EIGHTY GIRLS DELIBERATELY
BURNED TO DEATH
St. Petersburg, June 19. Believed
to have been enraged by the tactics of
the sugar planters in importing cheap
woman labor, villagers of the Piriatin.
sugar beet district deliberately set
fire to a building where eighty girls
were sleeping, and burned them to
death, according to a dispatch from
Kief.
The doors were barricaded and the
women had no chance to escape.
Their frantic shrieks and prayers as
they beat on the doors and windows
could be heard above the roaring of
the flames.
Much cheap labor has been im
ported into this district of late, and
it is supposed that the men who set
fire to the building, which was a
dormitory occupied by women, chose
this method of revenge.
