the flood condition in the lower Brazos
valley at Brookshire. Wallis, Richmond.

very bad. Wallis reports that the Bra

backwater within one and a quarter
miles of town is ten feet deep.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
bridge at Wallis is two feet under wa
ter. The Southern Pacific road west of
Houston is washed out near Rosenberg
and Richmond. The Santa Fe is wash
ed out near Thompson. It is feared
when the rise now at Wallis gets to
Rosenberg and Thompson the conse-
Quences will be serious. At o'clock to-
night the river is rapidly rising at
Thompson.
The Columbia tap road is washed out

weston, Houston and San Antonio, the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass. and
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail
roads is cut off.
The little town of Brookshre. in Wal
ter county, where the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas Railroad crosses the
Brazos river. is surround by water.
Many persons were caught in trees.
Those driven out of the valley flocked
to the town and are being fed. One
fact which tends to discredit the heavy
loss of life in the lower BraZos valley
is that the planters knew the flood was
coming and had time to warn their
hands.
Outside of the disasters at Calvert
and Brookshire there have been about
six drownings during the past week at
different points in central and SOUTH
ern Texas, due to the floods
The News Will not attempt to give an
estimate as to the crop damage, but
believes the rains have done more good
than harm. Crops outside the flooded
districts are in fine condition. The
water reccdes rapidly and the crops
viii not be n total loss in the flooded
districts. Many localities will re-plant
cotton and have time to make a crop.

(By Telegraph to virginian-Pilot.)
The Hague, July 5.-The American
delegates scored a great success to-day
in obtaining from the Peace Conference
a unanimous vote In favor OF having
the question of private property at sea
in time of war dealt with at confer
ence to be summoned hereafter.
Much diplomatic management was
necessary and many obstacles had to be
surmounted before the result was
reached.

culties involved In deciding what con-
stituted contraband of war. but in
sisted that these supplied one of the
best arguments Cor n full and prompt
discussion. The suffering and losses
which seizures entailed were immense.
while the effect upon the ultimate re-
suit Of war was almost nothing. Re
ferring TO the experience of the United
States in the war of rebellion, he said
that only three Confederate cruisers
did anything Of importance. but they
captured l69 vessels, ouadrupled the
rate of insurance between America and
Great Britain and caused the transfer
OF half million tons of American
shipping to British bottoms. The final
result was that the whole American
marine was virtually swept out of eX-
istencc.
''If that resulted from the operations
of three poorly equipped little steam
ers." he continued. what would happen
with the means at the disposal of the
greater nations to-day. Yet every one
knows that this privateering had not
the slightest effect in ending. or even
shortening, the war. nor would it have
had any. even IL the losses had been
ten times greater
Mr.. White warmly repudiatcd the
superstition that the Americans were
animated by selfish considerations.
They were eminently practical, he said.
but not less pre-eminently devoted to
great ideals. The question he was urg-
ing upon the delegates, he asserted.
was one OF right, justice and progress
for the whole world, and this all Ameri-
cans felt deeply.
BRITISH OPINION DIVIDED.
Sir Julian Paunccfote. head OF the
British delega tion. said that British
opinion was divided on the subject. and
that he had no instructions regarding
1t. In his personal opinion. the ques-
ton was outside the scope Of the coft-

The Habit Of InterruDting.

A few days since, | was present
1T a small luncheon party of

surprise the scant courtesy they
showed to one another during

GRATITUDE.

Three young men who vol
unteered their services to their
country when the war broke
out, left Sunday evening for
the front, where they go to en-
list in the regular army. After
they we're mustered out of ser
vice they sought work, and
nothing presenting itself they
had no alternative but return
to the army or become
tramps. What patriotic lot
of people we are, anyway, WITH
our mouths. The boast was
made when the boys went
away last spring that when
they returned every citi-
zen would interest himself to
see that they were supplied
with positions. All talk! Many
a young fellow who left a lu-
crative position found that his
place had been filled perma-
nently when he returned, and
he has been compelled to walk
the streets, all for his country's
sake. If another war was to
break out tomorrow there are
precious few who offered their
services last spring who would
do so again.

1.-THE MODEL CITY,"

Pullman, ILL.,, the city which
George NJ. Pullman and the
Pullman Car company build
ed, and what was at one time
supposed to be the model city
of the continent, is no more.
That is, it's charter as a city has
been taken away. 1t has been
merged into the great city of
Chicago, and it will become a
part of that metropolis. For
many years Pullman stroye to
build this city after his own
ideas. It was self-governing,
and the principal part of it's
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1899-01-14

citizens were in some way con
nected with the Pullman Pal
ace Sleeping Car factory. It
was advertised to the world as
a model place, where all it's cit
izens were happy and prosper
Gus. It boasted of good schools,
magnificent churches, and that
it was the cleanest and best
regulated city on earth. It was
set up for a model for others to
copy after, and many we'll
meaning paper and magazine
filled it's columns with praises
both of the city and it's found
er. It was an ideal city, found
ed for the benefit of mankind,
or at least it was so represent
ed to the world. It became fa-
nous in foreign lands.
The world knew of Pullman,
but it did not know the truth
until the great strike of 1894,
when Eugene V. Debs drew the
mantle of hypocrisy and ex-
posed it to the world in it's true
light. There was an exposure
of deviltry and abuse such as
few people ever see, and of
which they rarely ever hear.
The laborers, supposed to be
prosperous and happy, were
found to be slaves, bound hand
and foot to their keeper-more-
so than the negro before free
dom was declared for him.
Men who had grown old in the
service of Pullman were little
better than paupers. A system
of high-handed robbery was
carried on that left the toiler
nothing. Exorbitant rentals,
water and light taxes, and ev-
cry conceivable means was re-
sorted to that would bring back
the money into the treasury of
the Pullman company, and
leave the workmen penniless,
at the mercy of this avaricious
corporation. One exposure af-
ter another followed in rapid
succession. The shock was
more than even Pullman
could stand. He died shortly
after, practically unwept,
leaving a fortune of ill-gained
wealth that in time will be
scattered to the. four winds of
heaven, and the world is no
better that he ever lived. The
work of lifetime crumbles in
moment for the reason that
the foundation on which it was
constructed was rotten. Pull
man will be remembered only
as a place where tyrant took
advantage of his helpless fel-
low creatures, and systemati-
cally robbed and wronged
them. Pullman, the man, is
dead. Pull man, the city, is
gone from the map of the
world, and there is no great
sorrow for the departure of
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1899-01-14

profits on the crude ore will
warrant it as we'll. But let the
lead trust continue to grow un-
til it is powerful enough to
dictate the price of concentrates
and make a market rate too low
to warrant $3.50 wage rate
and there are not enough labor
or EXAMINATIONS this side of heav-
en- to enforce the present union
scale. Might as we'll try to get
blood out of a turnip. A union
scale can never exceed the pro-
fits of independent operators,
nor even equal them, and the
profits of a trust are too remote
from the center of wage distri-
button to be reached through
ordinary demands. Further
more, a trust can disband a To-
cal labor union at will by peri
odical suspensions in chosen
localities. We remember once
of living in a city that boasted
of large starch factory, which
employed 118 men, all union
men, and consumed !, 800 bush
els Of corn per day. The starch
trust came along and bought
the plant under the threat of
bankrupting the company.
Then it closed the doors of the
factory. One hundred and
eighteen men scattered into
other fields, the union died, and
today the silent walls of that
factory stand out like the mas
onry of an ancient temple
against the horizon of the set
ting sun. The trust increased
the price of starch enough to
pay it's cost and tookadvantage
of the surplus of labor to open
the doors of another starch fac
tory in a far distant part of the
country. Take the flour trust
which IS, about to absorb the
Duluth Imperial Mill company.
What will it care about organ
lied labor asking that the bar
rels used be, purchased in
Duluth? The local company
may have considered it but the
trust will buy where it pleases
and organized labor can't help
it. It is an easy matter for any
great trust to in this way dis
band at will any labor organi-
zation that attempts to en-
croach on the margin Of it's
profits. There is only one way
that labor organizations can
successfully resist them and
that is to own these combines
themselves. This can be
brought about by education and
legislation. Of course in the
event that labor gets hold of
the reins of government the
combinations will rise like the
slave power and fight for their
privileges, it will then be patri-
otic and honorable to meet
them in the same way.
Labor organizations have
only too short a time to educate
their members and prepare for
the crucial test. Let the unions
strengthen the bonds of broth
erhood and reason together,
Not only is industry being
chained to this juggernaut OF
greed, but the money trust is
laundering at the doors of con.
gress for the privilege of rivet.
