Mr. Willard took exception, how- jever, to some features of the tenta- tive consolidation plans, suggesting {among other things that the New York, New Haven and Iartford should not be included with the B. & O.

Under this strict the compensation commission pr tested that the federal compensation act for goverument cmployes was thus rendered far less effective and helpful than the act of several states. The compensation commlssion. not satisfied with the controller's deci sion, took two different tracks to rem- edy the situation. They went to Con- gress, where they conferred with members of the judiclary committees of the House and Senate to see if amendatory legislation could be passed.
