SWOLLEN RIVER
CARRIES DOWN
MUCH DEBRIS
Crest of High Water Expected
by Nightfall; No Dan
ger of Flood

Swollen waters of the Susquehan-
ma river to-day carried large quanti-
ties of drift wood, many small out
buildings. dead animals and other
materials down stream. Little dam
age has been reported in and about
Harrisburg.
Rising almost five feet within
twenty-four hours, the river this
morning topped the concrete steps
along the river front, the mark
reached at s o'clock being twelve
feet above low water mark.
Th river was rising slowly at that
time, Forecaster L. r. Demain an
nounced. Indications are, he said,
that the crest of the freshet will be
reached during the early afternoon
and that the water will start to re-
cede before evening 1t is not be-
lieved by Mr.. Domain that the water
will go above the twelve and one
half or thirteen foot mark.
There is no danger of a flood in
this section, Mr.. Domain says, the
flood stage at Harrisburg being sew
enteen feet. The nearest approach to
the flood stage has been reported
from Williamsport. The carcass of a
COW was swept down stream yester-

ENGINEERS ARE
EXAMINING CITY'S
BIG WATER MAINS
J. w. Ledoux Again Called in
as Consulting
Exert

To determine whether it will be
necessary to move the two thirty
inch water mains in State street,
from Tenth to Thirteenth streets,
because of the proposed construction
of the new memorial bridge and to
report on the best place to lay new
mains should it be decided to move
the old ones, j. w. Ledoux, of Phil
adelphia, water supply engineer, ar
rived in the city shortly before noon
for conferences with city officials.
Mr.. LedouX was secured by Coun-
Gil in January, 1918, during the seri-
GUS water shortage here while one
of the steam pumping engines was
out of service for repairs. Later he
was retained to furnish new
method of water rate charges and
upon his recommendation the pres
ent system was started
During the afternoon Mr.. LedouX
with City Engineer Nj. b. Cowden
and other officials went over the sup
ply system in the city, spending part
of the time in State street where the
new bridge is to be built.
Later he will report to Council
his recommendations and the cost
of any changes which will be neces-
sary.

ITALIANS AGAIN
SCORE WILSON'S
ADRIATIC STAND
Messaggero Says President Is
Obstinately Obdurate
Regarding Fiume
By Associated Press.

Rome, May 12.-The discomfort of
the people is again growing because
of news from Paris that Italy is not
likely to get what she claims on the
eastern shore of the Adriatic. The
Messaggero says:
President Wilson is obstinately
obdurate in his views regarding
Fiume, showing that he has not
changed his mind"
Other reasons for dissatisfaction
are the Anglo Franco American al
lance, from which Italy was eX-
cluded; the asserted project that the
former Austrian merchant marine
will be divided among the Allies. al
though it is held it belongs entirely
to Italian firms; the clause in the
treaty with Germany saying the
three principal powers were suf-
ficient to ratify the treaty, thus, it is
alleged, again excluding Italy. and
the reported scheme to place Ethio-
pia under the protection of France.
All the newspapers of Rome pub
lish adverse comments on these sub
jectS.

WOULD SHORTEN
HOURS TO KEEP
MEN AT WORK
State Machinists Meet Here in
Advance of the State
Federation
OFFICERS REELECTED
Plans Made For Keeping Mem
bers Constantly at
Work

Declaring that the reduction of
working forces during times of in
dustrial depression works a hard
ship on men laid off, the Pennsylva-
mia convention of the international
Association of Machinists to-day
went on record as favoring the re-
duction ia the number of hours
rather than a reduction of the num-
ber of employees. The meeting is
being held in G. A. r. Hall, 26
North Third street.
The machinists compose the ad-
vance guard of the delegates who
tomorrow will open the annual ses-
sion of the State Federation of La
Dor.
The resolution on employment
follows:
Whereas, The reduction of the
working force during periods of de-
preston in industry works great
hardship to the men who are laid
off and, therefore be it
Resolved, That when the neces-
sity for curtailment of production
arises in any industry that the hours
of labor by day and week shall be
reduced rather than any reduction
be made in the working force, and
further be it
Resolved, That the State Lodge
of Machinists in convention assem-
bled recomme end to the State FEEDER
alton of Labor that the reduction
of hours be advocated as a national
industrial policy to promote equal
opportunity for constant employ
ment of all industrial workers and
that the State Federation recon-
mend this policy to the A. F. of l..
convention"
Oppose Longer Term
The association went on record
as being greatly opposed to House
Bill 1918, now on the postponed
calendar of the House of Represent
atives, which would extent the
terms of commissioners in third
class cities until January 1, 1922
and which would abolish council
manic elections in third-class cities
in 1919.
"War" Declared
War was declared on the Inter-
national Association of Supervisory
Foremen. A resolution was passed
to the effect:
"That the State Lodge of Machin-
lists recommend to all railroad
lodges that no recognition to dual
union under the name of the Inter
national Association of Supervisory
Foremen, and that we recommend
to the State Federation of Labor
that all crafts affected by this or
ganization likewise refuse recog-
milton as the interests of these men
are entirely protected by the various
organizations of the railroad en-
ployes in the A. F. and L."
Plans to aid in keeping members
in employment were considered by
the association to-day. They went
on record as favoring the devising
