Workers’ Scale Body Will Select Seventh Member to Negotiate Pay. Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 24.—The full Scale Committee of the United Mine Workers of America met in executive session today to select a seventh mem ber of its Negotiating Committee to attempt to write a new wage agree ment with anthracite operators. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, presided at the Informal meeting of 60 union officials, representing the three anthracite dis trict organizations and the national organization. The operators have designated a committee of seven, headed by Maj. W. W. Inglis of Scranton, to represent them in the negotiations, and six have been designated by the union. Lewis heads the union committee. Under the rules of the union, any agreement effected by the subscale committee must be submitted to the entire membership for approval or rejection. Both sides agreed informally that the principal points of contention in seeking an agreement to supplant the one expiring at midnight March 31 were: A substantial increase in the wage scale affecting all rates. A six-hour day and a five-day week. Equalization of working time. A complete check-off system. The representatives of management have not disclosed their attitude toward these demands, but have indi cated they will oppose any increase in the costs oi production. Miners now have an eight-hour day, eix-day week. With scores oi collieries closed, the union has proposed the idle collieries be opened to provide unemployed miners in those districts with a means of livelihood Operators have contended this would tend to increase the cost of produc tion at a time when they insist the industry must find means to compete with lower-priced iueis. Floods (Continued Prom First Page.) break ice jams, but Capt. H. B. Loper, United States Army engineer in the Nebraska district, said it was impossible to break up huge floes with dynamite. Told to Leave Homes. Farmers in Ohio River bottom lands below Henderson, Ky„ were warned today to evacuate homes in the path of an upstreanf ice gorge which threatened to break momentarily and unloose a destructive mass of jagged ice cakes. River men predicted the stream would reach a 48-foot stage, 1 foot higher than the 1927 flood level, at Dam 48. 4 miles below here, if the gorge above here broke before one damming the water downstream Tfinvpri nut The girges stood fast today as the river slowly spread out into low lands near Evansville. Ind., and Hen derson. Uniontownship, in Vander burg County, Indiana, was under water, but all the families had been evacuated safely. Several thousand acres on the Kentucky side were in undated. Ice Floes Snap Trees. Heavy damage to lowland farms w-as predicted if the ice floes, which have snapped off trees along the banks, broke from the channel. Its river intake pipe choked by ice, the water plant at Morganfield, Ky., continued to dole out water to the city. Lack of water pressure hampered fire men yesterday in fighting fires, which caused $5,000 damage at two homes. A giant gorge in the Upper Ohio Valley, near Beaver, Pa., held and valley dwellers hoped that moderating temperatures would permit the ice to move without damage. Greater con cern was felt in the Allegheny River Valley, where the ice was frozen for a distance of 253 miles without a sign of breaking up. Michigan reported the flood situa tion was not considered immediately dangerous, but many cities and towns were raising dikes and clearing river beds in anticipation of flood stages. Sacramento River Rises. For a distance of 100 miles the Water-burdened Sacramento River, in California, was from 1 to 7 miles wide, covering rich farm lands and orchards. Agricultural losses alone were unoffi cially estimated at nearly $1,000,000. At least 300 persons were marooned at Lake Tahoe in the high Sierra Nevada by what old residents de scribed as the worst blizzard on rec ord. The Dormer Summer Highway was blocked by snow. Four persons drowned. One death from exposure was reported and two were killed in a motor car accident on a flooded highway. Almost two weeks of incessant rain sent the Sacramento and its tributaries far beyond normal levels. Breaking levees forced families near Stockton and Oakdale to flee from their homes. Sacramento City thwarted inunda tion by opening all the 48 flood gates in the River Weir to divert the flow Into Yolo by-pass. The diversion flooded 10,000 acres of land on Liberty, Prospect and Little Holland Islands. Between Orange Blossom Colony and Riverbank, 25,000 acres of land Were under water. MORE SNOW IN CASCADES. »**V »t>uvwwwu 4. A w ao* SEATTLE, February 24. — Fresh snows added to the danger of further slides today after an avalanche roared down Snoqualmie Pass Saturday, taking three lives and burying more than 20 motor cars under tons of snow. Guards kept close watch on the mountain sides above the pass today while workers dug at huge drifts in search of possible additional victims. ._ ADVERTISEMENT._ For Skin-Itching, Millions Praise Zemo Zemo relieves the itching of Rashes and Ringworm—soothes the irrita tion of Eczema, Pimples and similar skin ailments.

The camp will have facilities for 125 children and will be operated for three months each Summer. The new camp will replace the health camp which heretofore has been maintained at Thirteenth and Upshur streets. That camp had a capacity for only 60 children. When completed the camp will be maintained and operated by the Dis trict Tuberculosis Association, just as the old camp has been conducted.

Seeking Unrestricted Right for Military Ma neuvers if! Zone. Further discussion of the United States’ demand for unrestricted right to carry out military maneuvers In Panama, disputed point in negotiations of a treaty to replace the 1903 pact, was scheduled today between Sumner Welles, Assistant Secretary of State in charge of Latln-Amerlcan affairs, who has been directing the treaty talks for the United States, and Ricardo Alfaro, Panamanian Minister. . Hope for an early agreement on the treaty was voiced by high State De partment officials after two years of conversations, which commenced when Panama’s dissatisfaction with the ex isting document was climaxed by its i rrefusal of the United States’ payment of the annual canal rental of $250,000 in currency other than gold. The 1903 treaty called for gold, but this country claimed abrogation of the gold pay ment contract clause which accom panied dollar devalutlon made impos sible further gold payment. Panama rejected also the 1935 check on the ground it would suffer a loss through payment other than in gold. It is understood authoritatively, how ever, that this point has been settled to the satisfaction of both nations. In responsible quarters, it was as serted that virtually all points in the proposed treaty now had been agreed upon except the request that no limits be placed on United States military units in the Canal Zone in carrying out maneuvers. This proposal was described In Panama as an “obscure point with reference to sovereignty of national territories.” Well Informed circles here said this point did not necessarily threaten the negotiations because both sides have shown a disposition to arrive at a sat isfactory solution. Whether the United ■ States might finally modify its re , quest in a manner acceptable to Panama was not indicated. 1 The 1903 treaty gave the United ’ States the right to “construct, main | tain and defend” the Panama Canal. 1 Since that waterway was completed . the Panama government has claimed that some of the treaty provisions have infringed on its sovereignty with regard to property rights. HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS PANAMA, Republic of Panama, February 34 WP).—A sudden hitch in negotiations for a treaty between the United States and Panama, which had been virtually ready for signature this week, was disclosed yesterday. Jose Isaac Fabrega, foreign minis ter of Panama, in an Official state ment, said the deliberations were set baek because of a request by the United States that no limits be placed on its military organisations garri soned in the Canal Zone to carry out maneuvers in Panama’s territory. Unconfirmed reports said the Min ister to Washington had been in structed to withdraw from negotia tions if a satisfactory settlement on this point is not reached. Farm (Continued From First Page.)
