MISS WILLIAMS
DREW NO SALARY
In RELIEF WORK
THEREFORE COULD NOT GIVE
SAME AS STATED IN AR
TICLE; CONTRIBUTES, HOW
EVER, TO RELIEF WORK

One part of an article appear
ing in The Citizen Saturday rela-
tive to activities of the unemploy-
ment relief council showed that
Miss Williams gave her salary as
social service secretary to the gen
eral fund.
As a matter of truth, she has
never drawn any salary, for these
services, hence could not turn the
money into the general fund.
However, in reality, her contribu-
tions will amount TO more than
the $3.50 accredited in the report.
When it was stated by one of
the visiting officials of the state
organization that social service
secretary must be employed at a
salary of $50 monthly and mile
age allowance, the question was
asked if the state paid for this
service.
On receiving the reply that the
emoluments for the position were
to be taken from the county's al
Ilotment, Miss Williams offered her
service gratis, thereby allowing the
pay of the secretary plus the mile
age allowance to remain in the
fund to be used for the employ
ment of the needy.
Asked today if she intended TO
continue in the capacity as social
service secretary on the same bas-
is, Miss Williams replied that she
so intended.

WIDE EFFECT SEEN
IN RAIL MERGERS
Couzens Will Broaden Study
of Dependent Towns and
Workers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The indirect effects of railroad con-
solidation upon employment and de-
pendent communities, will be studied
shortly by Senate Committee together
with problems developed by expansion
of bus lines and other new forms Of
transport.
Chairman Couzens of the Interstate
Commerce Committee said today he
proposed full discussion in hearings
en- his bill for placing bus and truck
lines under Interstate Commerce Com
mission control.
Guards Workers Welfare.
He intends introducing shortly an
other bill requiring the commission, in
action on rail consolidation requests,
to take into account community in
terests such as welfare of workers at
abandoned junction points, elimination
or consolidation of shops, etc.
The bill, affecting also interstate
truck lines, is revised version of a
measure passed by the House last ses-
sion but blocked off in the Senate.
Il want the fullest hearing posi-
BILE from the public, from the bus and
truck operators and from the rail-
roads," Couzens explained.
Rates Clause Left Out.
The bus regulation bill contains at
present no rate-making provision. This
was left open, said Couzens, to de-
Velop the railroad point of view 1t
will, however, require full control of
all holding companies, whether already
in existence or created after assump-
tion of Jurisdiction by the commission.
Couzens recently withdrew from the
Senate resolution for joint congress
sional inquiry into the condition of the
railroads. This objective he expects
to have developed in the bus measure
hearings.
