The organization is the outgrowth of a movement whicn has been car- ried on by committees for the last six months protesting against decisions of Virginia authorities to require all Dis- trict concerns which operate trucks in that State to obtain a franchise at a large cost, and which entered vigor- ous protests against the regulation re- missioners requiring truck owners to limit loads on their trucks to the maximum capacity set by the manu- facturers of the trucks. A mass meet- ing was called June 1, at which reso- lutions were adopted by the truck owners declaring that if this regula- tion was continued in effect the num- ber of trucks required for deliveries and transportation would be greatly increased, adding to traffic congestion and imposing an added cost, ultimate- 1y on consumers. The purpose of the association is much larger than these immediate problems, however, Mr. Fanciulli de- clared today.

The story of how S--retaries of the Treasury and some of their assistants in former days were shaved and shin- gled in their private offices came to light today with the death of the faithful colored messenger who per- formed this barber service for many years. Willlam Tecumseh Smith—"Bill" Smith they called him—had been in personal attendance upon Secretarles of the Treasury since the days of Sec- retary Charles Foster, it was recalled today. For nearly 30 years he han- dled the private messenger service, ran his sharp razors the faces of high officials of the Treasury, times operated the private elevator, which communicates with the spa: clous office in the southwest corner of the big gray stone building.

The Natfon’s finance chiefs, in older days, recognized this, and they called Bill with his little black baz of barber tools to their private offl the operations of the tonsori: went on oftentimes while the Secre- taries continued to read or sign their the business of the Treasury. Shaving. however, it was recalled today by those who had witnessed the opera- tions, usually precluded any dispatch of business for a short time at least. Once on a time there was installed in a small -room adjolning the private office of the Secretary a regular barber’s chair. And it was there that “Bill” Smith presided, as a king at his throne. The barber's scissors were éver at hand, and it was not only during regulation haircuts that Bill would take the privilege of giving a shingle or trim to an official. Sometimes he would approach an official at his desk, and if a lock of hair seemed too far astray or too long, “snip” would go the scissors. Most officlals liked this. her former home, at Kirkwood, Il where she will join other delegates and travel the rest of the way on the Tri-Delta special train. After the convention Miss Van o Riper will visit Portland, Oreg., and and at other places on the coast down to will see the Grand Canvon and after a short visit at her father's home, in Kirkwood, will motor back to Wash- ington. It was said one objected, but Bill was still full of attentive solicitude and on |the lookout for stray locks. Chair Disappeared. How long ago the barber chair dis appeared from the Nation's Treasury was not revealed today by those who knew of its existence long ago. But the chair is no longer there.
