TO DAM NIAGARA RIVER
Waterways Experts Advocate
Plan to Raise Lake Erie Level.

Washington. June 27.-After more than
ten wears Investigation the international
Waterways Commission recommended to-
cav through the President the construc-
ton of a submerged dam, or weir, N the
Niagara River 20 raise the level Of Lake
Erie and its upper waters. The commis-
sion stated the value Of the proposed work
10 Lake Erie ports could hardly be esu-
mated. and that it would result in eX-
tcnsive Improvements TO harbors and
docks.
The cost Of the weir and consequent
works 10 avoid damage to property is esti-
mated at $4,000 The dam would raise
the level of the Niagara three feet for
distance of one and a half miles. The
commission suggested the construction OF
a levee TO prevent damage to adjoining
property. Tho commission reported that
the plan would raise the mean level OF
Lake St clair % foot and that Of Lake
Huron .O9 foot
The commission also reported that the
weir would eliminate any injurious effect
upon the Lake Erie level Of diversion OF
waters at Niagara Falls for water power.
II was pointed out that diversion Of water
to the Chicago Drainage Canal 10 the
Erie Canal and for power plant puroses
at Niagara Falls had considerably re-
duced the level Of Lake Erie.

Vote Running Against Shop by
Shop Settlement.

Paterson. y. J.. June 27.-The l. W W
leaders in charge of the Paterson silk
strike which has now been in effect for
seventeen weeks. claim victory tonight
through the defeat Of the proposed shop
by shop settlement plan upon which a
referendum vote was taken for the last
three days in the various shops. While
the returns are not all in, the l. W. W
leaders all say that tho vote so far tabu-
lated shows that the shop by shop settle
ment plan has been defeated by n margin
of nearly 1000 out OF a total vote OF about
1900
The T. W. w. leaders have made a fight
FOR the general settlement plan ever since
the inception OF the strike. The fact that
only 1900 votes were cast on the ref
erendum out Of total Of nearly 5000
on strike. is accounted for by the fact
that in many cases only 35 or 20 per cent
OF the employees in the various shops took
the trouble 10 cast ballots. while a large
number Of textile operatives have left
Paterson and secured positions elsewhere
There was a running fight between special

Friends Of District Attorney Whitman
Yesterday were inclined TO resent the at

they could not support him as candi-
date for Mayor because the Republican
organization had come out for him. They
said It was obviously impossible TO pre-
vent organizations Of various kinds from
coming out q support of man whom
they thought 20 be the best man for the
fusion nomination.
His supporters say Mr.. Whitman has
the personal assurance OF Timothy L
Woodruff that he IS now for the District
Attorney unreservedly, and that Fran
els w. Bird, Progressive chairman in New
York County, has told his friends that he
has nothing against Mr.. Whitman per-
sonally He simply does not want him
nominated solely because he is a Re-
publican, and his election would help to
revive a party that the Progressives hope
