 Two hours after the strike began General Manager Fred s. Nolan of the railway department was report ed to have met with Edward Mc- Inery, president of the strikers union. Mayor Richard w. Readin was in constant touch with the sit- uation by telephone. Conference Today
 A conference between DSR off, cials and union representatives broke up early this morning after the city had threatened to discharge all strikers unless the Walkout was ended by 2 p. m. Union leaders call ed a meeting for 10 a. m. to consider the ultimatum.
 Thoroughfares were lined with overalled and white-collared hitch mixers" who thumbed and begged rides to factories and offices.
 Mass transport of workers to the vast Rive Rouge plant of the Ford Motor company, the steel mills along the Detroit river, and to automo- bile factories in every section of the city was paralyzed. Unaware of Strike
 Most early morning workers were unaware of the strike when they left their homes in sub-freezing weather. Later crowds gathered at intersections seeking taxis and free rides. Busses ran inquently, and were loaded like cattle cars before they had travelled half way to the city.
 | Taxi companies called their night drivers into service. Some ran vir- tual jitney service, picking Up seven or eight passengers in load.
 Seventy-two police patrol cars were on duty, many of them idling along behind buses 's unofficial es- corts. There was no disorder, how ever. Most persons, whether they walked to work or found other means of transportation, took the inconvenience good-naturedly.

 Pickets surrounding the various a stiff wind and freezing tempera- car barns before daybreak bucked perature. They were mainly in a jovial mood, clapping their hands and stamping their feet to keep warm.
 Employers perforce relaxed lon time" rules. Residents of suburbs served by separate transportation systems-normally the commuters pitied by Detroiters because of their long trips to and from work, today were the only ones certain of ride to the city.

Taber, R., N. Y, minority member of the committee.
 Taber raised the point of order against a section giving MT. Roose- welt authority to transfer lundS as well as powers and personnel under the general reorganization plan. This, Taber contended, represent an appropriation power. The clause could not remain in the bill since the measure was re- ported by the special committee on reorganization and only the house appropriations committee may re- port measures dealing with fiscal powers.
 Rep. John w. Mccormack, D., Tex, presiding over the House as chairman of the committee of the whole, sustained the point of order. Cochran immediately offered an amendment-apparently an attempt to put the same section back in the bill in valid form.
 But before it could be read O'Con- nor offered his preferential motion to strike out the enacting clause.

 Miss Elizabeth McGivney, of 6 Nelson avenue, private secretary tC Daniel J. Leary when he was con- troller, was apparently the chiei witness of the Waterbury extror- dinary grand jury this morning Until noon no new witnesses hao been called. Today's list included only witnesses on recall from yes- terday's schedule.
 Included were: Martin J. Dunn Ralph Devino, Joseph McMahon and Thomas Fleming, superinten- dent of streets.
 All entered the courthouse just after 10 o'clock, and with the ex- ception of Miss McGivney were ex- cuSed within an hour. Miss Nc. Givney remained until late in the morning. Her coat was seen hang. ing on a guard rail on the toy floor during the time she was tes. tifying before the jury.
 Miss McGivney is still an employt of the controllers office, but hel capacity now is that of clerk. As 8 witness today she evidently was queried with relation to her daily tasks when she was chief office aide to Controller Leary.
 Street Dept. Supt. In
 Affairs of the Waterbury street department definitely came under the scrutiny of the grand jury yes terday afternoon as Thomas J Fleming, superintendent of streets water and sewers was called for the first time. He stayed but a short time and his reappearance today was expected.
 With the presentation to the jury yesterday of the minutes of meet ings of the board of finance for the past eight years, there was firm grounds for speculating that more members of the board of finance will be called to testify very short- ly. City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice brought the books to the jury al 10 o'clock yesterday.
 Numerous Witnesses
 Other witnesses of the day in- cluded: Patrick J. Carlin, building inspector, who evidently has con- cluded his testimony; Martin J Dunn, deputy controller; Joseph McMahon, chauffeur to MT. Leary; Ralph Devino, president of the Wa terbury Mason Supply & Lumber company; Robert Liddell, an elec- trician; Clifford Farrell, a trucker Miss Elizabeth McGivney, secretary to Controller Leary was subpoenaec yesterday, but the jury did not cal her. It is believed that the jury was not ready to hear her testimony and did not desire to keep hel waiting in the lobby.
 There is question as to the con. nection of MT. Devino with tht probe. He is reported to have sole considerable supplies to the cit, prior to January 1. There is alsC the connection he allegedly hac with the huge still which was un. covered by federal agents on Soutt Leonard street three years ago Identity of the real owners of tho still has never been definitely es, tablished, and the MT. Beano" con. nected with the still probe, wa. never really identified.

 be distributed to local governments as direct, non- interest bearing loans which would be repayable over a 5O- year period.
 The municipalities and states would be required to repay the prin- cipal of the loan to the government at the rate of 3 per cent annually.
 Funds would be distributed, under the proposal, through the existing PWA set-up, which would be ex- banded to the approximate form in which it was constituted before the administration ceased disbursing PWA funds. Projects for federal loans would be drawn from the res ervoir at approximately 5000 which had been submitted by local govern ments to PWA but not finally ap- proved when PWA ceased making new grants and loans in November, 1886.
 Eventual cost of the -prim- ing endeaVor, it's proponents sad, would be limited to the interest costs involved in borrowing the $l,500,000,- 900. The ultimate cost of these interest charges was estimated at between $500 100000 and $700000,000, or approximately the same amount as the proportionate cost of the old PWA program which provided out right grants of 45 per cent and in- terest-bearing loans of 55 per cent. Under the new program, however, the costs in the form of interest on the federal bonds would be spread out over the 50-year period of the loans.
 The administration hoped the new spending program could be in full blast by midsummer and would result in immediate vitalization of industry.
 The exact part that WPA would play in the new program was not made clear. But it was believed that WPA activities would be CO., ordinated with the PWA lending program so that work relief eX- penditures could be reduced in local ities where unemployment slack was taken up by the PWA spending.
 In addition, it was suggested that the administration would key the new PWA proposal into joint at tack upon housing and slum clear ancc problems possibly through use by localities of the new federal funds to institute housing programs,

BY MARY ALLEN HOOD,

1t is very probable if you are a
pet lover that you will want to buy
something special for your dog or
cat in celebration of Christmas
after all the human friends and
relations have been taken care Of
and your contribution made to
brighten the season for the poor
and Ill here In Washington. Fine.
Pick out something nice for the
animal by all means-but don't take
him along to upset and be upset by
the crowds in the stores.
There are three kinds of Christ
mas presents which q pup may be
offered; those which are good for
him, those which he likes, those
which other people should see that
he has.
Collars make nice gifts, but be
sure they're the right sort. Round
leather is used for heavy-coated
dogs df leather it must be) and
chained necklaces for the Dober-
man and Shepherd. Flat pieces
are good only for those whose coats
can't be disturbed. Then they
shouldn't be massive. One excep-
ton to this rule is that small, long
gentleman called Dachshound, who
looks best in q wide, light model.
After all, q collars function is to
become the dog, and hold his identi-
flcation.
Leads come in all sizes and shapes.
People sit up nights before Christ
mas trying to design new twists and
turns. The fundamental parts are
strength, comfort to handler and
safety. Watch out for French snaps
(the part which connects the collar
with the leaO. They're all right
when new, and fine In theory, but
