DEN0UNCE PULMB PLAN
Transportation Expert Says Workers
 Would Gain and Public Lose.

Washington, Sept. 13.--The Plumb plan for tripartite control of the rail- roads under government ownership must be buried beyond all hope, if is is not to be made Ca railway point" for the nationaization of all indus try, Edgar J. Rich, transportation counsel for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts. declared today be- for the House Interstate Commerce Committee considering legislation for final disposition of the railroads.
 MT. Rich, who also spoke for the manufacturers association of 22 states and the Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, said the Plumb plan, like Bolshevism was a ''perversion,' of the principle of socialism in that it would benefit only one class and deny the socialistic theory of the general public good. The railroads under the plan. he said, would be operated for the benefit of the workers,' while the public would assume all risks of loss.

SENATOR ROBINSON
 DEFENDS MIR. M'ADOO
From Attack by She.tnan of Illinois on Subject of Railroad
 Passes.

Washington D. C., Sept. 15.-Rail- road passes in the hands of the fam fly of William G. McAdoo, former dir ector general of railroads, were the subject of sharp criticism by Senator Sherman of Illinois in the Senate to- day.
 The senator had read an article from the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore, telling of the passes issued to Mr. McAdoo and members of his family Senator Robinson of Arkan- sas, Democrat, told the Senate Mr. Mc- Adoo was acting as special attorney for the Railroad Administration in New York state without compensation and added:
 Tt is unfair and unworthy of either senators or great newspapers to make attacks upon MT McAdoo.'
 Senator Sherman called attention to the fact that passed were not issued quite so generously in Illinois. There are necessarily a number of state of fcials there who are engaged in du ties similar to those of the late direc- tor of the railroads said Senator Sherman. If the same rule should apply to other states there would be a considerable addition to the trans portation of the United States.
 Senator Kellogg of Minnesota told the Senate the Railroad Administra- ton had issued something like 5,000 passes good on every railroad ill the United States.
 II doubt he said, eff there has been a time in years, when so many people have been travelling on rall- road passes and Pullman. passes at a time when no one should have passes Congress ought to prohibit the lssu- ance of passes at all. That in the Rali- road Administration the government should start out with such an lssu- ance of passes is incomprehenslble to me when the railroads are losing so much money for the government
