 proposed at next Tuesday afternoons
 meeting that Compensation Commis. sioncr Frederic M. Williams be told to find other quarters for himself. Tn this way, 1t is claimed. an ad- ditional court room, although 1t is small, will be added to the facilities of the cttinty building.
 At the present time the state pays the county rental for the quarters oc- cupied in the court building by Compensation Commissioner Wh- Hams. Before he established his court in the county building years ago. Commissioner Williams was located | in the Lilley building.
 There Is nothing in the law that lrequires him to be located in the court building. One or two of the other five compensation commission CTS in the state are located in pril vate offices. This would mean. mere fly, that the state would pay for the private quarters tc the person own- ing the premises instead of paying
 the present rental to the county. The court room occupied by Con- missioner Williams Is not q very large one. Nevertheless, 1t would ac- |commodate one of the judges of the court of common pleas in hand1nig
 many cases where only a handful of
 witnesses are involved.
 The majority of the New Haven county legislators are understood to favor this step rather than sanction at this time additional building. The Waterbury legislators of course, fa- vor the purchase of land and the erection of an addition on Lcaven- worth street.

CENEALOCY OF THE DAUGHTERS
 OF REVOLUTION
American Equivalent of
 Burke's Peerage and , De Brett Is Being Com-
 piled in America

washington, April 22.-(UP)- Daughters of the American Revolu- ton, meeting here in their 10th Continental Congress. are compiling the American equivalent of Burke's peerage and De Brett. In 119 bound volumes, the daughters have set down the genealogy of 119,000 mem- bers of the society. tracing the fam fly record back in each case to an authenticated name appearing on the rolls of the American Revolutionary army.
 No effort has been made to estab- fish precedence between the daugfi- ters although closely related soc ciety, Colonial Danes, admits to membership only descendants of Revolutionary officers. The distinc- lions between officer, non-commis- stoned officer and private are all contained however, in the 1t9 vol umes so far published.
 These so-called lineage books are published six times year, and 175 volumes will be required to contain the family histories of the 174,000 women now belonging to the D. A. |R. The lineage books, comprising the only comprehensive genealogical study of American families is SUD- plemented by an ancestors index which is the key by which family names may be located in the mul- ti-volume compilation of family his. tories.

I economic strain that more than 90 per cent of our people are going through"
 The United Preshs sought from Couzens the answer to this question: 'Who is responsible for that econ
 omic strain?"
 q doubt if you can say who is re-
 sponsible," lie replied. But you can say what Is responsible. 1t is
 unrestrained greed. And all who are actuated by unrestrained greed share responsibility for these condi- ditions.
 "One of the best examples of how these things come about and what Is likely to be their development is glv- en in the history of prohibition.
 "I used to be police commissioner in Detroit at the time agitation for prohibition was increasing on q na- tional scale. know l warned
 brewers and distillers and l know others warned them that unless they put their own house in order, the people would do 1t for them. The manner and method in which the people did that job is now history.
 without any more claim to pro- phetic vision now than I could have had then, can say the same thing is going to happen to capitalistic in- dustry unless 1t puts It's house in or der. I think see tendencies to- ward realization of that situation. l think there Is beginning to be some understanding of 1t and how tnevit- able 1t must be unless the capitalis- tic house Is put in order.
 But unfortunately, we have adopted the money yard stick as the measure of success. The men achiev- ing success by that yardstlck are able men. They have one-track minds. They drive toward a single objective. That objective is to make their own organization q success by the money yard stick and they think of nothing else. !.
 4.If I had not got out of the Ford Motor company at an age which would enable me to absorb some new ideas, am reasonably certain would have1feit the same way about money and success. and you must understand [ make mo complaint againgt making money Industry must make money. It does seem to me, though, that great industrial ist ought get some satisfaction out of considering the human equa- tion in his .piant--more satisfaction from that than merely from making money. sg <. .Couzens thought Lincoln Steffens made ia just estimate of the money yard stick group. Steffens as re- porter said Of big business at the turn of the century that 1t was greedy, inhumnn and cruel. But in l his autobiography just published, Steffens says most of the business lea dcrs of whom he wrote were good men. Their difficulty; Steffcns ex- piained, was that they lacked intel | ligence and information. Couzers suspects that is true. But he be- |lleves, also that industry can solve \ it's problem. " sss. {.

 "There is food for thought in the anti-capitalistic system devised by Soviet Russia. Under our laws we insist on continuing the highly com- petitive systcm--the Clayton and sherman acts lay down the policy on that question. But now our pro- duction exceeds our ability to con sume. The question therefore arises how far shall we insist on this high ly competitive system of ours?
 Are we to continue dog-eat- dog, survival of the fittest system or are we to have some regulation of competition? And of course it if obvious there can be no regulation except by government. am no, prepared to say what the future will bring. But 1t Is q question cer. tainly in need of attention.
