NO PLUMB PLAN AT ARSENAL.
No naturalization Of War Department,
Baker Says.

Washington, Sept. 3-Secretary OF
War Baker took haste today to dis
claim any intention to inject any Of
the principles of the Plumb plan for
the naturalization of the railroads in
to the management of the war depart
ment.
The secretary issued n formal state
ment explaining, that the employees of
the Rock Island arsenal have not been
put in a position of authority with re-
spect to the actual operation of the
plant That this was the case had been
inferred from an announcement of the
tNar department on Sunday, Rh.c I
was followed by Il statement by Glen.
f. Plumb comparing this action with
what he proposes with respect to the
railroads.
THE publication of the correspond
ence of arsenal employe and the secre-
tary of war has led to widespread mis-
understanding Of the situation" said
Secretary Baker. "The war depart
ment has encouraged the formation of
committees of its employees in the
arsenals, which committees consists
freely with the men and act in an ad-
visory capacity to the management on
questions of shop conditions, produce
! ton, and wages: by this means hearty
cooperation has been secured and COM
plete sympathy between the manage
ment and the employees has resulted.
'"The authority of the management,
, however is wholly undmnished by
| the advisory relation Of the committees
the management of the plans is un-
disturhed--the government operates
them, and the authority of the com
manding officer is as complete as 1t
| has always BEEN"
In the correspondence made pubic
| with the original announcement it was
stated that "the situation eventually
so developed that the employees were
permitted to select their own foremen,'
! and that employees enjoyed genu-
| Inc participation in the determination
| of shop processes and piece work
| prices"
REPRESENTATIVE Hull OF Iowa. who
represents the Davenport district ad-
| iacent to the Rock Island arsnal. also
declared there was no basis for any
comparison with the proposed Plumb
plan.
! What Is being done with employees OF
the Rock Island arsenal Is for the
| purpose of keeping the plant going
| with sufficient force so that when
| It Is needed an efficient organization
| viii be ~ work." Mr.. Hull said. The
army officers are In actual control ana
| the employees do not have any such
voice in affairs as would be contem-
plated by the Plumb plan"

ports indicating Failure of Rebellion

Unions Have Been Revoked, For
Rebellion.

had lost any of it's pristine vigor. =
Charters of twenty-four coal mine
locals in Illinois. in rebellion against
constituted authority, have been re-
voked- Frank Farringtion, state min
ers' president. announced today.
Nine locals in the Belleviile sub-dis-
trict and six in the Peoria SUBJ b-district
suffered expulsion from the union.
More than 300. loyal locals remain. Far
rington said
Action Of the miners executives was
in consequence of an order to miners
that the unauthorized strike of insur-
gents be ended prior to last Saturday
on the pain of loss of charters
President harrington said measures
would be taken at once to weed out
the leaders and agitators of the rebel
lion where they are not touched by
the charter >revocations.
Harrington said locals expelled
would be reorganized. In each case"
he declared, steps will be taken to
prevent members of the l. w. w. and
other anarchistic organizations from
becoming affiliated"
Strike leaders said today that in
cursions by strikers into sections of
the state not affected by the tieup,
such as in progress from Bellevue
southwark, would be undertaken in
various parts of the state.

But they are under government super
vision and will remain NO until assur-
ances are given the sugar Will be sold
Mt the retail price set by Uncle sam,
No more sugar Is to come into Chicago
In car loads and be juggled by specu-
lators until tho retail price is shot
above any just basis"
The sugar situation will demand the
initial attention OF the newly I'M
panelcd federal grand jury. A survey
Of the Chicago marke is to be made
and dealers summoned.
"The sugar situation will be taken
up tomorrow by the grand jury IA its
first STEP" declared Mr.. Clyne. Men
arrested In connection with sugar
deals will be brought in and indict-
monts asked eventually. but first we
wish TO go to the bottom Of this sup
ply situation"
Uncle Sans first blow against sugar
profitecring came last week, when
10000 pounds, seized upon evidence :
had changed hands several times sin-e
arriving in the Chicago yards, was
sold direct by deputy marshals. The
greater part of this distribution was
made TO retail dealers Mt 1914 cents a
pound, upon their guarantee the gov
ernmeut retail pricc of IL cents would
be assessed consumers.
