Floods on Upper Ohio Subsiding
Stationary nearly
and Louisville, Cincinnati Record Being About
20 Feet and Louisvilles as Feet

The floods il the Ohio Valley. due
TO the heavy rains falling as late as
Thursday, the 18th, have been the
most disastrous during the week in
the history of the country. Hitherto
the chief damage has been done a
long the Ohio, but the floods of the
past week have been unique in that
the upper water courses and tribu-
taries of the Ohio have done the most
damage. And il is worthy of note that
Ohio and Indiana. states practically
devoid Of forests, have been the chief
sufferers.
At present the waters in the tib-
utaries have subsidized and the Ohio
is endeavoring TO carry off the bur
den of the floods. and the cities and
towns along its banks are now the
sufferers, and week later and thru
out most of the present month. the
Mississippi will likely be a terror to
the people within many miles of its
banks.
The cities in Ohio hardest struck
by the floods are Dayton, Columbus,
Hamilton. Miamisburg, Tilfin, Chilli
cothe. Middletown, Fremont, Piqul,
Harrison, Troy, Valley Junction,
GAINESVILLE, Masslon and Cleves and
the destruction OF life estimat d at
nearly four hundred.
In Indiana. Peru, Brookyille, Fort
Wayne and Terre Haute Were The
chief sufferers, with a death list Of
fifty.
II will be noted that the first re.
ports were greatly exaggerated and
necessarily so because OF the terroriz-
ing nature of the floods which made
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1913-04-03

communication impossible, whole sec
tons OF cities being submerged and
the inhabitants being marooned in
the upper stories OF buildings and
garrets. lnasmuch as many houses
were absolutely washed away and
hundreds of bodies We're seen in the
muddy waters, eye witnesses from
distance concluded that thousands and
even ten thousands of others were
lost. While the loss is comparatively
small, considered in the light of the
first figures, 1t is appalling and can
not be estimated by the death list
alone. There are literally thousands
upon thousands OF people homel SIS
and penniless. Months and even years
will not suffice for the rebuilding Of
their homes and fortunes, though
states and the ration and hundreds
OF generous individuals have come TO
their rescue.
The property loss is so far without
definite estimate. IL will certainly not
fall below a hundred millions, and BE-
fore the flood subsidies in the Ohio
and the Mississippi it may pass tn
billion mark.
The disaster, viewed from the stand
point of traffic, would seem TO have
struck the very vitals of the nation,
having put out of commission the
chief railroad lines between the east
and the west. Passenger traffic BE-
tween Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati
and the east was practically suspend
ed for nearly week, even the mails
and Topographic communication.

Nullifies Canal Rebate

Washington, Nov. 11-Attorney
General McReynolds has decided that
the subsection of the new tariff law
authorizing discount of 5 per cent on
all goods imported on American ves-
sells is nullified by its proviso that
nothing in this subsection shall be
so construed as to abrogate or in any
manner impair or affect the provis-
ions of any treaty concluded between
the United States and any foreign
nation.
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
department made public the attorney
generals opinion today and announc-
ed that in accordance with it, collec-
tors of customs would disregard the
subsection as they had been instruct
ed to do on October 8. Entries held
up pending the decision now will be
iquidated, leaving importers who in
sist upon the 5 per cent discount tc
protest, with the right of finally car
rying the question to the court of
customs appeals.
This ends, for the present at least
the long drawn out discussion over
he proposed differential duty provis-
ion, the subject of much debate in
congress while the tariff bill was un-
der consideration.

RAILROADS AND
EMPLOYEES CONFER
(By United Press Associations)

(By United Press Associations
Chicago, Nov. 11.-Wage scales, af-
fecting 250,0OO men employed on the
siXty-seven trunk railroads west of
Chicago, were to be fixed when repre-
sentatives of the three big organiza-
tions of employees and the Railroad
Chairman's Association met here to-
day in conference that may be pro-
longed for many weeks. Without ex-
ception the men will demand increased
wages, shorter working hours in many
instances, and improved working con-
ditions. The representatives of the
roads publicly announced that if the
present wage scale is to be altered at
all, they will demand that wages be
lowered.
Preliminary to the big conference,
sixty representatives of the Brother
hood of Railroad Conductors, headed
by President A. B. Garretson, have
been in Chicago for two weeks, at
tempting to agree upon a definite
wage program to be submitted to the
representatives of the roads. During
the same period the railroad chairmen
have been in almost daily conferences,
preparing to meet the demands of the
men. With the arrival here of Presi-
dent Warren S. Stone, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Enginemen and
Firemen, and representatives of that
organization, the stage was all set for
the big battle. The enginemen and
firemen are expected to come to
formal agreement upon their demands
Imperial Valley press., 1913-11-11

within a few days, and then appoint
subcommittee to confer with sub
committees already appointed by the
other two organizations. While the
nature of the demand to be made upon
the railway chairmen by these three
subcommittee will not be known un-
til they have met in conference, it is
understood that the men will demand
an increase of wages averaging from
5 to 7 per cent, strict enforcement Of
the federal hours of service act, short
er hours on many runs, and enforce
ment of the full crew law in those
states where such legislation has been
enacted. The men will argue for in
creased wages on the ground that the
increased cost of living has not been
met with wage increases in the past,
and that, because of superior trans
portation facilities, each individual
employe is now contributing more to
the profits Of the railroads than at
any time in the past. The railway
chairmen are expected to argue in re-
ply that legislative enactments have
decreased their profits to such an ex-
tent that they are not able to meet the
demand for the increase. The three
organizations represented at the con-
ference have a combined membership
of about 100000, but the wage scales
to be evolved from the meeting will
affect not only these but at least 1OO,-
900 more railway employees, accord
ing to union officials, who work as
helpers.
Present contracts, made by the or
ganizations with the individual roads,
will begin expiring this month and
will have all expired early next year.
Employees of certain of the roads are
backing movement for "consolidat-
ed contracts" They want the Order
of Railway Conductors, for instance,
to sign one contract, to which all
roads are parties, instead of signing
contract with each individual road.
This movement has the opposition of
not only the railway chairmen, but al
so of large share of the men, and is
not likely to succeed.

DON'T LET YOUR HAIR
SPOIL YOUR GOOD LOOKS

Take the right care Of your hair
and instead of spelling your good
looks, it will improve them. You can't
beautify your hair with barettes, rib
bons and such things. Knick-knacks
make homely hair look even worse
because the contrast shows off it's ug-
liness to greater effect.
If you want beautiful hair-soft
silky, lustrous and glossy-use Har-
mony Hair Beautifier, dainty, liquid
hair dressing. Use it also if you want
your hair to go into place-in wavy
graceful fashion-more easily, and
stay where you put it. 1t overcomes
the unpleasant, oily odor with de-
lightful rose fragrance. Very easy
to apply-simply sprinkle a little on
your hair each time before brushing
it. Contains no oil; will not change
color of hair, nor darken gray hair.
To keep hair and scalp dandruff-
free and clean, use Harmony Sham
poo. This pure liquid shampoo gives
an instantaneous rich lather that i'm
mediately penetrates to every part of
hair and scalp, insuring quick, thor
ough cleansing. Washed off just as
quickly, the entire operation takes
only a few moments. Contains moth
ing that can harm the hair; leaves
no harshness or stickiness-just a
sweet cleanliness.
Both preparations come in odd
shaped, very ornamental bottles, with
sprinkler tops. Harmony Hair Beau
