The Golf Lots was turned into a raging river today. From Water town avenue to Thomaston avenue the area was entirely flooded. The velocity ot the river was increased many times over and tie West Main street bridge was given 8 se- were test as to It's strength.
 The Naugatuck river was up to it's highest point in almost ten years, the last serious flood resulting in the destruction of the old Freight street bridge.
 North Riverside Buried
 TrafIIc along North Riverside was halted due to the fact that the ri- yer backed up between Summit and Bank streets. South Leonard street busses we're forced to detour through Summit street to North Leonard street to Bank street. Motor trafilc was entirely cut of except for this dctour, also.
 Several feet of water gathered under the railroad crossing at Bank and Riverside streets also cutting off the Brooklyn section from the center of the city by direct route. No trolley service over Bank street was possible and trolleys along that street were forced to turn back at the corner of Meadow and Bank streets. The water backed down Bank street almost to the gate of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine company. Several hun dred high school students from Brooklyn were stranded and were forced to remain away from school. Incidentally, the absent list at the high schools today was the greatest in many years. due to the flood con- ditions.
 The water on Bank street came out from Jackson street. The A. Fl. Wells company on Browns Meadows was flooded and huge crew of men were at work throughout the night and early morning hours pumping surface water from the service plant of the Connecticut Light and Power company on Freight street, along

 London, March 12--CUPJ-Dele- gates of Locarno treaty powers, as- sembled to decide action on Ger manys reoccupation of the Rhine- land, intend to ask postponement of a League council meeting in order to gain further time for consulta- ton on a compromise, 1t was under stood today.
 The League meeting was set for Saturday. Postponment will be asked until Monday or Tuesday, 1t was said. The council will be asked to approve any action agreed on by
 Not only would the postponment give time for agreement among the Locarno powers themselves--wide- ly separated on their views of pro- per action--but to sound out Ger many.
 May Appeal To Hitler
 It was believed the powers might make joint representations to Ber- lin, to find whether Fuehrer Adolf Hitler would agree to withdraw part if not all of his troops as sym boil" and agree not to fortify Ger inAnys western frontier.
 It was believed that the cabinet, at a meeting this morning, agreed to support French demands at least to the extent of asking Germany to show good faith by a withdrawal symbolic of good faith or complete.
 British Anxious
 The plan for postponement of the council meeting was ascribed unoffi- cially to the British, who were be- lieved eager to achieve agreement among the Locarno powers before the council meeting. It was indi- cated that majority of the council members would support France in it's argument that Germany has pa- tently violated the Locarno and Versailles treaties.
 Determined to keep Europe out of war, the cabinet at it's meeting sought every means of compromise. It was hoped that part support of France might dissuade her from de- manding penalties against Germany and give time for compromises that would bring Germany into full consultation.

 demands which they previously had called Impossible" and raised no objection to another conference this afternoon. But they reduced the union victory to naught by refusing to agree to reinstate strikers.
 Breach That Separates
 "Ill burn in Hades before I'll sign a settlement that says the men and women that struck are to have a chance at what they demanded, but arc to have no jobs in which to en- joy it," said James J. Bambricls, local union president. William D. Rawlins, executive secretary of the realty ad- visory board, took the position that board members had assured new em- ployes, whom he refused to call strike breakers, that their jobs were per- manent. We have our promises to respect" he said. Fourteen hours Of discussion achieved nothing but va- riations of the two arguments. May or Fiorello II. La Guardia presided over the conference from 3 D. m.
  yesterday, when it convened fin city hall. until 1:40 Q. m., when he left to take train to Washington.
 Demands of Strikers
 Demands for which elevator oper- ators. janitors, engineers, scrubwom- en, bell hops, switchboard operators and other building service workers struck are g week wage increase, 48-hour week, and a closed shop. They have abandoned demands for the closed shop. Pickets continued their parades up and down Broad way, Wall Street. Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue and before hundreds of buildings throughout Manhattan. Bronx and Brooklyn boroughs while their leaders snatched few winks of sleep. Police estimated that 2.5OO buildings were affected.

1t was shown that the Goodyear
Company concealed the prices at
which it was selling tires to Sears
Roebuck and Company from its own
sales organization. The price dis
elimination resulted in driving out
OF business a large number of retail
tire dealers and this reduction in the
number Of Independent tire dealers
in turn drove out of business num-
erous small tire merchants. The
natural result of tendencies of this
nature is to result in absolute mon
opoIy. 1t is the existences of such
practices that the Patman- Robinson
bill is aimed.
The only point in the bill which
, occasioned any great amount of de-
bate was the so-caIled "basing point
provision. This provision would
have required shippers to base their
price on F.. o. B. basis and to charge
price equal to that charged by
shippers in other localities plus the
freight or transportation charges in
Cured in conveying the goods to the
buyer.
This would result in inequalities
between manufacturers in different
locations and would give advantage
to those located in the East near the
large consuming circles. 1t would
have had an adverse effect on the
price of Minnesota dairy products
sold in the East.
This provision was eliminated be-
fore the bill passed.
