NEW ENGLAND RAILWAYS
 REFUSED A 12 MILLION DOLLAR GIFT, IS CLAIM
By Associated Press

Washing ton, january 2S.-NeW England railroads were offered, but refused a gift, of 100000 from trunk line ex- iecutives to protect the formers credit. told today by w. H. Williams, chairman Iof the Wabash railroad. testfying at hearings on redivsion of joint freight rates between carriers east and west of the Hudson river. MT. Williams said the New England carriers turned down the offer on the grounds that it would mot meet their needs.
 MT Williams said that he with Pres lidents Req of the Pennsylvania and Mahr iof the Norfolk and Western, representing 8 the lipes west of the Hudson river, hao Iconferred with Presidents Pearson of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and Hustin of the Boston and Maine, with an idea of affecting an immediate settlement of the differences The con- iferences, he testified, were held with a view of giving the lines for one year ,i2, 900 900 in the hope they could arrange lin other ways thereafter to finance the yearly deficit shown on the books. The stipulation was made by the trunk lines, he said, that the gift would have to be approved by the interstate commerce tcommissicn. Another stipulation, he said, was that the gift would not impair the rights of the trunk lines to fight the ap- Eplication of the New England carriers for a redvision of rates.
 The meeting of trunk line executives in New York to discuss the New England 1 situation has been set for Tuesday aft ernoon, it was stated today. Various proposals to pool the interests of the trunk lines and other ways of settling the case pending before the federal commis- lsion will be discussed.

RELIEF CAMPAIGN IS. LAUNCHED IN ENSLEy
Chairmen and Team Workers for Drive Appointed at Rep-
 reSentative Meeting

The launching of the campaign for funds for the starving children of Europe for the western district of the city at a. Fnsiey yesterday afternoon was one of the most representative meetings ever held in the Ensley district.
 The court room was filled and many were standing in the doors when the meeting was called to order by Sam C.. King, general chairman for the district. MT. Ramsey, the state chairman, was I0etained in Selma in the cause of the relief work and a number of Birming- ham workers presented the cause to the HSnsley gathering.
 Rev. l.. F.. Brubaker opened the meet ing with prayer, after which Mir. King talked of the cause and suggested that offering instead of a drive, so that the people might show their appreciation for this land of plenty.
 Dr. J. A. McSporran next spoke and said that the man who would not re- spond to this cause was man with 8 'cross-eyed mind, in that he couldn't see anything that was not near to him.
 The master words, Feed My Lambs" applied nearer to the starving children of Europe than probably anytime since the command was given. He urged that the men see this thing in broad way"
 J. Inouncement of the situation was suffi- Icient cause for the workers to work and the givers to give and 1t was a time when every man would show his color.
 Jack W. Adams, chairman for Jeffer- son county, explained the order of the work and MT. King announced the fol- lowing appointments: Ensley chairman, lC c. Burke Fairfield chairman, c. N. IGilley; Wylam chairman, John F. Nolan; Pratt City chairman, s. T. Key. Mrs. iC. Boterweg was made general publicity chairman, with Clyde Ennis of Fairfield, Mrs Rieviere of Wylam, Mrs. Charles IHassler of Pratt City, and Mrs. Floelie Bonner of Ensley as assistants. Henry IG. Sanders was appointed chairman CT the four-minute speakers for the picture houses and Prof. E. F. Smith chairman Iof the school workers.
 MT. Burkes captains are: Team No. l, Simon GoIdstein team No. ?. J. E.. Lindsay; team No. 3, J. c. Barrett; team No. 4, J. H. Perkins.
 The residential section was divided into two parts for the women workers North Iof Tuxedo Junction including Ensley proper will have Mrs. Joe Smith as chair man, and south of Tuxedo, including lEnsley Highlands and Fairview, Mrs. Louis Mackenzie will be In charge. The assistants will be selected by the various lchairmen.
 The keynote of the situation was struck by Karl Iandgrebe and R. A. Brown when they said that the money spent for the starving children of Europe would be spent for the future generations of America.
 The children who are being starved now will be the future immigrants of America and unless saved now will re- tard the progress of America in the next 10 or 20 years.
