Steel Trust Loses Three Million in Shelby Tube Plant Fire
A Shelby Ohio steel tube plant owned by United States Steel Corp lost six months production valued at about three million dollars when a fire destroyed stock buildings. The blaze, caused by defective wiring, confined to the storage area, left the plant built in 1890 and spanning ten acres, with some tubing possibly salvageable for reuse. Meanwhile Chicago theater rules push back openings until safety systems meet a new code, likely delaying many houses. In McLean Nebraska five robbers robbed the McLean State Bank, escaping with cash after a rapid-fire exchange with townsfolk.
