NEW HAVEN ROAD
 HAS NEW BATTLE
Abandonment of Old C0l- Ony System Is Resisted
 By Mass Officials

Boston, Feb. 15-(UP)-Attorney General Paul A. Dever said today that his department will resist any effort ot carry out a federal judges suggestion that the New Haven rail- road seek abandonment of the entire Old Colony system and possibly the Boston Providence line.
 The suggestion was contained in a letter from Judge Carroll c. Hincks of the U. s. district court for Con- necticut to the railroad trustees. He made the proposal, Hincks said, "in order tha tthe entire Old Colony problem be officially before the dn- terstate commerce. commission at the time hearings are held"
 An abandonment petition, he be- lieved, would "serve to emphasize the gravity of the Old Colony situa- ton and perhaps tend to induce more sympathetic consideration for any segmentary abandonment which seems especially necessary"
 President Howard s. Palmer of the New Haven railroad declined to com- ment on the proposal. The trustees will meet next Tuesday, he said.
 Chairman Francis M. McKeown of the state public utilities commission said the letter would have no effect on hearings scheduled to be resumed March 1 on the railroads petition to abandon 88 stations on the Old Col ony system.
 Judge Hincks last July ruled that the railroad might abandon the sta tons despite the fact that the state commission was holding hearings on the matter. He subsequently, was reversed by a circuit court of appeals which held that the commission con- trolled railroads operating within the state.

benefits to eligible, unemployed

nounced. While the benefits will
not be paid until the latter part of
July unemployed workers should
register for work at once at the
nearest district, county or contact Of
flee of the state employment service
division of the commission, Craighead
said. In 1888 over $4,000 persons were
placed in jobs by the employment
service
First on July %
Claims for benefits will be taken
starting July / at employment service
OF the state. The first benefit checks
will be mailed from Helena on July %
After filing a valid claim the unem-
ployed worker must wait a two-week
waiting period and one additional COM
pensable week. If in the compensate
week the worker has not earned more
than IS in odd-job earnings he will re-
ceive his benefit check BY mail at his
home address. All eligible unemployed
workers will receive the benefit checks
for l6 weeks, excepting if they earn
over IS weekly in odd-job earnings or
if they secure steady employment.
May Be Disqualified
Workers who are dismissed for mis-

! viii be given separation notices by
their employers.
This separation notice is an indica-
ton that the worker, if otherwise ell
igible, may be disqualified by the COM
mission for period of from one to
nine weeks. This means he would have
to wait the period of disqualification
plus the two-week waiting period be-
fore his first compensate week starts.
If the employer dismisses an employe
due to lack of work the employer will
give the workers notice to report
This notice informs the worker he is
