establishments Asked against
Long and Mrs. Parker

Montpelier. June 5.-The special grand
jury which Judge Frank l.. Fish of YER
gennes called in Washington county by
request of States Attorney E. r. Davis
commenced it's deliberations upon mat
ters that will be brought to It's attention
by the officers of the state about 245
o'clock this afternoon. Primarily the jury
will consider the murder in Barre, when

upon the work 1t will have in hand, call
ing special attention to what constitutes
murder and manslaughter, as defined by
law.
Owing to the hot weather and the fact
that there will probably be a large num-
Der of witnesses heard, the court gave

time and Sheriff Tracy was advised to
have a bevy Of officers accompany him
for the arrest, but he pulled it off alone

PROPOSES GOVT.
CONTROL OF RAILS
The Plumb Plan Presented to
A. F. of L.-PrOposition Is
Received with Cheers

Atlantic City, n. j., June 10.-A pro-
posal that organized labor insist upon
public ownership Of the railroads Of the
country was submitted to-day to the
delegates attending the reconstruction
convention Of the American Federation
of Labor by Glenn L. Plumb, counsel
for the railroad brotherhoods. Repre-
sentatives of the railroad workers re-
ceived unanimous consent from the con-
vention for Mr. Plumb to explain the
plan, the salient principles Of which have
received their endorsement. The speak
er's statement that the ownership of
the systems should be acquired immedi-
ately was greeted with proionger APP
plause. The cheering was renewed when
Mr.. Plumb said that with the government
substituting government bonds for out
standing securities, the railroads would
be removed from the dictatorship of
Wall Street"
Government ownership of the rail trans
portation systems, said the speaker,
would mean an annual saving in interest
costs of from four to six hundred mil
lion dollars and probably would permit
reduction of 10 per cent. in current
transportation rates The plan as detailed
by Mr.. Plumb, proposes the operation of
the roads by single corporation reg
ulated by and accountable to the govern
ment for its acts and expenditures. such
a corporation" said the spokesman for
the brotherhoods. would require no
capital.
1T should be organized under federal
laws. 1t should be authorized to take and
hold and operate these properties under
the full regulatory power Of the govern
ment. 1t should be required to meet all
costs of operation and fixed charges upon
the capital employed which had been
guaranteed by the government A GER
tain agreed percentage Of the results
of operation should belong to it, The
stock of this corporation should be held
in trust for the benefit of the employees
The earnings should constitute a trust
fund to be declared as a dividend upon
the amounts paid to the labor which IL
employs. every employe receiving that
proprtion of this trust fund which his
annual wage bore to the total annual
compensation of all employees.
The affairs of the corporation should
be administered by board of directors,
which tentatively 1t is suggested should
be selected in the following manner:
zone third OF the directors to be elect
ed by the classified employees below the
grade of appointed officials. one third by
the appointed officers and employees; the
final third being appointed by the Presi-
dent of the United States.
This board Of directors should have
power to appoint all officers from presi-
dent down to the point where employ
ment begins by classification. and to pre-
scribe the conditions Of employment and
classification of all other employees"
The so-called Plumb plan already has
been presented to the executive councli
of the federation. The council, in its
report now before the conference. recon-
mends that the convention endorse gov
eminent ownership Of the railroads.
