FACTORY DESTROYED.
Thousands of Pounds’ Damage. SYDNEY, July 22. While nearly 100 policemen and police cadets kept in check a crowd of seething and excited onlookers, firemen from five brigades fought a desperate battle to-dav with the flames that gutted the motor body-building factory of Peters, Bryden and Peters in Redfern. Sydney. Drums of petrol and paint exploded, and many of the 150 employees had remarkable escapes from injury. A number of valuable vehicles were saved, but damage amounting to many thousands of pounds was done to others. Employees, amid the flames, drove out the vehicles until it was impossible to do anything further in the overpowering fumes.
