HIGH WATERS IN EASTE R N AREA RE(EDE.
Life in Once Flood Bound Towns Goes Slowly
 Back 10 NormaI6y

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 30.- Murky flood waters receded slowly in Pennsylvania and lower New York today leaving behind de- bris-littered devastation that took at least II lives and caused prop erty and crop losses expected to ex- ceed S3,00O,OO0.
 Fed by four days of continuous spring rains, the Susduehanna and Alleghany Rivers and their tribu- tafies had boiled over Monday in the worst flood since 1886.
 Thousands were made temporar- fly homeless as the waters spilled into residential and business areas of scores of communities Today life in once bloodhound towns re- turned slowly to normalcy.
 Williamsport, Pa, and Elmira, N, r., were the two spots hit hardest by the racing waters of the Sus- quehanna, while the small com munity of Eldred, Pa, bore the  brunt of the onslaught from the muddy Alleghany. Bradford and Port Alleghany in the keystone state also dug out from the muck and mud deposited by the western river.
 High wheeled Army trucks nov ed through the streets. of Williams port today replacing the boats that had traversed the city's main streets since Tuesday. The trucks brought in supplies and helped to haul out logged merchandise from stores caught in the rush of water that at one time covered two-thirds of the city.

By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16-The Pitts.

Cool weather was making the
strike somewhat more irksome
Tenants of 384 downtown office

The company announced late last
night that the trans 'ormer which
had been wrecked early yesterday
morning by three shots from high
powered rife, had been partially re-
paired restoring it to so per cent
effectiveness. Wrecking of the trans
former brought the first "blackouts"

The fact that only IL members
voted for no union is clear in

members are union minded, u
George L. Mueller, president of the
independent union, declared after
the election we have regarded
the whole matter of the election as
a strike-breaking affair, instigated
by the company"
Although the independent union
has 5000 members. only the 1,72S

ballot. The nearly $500 others, sal

Move than one and three quarter million wo;k-
ers throughout the country are on strike. VI
these the single largest group are the lnitcd
Steel Workers (ClO). Some 750.Ooo steel
workers have left the furnaces. 1t is instructive
70 examine the background Of this strike. 1t was
evident from the start that Philip Murray, presi-
den, Of the steel workers and head OF the 1lO'
would not insist on the original demand oil a 81
,-dax increase. although the Clio had raised the
slogan Of a 30 per cent wage increase all along
the line.
Acting on the recommendation OF President
Humans fact-finding commission. the United
Steel Workers which would increase wages
1917 cents an hour. The mighty steel corpora
tons which have been offering an increase OF -
cents an hour, turned down the proposal. In
their refusal, the steel companies made no claim
regarding inability to pay.
It would have been disastrous for them to do
so. Of course, since the Office of Price Admins
tration may soon sanction an increase OF S4.OO
. ton in the price Of steel, an amount which would
add another quarter of a billion dollars 20 the
income Of the corporations.
This sum dovetails nicely with the protit flg-
ures for the stee! industry during the war years.

Tax refunds from the United States Treasury,

This tremendous concentration of wealth-in-

the monopoly position Of Y. 5. Steel and its

expect, if one had read the apologists for the
capitalist system, that steel would take this oP-
porturity Of showing its magnanimous public
spirit by yielding its workers an average wage
Of $4,000 a week.
But it is just at this point that steel. in alliance
with its brothers in profits, the auto and packing
barons. is determined to use its overwhelmingly
powerful position to crack the labor movement
and to cripple it 50 completely that it will be ren-
dered impotent for years to come.
Here is capitalism at its most blatant. 1t will
