Reichstaq Barred.

advice of Chancellor Won Buelow

SCORE KILLED
IN EXPLOSION
Brooklyn Gas Main Blows Up
With Terrific Force.
WORKMEN DIE IN TRENCH

Whole Street TumbIes Into Fifty

ried Down-Tenements in the
Neighborhood Rendered Dangerous
New York, Nov. 2I.-More than
twenty persons lost their lives as a
result of the explosion of a gas main
at Gold and Front streets, Brooklyn.
Practically the whole street from sroop
line to stoop line between Gold and
Front streets was tumbled into a
fifty-foot excavation in which fifteen
or more men were working and sew
eral persons who were walking along
the street are believed to have been
carried down. Fifty tenement houses
on the block are in such danger of
falling into the trench that the occu-
pants have been ordered out by the
police. At least one woman and three
little girls are said by the police to
have been swallowed up in the cavein
which followed the explosion.
The workmen were digging trench
through Gold street for the installa-
ton of 26-inch sewer pipe. The ex-
cavation was to be nearly forty feet
deep and as the laborers removed the
earth the walls had been shored up
by large timbers. With Charles Schiff-
meyer, a city inspector of sewers,
overseeing the work the men were
working at the bottom of the trench
when an accumulation of gas from a
main which had been accidentally
broken during the course of the work
exploded with tremendous force. The
supporting timbers were ripped away
and the high dirt walls toppled over
on Schiffmeyer and his men. A large
water main also was broken by the
force Of the explosion and a. perfect
torrent of water began to squirt up
through the mass of wreckage. Al
most side by side with these geysers
roared the flames from the gas escap-
ing from the broken main.
So great was the mass of broken
timber and mud in the bottom of the
trench that four hours after the ex-
plosion the police and fremen had
been unable to find any other than
the one body which was found in the
street. It was believed that the bod
les of nearly twenty workmen and an
unknown woman and two children
were buried in the debris, but the
work of recovery was delayed by the
necessity of snoring up the high wall
of the trench before an attempt was
made to clear away the wreckage.
Timbers were hauled to the scene and
the flow of water and gas shut off.
A remarkable feature of the acct
dent was that four men who were
working in the lower part of the
trench and who heard the first sound
of the crumbling timbers saved their
lives by crawling through a sewer
pipe which led towards the East
river. These men were obliged to
make their way through water almost
up to their necks before they reached
a place of safety.

of and an amendment was offered re
storing the original meaning of the
presidents report, which on this sub

"If the situation is to become sc
acute let us personally, as best we
can, defend our rights in the courts

On this subject the committee de.
clared that when judge issues an

to defend any such suit because
would be useless expenditure.
An Amendment Offered.
James Duncan of the granite cut.

of the federation, opposed the recon-

law abiding citizens and should pro

fend themselves at all hazards. He
moved to strike out the words advis
ing the labor men to disobey the in
junction.
Other delegates spoke in support of
or in opposition to the report and
President Gompers then took hand
in the debate.
IF the men and women who have
been cited in Injunction suits had
shown craven spirit I should en-
