BUILDING TRADES
BOARD DISRUPTED

New York. June 9.-With a sudden
ness that surprised many of the dele
gates themselves, the united board of
building trades was disrupted yester-
day afternoon, one faction of sixteen
delegates leaving the hall, while twen-
ty more remained inside and jeered the
seceders as they strobe down the
stairs.
This came soon after Samuel Parks,
walking delegate of the Horsesmiths'
and Bridgemen's union. had been ar
rested, almost under the windows of
Brevoort hall, where the meeting was
held. Parks had been president of the
board from 1899 to 1901, and naturally
his arrest stirred his former colleagues
to high rancor. but when they saw
their central body collapse. with all II
meant to them, Parks was soon forgot
ten and the delegates gave their atten-
ton to more important matters.
The break in the board was practi-
cally a sharp parting between skilled
and nnskilled workmen John j. DON
ovan, president of the board, and Will
lam II. Farley. secretary. followed by
the representatives of fourteen other
unions OF skilled workmen. walked out,
and left the representatives of twenty
other unions, for the greater part un-
skilled. in possession of the hall.
1t is the plan OF the seeding faction
to organize a new board that shall
contain nothing but representatives of
skilled trades. and be in fact and name
the United Board of Building Trades.
with all laborers and unsklled labor
eliminated
In all there are thirty-nfne unions in
the united board and its total mem
bership exceeds $4,000 OF the highest
paid workmen in the country. The
united board has always been conao-
cred as one OF the most powerful labor
organizations in the country.

ESTIr1ATE OF
KANSAS LOSSES

Kansas City, June 9.-Kansas has
suffered as a result of the recent floods
more than any other state. No exact
figures of the loss sustained can, of
course, be given. but the damage done
in the principal cities and towns is es-
timated as follows:
North Topeka, 100000; Lawrence,
$3.50, 600; Salina. 100000; Manhattan.
$50 900; Junction City. 100000; Solo
man. $4,000; Abilene. s250,O00; Linds-
borg. 100000; Hutchinson, 100000;
Minneapolis. 100000; Emporia. $685.
900; Florence. $50 600; Lincoln Center.
$50 900; Atchison. 100000; Argentine.
$1,000 900; Kansas City. and suburbs.
81, ,00O. .000
Nearly 200 smaller towns were af-
fected by the floods.
The lowest estimate that can be
made of the loss done to crops is
81, 900 900.
All day Sunday gangs of men were at
work clearing up the west bottoms. the
Union depot. the railway yards, the
wholesale houses. the stockyards, and
the various packing houses. and there
was quite general resumption in all
lines of business Monday morning.
The extent of the damage to the rail-
roads operating in and out of Kansas
City, caused by the flood, can scarcely
be estimated. Outside of the very con-
siderable item involved in loss of
freight, in cars and buildings. nearly
all lines out of Kansas City suffered
severe losses in washed-out track and
destroyed bridges. The loss in freight
flooded, burned or lost down the river
may amount to s2.000000 or s3000.000.
The Burlington estimates its loss in its
freight house alone at s500.O Each OF
the other roads lost as much.

SOCIALISM AGAIN
HAS A MAJORITY

Denver, June 6.-The Western FEEDER
alton of Miners on Thursday In con-
vention -dopted resolution re-afiirm-
ing its belief In socialism as solu-
ton for the ills OF the wage Garner.
The vote was 125 to 20.
The American Labor Union adopted
n resolution raising the per capita tax
four cents a month for each member
with the understanding that the gem
eral officers will deliver the American
Labor Journal free to members. This
action was considered practically as
committing the convention to social
ism. as the Journals management is
accused by non-socialists with using II
principally for the dissemination OF So
ciallst doctrines.
The opposition was waged vigorous
ly by delegates from Butte.
A resolution was adopted by the
American Labor Union favoring the
consolidation of the Journal and Min
ers' Magazine, and notice Of this action
served on the miners convention.
A resolution TO establish an insur-
ance fund was referred to the execu-
tive board. The secretary was instruct
ed to transmit $3.50 to aid the Kansas
food sufferers.
A new code OF mine signals was
adopted. and an effort made to have
1t put In use in all mines throughout
the Jurisdiction.
The American Labor Union adopted
a union label, which will be used on
all wares and products of its menu
bers
A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing the executive board to proceed
with the organization Of school teach
ers throughout the West
A committee OF fifteen was appointed
TO remodel the constitution so that the
machinery will all be under state and
local control, the latter 10 be subordi-
nate to tine former instead Of TO one
general headquarters. The reasons as
cribed were that the new plan will
centralize effort and yield better re
suits.
1t was decided, after bitter fight
TO retain the general headquarters at
Butte.
