Pittsburgh Faces Danger;
Hopes Ice Movement Will
Open Way for Coal

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 90 -- Reports
reached the weather bureau here to-
day that the Monongahela River was
rising rapidly from Farmont, W. Va.
north, and the heavy ice was moving
out. 1t was expected the ice would
reach the pools in the neighborhood
of Pittsburgh tonight and every posi-
bic precautlon against damage to river
craft was being taken. The ice is some
places is fully two feet thick and aver
ages about eighteen inches.
The news was heard with interest in
Pittsburgh. since the Monongahela has
been closed by the severe weather for
more than month and large quaint
ties of coal, badly needed by the mills
III this district, have been tied up. 1t
was estimated here this morning that
fully 100000 men will be able to re-
sumo their customary employment as
soon as the river is open.
Many reports of damage from the
Monongahela reached here to-day. A
steel barge loaded with q 900 bushels
OF coal was caught in the ice near
Brownsville. and swept down the river
and two mine tipples not far away were
knocked down.
Rivermen at Wheeling, w. Va. to-
day predicted that the ice in the Ohio
River would begin to move there to-
morrow.

ministrator Hoover, in letter to Rep
rescntatiye Anderson, OF Minnesota,
to-day made public an outline OF the

der thc difficulties imposed by high
prices and the increasing food require
mcnts of the Allies The essential ad-

that all classes and localities may

y. Control Of use of fcodstufs in

3 Control Of commodities critical

preservation of fcodstuffs. in order
to prevent great losses Of military
sacrifices
''lt appears TO me-" states Mr.. Hoo
yer. "that we should attack the non.
essential uses Of foodstuffs. and that
we should attack the points OF un.

should be able to accomplish this by
a reduction in the manufacture of con-

could substitute other things and
maintain their volume Of production.
THE recent experience with sugar
also serves to prove the necessity to
have some further powers in distribu

To Save Waste Paper
England Urges Economy in
Face of Short Supnlv

The Local Government Board in Eng
land. writes "'rhc Christian Science
Monitor" has issued a circular to mu-
nicipal bodies throughout the country
emphasizing the urgent need for a
more systematic collection of waste
paper.
The supply, it states, is seriously
short of the demand. and recent cf-
forts have not met with the response
which was desired. Mr.. Hayes Fisher,
the circular continues. wishes to i'm
press on those local authorities who
have not vet takon adequate measures
IN this matter the great Importance Of
doing so, either by themselves under
taking the regular collection Of waste
paper or by arranging that this shall
be done by voluntary bodies. unless the
ground is already sufficiently covered
by private dealers.
The measures which may be adopted
by local authorities have already been
indicated in previously issued crcu-
lars. The Royal Commission on Paper
whose address is Central House,
kingsway, London. w. C. y, will sup
ply local authorities with information
on any matters touching the col!cc-
tlon or disposal of waste paper. At
SOmc places, where arrangements do
not already exist, some public-spir ritcd
person or persons OF competence may
be available who will organize the
work of collection, either in conncc-
ton with the council or through vol
untary organizations.
Mr.. Fisher wishes at the same time,
the circular continues. to Impress upon
local authorities the national need for
other articles Of inorganic waste which
it may be found possible to collect
from households. The following arti-
clcs especially arc greatly required at
the present time for munitions and for
other purposes connected with the
prosecution of the war metal scrap,
especially iron, steel, lead, copper
brass and aluminium; also glass and
woollen or cotton articles. 1t is very
desirable that, where practicable, ar
rangcments should be made to collect
articles such as those mentioned from
households. and houscholdcrs should be
asked to give out such articles for col
lection at the same time as, but scpa-
ratcly from, the ordinary house refuse.
Where such arrangements are UNDER
taken, it is proposed that notice Of the
fact might be given to houscholdcrs
through the local newspapers

'Ihc most serious farm labor short
age last year was in the East said
Mr.. Berkman. "The industries there
filling war orders took men who other
wise would have been available for
farm work by the offer Of more at
tractivc wages. The farmers will have
to increase wages much more thar
they have to get men to come from
the cities. They have not raised
wages anywhere in proportion to their
increase in profits"
