Stockholders Authorization Sought-Seen as Way to
 Escape Dole

stockholders of the Connecticut Power company were notified yes- terday of a meeting to be held at the company's Hartford office at 3:30 p. m. on Wednesday, Novem- Der 4, for the purpose of author izing the directors to expend sums up to $15,00O during the coming winter for unemployment relief.
 Notice of the meeting was ac- companied by letter signed by Samuel Ferguson, president of the company, in which he explains the necessity for authorizing the expenditures and stresses in parti- cular the fact that conditions make the assumption of such obligations by corporations essential to their continued prosperity.
 MT Ferguson states that unless

relief can be afforded locally 1t Is obvious that the federal congress will institute a national dole, which once effectvie, will continue in- definitely and become, as in Eng land, an unbearable burden to both individuals and corporations. while if relief comes through local sub- scription the assessment will cease at the end of the present emerg- ency and legislation accompanied with a burdensome increase in federal taxation will be averted.
 MT Ferguson also stated that the company's subsidiary corporations would probably make apprOpria- tions for the communities in which they operate in addition to the amount to be expended in the To-. calities served directly by the com pany.

The Pullman car service between
here and Monterrey. Saltiilo and
other Mexico cities, is proving q
great stimulant 10 traffic by rail
here. according to a letter from y.
II. Canales, Brownsville attorney.
who recently went to Saltillo for
his vacation.
The Brownsville Chamber OF
Commerce worked for years on
this matter. and only recently was
the Pullman service re-established
on the line from Matamoros to
Monterrey. and the schedule has
been improved considerably.
Mr.. Canales said he left Mata-
moros al $50 a. m. and arrived NJ
Monterrey at 5.35 that afternoon,
having all the comforts or a Pull
man car. He proceeded 20 Saltlllo
the same day. reaching that city
shortly after III o'clock al night.
On the return trip the train
leaves Saltillo az 5 o'clock I'm the
morning. and arrives in Matamoros
at 6 o'clock In the afternoon OF the
same day.
Previously the only Pullman SER
vice was to Laredo, and connec-
tons were not made at Monterrey
on the train coming up f-~m the

Since this has been corrected. "
