The Brooklyn Citizen
Saturday, 27 September, 1913

         MAX BLANCK FINED $20
         
         Such is the Penalty for Locking the Doors
          of Shop on Employees
          
         MAX BLANCK, in whose Triangle Shirt Waist factory
       147 girls were burned to death on March 25, 1911,
       yesterday was convicted in the Court of Special
       Sessions in Manhattan, of locking the three exits
       of his new factory, No. 79 Fifth avenue, where 150
       girls are employed. Justice Russell fined him $20.
       
         In imposing the minimum penalty, the court offered
       BLANK (sic) the alternative of five days in the peni-
       tentiary. BLANCK smiled, pulled out a big roll of
       money, peeled off a $20 bill, and walked out.
