Lyon & HeaIy, the piano manufac-
turers, today closed down their fac

watches in their hands and time was
not even taken out if the men went
to get drink Of water.
The employees protested against
this system of espionage, explaining
that beyond it's innate Objectionable
ness it made them less able to do
good work because of the feeling that
they were being watched all the time.
The officials of the company bland
ly replied that they were only trying
to increase the mems wages by IN
creasing their efficiency, and when
Emerson's experts" at last became
insufferable the men struck.
Now Lyon & Healy have closed
down their entire factory-not even
the superintendent were on the Job

it will stay closed until further no

one great torrent to overwhelm dwell
lngs and buildings of all kinds.
The levee, almost in the centre of
Dayton, which ordinarily would have
held the waters in check, stood the
pressure only for a few minutes. AS
the crest of the flood from the reser-
voir reached the city the levee broke
and the flood went rushing into the
streets.
Four hundred children are believed
to have persisted together in one of
the large schools right in the path of
the flood. 1t was known that the chill
dren were in the building just before
the 1oGd broke. The building was
carried away and it is thought that
none of thcm escaped.
Cleveland is paralyzed by the flood
that has inundated miles of territory,
made hundreds homeless, flooded a
hundred factories, cut off the city from
outside communication, and caused
millions of dollars of property damage.
Scores had narrow escapes from death
in the swelling watera.
Life-savers rescued IS persons from
homes near Denison and Harvard ave-
nues. Seventeen were babies.
Lumber valued at $600,000 was
swept down the river. Eight miles of
docks were inundated at a damage of
100000.
Nearly every factory and plant in
the Cuyahoga Valley was flooded.
Twenty thousand men will be out of
work for at least a week.
A cyclone followed by a heavy down
pour wrecked 200 homes in Louisville,
Ky, and caused property damage esti-
mated at $4,000, 900. Reports showed
that practically all of the State had
suffered.
Several were killed near Murphys-
boro, Ill, in a terrific cyclone. Many
others were reported injured.
At Herrin, Ill, one person was killed
and several injured. The property
loss here was reported to be heavy.
It will be impossible for several
days to get an accurate report of the
casualties in the flood. Undoubtedly
the flood is the greatest disaster that
either Ohio or Indiana has ever en-
countered.
1t rs practically impossible to COM
municate with any Of the stricken
towns or cities. Nearly all wires are
down and trains have stopped run-
ming. The stories of death and suffer

that managed to get through by tele-
graph or telephone before the full
force of the disaster was felt.

as if nothing had happened. Every
telegraph officer in the city reported
for duty, and the lines were repaired
and put in operation as fast as pos
sible. Most of the city could be
reached by telephone three hours
after the storm.

impedes relief work and renders the
plight of 10000 refugees more pitiful.
Late reports received from Dayton
stated that fires had fared up out in
many sections of the city and we're
burning fiercely. There was little
chance of checking the fires as the
city's water department was crippled.
The citizens of the city were depend
ing much on theNheavy rains that had
caused the disastrous floods to check
the fires.
