TO FIGHT UNIONS
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EM-
PLOYERS IS LIKELY TO BE
FORMED.
TO MAKE WAR ON UNION LABOR
LOCAL MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK
MAY SPREAD OVER THE
COUNTRY.
WILL INVOLVE MILLIONS OF MEN
BUILDING AND ALLIED TRADES
ARE PUSHING THE MOVE-
MENT.
New York, May 15. Yesterday's
developments showed that the em
ployers in the building and allied
trades in every large city in the coun
try are now likely to join with the
Building Trades' Association of Man
hattan and the Bronx in fight all
along the line against union labor.
A national federation of employers,
who give work to millions of men, may
he formed to take concerted action
against the union and to restore confi
dence to the building industry.
The board of managers of the build
ing trades' association spent Tuesday
evening and most of yesterday arrang
ing for the meeting to be held Friday
of all the associations of employers in
Manhattan and the Bronx to arrange
plans for fighting the demands which
three or four years of prosperity has
inspired, the l.bor unions to make. So
many applications ere received from
firms outside New York and Brooklyn
that the plans were changed. To
Admit Outside Employers,
the meeting will be one of 'delegates
only. "When it is over a larger meeting
of representative employers will prob
ably be held ir one of the largest halls
in the city to lake further action.
A prominent member of the board of
managers saj
"If the meeting on Friday night is a
success, and I believe it will bo. it is
probable that a national federation of
employers will be formed to deal with
the extravagant demands of labor
unions. We have received applications
to attend the meeting from employers
in Chicago, Philadelphia. St. Louis,
Milwaukee. Boston and lmrhy orl'.er
cities which are centers of labor in
dustries. If such a national federa
tion is formed it will be an organiza
tion employing millions of men in all
branches of the building industry."

HORRORS COME TO LIGHT.
Jews of Russia Are Treated With In
credible Barbarity.
St. Petersburg. May 15.Additional
details of the Kisheneff massacre of
Jews are printed here daily. The cor
respondents give the number of vic
tims thus far buried ^n.the Jewish
cemetery a.t forty-tour,, and say that,
eighty-four persons were seriously
wounded and are still in the Jewish
hospital. The horrors reported scarce
ly bear repetition. In one instance
spikes were driven through a woman's
head into the floor, and cases of bodi
ly mutilation have been authenticated.
About 800 to 1,000 persons were ar
rested, an energetic official having
been sent from Odessa to deal with
the situation. The apathy of the local
authorities during the two days of
rapine and murder appears to have
been fully established.
CUPES CONSUMPTION.
German Physician's Remedy Proves a
Success.
Berlin, May la.The announcement
made yesterday by the Berlin Medical
society of a new remedy for consump
tion called sanosin has attracted much
attention. Dr. Danelius of Sommerfelt
read a paper on the cure before the
society. He showed that a number of
patients, mostly workingmen, had been
cured of consumption, and said they
were treated without interference with
their work. The use of sanosin pre
vents coughing, fever and night sweats
and results in the patient gaining
in weight. Even in severe cases of
consumption the progress of the dis
ease'has been arrested.. The remedy
was discovered by Dr. Robert Schnei
der.
STRENGTHEN ASIATIC FLEET.
Four Additional War Vessels Are Sent
to Admiral Evans.
Washington, May 15. Despite the
repeated statements by officials of the
state and navy departments that there
is no necessity for the strengthening
of the American Asiatic fleet on ac
count of the Manchurian trouble, it
has been pointed out here as signifi
cant that four additional war vessels
have been ordered within the last
week to join Admiral Evans' squad
ron.
Charged With Murder.
Kokomo. Ind., May 15. Warrants
were sworn out last night for the ar
rest of three young men for the mur
der of Louis Yeager last Sunday night
near the home of the latter's sweet
heart at Hemlock, near here.
Fire in Iowa Town.
Clinton. Iowa, May 15. Fire de
stroyed the main building of the Clin

and contents, valued at $22,000, are

CITY UNDER WATER
HEAVY RAINFALL FLOODS POR-
TION OF THE CITY OF
JACKSONVILLE.
PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM HOMES
HE WATER IN SOME PLACES
REACHES LEVEL OF FIRST-
STORY WINDOWS.
LOSS MAY IXCEIB $500,000
COUNTY BRIDGES CARRIED AWAY
AND MANY HOUSES ARE
DEMOLISHED.
Jacksonville. Fla., May 15.The rain
which fell Tuesday assumed yesterday
niorning about daybreak almost the
proportions'of a cloudburst, and when
the citizens prepared to leave for their
places of business, many of them
found their homes completely sur
rounded by water. Many were driven
from their residences or forced to go
to upper stories by the water that In
some cases reached the. level of the
first-story windows. In all as much as
one square mile of the town was under
water. Full half a mile of Bay street,
the principal thoroughfare of the city,
was under water, and much damage
was done to stocks of goods. The
water was two feet deep in the waiting
room of the Union depot and even
railroad track entering the city was
under water
The damage to the railroads in an'fl
near the city is msiderabie, but it is
expected it will b,^repaired in a few
hours and trains will make their regu
lar schedules to-dny.
Loss Will Be Heavy.
The city was in Jlotal darkness la.a
night. The water was a foot deep in
the ejeqtric light power house. The
railroads suffered losses probably
amounting to $100,000. The lo'sseo of
individuals cannot be accurately esti
mated. Many bridges in .the county
were washed away. The total loss
probably will not be less than $400,000
Five small houses were overturned
or demolished near the banks of
Hogan's creek, in the negro part of
the town. Many others in tin same
locality were rendered uninhabitable.
''he flood wns caused by the heavy
downpour at. Jacksonville and a few
miles north and west. T*hr:ee small
creeks flow into l.hf river- the
northwest in the limits of Jackson
ville but they spread ov gwaj por
tion of the city. The total rainf/ii' for
the twenty-tour hours amounted to 8.4
inches.
