thorough and convincing analysis
of the railroad situation and the
Plumb plan league by Harry r.
Colvin.
One of the chief matters before the
meeting was that of the, strike OF the
Federated Railway ShoPrnen's union
and the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks feel that while the strike has
been declared illegal by the Shop
mems Grand Lodge officers. yet there
are extenuating circumstances of
which the general public does not
hood OF Railway Clerks extend their
sympathy to the shopmen.
A resolution was adopted without
a dissenting vote condemning the ac-
ton taken by the Richmond cham
Der of commerce opposing govern
ment ownership of railroads. and
their de ,laration that the demands OF
the railroad brotherhoods for a just
and fair living wage were "a menace
to the city OF Richmond"
The Virginia representatives in
congress will be advised of the action
taken at the B. of r. c. meeting
Friday night.
The railroad clerks contend that
their. demands for increased wages
are warranted by prevailing condi
tions, especially as long as prof1teers
are allowed to run wild over the land.
The Plumb plan league Is being
strongly advocated by the brother
hood men, and all possible pressure is
being brought to bear towards its sue
cess.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the director general. Walker D. Hines.
has ordered all regional directors Of
railroads to pay all men who have
been laid off at the freight stations
and other points due to the shopmen s
strike.

thought the second track of a double
track system should be included In
the valuation If it had been built out
OF surplus earnings,
The reply was: All money put back
into the property out Of money paid
by the public for service belongs to
the public interests and not to private
interest Therefore 1t should not be
paid for in valuation"
Therefore, surplus earnings put In
double tracks. cars. locomotives and
other equipment should not be included

That is my Interpretation of the
law" Mr. Plumb replied
