hands of the Republican insurgent

CHICOPEE FLOODED
BYTWENTY MILLION
GALLONS OF WATER
(By Associated Press)

CHICOPEE, Mass, July 17.-Twen-
ty million gallons of water flooded a
large part of the WiIlimansett district
here early today when Langwaid's dam
and another dam at ROBERT Pond, gave
way. Residences and business places
along Chicopee street were flooded
above the first floors and occupants
were forced to flee to the second and
third floors for safety. No lives were
lost
The Boston and Maine tracks were
washed out in half dozen places.
Property loss from the flood will
be heavy. A score or more of dwell
lings were swept from their founda-
tions and many were carried a consid-
cradle distance while others were
tilted askew on their foundations.
Dozens of smaller buildings, many of
them containing livestock, were swept
away and demolished and their oc-
cupants drowned.
Water Spreads Out
A cement dam at Langwald's pond
was the first to break The released
water rushed down valley for half
mile, entering Roberts pond. The
rush of water tore out the wooden dam
at the lower end of this pond and a
high wave spread out into residen.
tial district, reaching a depth Of seven
feet in some places.
Panic reigned among residents as
they were awakened by the roar OF the
rushing water Many rushed out in
an effort to escape but were forced tc
| flee to upper stories.
The Holyoke Y. W. c. A maintained
summer camp on the shore of Lang
wald's Pond close to the outlet and the
director, Miss Baker, and several girls
were said to have spent the night
/ there Though the camp was swept
away, word was received that none o.
the girls suffered injury.
/ The tracks of the Boston and Maine
railroad paralleling the Connection
river served as a barrier and to {
large extent diverted the water away
from the larger part of the village
which lies between the tracks and the
river The tracks in some places wer,
inundated, however.

DRAFT REPLY
OF OPERATORS
TO PROPOSAL
Several Said to Have Changed
Attitude to Harding Plan
Because Of Questions Raised
by Miners.
DIFFER ON POSITION
(Ry Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Bitumin-
Gus coal operators representing asso-
citation OF employers in all the prin-
cipal producing districts of the coun-
try were here for a final meeting to-
day to formulate their response TO
President Harding's offer of arbitra-
tion to settle the existing strike. The
operators met last night but divergent
views as to what position they should
take caused an adjournment to permit
caucusing among the various district
representatives in the various districts
before trying to get an adjournment
opinion.
In addition to some disagreements
said to have been occasioned by new
points raised in the presidents letter
defining the terms of his proposal,
some of the employers were said to
have reconsidered conclusions because
Of issues raised in the letter of the
miners union declining arbitration.
Positions Favored.
Among the various positions favor
ed by the operators. one influential
group advocated before going into to-
days meeting that they accept the
arbitration offer unconditionally. Be
cause, despite what they viewed as
difficulties raised by the offer, it
would put the operators in favorable
light and attest a sympathetic atti-
tude toward the governments at
tempt to effect a settlement.
Employers of the Pittsburgh dis
trict, on the other hand, contended
that a chance of the national arbitra-
ton was impossible for them, though
district arbitration would be accept
able Again it was suggested that, in
view of the miners refusal to arbi-
trate, the employers consider that no
formal response now was required
from them and simply announce their
desire to cooperate with the govern
ment in any further endeavor.
Meanwhile the members of the gen
eral policy committee of the miners
union, for whom a meeting was called
today, apparently were being held
here by the national officers of the
union to be available to consider any
further proposals the president might
have to make.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
READY TO GRAPPLE
WITH Big PROBLEMS
CRv Associated Press)

LONDON, July 1.-THE council Of
the league of nations met in London
today for the first time in two years
to grapple with series of world prob
lens instead of dealing with details of
establishing the leagues machinery,
which was the councils chief work at
its previous meeting here. Advocates
point to this as indicating the steady
nrogress which the council has made
during the two and one half years of
its existence.
The most important subject on the
meeting is ratification of the A and
mandates, which was delayed by
Americas claim to be consulted as to
the disposal of mandates and that her
interests as one of the allied and as
sociated powers be safeguarded in the
mandatory areas.
The American agreement with Japan
regarding the Island of Yap and the
recent approval of the Palestine man
date which settled the points to which
the United States took exception, en-
able the present council meeting
which originally was intended as
session for dealing with the Palestine
mandate, to proceed with the work OF
approving of the mandates not only OF
Palestine but also OF TanganylKa ana
Kenya, East Africa and the french
colonies of Togoland, Kamerun and
Syria.
other Subjects
Other subjects for the councils con-
sideration will be the report of the
work of the temporary mixed commits
sion on reduction of ornaments, ques'
tions of reconstruction, world health
refugees and political questions which
have been under consideration since
the leagues organization.
In anticipation of long and I'M
portant session the league has trans.
ferred almost it's entire personnel and
administrative material from Geneva
1t was expected that the Earl OF
Balfour would preside but in view OF
the delicacy of the mandate question
the council held that it would be more
desirable to have neutral assume the
chair.

DETROIT, July 17-No strike can
for the 100000 members of the Main
tenance of Way Brotherhood is in
prospect before Thursday and a walk
out will not be ordered then if the
railroads desist from their reported
efforts to induce members of that
union to perform duties of striking
shop workers, according to F. F. Gable
International president of the mainten-
ance of way union.
Thursday is the date set for the
meeting of general chairmen and the
executive council of the brotherhood,
at which the labor situation as it af-
fects the maintenance of way men will
be thoroughly gone over by the union
heads
To Confer With Board
Mr.. Cradle sent out call for this
meeting today before leaving for Chi
cago, where he hopes to confer with
the railroad labor board and enlist
that body in his efforts toward end
ing the alleged practice of the rail-
roads of assigning the work of strik-
ers to shop employees belonging to his
organization.
What railroads were insisting on
shunting the strikers duties, Mr.
Cradle was not prepared to say, but he
declared he had received many pro-
tests from his men against such action
This practice, he emphasized, was
the only question likely to figure in
any immediate strike action of the
maintenance of way union, an agree
ment having been reached that the
wage question should be arbitrated
Whether the attitude of mainten.
ance of way men in the east, reported
to be opposed to delay in calling a
strike, would sway the international
president from his desire to avert a
walkout, was matter for specula
tion. Mr.. Cradle declined to com
ment on that phase of the strike situa
tion when he arrived from Washing
ton last night

The Lions and the Rotarians sat
together at the Ferris last
Thursday afternoon and had a Won
derful time, besides getting together
and tacitly agreeing to centralize
their joint and individual efforts on
a solution of the housing problem, to
the exclusion of all else until some
thing Is Accomplished.
II was a great occasion. being the
first time that these friendly rivals
had ever got together, for notwith-
standing that their paths run along
in the same general direction - the
upbuilding and improvement of this
cfty-each has taken up and acted
upon its own pet plans and specifi-
cations for making their town a bet
ter place in which to live.
But vents of the past two months
have had the effect of directing, for
a time at least, the footsteps of Lions
and Rotarians into a common path
way. that of assisting in getting some
homes built in Rawlins. We have
voted for. and will soon have. a real
winter supply and a first class system
for its distribution. We now have a
system worthy of the city, and
we need a whole lot more improve
