ANOTHER PAUL REVERE.

While the town of Costello, Pa, was
almost destroyed by the flood, its death
list is only two. The victims are Ed
ward W. Earl and Mrs. Hodges. That
the fatalities were not proportionately
as large as those in Austin is due to n
dramatic and successful warning given
OF the impending disaster.
Edward Young, a workman, in the
Standard Lumber Mill, in Austin, and
whose home is i'll Costello, heard the
roar Of the food while it was still halt
mile away, and his first thought as he
saw the wall of water was of his wife
and little ones here, 8 miles from the
mill. He measured the torrents speed
with his eye, then, coatless and hatless,
jumped on his bicycle and sped for Cos.
tello.
Down the Smile valley he pedaled
with the roar ever swelling behind him.
He shouted warning as he sped past
isolated houses, whose occupants fed
to the hilltops. Two minutes in the
van OF the flood, he dashed into Cos
tello shrleking his message, and Cos
tello, almost TO man fled.
Young gained his home, burst into
the house, shouted to his wife, and be-
tween them they carried their children
to safety.
Before the arrival OF Young, A. r.
Mcdonald, a Western Union operator
at Austin, had flashed down the line
the news Of the danger to the town.
The Costello operator was not in his
Office.
About so buildings were destroyed at
Costello. About $50 persons were
homeless Saturday night, many Of
them sleeping on rugs thrown on the
soggy ground.

ORDNANCE CHIEF
ENDORSES PART OF
TAYLOR SYSTEM
Five Arsenals to Adopt New
Plan of Management.
BLOW AT UNION LABOR

A bom0shell was dropped into the
ranks Of organized labor yesterday aft
ernoon when Brig. Gen Crozier. Chief
of Ordnance Of the War Department
who has just returned from q tour of
Inspection of the arsenal at Watertown
the Taylor system relating to economic
management has proven eminentIy sat
!sfactory and would be introduced al
four other government arsenals.
While the first part of the Taylor
"efficiecy system" is not the one that
has incurred the deepest enmity of the
American Federation of Labor and af-
fl!ated organization, all unions have
at different times taken a positive
stand against it. The Columbia Lodge
comprising the employees of the navy
yard here, protested against the plan
when Secretary Meyer considered its
Introduction.
Test Is Satisfactory.
The trial that has been given this
part Of the Taylor plan OF manage
ment," said Gen. CrozIer, has been
found eminently satisfactory n: the Wa
tertowr Arsenal. II has convinced the
officials of the War Department that II
is valuable, practical plan, and they
Will continue to use II. I do not believe
that members OF labor unions object to
this plan except because of their fear
that its adoption means the adoption OF
the second portion of the plan, which
more vitality affects the workingman.' -
The arsenals in which the Taylor sys-
tenn Of management is to be introduced
are Watervliet, n. Y: Rock Island, Ill.
Springfield, Mass, and Frankford, Pa.
The system will, of course, continue at
Watertown.
With the introduction Of the plans for
reform will come also the use of tools
which are recommended under the new
system. This portion of the system
adopted relates entirely to the saving of
time and expense by the application of
scientific principles to all work done in
the arsenals. The work is so planned as to
reduce to a minimum the amount of
waste in material, saving, 1t has been
estimated. from 25 to ~ per cent to the
employer.
This introduction Of half of the TAYLOR
system will affect about 1000 employees
in the five arsenals, nearly all Of whom
are members of organized labor. So far
they have registered no protest against
the installation uf the system.
Wage Scale Affected.
Gen. Crozier stated in addition. that
the second portion of the Taylor system,
relating to the wage scale and labor Of
the employees, would continue in use at
Watertown for time at least
1t was stated last night at Federation
headquarters, that protests had already
been registered with the War and NAVY
departments against the use of any part
Of the Taylor system, but those in au-
thority declined to state what their next
move would be
l am surprised to hear that this svs-
TEN: even in part, has been brought into
use said Secretary Frank Morrison.
President GOmPers declared that for
the time being he would remain silent on
the subject.
