LABOR TO SPEED UP
WOODEN SHIPPING
Plan Presented to President

Tons Coming Year.

A plan under which shipbuilding
labor assumed responsibility for turn

ping during the coming year was sub
mitted to President Wilson today by
John J. MCGEE, former chairman of the
skilled labor bureau of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, who arrived in Wash
ington last night. Mr.. MCGEE stated
that he speaks for the Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
He said that if the President will
put the program into the hands of the
1900 tons of lightweight wooden
shipping every sixty days after con-
struction is under way. The plan con-
templates the building of many new
yards and the taking over of those now
in existence.

Walked Over Trenches.

I'VE had a great day. The old tanks
gave us great protection and aided US
in getting the tons of barbed wire en-
tanglements out of the way. We sim
ply walked over their trenches and
fought those who stood their ground in
the back areas. 1t was a hard day. OF
course. and we have had bad days
since. but we are all well and in good
shape now in one of their wonderful
concrete dugouts many feet under the
ground, protected from the hostile
shells the enemy has been sending all

excitement of the moment and due to
his drop in morale over the reverses

BOURNE ATTACKS
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Government ownership is attacked
as destructive of individualism and
initiative by the Republican Publicity
Association in a statement issued yes
terday
The association through its presi-
dent, Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr.,
claimed the railroads could have done
as much under private operation as
they did under Government operation.
IL they had been permitted to increase
rates by only fraction of the amount
by which they were increased after
thy Government took them over.
The statement. in part. reads3
The question of Government own
orship Is not one 20 he decided ac-
cording to the demands of temporary
emergency. 1t is doubtful whether
there was any real need for the
Government to take over the railroads
when IL did. @If the railroads had
been granted even portion of the
Increase in rates which Mr.. McAdoo
established soon after he got con-
'trol. the private managers could have
conducted the roads with an good
service as the public could expect.
Neither was there, nor is there,
any reason for Government operation
of the telephone, telegraph and cable
lines. Experience has shown and will
continue to show that Government
