Butler’s Narrow Escape From Factory Belt Trap

William Butler a Stoddard rake factory employee nearly died yesterday in a rattling room accident. A shaft set screw snagged his clothing as he climbed a ladder to move a belt, the tightened clothes winding him toward the shaft. He braced against the wall with full force, the collar nearly choking him, the skin rasped as the clothes tore away. The danger ended when the garments parted and he fell to the floor, unseen by coworkers separated by a thin partition.
