NEEDED BY BUREAU
Welfare Workers Hope to Col
lect All of $25,000 Budget
for Year in One Effort.
FINAL APPEAL IS MADE
' prepared a statement showing that the
word "rural" in the title of an act or
the 1915 Legislature providing- for
credit unions and co-operative associa
tions, is misleading and he desires that
the act be changed.
He suggests that the following
amendments be made to the act in
question;
First Chance the title of the act to har-
monlza with the Intent and Dumoses of the
law, -ty using the words ''Co-operative Credit
Unions."
Second Confine such organizations to a
limited field of operation.
Third Restrict the membership to inti
mates and associates, in close touch with
one another, requiring; each member to
be identified with the basic unit upon which
the union Is founded.
Fourth Make specflo provision for ex
aminations by the department, which la
only implied by the present act.
Fifth inasmuch as one of the purposes
for which credit unions are organized is the
payment of dividends to shareholders, and
the state Is put to considerable expense of
examination and supervision, it would also
seem advisable that section S.s nf tha mr-t.
which exempts such credit unions from the
payment or taxes, be repealed.

SHIP MONOPOLY WANTED
BRITONS ITTEBPBET ANNOUNCE-
HEJfT BY 1XOYD GEORGE.
Snppoaed Flam la to Korbtd Cargoes In
British Vessels Not Intended
for Subjects of Empire.
NEW YORK, . Dec 20. A deBlre of
the British government to mobilize
under one general head the entire ocean
cargo-carrying facilities of the tmlted
Kingdom for the exclusive benefit or
the allied armies and the great civilian
populations of the allied countries. Is
the reason behind the statement of
Premier Lloyd George that the shipping
of Great Britain will be "nationalized."
according to leading British shipping
men here.
For some time one of the represent
ative steamship men said today, all
British vessels have had about one
third of their cargo space comman
deered for grain. This space has re
cently been increased to such an extent
now the New York agent has about
one-third of his ship available to pri
vate shippers.
The same authority added that It Is
his belief more space would be con
trolled by the government by regula
tlons requiring that all cargo be of
ficially designated. Designation of
cargo will mean that the shipping in
British bottoms of any commodity
other than that necessary for malnte
nance of army and civil life will be
forbidden.
It Is also deemed not unlikely that
British ships now engaged in trade
between neutral countries will
called on to take their place In the
line of ships engaged in carrying sup
plies to Great Britain and her allies.

manufacturers to Insure small publish

Some trade commission officials be
lieve that panic among publishers who
feared their wants would not bo sup

charged. Manufacturers now have
