STATE RIVERS
REQUIRE STUDY
Legislature Will Be Asked to
Investigate Streams
NEED FOR REGULATION

The next session of the legislature
of Pennsylvania will be asked to take
definite steps toward the establish.
ment of adequate plans for the regu-
lation of rivers for the combined OBJ
jects of flood prevention, aid to navi
CATION, improved water supply and
the development of water power
Consideration of this subject Is now
being given by communities affected
by floods and the result of this work
will be incorporated into bill which
will be introduced in the legislature
next January.
In the Pittsburgh district COM
prehensiye survey and study Of the
watersheds OF the Monongahela and
Allegheny rivers has been made in
conjunction with the State Water
Supply Commission, and this has de-
veloped system of treatment for
these rivers and the Ohio which has
been approved by some of the ablest
engineers Of the country, including
those connected with the war depart
ment at Washington, who have
charge Of all government river work
in the country. 1t is generally &C
cepted that tho treatment proposed
for the regulation Of rivers in West.
ern Pennsylvania can applied with
equally good results to the streams
In other parts OF the state.
The plan proposed for the Pitts
bu-gh situation is in effect the con-
struction Of II safely built reservoirs
at the headwaters of the Mononga-
hela and Allegheny rivers and their
tributaries. The purpose of the
reservoirs is to hold back the flood
waters in times of freshets, the
stored water to be released at times
of drought to aid in navigation, and
for other beneficial purposes. Those
engaged in this investigation discov-
cred after five years of active study
that floods are increasing in volume
and frequency while the periods of
drought are becoming more numerous
was, heretofore, their aim to ameli-
crate both conditions and this they
claim they can do by the construc-
ton and operation of the reservoirs.
The field studies made by several
corps of competent men under the
personal supervision of public spir-
tied Pittsburgh engineers developed
the fact that natural reservoir sites
actually exist whose combined ca
pacity is sufficient to prevent the
highest food known to Pittsburgh by
retarding the freshets and that the
same stored waters would materially
assist in maintaining a continuous
navigable stage from Pittsburgh to
Cairo the year round.
Many other sections of Pennsylva-
mia have food and low water troubles
which would more than likely be re-
lieved IL the same plan that is pro-
posed for the rivers at Pittsburgh
were adapted to these streams. 1t is
the intention of those interested at
Pittsburgh to consider the river reg
ulation problem as applied to the en-
tire state before causing any new leg
islation to be introduced at Harris
burg

LABOR AND DEMOCRACY.
By Clio Harper.


 "Woodrow Wilson is the friend of labor,"
 Charles Evans Hughes is not a friend of labor"
 This is the ground upon which labor leaders declare they will ma terially add to the chances of Demo- cratic success in November, and as sist in retaining the Democratic ad- ministration.
 W. D. Jackson, deputy President of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men of the United States and Can ada, returned Saturday from visit of forty days in the North and East in the interest of organized labor. He attended the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis as the per sonal representative of w. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood.
 Mir. Jackson is enthusiastic over the prospects of Democratic victory. He will be active in the national cam paign in behalf of the candidate who has consistently been the friend of organized labor, anu says that the l36,000 men whom he represents will swing into line almost to a man.
 MT. Jackson, formerly an employe of the Iron Mountain in Argenta, and now high in the national councils of the Brotherhood, calls attention to the fact that the Arkansas Legisla- ture is the first to enact a full-crew law. Soon afterward Woodrow Will son, then governor of New Jersey, in a special message to the Legislature of that state, urged the passage of a bill that was a verbatim copy of the Arkansas statute. In keeping with the habi. which legislative bodies have acquired when dealing with the New Jersey school master, the bill be- came law, and was signed by Gov. Wilson.

OF GOSPEL
 WOULD FIGHT OR PRAY

Washington, June 22.-A minister of the gospel who will either fight or pray, in whichever capacity he is most needed in time of war, has of ferei his services to Major General George Barnett, commandant of the United States Marine Corps. He is Reverend Ferdinand F. Schultz, pas tor of the Church of Christ Disciples, Chillicothe, Ohio, practical engineer as we'll as minister.

The New York assembly passed the same act, and it was promptly vetoed by Gov, Hughes, who is now the Re- publican nominee for the Presidency.
 "When that fact is known" said MT. Jackson, Judge Hughes will not |get the support of the organized rail- road vote of the country, It is al ready pretty we'll known, but it is to be our purpose to see that everybody knows it. We shall support and work for the election of the man who has at all times been the consistent friend of labor.
 There are many other things in the record of President Wilson that will make the. laboring man friendly to him. Just to mention one of them. Trouble was threatened in the Pan anna Zone over the employment of aliens on the railroad A delegation, of whom l had the honor of being one, waited upon President Wilson. and laid before him the facts, and pointed out the dangers. He listened most attentively, and assured us that the infoImation we had given him was most valuable. In a very short time the alien laborers were displaced by Americans. He is decisive and firm, just and impartial, and that is why we like him and propose to see that he is reelected"
 MT. Jackson appeared before the Committee on Platform of the Ma tional Convention in St. Louis, in op- position to the workmen's compen- sation act which was advocated by President Samuel Gompers of the Federation of Labor, and able econo- mists from Yale. Harvard and others. Mir. Gompers and his associates advo- cated general act to apply to labor CTS in all industries. Mr. Jackson op- posed the application of the principle to railroad employees, contending that 1t would deprive them of the right of trial by jury, which is considered more desirable than the proposed law. He declared that the order he repre- sents had no objection to its applica- tion to forms of industry other than the railroads. Many of the delega- tions had been instructed in favor of workmen's compensation plank. The Arkansas delegation was among them, having voted in caucus to in- struct it's member of the Platform Committee, Jerry South, to support plank demanding such a law. But MT. Jackson's arguments prevailed over those of Mir. Gompers and his associates. to the extent that the platform contains mo plank favoring 'workmer's compensation, except as applied to federal employees.
 It is still an open question, how ever, and member of the Arkansas delegation declared subsequently, that 1t is as certain to come as national woman suffrage and national prohibit tion, which are as certain as the dawning of tomorrow's sun. Between the two extremes must lie a golden mean, which, when discovered, will solve the problem to the satisfaction of both the employer and the em- ployed. In the meantime, other in- dustries are making fight for ade- quate workmen's compensation acts, while the railroad men contend that they will fare better if their claims are referred to the judgment of juries.

Ottawa, May l5.-New York fnanciers

largely in the fuse inquiry, which was
resumed this afternoon.
Politicians are to-day discussing Mr..
Carvclls admission in the House Of
Commons that he went to New York and
consulted William Travers Jerome and
others.
"You cannot divert attention from
Allison and the part he played in the
million-dollar diyvy," said Mr.. Carvell,
"by throwing dust in the eyes OF the
people: you cannot thus shield the man
who practically pilfered quarter Of
million dollars from the people OF
Canada"
Newspapers here tonight hint at
sensational developments yet to come
as result of New York probes: 1t
was learned to-day that when Colonel
J. Wesley Allison takes the stand in
the fuse inquiry he will be asked about
the accuracy Of B. F. Yoakum's testi-
mony on Friday as to the arrangement
for division of commission on the fuse
contract.
Yoakum testified that they we're TO
split the s475,OO0. Yoakum's share Of
the 100000 was originally divided
among Yoakum Bassick and Caldwell.
Out OF Yoakum's share, it was stated,
Craven was to get $4,000 and $4,000
was for expenses. OF the remaining
$4,000 Yoakum and Allison, it was
said, were to receive 100000 each.

100000 was S275,0O0 and CadwelPs
