CHICAGO, H., May 8.-Samuel Insull collapsed as he reached the office of the United States Mar shal to be taken into custody fol- lowing his arrival on his return from Greece to face charges of fraud in connection with the col lapse of his utilities.
 A heart attack prostrated him and he was placed on cot for treatment. His son said the long walk through the crowded train shed and excitement at the station was too much for Insull.
 Physicians said Insull was in fine health during his train ride, but he walked long way after he got here and is in pretty bad shape"
 Hand Shake or Blow
 As Insull started to leave the station in an automobile. a man ran up and tried to stick his hand through the window of the car. The police escort showed the man violently sprawling to the side walk and he got up and melted into the crowd It is not known whether the man wanted to strike Insull or shake hands.
 The depot was packed with throng. Federals surrounded the train and then escorted Insull to the waiting automobile.

WATER SUPPLY REPORT GIVEN
 OUT BY MAYOR
Ten Recommendations for Improvements Made by
 C. A. Smith in Report

Ten recommendations for i'm provements to the local water sup ply systems are made in the re- port of Chester A. Smith, member of the firm of Burns & Mcdonnell Engineering Company, Kansas City who has just completed a survey of the water situation and service here. The report was received by Mayor L Goldstein yesterday
 Last night 1t was informally dis cussed with members of the Spe- cial Citizens Committee, composed of Messrs. Allen Shattuck, G. B. Rice, Wallis s. George, G. E. Krause and H. L. Faulkner, and R. F. Lewis, President of the Juneau Water Company.
 Will Call Meeting
 Copies of the report, five-page document, have been mailed to both the Juneau Water Company and the Nelson Water Company. Only one of the recommendations deals directly with the latter firm.
 Mayor Goldstein said today he would call special meeting of the City Council within a short time to discuss the report and confer with MT. Lewis on the several recom- mendations.
 Text of Recommendations
 MT. Smith summarized his re- port and recommendations for bet terments as follows:
 First. The Nelson Company should be required to provide an supply for emergencies and water shortages which occur practically every winter, accord ing to the information received in past years. The most reliable source without expense not justified by the size of the system would be a pump connection to the Juneau Water System. Other recommenda- tions by the committee as to pro- lection of mains from freezing and hydrant installation should be car ried out.
 Second The connection now being made from the Alaska-Ju- neau Hume direct to the supply main will undoubtedly increase the supply by conserving the wastage of the present methods. How much increase over the past flow is problematical as no record of wasteage is obtainable. Also this will permit the obtaining fthe full second foot of water under the 
 Third. Additional developments should be made to the springs near the Hume to obtain the maximum during cold weather pe- riods. Care should be taken how ever that in the development that the head in the supply line is not reduced sufficiently to limit it's to below 4 second feet.
 Fourth. Leaks were noted in several places on both supply lines Permanent repairs should be made to conserve such wastage IL is understood that the pipe for re- placing portion and repairing the low pressure transmission line to the Franklin reservoir is now in Juneau and such work will be done this season.

Power Strike

In the East

NEW YORK.-A strike of utility
workers which might extend to the
New England states loomed yester-
day when the Brotherhood of
Utility Employees sent telegram to
the National Labor Board demand
ing immediate action on the dis
missal of three union members by
the Brooklyn Edison Company.
The union charged that the three
workers, including James Donegan,
Ex-president of Local 103, were
fired because the company feared
that the employees belonging to the
company union would join the
Brotherhood en- mass.
The Regional Labor Board was
charged by the Brotherhood with
having disclosed confidential fig
ures to the company.
If the strike takes effect it will

by the general strike.

greater realization of the i'm
portance Of the Daily Worker-of
getting the $4,000 which it is

There are about 10000 textile
workers in our District-including
more cotton mill workers than in
any other District. Many strikes
have taken place here during the
past few months, showing the mi
litancy of the workers. 1t was
this militant attitude on the part
of the Southern workers which
contributed much to forcing the
strike vote at the convention of the
U. t. w.
"These militant workers are
looking fer such paper as the
