WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-
Former Rep. Asbury T. Lever, au-
thor Of the Lever control act which
Federal Judge A. p. Anderson of
Indianapolis held is outrageously Vi
oIated by the miners strike. declar-
ed today that the decision rendered
by Judge Anderson is a correct in

Lever also said that congress un-

ditions made abnormal by the war

the following statement:
Fuel Necessity.
The original draft Of the food
and fuel control bill which bears my
name contained no reference what
soever to fuel The idea occurred
TO me while the bill was under con
sideration that all industries of the
country and especially transporta-
tion depended absolutely on a con-
tinous supply of fuel On my sug-
gestion and motion fuel was includ-
ed in the definition Of necessities,
along with food. and in the bill it
was treated as Of equal importance
in the prosecution Of the war and the
support Of our army and navy

The section Of the act upon
which the court has relied in deal
ing with the coal strike was vigor-
ously assailed on the floor OF the
house by certain Representatives pur-
porting 70 speak the mind OF organ
lied labor throughout the country.
1 could not conceive at the time,
nor do believe now, that any body
of American citizens desired TO be
exempt from the provisions Of an
act which made IL criminal to limit
the production either Of food or fuel,
the two vital necessities Of life.
II resisted the attempt TO strike
this provision from the act. Ny re-
sistance was successful. because the
provision was so just as to admit OF
no dispute and in addition 20 this

ninistrauOn support and endorse

PART IF AGUA FR|A
 HIGHWAY BRIDGE
 GOES OUT IN FLOOD


 Between $5OOOO and $6O,0OO will be required to repair the damage done Thanksgiving Day by the raging Agua Fria flood to the state highway bridge over the river about F miles west of the city. This estimate was made yes terday by State Engineer Thomas Maddock after he had visited the scene of the damage, accompanied by party from his department.
 While the highway bridge over the Agua Fria was not washed out, the approaches on each side were broken in two places and one part of the bridge, 200-foot concrete structure, was de- stroyed, representing by itsfelf loss of about $20,000. The approaches on either side were as badly damaged about 25,000 cubic meet of earth being washed away altogether
 As a result of the flood, yesterdays s inspection proved, the Agua F'ria has changed it's course until little of the stream is now flowing under the bridge. A gap of 800 feet now stands between the end of the bridge, where the con crete portion was swept away, and the bank, in the place formerly spanned by the 22-foot section of ths struc- ture.
 In case this entire 500-fOot gap is bridged in repairing the structure, the cost will greatly exceed that of the s20.00O section of the bridge washed away.
 Work on repairing the bridge will start soon, and inspection and perlim- mary work will be started Monday by large force of men. It has not ye. been decided whether the new course of the river will be bridged or whether an attempt will be made to force the stream back into the old channel under the bridge. However, the construction of a brush dam up the river to force the water into the old course under the structure is being considered
 At least thousand feet of track was lost by the Arizona Eastern when its bridge near the state highway structure was swept away by the flood. No word has been received by the state highway department as to the Antelope creek bridge, but it is known that all false work on the Cottonwood 1 bridge over the Verde has been de- stroyed. The extent of injury to the 1 foundation of this bridge has not yet been determined. i.
 It was reported yesterday that the Oatman road is out on the Kingma~ side, as a result of the flood.
