RAIL BILL Differs
FROM PLUMB PLAN
Senator Lemoot's Proposal,

employees RECOGNIZED

Unification of the railroads Of the
country into one privately owned sys-
TEN with earnings guaranteed, the
manaEement shared by the security
holders public and employees, and
with provision for sharing excess
profits between the public and en-
ployes is proposed in a bill intro
duced today by Senator Lenroot OF
Wisconsin and referred to the inter-
state commerce committee. The plan
differs radically from the Plumb plan.
but in it, Senator Lenroot believes.
means of obtaining efficient and eco
nomical transportation are provided,
while at the same time adequate pro-
lection is given all concerned in the
operation of the carriers.
The bill was drafted, it was under
stood, by the Citizens National Rail-
road League. in collaboration with
Senator Lenroot, and, according to a
statement issued by the league. has
the support of that organization.
Commission Would Supervise.
Under the proposed plan the rail-
roads of the country would be placed

management of which. however,
would be under the supervision OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission; but
eleven directors appointed by the
President and confirmed by the SEN
ate, consisting Of two employees, two
representing commerce. industry and
United States Chamber of Commerce.
two farmers, three security holders and
one each from the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the state railway COM
missions
Operation of the roads would be
similar to that now practiced under
government control with a director
general selected by the directors and
regional directors, while an efficiency
and economy board consisting of f1ve
men named by the President would
also be created.
The bill also would provide for the
valuation of the railroads by averag-
ing the original cost less deprecia-
ton, the reproduction cost less de-
probation and the net earnings over
per cent per annum, varied by urgent
equities.
Forty Per Cent to Labor.
In distributing the earnings a
maximum dividend of 6 per cent
would be fixed for new stock, while 40
per cent would be paid to labor, 80
per cent to the public for improve
ments and retiring outstanding stock,
and 80 per cent to the stockholders.
Dividends of per cent would be
guaranteed by the government. how
ever. on all stock issued by the cor
poration, but none could be issued
without the Interstate Commerce
Commissions approval Efforts to
exert political influence for obta lining
promotion or employment with the
corporation would be made a penal
offenSe.
For the purpose of obtaining sug-
gestions for the Improvement of serv-
ice. safety and working conditions, as
well as to study wages, standards of
living and mediate in case of labor
controversies. the board of directors
would be required under the bill to
establish labor boards upon which Ia
boz would be equally represented. The
right to organize and collective
bargaining is guaranteed by the
measure.
