a gasolene tank caused a
back draft and slammed behind them
the iron doors separating the two
buildings. Three of the men were
hemmed in a corner and burned to
death, while the other three made
their way to a barred window, to
which they clung with streams of wa
ter playing on them from the outside.
Soon after reaching the window the
roof fell in. Ladders were put up
from the outside, and lowered Inside,
and the men were pulled out with
ropes. The other dead firemen were
caught by the same back draft as they
were working at rne otner ena oi me"
building, and were carried down by
the roof when it fell in.
The fire was discovered at 9.30
o'clock In the morning in the work
shop of the jail, a small frame build
ing in the rear of the main structure.
Before it could be checked it had
spread to the rear of the Jail, a three
story brick structure, had burned two
small frame buildings in the jail yard,
and destroyed three houses on Hudson
anil two on County street, in the jail
Bojiare. Tlie llatnes were checked
after they had reached the middle of
the main building. The total loss will
be close to $200,000. The transfer of
three hundred prisoners was mado
when the flames shot from the work
shop to the rear of the jail.
Four companies of militia were
called out, and special police and the
constabulary force of the city super
vised the transfer of the prisoners to
the city lockup. The seventy-five wom
en prisoners were sent to the Foot
Guard armory. The prisoners were
put into automobiles, police patrol
wagons, hospital ambulances and all
sorts of conveyances. Not one es
caped.
During the afternoon it was learned i
that most of the cells could be used,
and the prisoners were sent back to
the jail. They were packed into furni
ture vans, each van preceded and fol
lowed by an escort of the state militia
fully armed.
"So you danced with my fiancee
last night at the ball?" "Yes. Did
she tell you?" "Oh, no! I noticed
that she was limping today!"
