Says People Would Have to
Buy Lines Through Bond
Issue
BURCHENAL FEARS
GRAB OF PROFITS

What IS known as the Plumb plan
FOR Government ownership and opcr-
alton OF railroads was explained by its
originator. Glenn y. Plumb. general
counsel OF the railway brOtherh0ods
al the nrst meeting OF The new Wili
mngion open Forum, held In The iish
School auditorium yesterday afternoon
Both the main noor and gallery of
the auditorium We're comfortably nlled
by an audience composed largely oi
men The Rev. W. A. Nr0oman who
presided. announced that a second open
meeting would be held sunday after
noon. October ~. at which public
ownership of trolley lines would bee
discussed. Irving Casler conducted a
short sing preliminary TO the dis
cussion yesterday.
Mr. Plumb plunged into his subject
with the directness OF a lawyer adj
dressing a court
lie began by explaining at much
length the development Of industry
from the simple partnership 10 the
vast corporations Of today.
Mr.. Plumb explained 10 was proposed
10 operate the railroads by board OF
fifteen directors. five named by the
President, 90 represent the public; 1--WE
elected by the operating officers; FIVE
elected by the classified employees. A
prchasing board composed OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
three directors OF the new government
corporation, one director from each
grop, would supervise the purchase OF
the roads.
Caleb z. Burchenal asked the speak
er what would prevent the employees
and executives getting together TO
boost their share OF the profits. The
reply was that the bill provides that
after operating expenses are paid and
fixed charges met. including the in
terest on outstanding government Sc
curlties. the surplus is divided equally
between tho Government and the men.
The employees portion IS 20 be
divided between the managerial and
classified employees. the former re-
celvlng double the rate received by the
latter class. Since the operating on
cials would lose dividends n wages
were increased. 10 acts automatically
to prevent colluslon between labor d.
rectors and the operating directors 20
outvote the publlc's directors In rails
ing wages beyond a reasonable level
This method OF sharing dividends sets
dp n natural barrier against coliusion.
Another question asked was: "lIow
does the government propose 70 buy
;hG roads? 2" Plumb's answer was, by
Issuing government bonds with which
To pay for tho legitimate private in
terests in the railroad industry.
