FLOODS MENACE IN TWO PLACES New England, Mid-west | Affected ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 5.—High| waters resulting from two days rain} and snowstorm again menaced the Central Mississippi Valley today. Weather Bureau officials forecast a stage of 33 feet, three feet above | flood, at St. Louis and corresponding levels throughout the district from Alton, Ill, to New Madrid, Mo., be- ginning Saturday at Alton and finally extending far to the south by the end of next week, Little damage was expected how- ever. The rapid melting of the four to six inch snow in Missouri, Ar- kansas and Northeastern Oklahoma and intermittent rains throughout \the district sent rivers rising again, just as they were lowering to below flood levels from the floods of two weeks ago. * * BOSTON, Mass., May 5.—While 'no deaths were known to have oc- curred in the New Hampshire floods, one man, Patrick Washburn of | Kidderville, was reported missing to- day after his home had been de- |stroyed at that village. He leaped to a telephone and called his daugh- ter, a telephone operator in Cole- brook, “Run for your life, the dam is out,” he warned her. Then in the middle of a sentence, the connection was broken, After the flood waters had sub- sided, no trace of Washburn could be | found, Besides the several dwellings carried away at Colebrook, many other homes were undermined or | otherwise damaged.

A particularly big increase has |been registered in the exports of |benzine and lubricating oils. The |export of benzine amounted to 412,- 000 tons, against 286,000 tons, while that of lubricating oils reached 110,- 000 tons, compared with 85,000 tons | for the same period last year.

Thus the Russian Oil Products, the Soviet oil distributing organization in England, sold 110,- Turkey, against 50,000 (000 tons of benzine, compared with 40,000 tons for the same period last year. It is believed in the Naphtha Syn- dicate that the present negotiations for the regulation of the relations betweer: the world oil trusts and the creation of an oil export combine, now in progress in the United States, will unquestionably stimu- late the interest for Soviet oil, par- ticularly in the European countries which do not possess oi! resources of their own. Women Workers in U. S. S. R. Are New Being Transferred to a Seven-Hour Day, Struggle Jointly With All Workers to Introduce the Seven-Hour Day! Chicago Carpenter Union Fakers In CHICAGO, May 5.—The labor misleaders in charge of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners Union in Chicago, tools of the corrupt Hutcheson machine are attempting to force thru an agree- ment with the bosses which will mean wage cuts and worsening of conditions for the carpenters. This is the second time this in- famous agreement has been put for- ward, it having been defeated by the rank and file before, The progres- sive forces led in defeating it. The gold brick clause of this agreement is Section 7, Paragraph 15, which involves a wage cut. It reads: “The Joint Arbitration Board fail to agree upon the wages to be paid in this trade 120 days prior to the expiration of the wage «agreement during the term of this agreement, the matter shall be re- ferred to the wage board ap- pointed by the Joint Conference Board and said wage board shall within thirty days after such i : Managers in cach store jshares, SCHRAFFT WORKER, ,dozen homes in Belmont, N.

I must also add that work- ers who failed to attend the meet- ing above mentioned were fined $2 |in_cash. I think the above is a true pic- ture of right wing “leadership.” N. Y. DRESS WORKER.

But the_ 6-day, 40-hour week is kept. If the carpenters do not vote this agree- ment down, it will set the building trades workers back five years in their fight for shorter hours, (ex- cept the painters and plasterers, who have won this). The progressives are mobilizing to defeat this agreement for the A dodger denouncing this sell-out has been issued. All carpenters should vote against this agreement, the progressives point out. They urge the voting out of office of Charles Sands and Thomas Flynn, the reactionary secretary and president of the Chicago District Council, who helped put over the ex- pulsion of Niels Kjar and George Leach, progressive leaders, _ a second time. \ \leno, Billy McLaurin, and the two |female boxers, Emma Maitland and |rent,” written, directed and produced | Percy Parfitt, Theatre Is Disappointmen MESS N’ AROUND,” at the Hud- a Theatre, with an all-Negro cast, is a disappointment. Instead lof portraying Negro life as it actu- ally it spends the major part of |the evening in imitating the whites. The few scenes which do not at- tempt to be smart are the best, especially the singing of Spirituals, by a female trio. The best bet, however, is an ac- tual four-round boxing match be- |tween the only two licensed women boxers in America.

The only | one who is noteworthy to that ex- tent in the present production is James (Slim) Thompson, who is a fairly good comedian, but neverthe- less has not got “it.” As to the dancing, it is rather mild. There is no plot to the play. At} least, for that we can be thankful. The opening scene is Lenox Ave. | and 135th St. From there we visit a fortune teller, then the Mississippi River, a carnival and the final scene, a Harlem night club, While none of the songs wi set fairly good. They are “Get Away From My Window,” “Shout On,” “Skiddle De Scow” and the theme song (if we can call it that) “Mes- sin’ Around.” Members of the cast, in addition to Mr. Thompson, include Sterling | Grant, Cora La Redd, Hilda Per- Aurelia Wheeldin. Someone in the lobby during the intermission said that the play is a “mess,” making a pun out of its name. It is not quite as terrible as that, but, without a doubt, it could be much better.
