say that it is unjust to assert that it

heartily indorses the message, and says he
would like to see labor commission con-

spect everywhere and settle the labor question.

WASHINGTON.

The special committee appointed by
the House of Representatives to investigate the
labor difficulties in the Southwest commenced
operations at Washington with the testimony
of T. V. Powderly. He stated certain abuses
along the Missouri Pacific Road in the way of
exactions for a hospital fund; declared
that nothing of violent nature was
ever counseled by the knights of Labor,
and thought he should soon be able to
suggest legislative remedies for existing evils
Mr. Powderly said that the discharge Of Hall
was not the sole cause of the strike under in
vestigation, and in proof of his statement he
read the declaration of grievances published
by the St Louis Knights. Continuing Mr.
Powderly said:
While was I'm the West heard from the men
of little abuses which do not think the mana
ger OF the Missouri Pacific Railroad knows any
thing about. Along the Iron Mountain Railroad
they have system OF taking Is cents month
from the wages OF a man who receives Al day,
and so cents from the wages Of n man
who receives 81 day. and so ON
in proportion, for what they call N

soon as they are taken sick they are discharged.
and are denied the right OF entering the hos
pital. Then there are instances, which can be
proved. where men have made contracts TO buy

The Bursting OF Dam Near East Lee,
Mass, Results in Terrible
Calamity.
Twelve or Thirteen Persons Drowned end
Property Worth $26O,000 Ut
terly Ruined.
springfield Mass telegram. !

An awful calamity, the result of Careless
ness, took place this morning ut the village
of East Lee, in Berkshire County. The
dam at Mud Pond Reservoir gave away,
causing the death of eight people, and
wrecking property valued at Sl5O,000
or $500, 900. The dam, which was situated
two and one-half miles from the village,
had shown signs of weakness for some
time. The persons responsible or owning
the privilege of its water supply had been
notified, but nothing was done. The pond
covered many acres of swamp, and was in
creased from its original limited size by
extensive dams built by club Of manufact-
urers as storage place for water. The
torrent where the dam burst gushed forth
in resistless stream and rushed down the
valley, Outlying out channel from fifty to
two hundred feet in width. The villagers
got their first news Of the accident by see
ing the flood pouring down the street, the
water being from four TO five feet deep, and
bearing with it trees, parts Of houses and
barns, fences, wagons, and every form OF
movable property The people fed to the
slopes of the valley, along which the tor
rent was pouring, and saw the houses
moved and toppled about like chips on the
river.
There was not much of life or many
buildings to be lost till the village was
reached. Here it wrenched Edwin Sturgis'
barn, swept away bridge spanning the
brook, which is but small as it runs natur-
ally from q small pond, and then rushed
down the channel of the stream on which
the dwellings and manufactures are located.
Couch a. Oakley's millwright shops, John
Dowd's mandatory of paper machinery,
and A. n. Whites carriage shops were all
destroyed.
Mr.. Whites family consisted of himself
and wife, AS and 45 years old, respectively,
their daughter Ida, and baby son. They
were in bed when the flood struck their
house, and were all killed 10y the crash Of
the building and also sunk in the waters.
Theodore King and wife and Mrs. Chas.
King rushed from their house to escapes.
and were carried off by the food and
drowned. The house was not destroyed.
Simon Dowd, 60 years old, was drowned.
Further down the stream John McLaugh-
Inns machine shops, Harrison Garfelds
Forest" and Farmer Decker Sabins place
were ruined. The boilers and all basement
machinery were taken out by the flood, and,
though weighing tons, were carried like
corks. John Veran's paper mill was also
Quilted in the basement.
The flood passed East Lee and went on
down rhe road, destroying lawns, gardens,
fences, and moving smaller buildings, but
had not power to utterly wreck a large
house, though the damage done amounts
to many thousands of dollars. Probably
the total loss'will exceed $4,000.
A great many hands are thrown out of
employment. There is much excitement
and grief.
