VOTE ON SHOP STRIKE
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Organized
labor was before the nation today
with demand that private capital be
retired from railroad operation and
that there be substituted q tri-partite
control of the railroad properties by
the public, the operating mana cement
and the employees.
The demand of organized labor pre-
sented in statement signed by the
engineers, firemen, conductors and
the American Federation of Labor.
was recognized today in Washington
as the most far-reaching proposal yet
placed before the nation during It's
reconstruction period. Officials re-
fused to predict its outcome. Tomor-
row 1t will be formally laid before
the house interstate commerce COM
mittee by Warren s. Stone, grand
chief OF the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, Frank Morrison, sec
retary Of the American Federation Of
Labor and Glenn E. Plumb. general
counsel for the organized railway en-
ployes Of America.
Marks Industrial Step
The proposal in the words OF its
author, marks the step by which Or
ganized labor passes from the de-
mands for wage increases to demands
that the system Of profits in industry
be overhauled."
In eliminating private capital from
the railroads the labor plan not only
proposes but demands that the pres
ent private owners be reimbursed with
government bonds for every honest
dollar that they have invested" that
the public. the operating manage
ments and labor share equally in cor
porations to take over the railroads,
and that in all revenues in excess Of
the guarantees to private capital the
operators and employees share one half
and the public receive the other half
either by increasing the means for
service without increasing fixed
charges. or by reducing the cost of
the service which the machinery then
in service can render"

officials Of railway shop craft through
the mailing out Of strike ballots, pre-
pared to enforce their demands for
wage increases approximating 25 per
cent. The ballots were to go to 500.-
600 shop employees in the United
States and about ten thousand in
Canada, some Of whom are already on
strike, refusing to obey the instruc-
tions of the union officials to await
the return Of the strike vote August

President Wilson was told by the
shop employees union representatives
in conference late yesterday that all
railroad employees were opposed to the
proposal of Director General Hines,
transmitted to congress by the presi-
dent Action by congress in author
izing a special body to consider wage
questions the union officials said,
would not furnish the speedy relief
made necessary by the rising cost of
living.
