PRESIDENT GOMPERS
BACK FROM EUROPE

New York-President Gompers has
returned from Amsterdam where he
attended meeting of the interna-
tional trade union movement. He was
accompanied by his co-delegate, Dan.
J. Tobin, A. F. of L. treasurer ana
president of the Brotherhood OF
Teamsters. John ]. Hynes, president
of the Amalgamated Sheet Metal
Workers. International Alliance, the
other delegate to the Amsterdam
meeting remained in England, where
he will attend the meeting of the
British Trade Union Congress as a
fraternal delegate from the A. F..
of L.
When President Gompers stepped
from the boat he was surrounded by
newspaper men who urged him to
discuss current labor conditions. The
A. F. of L. executive declined to ex-
press an opinion on any particular
situation that has recently developed
until he had familiarized himself with
it, but he did declare that he "did not
come home to interfere with the pro-
gram of labor, but to help my fellow
laborers."
Certainly" he added, "men and
women who work must have voice
in determining conditions under which
they shall give their labors."
In addressing a meeting of 1000
striking actors before leaving for
Washington, President Gompers said:
"This situation in which you stand
today is similar in character to that
of the German people. hold that
the company of men that has not
learned that autocracy is thing of
the past, that it has gone by the
board, has not learned the lesson OF
the war"

Mother Jones Predicts

Pittsburg, Pa.-At a meeting Of
steel workers, held at North Clarion,
near here, Mother" Jones was the
principal speaker. In her plea for
workers to unite, the veteran trade
unionist said: Kaiser Bill had moth
ing on the multimillionaire steel bar
ons. His day has come and their day
is coming"
The meeting was not disturbed by
public officials, who stopped a meet
ing Sunday, August last, arrested
the organizers and fined them for
"disorderly conduct"
Memories of the Homestead strike
were recalled when Mother" Jones
attempted to address mass meet
ing of workers at that place. Munich
pal officials refused to issue "per-
nit" to hold meeting in hall and
Mother" Jones began speaking on
the street from an automobile Or
ganizer John Brown, who was in the
machine, was ordered by the police
to "drive on" but Brown refused and
both he and Mother" Jones were ar
rested. No charge was placed against
them, and they were released on
heavy bail. When the accused were
arraigned for trial the crowd outside
the court room was so large that the
proceedings were postponed, ana
"Mother" Jones started for Washing
ton to inquire of United States At
torney General Palmer if free speech
in western Pennsylvania is a myth.

Comparison Shows
HOW THE PLUMB PLAN DIFFERS
FROM OTHERS
Many Schemes Presented by Repre-
sentatives of Capitalists, But Few
Want Water Removed or La
Dor Given Consideration

Washington-A comparison of the
many solutions to solve the railroad
question shows that the Plumb plan
provision that the workers shall re-
ceive a share of surplus earnings, is
not the reason for the bitter oppos1-
ton to the Plumb plan.
This principle is also contained in
the railroad solution offered by the
Investors Protective Association
(known as the Amster plan) and by
the Owners of Railroad Securities
association (known as the Warfeld
plan).
This presents the contradiction OF
railroad interests opposing the distrl-
$ button of surplus earnings among en-
ployes, as contained in the Plumb
plan, and accepting the same prin-
ciple in the solution they favor.
The real opposition, however, to
the Plumb plan is not because of the
division of surplus earnings, but be-
cause the workers will be given a
voice in the management of these
properties, because the railroads will
be taken from private control, and
because the watered stock will be
squeezed from them.
Besides the Plumb plan, which is
urged by railroad employees, other
plans are favored by various groups
and interests, and are known by these
titles:
Chamber of Commerce of the Uniteo
States, Victor Morawetz, Paul M.
Warburg, Amster plan, Warfield plan,
railway executives, state railway
commission, and Director General OF
Railroads Hines.
All of the above provide for private
ownership with an enlargement of
the powers of government control
that existed before the war. In no
case is the elimination of watered
stock favored, and in many of these
plans there is no reference to labor
while much attention is paid to guar
anteeing dividends.
The Plumb plan is distinguished
from all other solutions not because
it provides for a division of surplus
earnings with employees, but because
dividends would be guaranteed only
on actual money invested, private
ownership would be abandoned and
the workers would assist the man.

ratiOns and dollar Year" Men
By Government Contracts
During the Year

Washington = Gougers and profit
eers could be Smoked out" by pub
fishing the income tax returns, ac-
cording to United States Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, who has in
troduced a resolution empowering a
committee of the senate, on order of
the president, to examine the income
tax figures with view of ascertain
ing what the great corporations made
and to what extent the "dollar-a-
year" men proited by their contracts
with the government.
'In my opinion" said Senator
Walsh, "the chief causes of the pres
ent high cost of living are profteer-
ing, waste in production and distrib-
ution and unnecessary exporting of
foodstuffs and other necessities of
life for the sake of larger profits"
The resolution says the obtaining
of evidence of profteering is most
difficult, because such testimony must
come, Sin a great part from those
charged with such unpatriotic prac-
tices, but, nevertheless, there is in the
possession of the government much
evidence, only obtainable by an order
of the president of the United States,
that would assist in directing where
and by whom excessive profteering
was DONE" The resolution further
declares:
"There is general demand that
the persons, partnerships and corpo-
rations making excessive profits at a
time when millions of American fam
lilies were sacrificing and suffering
for the cause of our country, and
millions of American youths were
serving in the army and navy, all of
whom were ready to make every ne
cessary sacrifice, and, in fact, many
thousands of them did sacrifice their
health, their limbs and their lives for
the preservation of Americas honor,

the people of this country may have
in their possession the names of the

tressed condition of their country to
