Possible (By the Associated Press) Chicago, June 12—While additional wage cuts threatened to slash anoth- er $40,000,000 from the payrolls of the carriers it was rumored today any rail strike growing out of present threats may be directed and financed from Canada to evade the decision of the United States supreme court holding unions liable for damages caused by their members. Leaders of the rail unions said to be contemplating the move viewed the establishment of Canadian head- quarters as legittmate because the unions are international organizations. (Financial penalties in case of a walk- out could thus be averted, it was said, Increase Slash The expected wage reduction order will increase the slash in railway workers’ wages to approximately $150,000,,000 a year. Clerks, signal men, stationary firemen oilers and marine department employes will join the shopmen and maintenance of way employes as victims of the new cut, Strike ballots to the 400,000 rail- way shopmen were accompanied by the following letter: “Every possible effort should be made to obtain the vote of every em- ploye eligible, This ballot will be completed as soon as possible and there must be no stop of work.

A. it Is His Duty to See Bank is Man- aged According to I. V. A. The issue of political banking has again been raised in a campaign. For three years anti-league speak- ers attacked political banking at the Bank of North Dakota; the league} speakers now are charging the pres-! ent anti-league administration with political banking, and H. L. Stegner, gubernatorial candidate, declares | there will be political banking as} long as the bank is maintained. Charges were made recently by C. W. Reichert, president of the Equity Packing Plant of Fargo, to the effect that the present Industrial Commis- sion promised a loan to the company, that Theodore: Nelson, I. V, A. mana- ger, demanded as a_ consideration that Senator John. Miklethun, mem- ber of the board of directors, with- draw as a candidate for the state sen- ate and that when Miklethun would not do so the loan was refused. Nelson Admits Request Theodore Nelson, in a statement, admits that he did demand that Mik- lethun withdraw. He asserts he fur- ther demanded that the whole board of directors resign. “My suggestion was that Mr. Mik- lethun should withdraw and then that some I. V.

DAMAGE TO RUN INTO MANY MILLIONS ‘ New York, June 12.—(By the A. P.)—The death toll of the brief but terrific hurricane that swooped down on the metropolitan areas late yesterday passed the sixty mark today with indications that the total number of dead might go much higher. The death list leaped ahead when an incoming tide returned 18 more bodies that had been swept out to sea last night. Four more bodies were recovered at Hunters Island and two were re- ported to have been picked up at Travers Island. City Island—haven for Sunday pleasure seekers and amateur fishermen—was the hardest hit point in the metropolitan area but casualties, mostly by drowning were reported from many other points. The beach at City Island today presented a deso- late spectacle. Several hundred persons—relatives of the miss- ing—worn by hysteria, waited in little groups among the wreck- age on the sand for some word of the fate of their loved ones. ’ Marine squad police, exhausted by their all night vigil, con- tinued their cruise, keeping a sharp lookout for additional bodies. The full toll: of the storm may not be known for days, if ever. The crowds that thronged City Island yesterday, were drawn from all parts of the metropolitan district and probably numbered many persons from distant points. . Ferris Wheel Wrecked Next to the tragedy at City Island the most serious result of the storm was the wrecking of a ferris wheel at Classon Point Park in the Bronx. Seven merrymakers were killed and nearly thirty were injured. Paul Simon, owner of wheel was arrested on a charge of homicide and two investigatons were got under way to fix respon- sibility for the accident. The Hudson and Harlem rivers claimed their toll of canoe and small boats victims also, while six persons were killed by the fall of trees uprooted by the gale. Storm Lasts 15 Minutes All the damage was wrought in less than a quarter of an- hour. The New York weather bureau reports the storm lasted officially but five minutes. It was described as “a severe thunder squall,” during which the wind averaged 72 miles an hour. There was a brief period when the wind velocity touched 88 miles an hour and it was at this time it is believed, that most of. the dam- age was done. : New York, he? une, 12. — Daybreak this morning found hun- docks of the City Island, awaiting the arrival of police boats. which during the hours of darkness had searched the waters of Long Island Sound for additional victims of yesterday's terrific storm. Powerful search-lights played over the water as the ghastly quest went on but the swift tide apparently had. borne away the bodies not recovered last night, and early today the police re- ported that the list of known dead had not been augmented. — More than fifty persons were thought to have lost their lives and upwards of 100 were injured in the tempest, which roared out of the hills of northern New Jersey, beat the Hudson into |foam-capped breakers, swept across New York City and then seemed to settle on City Island and its vicinity. is Police boats which spent the night searching the waters of Long Island Sound off City Island reported this morning that no more victims of yesterday’s terrific storm could be found. | They said, however, the tide had probably carried away the bodies not recovered last night. The list of dead stood at more than forty. In the whole metropolitan district fifty-seven persons met death in the storm; damage running above $1,000,000 was done and more than 100 persons injured.

They came and ar. rested the man on East Rosser street, near Fifteenth.

The rescue work started immediately, but darkness and the panic stricken crowds hindered the labors of the volunteer life savera. Property damage estimated at from $1,000,000 to several times that amount was done by the tornado. The storm followed a day of intense heat and was as sudden as it was vio- lent. Low hanging clouds across the Hudson river were observed, but they seemed to be far away and danger was unforseen. Then like magic the sky darkened, the clouds seemed to dip toward the earth and before the frightened people could reach places of safety the wind came. Direct Path of Hurricane. Clason’s Point, a pleasure ground near City Island, was in the direct path of the hurricane. A ferris wheel heavily freighted with children and young, people had just begun to re- volve with its passengers when the 88 miles an hour wind struck it, So sudden was the transition from a bright June sky into inky clouds that the men in charge of the wheel could not stop it and discharge the people in the cars before the top of the wheol was torn away and the remainder crashed to the ground, a tangled mass of steel, Dozens Buried. Dozens were buried in the wreck.
