FLOOD VISITS THE FOREST CITY
Rain Causes Damages That Are Estimated
at n Million Dollars.

Cleveland. o.. Sept. with the
breaking of dawn yesterday the citi-
zens Of Cleveland awoke to look upon
scene of unparalleled devastation
and destruction caused by a raging
flood. While the entire city was more
or less affected the great volume Of
raging water vented as anger over
miles OF the eastern portion of the
city and caused an amout of DANA ge
approximated at 81 100000. The over
flow was caused by a terrific rain that
comemnced TO fall shortly after , a..

til nearly 10 a. IN. The storm. accord
ing to the weather officials. was the
heaviest that ever swept over Cleve-
land since the establishment of the
government bureau in this city over
forty years ago.
That no lives were lost is nothing
short of a miracle. as the stories OF
thrilling escapes from the water ON
several of the principal resident streets
of the city are told. The surging wat
ers spread over an area in the east
and nearly eight miles long and mile
and a half wide. This extended from

land and hack to East Madison ave

millrace down Lincoln avenue to Euc-
lid avenue. and then on to Glen Park
place, where houses were undermined
as though built of straw, and almost
incredible damage done to streets and
uroperty. Over a large share of this
exclusive residence territory the water
rushed with terrific force, varying I'm
depth from one TO six feet. Culverts,
trestles and bridges were torn down.
and for hours nothing seemed capable
Of stemming the tide.

AT THE DUQUEsNE CARNEGIE PLANT
Strikers Say They VIII Tie It Up sure-Au
the LadIe Men Stay Out

PittSburg. Sept. The principal in
tereSt in strike matters yesterday was
centered in the Duquesne plant, where
il was expected the strikers would
make a decided move toward closing
down the entire works. The report
from there last night said that the
situation was critical. The two boss
meters and all first helpers went 10
work as usual yesterday morning, and
all twelve furnaces were charged. Only
one second helper went in. and all
ladle men stayed out. The strikers
made a thorough house-to-house can
vass of open-hearth men all day. At
p. M. time for helpers and ladle men
to go on. pickets were on duty on the
streets and turned back three ladle
men.
The night turn was badly crippled.
but men were brought from the Bes-
semer department to help out. and the
mill was running full. sixty of the
day turn men were off.
If the open-hearth is shut down the
forty-inch mill must also shut down.
This mill supplies Monessen, Wander
grift and the tin mills. hence the move
ment is important to the strikers Mill
officials admitted that strike was on,
but said no serious results would fol-

Will Talk With the Men If They Go to
WOrk-Reply to the Labor World.
Pittsburg. Sept. 2-It is learned
from reliable authority. in spite of the
great secrecy maintained by Burns
and Shaffer concerning a telephone
conversation between President
Schwab and President Burns, that
something decisive may result. 1t is
said that President Scnwab declined
TO have any conference with Shaffer on
the ground that he no longer repre-
sents any of the men employed by the
corporation. All union men have left
the employ of the company. If these
stoel workers return to work at once,
and the mills resume operations in
full, the whole matter is said to as
sumo a different aspect. and discus
sion between the officials of the trust
and the Amalgamated officials can take
place.
Immediately after this conversation
Burns went to Shaffer and urged him
to call a meeting of the executive
board of the organization at once. so
that the men could be ordered to work
at the earliest moment possible. 1t is
understood that this order will be is
sued not later than Tuesday and would
have been issued before than had il
been possible To get the executive COM
mittee of the organization together.
