Showers Expected
 To Bring Relief Within "A Hours

Occasional showers last night and today failed to clear the sticky weather which has been Waterbury's lot for the past sev- eral days with only brief periods of relief from the intense hu- midity.
 At noon today the thermometer in the office of the city plumbing inspector registered 80 degrees. But so far as the man on the street was concerned, 1t might just as we'll have been 98 degrees so uncomfortable was the muggy, close atmosphere.
 Showers tonight and tomorrow, says the weatherman. But where Waterbury is concerned, expe- rience shows that showers of the past weeks have not effectuated their normal relief and the pre- mature "dogs days" usual in August, this may continue indefl- nitely.

finished it will have a potential
capacity of $4,000 horsepower
and will produce 150,O0O,OOO kilo-
watt-hours annually. The construc-
ton is scheduled for completion
by the end of 1888.
While the Isonzo is being Ill
verted through the tunnel, the
construction of the dam Will DC
brought to an end. Owing to the
confguration of the ground, the ne,
lake that will result theretrom VIII
be star-shaped and constitute per
haps a unique sight in the worl .,
The lake will contain several MIL
lion cubic meters Of water.
After the dam and the reser-
voir at it's side are built, the tun-
mel will cease to function as a
conveyor, and the Isonzo will be
defIected into the lake. From here
the water will pour through the
dams locks into the pipes, or ar
tificial fall, and be conveyed to
the electric plant. Later the tun-
mel will be used for an electric
railroad.
FIVE FALLS TO BE MADE
At the same time five falls, in
masonry or concrete, will be con-
structed at different points along
the Isonzo's course from the lake
to the Adriatic Sea. These falls
will feed an equal number of
plants. The most important will
be built near Gorilla, to be fin
ished in 1889.
The total yearly power poten-
TALLY of these five plants will be
180,000,000 horsepower and $780,
100000 kilowatt-hours.
This power will be used for the
electrifcation of the railroad net
work in the entire Julian Venetia
region, for the operation of the
Arsa coal mines, in the lstrian
peninsula, whose exploitation was
started recently. and in the large
shipyards at Monfaicone, near
Trieste, where a big part Of the
present Italian war fleet has been
and is being built.
Part of the water discharged
from the electric plants will be
used for irrigation purpose in the
upper Erjuli, section of the Ju
liam Venetia.

ITALIAN RIVER
TO CIVEPOWER
white Coal" From Isonzo
Will End Buying of
Fuel Abroad
BY FRANCISCO REA
United Press Staff Correspondent

| ROME. Jan. %. (UP).-In pur-
suance of Premier Mussolini's self
sufficiency program, giant strides
are being quietly made in exploit
ing Italy's "whitc COAL" thus free
ing the country from the necessity
of buying foreign, and especially
English, anthracite and coke.
So far little has been said about
the huge works under construc-
ton to use the water of the lson-
20 river (the famous watercourse
which saw so many battles and
bloodshed during the World war,
as source of electric power. 1t
was only recently, on the occasion
of the completion of small part
of these works, tunnel, that the
details of the program were made
public.
PROGRAM BASED
ON FIVE POINTS
This program, roughly, includes
the following works: =,
Temporary DETECTION OF the
course of the Isonzo.
Construction of an underground
tunnel by means of which the
river will be conveyed to power
house over an artificial fall.
Construction of huge dam in
tended to form lake as perma-
nent reservoir for the river.
Building of five additional falls.
Construction of another reser-
voir alongside the lake to regulate
the excess volume of the Isonzo.
Of these works only the tunnel
has been completed so far. 1t is
"a feet high, SO wide, $4,000 feet
long. The water will run through
it at a rate of 100 cubic meters
per minute.
The Isonzo's course will be de-
Elected at the point where the
Idria river, one of its tributaries,
joins it. It's water will flow into
the tunnel and then be conveyed
down large sharply inclined pipes
into big plant where it will set
turbines in motion and thus gen.
crate electric power.
TO BE COMPLETED

NLRB VOIDS AFL
SHOP CONTRACT

QNS). The National Labor
Relations Board invalidated the
closed shop contract between the
National Electric Products Com
pany, of Ambridge, Pa. and an
AFL union because of coercion"
Chairman Madden of the board in
formed a House Appropriations
subcommittee.
Madden, however, denied that
the board "set aside" an order Of
the Federal District Court which
ordered the company to carry out
its CLOSED shop" contract.
"It was a case where the en-
ployer had coerced membership
in the American Federation Of
Labor union, and the board
found that was the fact" said
Madden.
Madden said the company made
very feeble defense"
He also said that the Federal
District Court would not have
granted the injunction if Is atten.
ton had been called to the real
situation. He pointed out that the
Circuit Court of Appeals refused
to stay the boards order, thus
showing that the court recognized

The President seems to be writ
ing the music as he goes along.
If he has definite conclusion
he has kept it from his various
leaders and callers who have dis
cussed the subject with him. In
fact, trustworthy inside informa-
ton is available that there is no
plan.
THE cue music itself seems to
L have changed key lately.
The Jackson-Ickes note was not
followed through. In the Jack
son Day battle hymn. the PreSi-
dent, you may have noticed, in
vited anyone who has plan to
drop in to see him sometime.
The inside story of what has
happened to date is told by a
trusted authority as follows:
The Jackson-Ickes howl was
to have opened the way for a
series of echoes. The Justice
Department was supposed to
come along with immediate
recommendations for antitrust
law revision. The Federal Trade
Commission was to report the
price situation was so bad a
congressional investi 6 alton
would be necessary. The inveS-
tigation was to have been
started.
But the JackSo n-Ickes
speeches did not go over very
well. Even some of the Presi-
dents best friends told him that.
. Word of the prospective inveS-
tigation leaked out.
Backfire developed. Senator
Borah, originator of the anti
monopoly issue, spoke out
against that course. He said if
half what jackson and IckeS
claimed was really true, no in
vestigation was ssary.
While Rorah is hardly a White
House adviser, his views on this
issue have furnished some indi-
rect guidance in the past.
This threw the music back
to the prelude again. Mr.. r

RIGGLES FLAYS
POWER RATES

An attack on the high rates
charged residents of nearby Mary
land by the Consolidated Gas and
Electric Company for electric
power was made today by John
Riggles, president of seabrook
(Md.) Citizens Association and
chairman of the Maryland FEEDER
alton of Citizens Associations pub
lie utilities committee.
Riggles charged the Consoli-
dated generates power at a cost
of approximately seven mills per
kilowatt hours and charges Mary
land residents 6.5 cents per kilo-
watt hour. He termed unjust
and unfair" the practice of the
Consolidated, in selling this
same current to the Potomac
Electric Power Company, of
Washington, D. c., for less than
three mills per XVIII, which COM
pany charges its consumers three
cents for this current"
He recommended the local Pub
lie Utilities Commission to inquire
into these practices, adding:
THE Potomac Company sells
current to a Southern Mary
land utility company for half
cent per XVIII, which uses
streets and roads belonging to
the people and charges them
Is cents per XVIII, for that
same current"
