LONDON, March 30.-British de-

steel workers mushroom into a ma

persons and cripple Britain's $780,

Government observers kept close
watch on the strike by workers Of
the Parkhead forge of the William
Beardmore Co. at Glasgow to de-
termine whether to intervene to pre-

Skilled engineers among the Glas-

Some observers said a compromise
was envisaged in the Scottish strike
because the workers were demanding
only an increase OF cents an hour

back upon q night Of horror such as
few cities ever have experienced.
At the mercy of any major fire, the
drawn citizens saw three start during
the night and saw all three burn them
selves down to comparative control
without human hindrance.
First came the Louisville VarniSh
Works, huge structure packed with
inflammable materials, at Fourteenth
and Maple streets, deep in the flooded
water front district. Fire started there
during the day, roared up. subsidized
roared up again through the night as
flremen, unable to get their apparatus
through water that stood 10 feet Deep
ragged at their impotence. hoped only
that flaming liquids would not sweep
over the water to ignite the entire sec
ton. Damage was estimated at $780,
900.
Fire Fighting Hazardous.
The only chance firemen have to
fight blaze is in a district where the
water is not too deep for their bumpers
to get within working distance, al
though deep enough to be drawn into
hoses and poured on the flames. But
each time fire broke out the burning
structures were beyond reach.
There was an explosion. then a fire
that burned itself out quickly in a
garage, and finally the awesome spec
tacle of an entire block Of the old Illi-
nois Central Railroad, sheds lighting
the night with flame as again firemen
were held blocks away by water a
dozen feet deep near that section OF
Main and Rowan streets.
Frantic rescuers in leaking, battered
rowboats, buffeted by three days OF
evacuating thousands from upper
stories of flooded sections, rallied to
the call and started removing residents
of the poorer dwellings that nestled
Just back of the flames, but out Of the
direction Of harsh, biting easterly
wind.
Against q background of fire dozens
Of those who had stuck to their houses
could be seen clinging to the slanting
roof tops. hoplessly watching the
crimson tongues leap higher and
higher, caught between the flaming
devil and the Ohio's deep brown seas.
Across one street from the roaring
block, but separated by 10 feet Of
water, was the building of the Union
Shoe Co., q big structure, partly filled
now with mattress making materials.
For perhaps two hours the fate of all
that section of Louisville, perhaps the
entire city, seemed to hang on the

to dump minimum of 100000 cubic
