To Be Confined "Under the program of strict dis cipline which we have now, they won't escape again," Ragen said.

"They'll be put in Solitary confine ment for 21 days. Then they'll take their places in the regular prison routine. We'll take the same kind of precautions for them as we do for 6,000 other prisoners. They'll receive no special treatment." Ragen, who was Stateville war den the lata Governor Henry Horner, returned to the post Octo ber 2 in an administrative shake- up resulting from the prison break.

YOUNG LEADER OF MINERS IS B0ARDMEMBER Marion Pellegrini Defeats Veteran Adam Yecko as Representative of District Official results of the balloting in the District No. 5 election held December by the United Mine Workers show that Marion Pelle- grinia member and former mine committeeman of Local Union 1724 of Midland, No. 1, has succeeded in defeating Adam Yecko the in cumbent for the office of District Executive Board member in Sub District No. 2.

Pellegini's victory did not come as a surprise to his many friends throughout the various local unions wasningion county. Worked and Went to School He first joined the mine workers union during the year of 1926 at the teen age of 16. Since then he has played an im portant part in many of the miners' demands and appeals. His education was achieved by working in the mines by night and attending school by day. In the recent miners' election campaign he was one of the tew candidates for district office who was bitterly opposed to the re-election of Pat Fagan for district president and spent three weeks campaigning among the rank and file of the mine worker union ask ing for their support for the elec- sharp drop of the stream which carries the water off swiftly.

It started to recede in outlying areas at 7 o'clock this morning. Reports from the Citizens Water Company pump station indicated that approximately three inches of rainfall has been recorded since Sunday night and up to this morning the rain continued to fall and the streams to expand. Both the big reservoirs of the company are full and excess water is flooding over the spillways. East Pike Street Affected The most seriously affected here are the residents or the fcust rise street lowland between the railroad crossing and the Weavertown bridge. Members of the borough council and John Yarkowski, superintend dent of streets, have been keeping an hourly check on water conditions in the borough.

Yarkowski had a large force of men on the job all through the night and all morning today handling emergency matters. The huge six-inch pump in the sewer sump at the weavertown bridge has been working constantly for 36 hours boosting the egress of water from sewers. Huge ramps at Work In addition two additional cen trifugal pumps were furnished the borough by P. L. Byers, superin tendent of the Whittaker Construc tion Company, which is installing the coast-to-coast pipe line in this section.

Called upon last night for aid, Mr. Byers placed the entire equipment of the company at the disposal of the borough and the two pumps were installed at the sewer sump and have been working since that time. These pumps are used to boost the outpour from the storm sewers so as to prevent the waste from the sanitary sewers from backing up into home outlets. In the past this sanitary waste would back up into basements in the lower East End section and create a health menace when the water recedes. Up to now the pumps have kept all water from backing up in the home outlets and all that has got into the basements has been seepage through walls and foundations.

It is the biggest test the borough has been put to in this respect and the idea is proving itself successful. Flooded on South Side At Central and Jefferson avenues, where water backs up through the sewers and manholes, the streets have been flooded since last night and automobile and pedestrian traffic has been considerably inconvenienced. Patrons of the early morning trains to Pittsburgh, found it necessary to to get to the railway station, while many of the more daring autoists attempted to go through the water only to get stuck when the mechanism of the automobiles became soaked. It was necessary to tow manyiof them out of the dips. At the intersection of Pike and College, at the Weavertown bridge there was over, two feet of water in the street at one time this morning.

Whole Area Flooded Throughout the Houston, Mea-dowlands. McConnell's Mills sec tions the water was unusually high and toward McConnell's Mills the highway was flooded at several points. This went down early this morning however. At noon Chartiers creek in the city, was showing a slight recession. In the mining settlement of the old Buffalo mine in East Canonsburg, a number of the low houses were flooded.

Fort Pitt is Affected At the Fort Pitt Bridge Works, where the construction yards are comparatively low, the water has flooded some sections and in the construction shops has come through the floor in many places causing a cessation of Borne of the vital war production work and necessitating the moving of some of the large motors. It was comparatively stationary at 10 o'clock this morning and may have reached its peak at that time. Seville Island Shuts Down Local men working at the Neville Island plant of the Dravo Company were sent home this morning due to the rising river and the uncertainty of highway travel as well as in the docks at the plant. A skeleton crew was kept on the job for some essential work but the major personnel was dismissed to get off the island before the river rose any higher. They are excused from work until Friday morning, by which time it is expected that the river will have receded.
