whirling waters which sei med bent on Its
destruction.
At 1:30 o'clock Custodian Marshall saw
out In the river, partly hidden by the
heavy ice gorge, what seemed to ! ;
house or th top of a large boat and it was
on Are. He . all- d to if the passing
object carried any human beings with it
in Its mad flight down the stream, but the
.grating and grinding of the Ice and the
roar of the waters drowned his voice. The
extreme, darkness rendered a clear riant
of the object Impossible, but whatever It
was It went at the rate of about thirty
miles an hour down the White river im
bedded In the hoge cakes of Ice and light
ing its way by its own tire.
A season of the coldest weather that In
dianapolis has known In some years, fol
lowed by a sudden aud decided thaw, caused
dana rous ice gorges that formed in White
rhrer and Fall creek yesterday mornlug.
For weeks the White river has been
lrozen from bank to bank with ice from six
to sixteen Inches in thl'-kness. Yesterday
morning the great mass of ice in the river
below the Riverside dam and on Fall creek
above the Northwestern-avenue bridge
broke up because of the sudden rise in the
water, and was carried domn the two
streams at about the same time. Great
masses of ice weighing hundreds of tons '
crashed into the Northwestern-avenue !
bridge and the bridges across the river, for
a time threatening to carry away the Fall
creek structure, the Michkran-atreet bridge
across the rler, and the Washington-street
bridge, built about a year ago to accommo
date trade across the river during the con
; t ruction of the new stone anil steel bridge.
Danger to the Northwestern-a venue
bridge subsided shortly I fare, aoenta when
the gorge broke and allowed a great mass
of ice to float away down the creek. Be
fore that time the Ice had ben heaped
cake upon cake nearly t.. the level of the
bridge floor. Contrary to ail expectations,
but little damage to the bridge was done
when the break-up came, and only a part
of the wood work that had been built unde.
the bridge to strengthen it for the passage
of the Indianapolis .v Northwestern heavy
Interurban cars was carried away.
The bridge proper remained intact, al
though weakened somewhat by the carry
ing away of a part of the supplementary
work. City cars were allowed to run over the
bridge, but for the sake of making the

who rode in them had to go to or from the
city by the Northwestern-avenue line.
ICE PILBL ON BANKS.
For some distance above the bridge i, . is.
piled on the banks of the creek where it
.was left by the .ubeiding of the water after
the break in the gorge. Cakes of Ice are
heaped against the sides of the barn that

The freeing of the gorge at the North-weetern-a

C."ase the dang-t to the river bridges, al
rcsdy great. The Teuth-street iron bridge,
because of its substantial construction, was
In comparatively no danger, but grave
fears were entertained for the Michigan
Street bridge, which is old and very weak.
Ice collected above it. extending for sev
eral hundred feet up the river, but up to a
late hour last night the bridge remained
intact.
Chief luterest. however, centered at the
Washington-street bridge, which seemed in
'tattnlnent danger of being carried away sev

LAFATSTtR, Ind.. Jan. 21. -The Wa
bash river is a. raging expanse of water at
this point, rising at the rate of two feet
an hour. Grave fears are entertained for
the safety of property in the lowlands, es
pecially below the city. Huge ealMS of
ice. broken from the george above the city,
are crashing and grinding against the
abutments of the Main-street bridge, where
they are watched by a curious crowd. The

In great danger, but at the present rate of
rising the water will be over the factory
floors by morning and work must be sus
pended, throwing 20n men out of employ
ment. Other industries are similarly situ
ated. Several small pleasure boats fnfra
swept away from their moorings this aft
ernoon. After ft o'clock the rivervrose more slowly,
but was four feet higher at midnight and
still rising. Ice gorges form and break,
making the stream wild and dangerous,
and many river men are along the banks
protecting? property. A squad of men is
working to save the steamer Tecumseh. the
wheel of which was torn off by the ice this
afternoon. Three houseboats were crushed
and swept away to-nlsht and scores of
small boats are being carried away in the
swift current. The Indianapolis & North
western Traction Company's bridge over
Wild-cat creek is in a dangerous condition.
ICE AT TER RE HAUTE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TKRKE HATTE, Ind.. Jan. 21 The hard
rain last night and to-day has been loosen
ing the ice in the rier. That it will go out
in a rush there is little doubt. The only
chance against it is for freezing weather
to set in to-night. The ice began moving
to-day lu Otter creek, which empties into
tin Wabash above the city. The Clinton
interurban bridge over the creek narrowly
missed going out. The ke piled as high as
forty feet as it approached the bridge.
So far as possible everything has been
made safe alohg the river front of the city.
The banks are high and building property
is in no danger. The houseboat population
is getting ready to move on sudden notice.
There are three bridges the Big Four, the

RIVER CLEAR Of ICE
BUT RISING RAPIDLY
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KVANPVILLE. Ind., Jan. 21 It has been
raining hard here all day and the river is
rising. The general opinion Is that a big
stag", of water will reach here in a few
days. No ice has passed here to-day from
the gorges that broke yesterday at Tell
city and Cloverport, and it is thought the
warm weather caused the lee to melt or
it sank. The Wabash river has been rising
all day and a high stage is expected. Green
river also is rising and all the side streams
of the river aie full to-night.
Considerable alarm is felt over the situ
ation at the water works here. Several
weeks ago some of the intake pipes broke.
Workmen have not ytt fully repaired the
damage and it is feared the high water will
do further injury to the plant.
It is reported that the large ajorajs extend
ing from New Alba nv to the mouth of Wolf
reeh broke this afternoon and if it should
move 'down the river intact great damage
probably will be done. Most of the local
craft are in Green river. One wharfboat
remains here. Some alarm is felt over the
safety of the towboat Gleaner and its
barges opposite Mt. Vernon. Owing to the
low stage of water during the past several
weeks the Oleaner was unable to get into
an lös harbor.
The gorge above Wolf's creek moved sev
eral miles this aftnrnoon. It is expected
the rise In th- river will bring the gorge
down the river rapidly
The rain to-day extended throughout
southern Indiana and southern Illinois, and
It Is still raining to-night, with prospt'ts
that It will continue 'alt night.

hours, and the ice gorged to-day in the St.

At 10 o'clock to-night the rain continues its

sion was hold laut night, but at the close,
of the meeting Mr. Reynolds said that the
committee had nothing to give out, as it
hail not come to a decision on the scale
to be fixed.
While no line on the rate of the wupe
scale in the competitive fields Indiana. Illi

au h ascertained, it is thought that if
the committee gives way to the desires of
the delegates and districts the scale will
embody an increase of about 10 cents n
pick mining, with a decrease in the differ
ential, while it is certain that the run-of-mlne
basis will enter into the scale. This
provides that the coal mined by the miners
shall be weighed as it is brought out Of the
mines, and not undergo the screen method,
which results In a great loss to the miner.
The scale decided upon by the committee
is of utmost importance to almost every
miner, as it is considered a basis upon
which the seales In other districts are ad
justed. Whil the operators may not agree
to the advanced scale m the joint confer
ence, the convention will Indorse it and sub
mit it. even if it acts as only au offset to
the reductions of the operators.
The committee has received a bulk of
recommendations from the different States
and districts, and will not be able to report
until to-morrow at the earliest.

THE STRIKERS' DISTRICT
E. S. McCnllough Tells of Horri
ble Destitution of Fellow-Miners
Wants Tax Raised.
One of the most eloquent speeches that
has been heard at the Mine Workers' con
vention this week, was that made yester
day afternoon by K. S. McCullough, a mem
ber of the national executive board,
who is in charge of the strike in the Mey
ersdale district of Pennsylvania, where
6,000 miners are fighting against a reduc
tion in wages. Mr. McCullough spoke on
the resolution, asking that the strike tax
levy of 26 cents a month on every miner be
increased from 10 to 25 cents. He gave a
vivid description of some of the strike
scenes existing in the region, and made a
warm appeal for more money with which
to push the strike to a successful issue.
Mr. McCullough told of the evictions that
are being made in the Meyersdale district
by the operator "They have turned the
miner and his family out of his
house into the wintry cold hills with
nothing to eat. with no money,
with no mercy," he declared. "and
were it not for the neighboring miners,
who are opening their humble cottages to
six and seven families, these evicted min
ers would die of exposure or starvation.
One Instance I remember most forciblv.
Jt was on a cold, stormy morning, when
the wind blew in a blizzard of snow. A
woman, one of the miner's wives, was
turned out of her home with a baby a
month old on her breast. Such inhuman
treatment. 1 say, is a shame, and wo
should not allow such conditions to exl.-t
when almost every miner in this hall
favors the extra tax. The operators are
trying in every way to injure us ami to
break our strike. The Merchants' Obal
Company has evicted almost eighty fam
ilies and the Somerset Coal Company has
turned out as many as twenty. We must
win the strike, and we cannot hope to do
so unless we have more money."

resolution follows:
"We. the delegates In national convention
of the l. M W. of A., view with alarm the
pouring of cheap Japanese labor into our
Western States. We believe that Americans
to-day. as in 1776. stand for independence
and the noblest manhood. The Japanese

other industries, stands for neither. The
Jap, like the Chinaman, works for who

and returns a rortion of his earnings regu

SOCIALISM IS ATTACKED
President Mitchell Once More
Takes Clear Stand Against
Politics in the Union.
LARGER STRIKE FUND
Greater Per Capita Tax Tared for
Men Out in the Meyers
dale District.
For the second time in the progress of
the convention of the Cnited Mine Workers
of America the junto of Socialist delegates,
which makes itselt evident each y'ar. at
tempted to carry measures committing the
organization to doctrines of socialism. The
effort was again unsuccessful, being ear
whehningly defeated after an hour or more
of stormy arguments, in which President
Mitchell dealt the followers of Carl Marx
some straiht-from-the-shoulder blows.
There waa animated laughter and ap
plause when the Socialists' resolutions were
turned down, for it is Bettered that their
fight is killed as far as the fifteenth an
nual convention is concerned. A member
of the resolutions committee said last night
that all the Socialist resolutions had been
presented to the convention, and unless by
special consent of the delegates no more
aould be forthcoming.
The clash between politics and unionism
consumed almost half of yesterday morn
ing's session. The day's work started off
with a pariial report of the credentials
committee seating all delegates, including
those who at first had been diso.ualirted.
Immediately following the resolutions com
mittee began Its report, and the remainder
of the day was devoted to acting on the
fortv-five resolutions presented.
The resolutions committee had proceeded
but a short time on their report when the
Socialists' resolutions were reached. They
came hot and fast and caused more or leaa
commotion and mirth to run over the en
semble. Once during the argument Presi
dent Mitchell took the floor and came forth
with his attitude towards socialism.
He said. "Men of the t'nited Mine Work
ers are trade unionists. Fach member of
this organization is abundantly ahle to
decide with which political party he shall
cast his vote. As for myself. I grant to
every American citizen the right to vote
with' anv political party and for whom
he pleases. And on the other hand. 1 deny
to anv American citizen or any body of
Americans the right to dictate for whom
and with whleh party 1 shall vote. As an
organization, we had better stick clos. to
the present plan, which is entirely free of
political entanglements. Our present suc
cess has been due to trade unionism and
not until it fails has the time come to
trv new methods."
The resolution that brought forth the
greatest storm of argument was that intro
duced bv William Howells. of Colorado.
Tt provided at the close of its long preamble
that the Cnited Mine Workers of Amerha
endeavor to bring about an International
conference of labor organizations to handle
the question of wealth produced by labor.
After manv and varied amendments to the
resolution ' and much argument pro and
con. the resolution and its amendments
and substitutes were tabled by a heavy
vote.
PER CAPITA TAX.
Th afternoon session was accompanied
by much oratory and persuasive speech
making over the question of the advisabil
ity of increasing the extra per capita tax
to be used for the strikes now supported by
tie organization. The convention was
called tOf,vther at 2 o clock and for about
fifteen minutes listened to short speeches
by Harry Sherrington, general organizer of
the Boot and Shoe Workers' International
Union, G. P. Darth. of Minneapolis. generaT
organiser of the Flour and Cereal Mill
Workers' International Union, and D. F.
O Shea, of Cripple Creek. Col., a repre
sentative of the Western Federation of
Miners. At the conclusion of the addressee
the report of the resolutions committee was
continued. The first resolution presented
was one providing that all questions per
taining to the district wage scales be taken
up separately and before adoption the vote
taken by roll call. The resolution was
killed on its weakness that such a regime,
would consume too much time. Consider
able interest was manifested in the resolu
tion that followed, which provided that an
effort be made to have Congress pass a
law having the mine Inspectors elected by
a popular vote. The resolution was
amended to read that the inspectors must
have not less than Ave years' experience.
A further amendment was made by Vice
President Lewis to the effect that the word
"people" be cut out and "mine workers"
be Inserted. It was further amended by
Delegate McElheny to Include, a well as
Inspectors, mine examining boards. The
resolution, after a warm discussion as to
its constitutionality, was finally carried.
The convention then considered a resolu
tion recommending that all agreements be
tween miners and operators be made on the
same date. It was pointed out that, under
the present custom, most of the contracts
in the Eastern districts close on March L
those in the central districts on April 1,
and those in the South and West on Sept. L
The resolution stated in its preamble that,
by having all contracts take effect and ex
pire at the snme time, the interests o" the
organliallon can be best promoted, especial
ly in cases of strikes, where, it all contracts
expire on the same date, contracts will not
be broken by the men walking out. The
resolution was introduc.i by delegates of
I District 23. An amendment was offered to
th; effect that all agreements be made at
the same time and at tne same conrerence.
The amendment was lost and the resolution
was referred to the executive board.
The question which took up the greater
part of the afternoon was that referring
to the levy of an extra tax to create a fund
with which to push the Meyersdale strike.
The resolution providing for the increase
levy was made by delegates from the Mey
ersdale regions, who fought hard to have
the question settled on the floor of the con
vention, but failed after an hour of oratorj
The resolution was referred to the execu
tive board. The resolution asked that the
delegates assembled vote that the present
strike fund be increased bv raiding the per
capita levy of 10 cents to 25 cents a month
to be used in the Meyersdale strike. The
resolution was amended to cover all strikes,
and a few minutes later a substitution was
offered that the executive board be in
structed to levy at once a per capita tax
of 25 cents to le used as a general strike
fund. The motion was lost and the resolu
tion was referred to the executive board,
as recommended by the committee.
MKE MNEY F ,K STRIKERS
The resolution brought out a great deal
of discussion on the strike question. Dele
gates from the districts in which strikes
are being fought all made an effort to have
the question of voting mere money to th ! -leaaa
Of the strikes, settled on the floor
of the convention. A resolution somewhat
similar to that from Meyersdale was read
at the morning session, relative to the
Colorado strike. The same discussion arose
as to whether it was best to refer the dis
position of strike funds to the executive
board or dedde the issue on the floor of
the convention. However, when the vote
came, the board had the confidence of the
majority, and the resolution was referred
to them.
The question of making the fJaited Mine
Workers' Journal a monthly magazine
came up towards the end of yesterday's
session. A resolution introduced by Vice
President wis making the possibility of
such a change a year heme, was carried.
The resolution provided that the executive
board be instructed to investigate the east
of publishing a monthly magazine and re
port at the next annual convention. A reso
lution was also carried which declares that
hereafter all district reports and death no
tices must in condensed in the least pos
sible space in the Journal.
Just before adjournment a resolution was
presented by Secretary Ryan, of the reso
lution committee, which asked that the
differential between machine and pick
mining be cut out altogether. Ii was re
ferred to the scale committe. During the
afu-ruoou session, au appeal for mom y
was made by the Little Bisters of the Poor,
and President Mitchell granted, them ler-

During the morning session a resolution
was adopted ordering President Mitchell
to appoint two delegates to attend the
convention of the Western Federation of
Miners with the aim of establishing friend
ly relations. Home discussion was brought
out by the resolution, in which it apjeareil
that there was a slight enmity somewhere
between the two organizations. The West

IX FAVOR OP THE PIPE
Miners Turn Down Suggest urn to
Hliminatc the Weed During
Sessions ol Convention.
If socialism does not mix well with
unionism, tobacco does. This was shown
clearly in yesterday's session when the
miners stood firmly for their pipes snd the
weed. An effort was made Iste yesterday
to hull the convention against smoking.
Nar the close of the day's session, when
great clouds of smoke dimmed the ball.
fi. M. Scott, who had become well nigh
overcome with the smoke, arose to his feet,
and made a motion that smoking be pro
hibited in the convention hall. It waa
quickly seconded by several other anti
smokers, but when President Mitchell sake I
for a vote on the question, the "noes " can
forth In thunderous accent over the "ayes."
After the motion had been lost President
Mitchell said that he thought it would be
much better for all if delegates smoked
only when they "'really had to"' while in the
convention hall.
