CITY MAY BE FACING
 ANOTHER WATER FAMINE
Council Holds Special Sessions to Solve Problem; New Plan Lead
 ing to Better Situation.

For some weeks the city council, which some months ago took over the operation of the city water plant, has been struggling for solution of the water situation and facing what might easily develope into a water famine They have been holding many night sessions, listening to the reports of the local superintendent, w. H. All exander, and have gone into the con- ference with Geo. Law, engineer and local manager of the Commonwealth Public Service Company, which com pany has the contract for the city pumping, It seems that the light company is doing the pumping for $1O0 per month as minimum plus the amount of water used ill it's own business. It is represented that now the company's ice plant is running the amount of water used by the company equals or exceeds that used by tue en- tire city. The wells at present, ac- cordjng to a statement fom MT. Alex ander, are barely delivering enough water to keep a safe margin in the tanks for fire protection. As the sum mer approaches and the consumption of water increases the pumps would fall behind with the work and the town would face famine that would Il nctC e n case of fire, It is further stated that mains have to be flushed, and in so doing the tank and reservoir would be shortly emptied, the town left with out fire protection, which would take days, if possible at all, to regain. It is further said that the pumps are run down, the working barrels worn until they are not delivering water at but fraction of their capacity. They are under great strain as if deliver ing the full amount of water. The operating department reports that re- pair bills on the pumps amount to something like $175 per month, and that with other expenses all the funds received for water rentals are exhaust ed with nothing left to make needed improvements of a permanent nature. With the plant rapidly depreciating the situation to the council seems very serious.

What If the Farmers Should Strike?
 It Would Cause Suffering and Hunger

Washington, Feb 12.-Denial that any group of organized workers pos sesses an inherent right to strike is contained in a memorial to congress, formulated today at a conference here of representatives of four large farm CTS organizations, the National Grange the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Cotton States Board and the As- sociation of State Farmers Union Presidents
 In view of recent events and hap penings," representatives of the four organizations said it was agreed that the attitude of the farmer membership of their associations on the right to strike should be made plain to con- gress and to the country.
 Pointing out that the city popu- latiOn of the country is dependent. on the farmer for food and that interrup- tion of this supply can be brought about through strikes of railroad or other transportation unions, the me- morial asserts:
 Those who believe that labor has an inherent right to organize a strike, believe that such organi- zations have a right to starve the people of the cities to death, on the one hand, and to destroy the pro- perty of the farmers on the other. No such right has ever existed and no Snch right exists nnM It is ecnnnmi-

No set of men has ever had the moral or legal right to destroy pro- perty or cause suhering by conspir ing to gether and the welfare of all the people must remain superior to that of any class or group of people.
 What would be the verdict of the people of the farmers of the United States should suddenly decide to go Oil strike and refuse to supply the wants and needs of those who are not in a position to produce food and clothing for themselves? They would be condemned from one end of the country to the other and the fact would be pointed out that they, as the owners and tillers of the land, had no right, either moral Or legal, to bring about such calamity. If the farmers who own and occupy the land, have no such moral or legal right, then why should it be conceded by any one that those who handle the farmers pro- ducts have right to block the trans portation or industrial facilities of the country and thus jeopardiZe the food and clothing supply of the nation.
