The advantages which would be de-

carefully considered by experts in
the local marketing situation. The
Pennsylvania has large interests in

The negotiations contemplating the
sale were in progress for a long time
before the European war broke out.
The financial disturbance incident to
the war suspended all such projects
for a time; but latterly it has been un-
derstood that the Pennsylvania has
revived it's interest in the purchase.

NEW YORK TAKES UP
SHERMAN PROPOSAL
Continued from First Page. }

an appropriation of 500. 900 to establish
a like service is confronted by the de-
termined objection OF men who will
not listen to the proposal of doing such
and who are determined to keep 1t out
Of the law.
The problem OF equipp!ng Washington
with terminal whole market has been
Sherman almost from the time he en-
tered US office. He has studied the
work OF commissions and municipal
authorities elsewhere. especially in New
Iork; The plan which he worked out
for Washington and which was laid
before Congress was prepared before
the New York authorities presented
their scheme.
Sure Thing In New York.
IF my plan had not been given out
first" said MIR. Sherman today, with
some satisfaction, 81 might very easily
have been accused OF borrowing it from
this big New York undertaking. They
are going to do for that great city. on
an appropriate scale. just what I have
been wanting to have done here"
Mr.. Sherman's program for Washing
ton has been to provide. on the water
front lands owned By the Government,
a focus for the marketing operations or
the whole city. lie has selected a loca-
ton which has water and rail trans
portation for bring In produce; where
there Is room to build warehousing and
cold storage facilities; and from which
she cheapest and most convenient trans
portation can be secured for distribut-
ing to retail markets all over the city
This Is exactly what the New York
authorities have adopted as the basis Of
hte plan which they declare will do
more for the consumers of that city
than anything ever before undertaken.
In New York market plants it Is
proposed to lease tn, facilities to CO.
| operative companies of producers and
dealers which will be organized under
the direction Of the State authorities.
That is exactly the plan that Mr.. Sher-
man had In mind for Washington. He
said today that he considered his own
plan preferable, in that the terminal
market properly would, under it, be
owned by the public instead of by
private corpora ton, and, therefore less
liable to be affected by change of policy
of officials over whom the public would
have les sintiuence.
Would Produce Profits.
Mr.. Sherman has insisted at all times
that his plan would produce actual
! profits on the public moneys invested
| In it, That his view was correct is sug-
gested by the fact that private capital
is going to provide these facilities in
New York. in, order to get profits from
| them. Mr. Sherman declared that his
plan. worked out in detail. would save
the people of Washington all of 5000 a
year in the cost OF their food. The
New York authorities have made calcu-
iations that their enterprise will save
to the people fthat city from slO.Cco.Vo
to 100000. which Is considerably more
in proportion than the economy that Mr.
sherman expected to effect in Washing

the Just interests OF the employer and
the pubic. leaving every worker free to
associate himself with such groups or
to work independently. as he may choose
flavor them most heartily. Combina-
tions or capital are sometimes conducted
in an unworthy manner. contrary to
law. and in disregard Of the interest
both OF labor and the public.
such combinations cannot be too
strongly condemned or too vigorously

All Under Suspicion.
"Although combinations Of this kind
are the exception. such publicity is
generally given to their unsocial acts
that all combinations Of capital. how

suspicion. Likewise it sometimes hap
pens that combinations OF labor are
conducted without just regard for the

are deserving OF public censure"

Rockefeller asserted his company. the

a small percentage OF they mines in

dictated their policies. His compan ny &
