SHOPMEN UN HARRIMAN LINLS STRIKF.
Traffic Not Inter uptad. Gsaeral MaBigir
Safs Strike Is Uncalled For.
Chicago, Sept. 30. The
threatened strike of the ehop
men on the Hard in an lines to
enforce recognition of their
nevy-organized federation
became -a reality today. The
number of men who quit in
tlje fifteen States affected was
estimated at between 20,000
ana.J30.000 by the union men;
although Julius Kruttschnitt,
vice-president of the Harri
man' lines, in a statement to
night, said the number was
much smaller.
Reports from most of the
points indicated that the men
walked out without demon
stration and no rioting was
repented.
Traffic was continued with-?
out interruption and the rail
road heads say that the shop
mens' strike, even if extend
ed.fwould not interfere with
transportation.
The strike ord er was general
throughout the middle West
and in tne oout n. I ne .men
hadreceived notices from the
international presidents oi
the five crafts directly in vol v-.
ed and when the hour ca?9
they laid down their tools.
At New Orleans, where the
strike already had extended
from a strike of the Illinois
Central clerks and the men
had 5 been out several days,
two?men received jail sen
tences for violation of Federal
injunctions restraining them
from interfering with the
company's property.
In the far West it was said
by - the six roads a small per
centage of workers responded
to l ther strike call. Vice
President Kruttschnitt issued
the following statement:
"At many of the inter
mediate points on the Union
d.Jorthern racific lines,
shop forces were laid off to
reduce working time and ef
feet reduction of expenses.
At other points no men at all
went out and at some points
only one or two.
"Train schedules on all
lines are norma! and the
maintenance of regular sche
dules will in no manner be
interrupted.1' v
The men involved are divid
ed into the following groups,
according to the union men:
Machinists 10,000; boiler
makers 4,000; blacksmiths 3,
000; car men 11,000; clerks
1,000; miscellaneous workers
1,000.
W. L. Markham, vice presN
dent and general manager of
the Illinois Central, issued a
circular to employes ot the
road tonight characterizing
the demands of the men as
radical, relating the history
of the negotiations and charg
ing that the contracts be
tween the men and the unions
had not been abrogated by
the necessary thirty days
notice. Concluding, he said:
"It is weil known that the
international officers of at
least some of the crafts sups
ported our positions and bit
terly opposed violating their
contracts by consenting to
call a strike on the Illinois
Central. The conservatives
seemed to be in the minority,
however, and the result is one
of the most uncalled for walk
outs of labor in the history
of this country.
The Illinois Central has not
sought this controversy and
has no quarrel with organiz
ed labor as such, but it will
use all the resources at its
command to retain such con
trol of the management as
will enable it to continue the
exercise of public functions
for which it was created, and
which subsequent events have
shown it could not have con
tinued to exercise. ' had the
management consented to
enter i negotiations with the
organization which is primar
ily responsible for this
trouble."

Ooudeersport, Pa., Sept. 80.
With a roar that could be heard

Austin, Pa., fourteen miles from
here, went ont at 9:80. o'clock
this afternoon . Forty bodies had
been recovered from the rirns
when darkness cams this evening
and it is estimated that fall four
hundred are unaccounted , for and
are believed t? be dead.
The dam, whioh was 580 feet
long and 49 feet high, was 82 feet
thiok at the base and held back
more tban five hundred million
gallons of water. For tne first
time since its construction two
years ago the water was , running
over the top today and many per
sons went out from Austin a mile
and a half away to see the unusual
sight.
They were horrified when a
section about twenty feet wide
gave way on tne west side. A
great volume of water poured
through the bole .and the alarm
was quiokly sounded., People ran
for their lives to the hills near
by, but some were caught in the
flood and whirled down the val
ley. A moment later another
break occurred, this time on the
east side. It was -much greater
than the first and permitted the
bulk of the watsr behind, it to
rush in mighty valums towards
the lowlands.

the time was short. The raging
flood tore down the little valley
carrying death on its debris-oov-
ered crest. Hundreds of woman
and children, the men were away
at work, were caught in their
homes and drowned or crushed
before they knew what had hap
pened. Houses went down before
the mighty orush of water, and
gas pipes, bent and broken, re
leased their dangerous fluid. Be

Visited the sight of the ruined

cf the. flood and escapes were re
counted. : .Credit for the quick
spreading of the flarm was given
to Lena Bimekey, a telephone
operator. Upon ; receiving the
message from the Cliff house that
the dam had broken, she pushed
the alarm button , connecting with
the fire department and the en
gineers offioe of the Goodyear
lumber mill below the town :
The engineer tied his whistle
down and the fire bell was sound
ed continuously. She then rush
ed to the street, screaming the
warning ory, "The dam has
broken." Then she fled for her j
life toward the steep hillside at
the north , end of Main street.
Turning toward the valley, she
saw the great wall of water de
scending upon the town.
"From where I stood," she said
today, "the wall of water seemed
fifty feet high. Above it rose a
great cloud of spray, in which
houses seemed to toss, bumping
against one another, spinning and
turning as they fell to pieces or
were swept out of my sight. The
noise was appalling.
when I fled from Mam street
there were soores of people behind
me, many of them children.
They did not seem to appreciate
the imminence of their danger.
"Some turned into stores as if
to make a 'casual purchase
While I was looking down upon
them, utterly helpless to give fur
ther warning, the cloud of mist
that seemed to precede the flood,
hid them from view and a mo
ment later the green water bur
ied the houses from nay sight.".
Chief of Police D. . Baker
took an informal oensus today
and from his list calculated that
at least three hundred of the resi
dents were unaccounted for.
Bark S. M. Siebert, chairman of
the oitisen's . committee, and
Miohael Murrin, the burgess,
pointed out that this reckoning
necessarily is inaccurate ' beoa&sa
many: of those who escaped the
flood are wandering, about today
trying to house themselves and
those 4spending upon them.
; Burgess Murrin said today that
in his opinion not more than one
hundred and fifty lives were , lost,
j ''It is possible that this figure
will . eover the loss," he said,
"and it is possible thet there wil I
be not more than one hundred
dead.'
The burgess and the Rev. P.
W. O'Brien, .who are familiar
with business conditions and val
ues, estimate the property dam
age at about 16,000,000. The
Bayiess company, Which owned
the dam, will lose $1 500,000, the
Goodyear , Lumber Company,
1,000,000, the Buffalo & Sus
quehanna Railroad, 1500,000 and
the three hundred houses de
stroyed with their contents, it ii
said, will total $1,000,000 m re.
One of the striking and pathet-
10 features of the day, according
jto Dr. Thomas H. A. retei,
chief of the state dispensaries,
was the practical absence of chil
dren among the survivors. It is
thought that when the wreckage
has been oleared away and the
bodies of viotims reoovered, al
though many have been entirely
destroyed, it would be found that
a large pr portion ot them were
children.

When he heard the alarm given
he thought some one was playing
a practical joke, and he went into
the st eet to watch the people's
let ons. He looked in the direc
tion of the dam and saw the on
coming flood was but three blocks
away.
"It looked like a wall of wood,
twfcuty-five feet high." he said.
"At first glanoe I did not see .the
water at all because the ,wood at
tbe pulp mill was carried before
the water and became a sort of
battering ram that tore away the
buildings of the town. I ran to
wards the hill and by the greatest
effort got above the level of the
water while it was surging within
ten feet of me. The ground began
to give, way under me, but 1 man
