Blaze In Phoenix Plant Checked To A Loss Of $4,000

[By United Press]

Milwaukee---A blaze in the plant of the Phoenix Light company here last night was checked just as it was spreading into large quantities of excelsior and straw. Had the alarm been delayed a few minutes the flames would have been out of control. Nearby was a carload of excelsior and a bin full of straw, used to pack fragile light fixtures.

Loss is estimated about $4,000, the blaze damaging light shades of delicate color and fine texture.
