Thousands From All Paris
of City Watch Smoke and
Flame Floating Skyward
i'll Creenpoint Section
Mayor Hy]an in Danger
Forced TO Run From Squirt
of Burning Oil; Promises
Increased Pay to Firemen

Flame and smoke roared skyward
with undminished fury last night from
the Standard Oil Company's Kings
County Refinery. in Greenpoint, on the
banks Of Newtown Creek. In the eyes
of thousands of spectators, who crowd
ed on the police lines or watched from
roof tops in all parts of the greater
city, the conAagration appeared as
mcnacing as on Saturday, when per-
sons living in the vicinity abandoned
their homes.
"Smoky Joe" Martin, assistant chief
of the Fire Department.. said last night
however, that the fire was under CON
troll. There was possibility, he said,
that a few additional tanks of naphtha
and kerosene, containing many thou
sands of gallons, might ignite if the
wind shifted to the northeast. Even
so, he said, he thought the :ire prac-
tically would be extinguished by night
fall to- day.
ut has to burn itself out" he said
"We can't throw water into those tanks
of blazing oil without making things
a hundred times worse. The best we
can do is to keep the unignited tanks
cool with streams of water. If we let
and let flood Of fire speed through the
refinery yard. Then we would be in a
fix. We've about quit worrying now,
but in an oil yard fire ! always keep
my fingers crossed until it's out. Pm

there have been no lives lost"
Fire Boats Lashed to Dock
Four fire boats were dashed to the
charred timbers Of the refinery dock, on
the north side of the creek yesterday
They we're pumping a flood of water
into the grounds and preventing any
more blazing oil from being swept into
the creek. The boats themselves were
blistered and blackened from severa
adventurous trips back and forth
through blazing portions of the stream
Saturday night and early yesterday. a
small cataract, an emulsion of crude
oil, gasolene and water from the fire
fighters lines, poured steadily off the
dock into the greasy creek.
The stream is more than 200 feet
wide at that point, yet the timbers or
the dock on the east side were also
charred A fat rending company's
plant was ruin of crumbled bricks
and charred wood. Queens Borough
frcmen were still pumping water into
the Preston works of the American
Candle Company.
The Columbus Distillery was burnee
out. The seven-story building col
lapsed during the night, and yesterday
the fire smouldered in a portion Of tht
wreckage.
The Oil More Stubborn
The oil was more stubborn than th'
alcohol, though, and gave the firemel
not minutes respite. There were a
least 500 Of them on the job yesterday
even after many Of the Manhattan
companies and those from South Brook
lyn had returned to their quarters

Tropical Storm
Sweeps Inland;
Hits Galveston
Brownsville and Corpus
Christi Racked by Gale:
Communication Cut Off;
News of Damage Meagre

GALVESTON. Sept a. - Driving
furiously into the Texas coast. prnci-
pally in the section southwest of Gal
weston, the tropical hurricane that has
skirtcd the United States Gulf Coast
for nearly a week has swept inland
near the Mexican border.
Wire communications have been in
terrupted in most of the affected area,
and the extent Of the storms damage
could not be learned accurately to-
night. There were no reports of fatal-
ties.
Brownsville and Corpus Christi ap-
parcntly felt the brunt Of the storm
which Weather Bureau officials believe
has passed into Mexico, where it will
be dissipated in the Mexican noun
tains.
Galveston. where considerable anx-
iety had been felt, apparently was
struck by the edge of the storm, and
the city was saved from any consider
able damage by the powerful sea wall
constructed after the 1900 disaster.
Galveston Sea Wall Stands
The storm struck Galveston early
day and caused the tidewater to
flood the business section and the
north side of the island to a depth of
three feet. The sea wall wthstood the
onslaught of the pounding waves, how
ever, and there was no damage to the
causeway connecting the city with the
mainland.
Tonight most of the water had
receded from Galveston's streets. al
though an area of several blocks still
ran with water to the curb top. Mer-
chants declared their loss was not
great. Marine circles here report no
shipping loss.
Tonight the wind still was blowing
in gusts from sixty to sixty-tive miles
an hour, but the barometer was rising
steadily and the tide receding. The
maximum area flooded by backwater
from the bay extended seven to nine
blocks from the bay front and the en-
tire length of the north side Of the
island
Danger to City Passes
The United States Weather Bureau
issued a bulletin late to-day saying the
danger to Galveston had passed, but
urging caution because of the high
wind.
With the exception of the streetcal
SYSTEM which was forced to suspend
service early in the day, all public util
tiles came through the storm intact
Small crowds gathered on the boule
ward, which skirts the sea wall. bu
they soon dispersed. Later, when the
water backed in from the bay, refugees
began struggling through the streets
A number of refugees accepted
shelter in Office buildings. Others were
housed in the county courthouse, the
public library and the city schools.
Water was reported to a depth Of si1
feet in sections Of Corpus Christi. II
formation received by the Weathe
Bureau at San Antonio said the wate
was three feet deep in the lobby Of
Corpus Christi hotel.
Earlier reports to-day from Corpu
Christi told of considerable damag

BY Stanley rost

How wide and deep is the American
labor crisis!
The first answer is that no one ex-
actly knows.
The figures quoted above are the
best obtainable and are trustworthy
as far as they go, but they do not
tell the number Of persons affected by
strikes nor the quantity of production
involved.
Neither the United States Depart
ment of Labor nor the American Fed
Grafton of Labor can give that essen
tial information.
In its review Of business for August
the Federal Reserve Bank Board for
the first time seriously referred to the
general anxiety about labor unrest"
and to the decline in production pro-
ceeding from that cause, but gave no
concrete information. 1t hasn't any.

Points on Which
Authorities Agree

The Tribune haS attempted an in
quiry into conditions. 1t has sought
information from the labor commits
sioners of the various states and from
leading bankers, as we'll as from the
United States Department Of Labor
and the officials of organized labor
and from employers organizations.
The yield Of this inquiry is a fairly
general agreement as to three things,
namely:
That there has been a very pro-
i. nounced and progressive decline
in actual quantity of goods produced.
- That shorter hours and higher
4. wages have not been compensated
for by increased efficiency.
y That there is great need for au-
y. thoritative and prompt statistical
data on the state of labor.
There is, of course, a great mass Of
facts from which it would be unsafe
to deduce conclusions. They are in
teresting, however, merely as facts.
1t is clear that the number of strikes
now going on is about double what
would be called normal" This is not
a satisfactory measure of the increase
in the quantity or intensity Of un-
rest, but it is all the measure there Is.
The cause of increase, in spite of
some spectacular disturbances of the
early spring, did not begin to rise
rapidly till about the middle Of May
which was also about the date of the
ending of unemployment and the re-
sumption of business activity on q
scale which caused "The Federal Re-
serve Bulletin" to predict an unusually
busy and productive summer and fall
prediction which held good only til
into July.
These bulletins give the basis fo,
estimating the relation Of the labor
crisis to economic and manufacturing
conditions
