Report Issued by the Industrial Com
mission.


The industrial commission has issued a
report on railway labor in the United
States. 1t shows that railway employees in
this country constitute an army of nearly
100000 persons, with probably nearly
5000 600 persons dependent upon the wages
paid by railroads. The report says that
for years to come the railroads will absorb
an increasing number of employees.
Most of the roads, the report says, are
developing a system Of discipline by which
they avoid suspensions and encourage loyal
personal service, and thus promote better
relations between employer and employed.
A general tendency manifest on the part Of
the roads to exercise greater care in the
maintenance of their labor force and in its
improvement is noted. The report urges
some legislative limitations Of the fellow
servant principle or doctrine of common
employment.

THE NEW ,YORK FIRE.
Caused by an Explosion Of Chemicals In the
Wieke Factory.

New York. Feb. 4.--The extent of
the destruction wrought by the confia-
grafton which destroyed nearly a
whole block of buildings at Thirty.
first street and First avenue last night
could be better appreciated this morn
ing. The huge factory OF the William
Wicke Company was almost level with
the ground. Contractor Joseph Cody,
of the building department, with a
force of 100 men, had labored ut the
ruins all night pulling down dangerous
sections OF the walls.
Other property destroyed was the
six.story building, numbers 404, 406
and 408 East Thii ty. second street; the
fivesstory tenement at SAG and 548 First
avenue the five story tenement at 462
East Thirty first street; Jackson's iron
foundry and two story brick building
on Thirty.first street. occupied by the
Swift Dressed Beef Company. About
20 families were rendered homeless by
the burning OF the tenements.
Fire Chief Croker said today he he.
lieved the fire was caused by an explo.
sion OF chemicals in the Wicke fac
tory. He was informed that watch
man had gone into the vault in the
cellar with light end that tn, vault
contained the explosives. The chief
added that he did not know what had
become of the watchman or who he is.
He said the explosion that started the
confagration might have been caused
by illuminating gas getting into the
cellar from the gas main, but he did
not think this was the case.
Policemen Thomas j. Fitzpatrick
and John B. McMullin, who were on
duty at the fire, are reported missing
today.
