LIFE TOLL IS TAKEN
BY RUSHING WATER
GOTHIC COLUMBIA TOWNS ARE
WIPED OUT BY RUSHING
WATERS FROM HILLS
Thirty Six Lives Are Reported Missing
And Damage Done Runs Into
Millions Of Dollars; Railroad
Heavy looser.

Vancouver. Il. C.,-The toll of lives
lost in the flood which plunged down
the mountainside Friday evening,
virtually wiping out the town of Brit
ania Mines on Howe sound and par
tally inundating Frazer valley just
east of here, reached thirty-six Sun.
day. The property loss is estimated
at SEVERAL million dollars.
Fully half of the 10 neat cottages
were carried away on the crest of the
flood. Others were smashed to pieces
by the onrushing waters and most Of
the remainder were still partially
submerged Sunday.
Four children are dead and ten 9th
ers are reported missing. Ten of the
dead and all of the injured were
brought to Vancouver last Sunday.
All injured are expected to recover.
An energetic search for the missing
was made Sunday, but the work was
slow because of the difficulties in
clearing away the wreckage. 1t is
considered doubtful If the bodies of
some of the missing will never be
recovered, as they are believed to
have been washed into the muddy
waters Of Howe Sound.
Manager J. Donahue of the Britain
mia mines Sunday described efforts
made by those on duty at the mines,
three miles back from the beach, to
warn residents. When the railway
fill which caused the accumulatin of
water in the hills gave way and re-
leased rearing torrent into the creek,
warning of the disaster was sent
over the private telephone lines of the
mines. This message was received
by Miss Ellen Patterson, telephone
operator at the compressor plant in
the village. She rang everybody con-
1 nected by telephone, relaying the
miners message: "For Gods sake
get out of your houses; flood coming"
Before warning could be understood
and circulated, the waters crashed
down, sweeping transmission lines and
plunging the village into darkness.
The waters had fallen 1000 feet in
their three-mile journey down the
mountain and smashed straight
through the center of the settlement
Britannia creek now runs through the
village itself, which is under several
feet of water strewn with wreckage.
The only unchanged buildings on
the residential side of the town are
the custom house, a moving picture
theater and amusement hall, and a
few houses. On the other side, a
store, hotel and several mill shops
were standing.
The lighting system was restored
Sunday in the south side.
Squamish, a town eight miles north
of here, also is flooded, but the dam
age is not great.

WARNED AGAINST
FUTURE STRIKES
MUST TRAIN TO ATTAIN LABOR
BoRAD's SANCTION OR BE
cLASSED AS OUTLAWS
Action Taken AS Sequence Of Settle
ment Of Trouble Threatening
Walkout; Orders Given
Are to the Point.

Chicago,-The United States rail-
road labor board Saturday, in effect.
forbade railroad union labor from
striking without the boards permits
sion and declared that all strikers
who violated the order would be class
ed as outlaws who had voluntarily re-
moved themselves from the protection
of the transportation act.
The board, in three rulings, set
out:
First-That all rail disputes must
be referred to the board before any
action is taken.
Second--That any interruption Of
traffic would be blow aimed at the
peace, prosperity and safety of the en-
tire nation.
Third-That all union going out on
strike will forfeit its right and the
rights of it's members in all existing
contracts and lose all benefits accord
ed by the transportation act.
This was the boards final state
ment on the railroad strike which was
to have been called Sunday morn
ing by the big four brotherhoods and
the switchmen's union. 1t set forth
in plain language the boards deter
mination to assert the maximum pow
er allotted to it under the transporta-
ton act.
The labor board, after detailing the
decision of both sides to abide by the
law, says these facts render it UNI
necessary for the board to make and
| further orders on or about this mat
ter, and move it to congratulate the
parties directly interested, on this re-
turn to industrial peace, triumph of
the reign of law and the escape from
this national disaster.
But at this time, the board deems
it expedient and proper to make its
rulings a position on some of the
points involved so clear that no grouno
for any misunderstanding can here
after exist.
First, when any changes Of wages
contracts or rules previously in effect
are contemplated or proposed by
either party, conferences must be had
as directed by the board, and where
agreements are not reached the dis
pute mus be brought before this
board, and no action taken or change
made until authorized by the board.
Second, the ordering or authoriz
ing of strike against decision number
lat (the July l wage cut) OF this
board is q violation of that decision
The board desires to point out such
overt acts by either party tending tC
and threatening an interrution of the
transportation lines, the peaceful anC
uninterrupted operation Of which are
40 absolutely necessary to the peace
prosperity, and safety Of the entire
people, are in themselves, even wher
they do not eliminate in stoppage o.
traffic, a cause and source Of grea
injury and damage.
THE board further points out fol
the consideration of employees inter
ested that when such action has for
feited its rights and the rights of it!
members in and to the provisions anC
benefits Of all contracts theretofort
existing, and the employees so strIk
ing have voluntarily removed them
selves from tire classes entitled to ap
peal to this board for relief and pro
lection"

We hear a great deal Of talk about
the young people of the present gem
Grafton. Many people hold mp their
hands IN holy horror at the actions Of
the dreadful young persons" OF to-
dav, but we fail TO see why they are
not Just the same bundles of human
nature that we had in our own time
Most of us forget that the world
Just at present is going through a
wonderful period of change We are
learning TO deal with our thoughts
aud our emotions as realities and not
as something TO be ashamed of,
something to be kept under cover.
If it brings out a lack of self control,
at least We can fight in the open and
call things by their right names. Ii
things are carried somewhat to eX-
treme in few cases, this fever will
soon burn itself out and humanitywill
be better able 10 govern itself as a
result of the experience.
If you really study the young people
you will find them normal. healthy,
young things, just as You were at their
age, full of life but with their own
ideals and purposes. The trouble
with older people, they too frequently
forget the impulses and longiugs of
their own youth, in the judgment Of
young people.
