FEARS PLUMB
PLAN
Counsel for Associated
Industries Opposes Ma
tionalization, Because the
Workers Would Benefit.

Washington, Sept. 13.--The Plumb
plan for tripartite control of the
railroads under government owner
ship must be buried beyond all
hope" If it is not to be made "a raj
lying point for the naturalization
of all industry, Edgar j. Rich, trans
portation counsel for the Associated
Industries of Massachusetts, declared
before the house interstate commerce
committee considering legislation for
final disposition of the railroads.
Mr.. Rich. who also spoke for the
manufa cturers' association of %
states and the Massachusetts cham
ber of commerce. said the Plumb
plan, like bolshevism, was a per
version of the principal of socialism
in that it would benefit only one
class and deny the socialistic theory
of the general public good The
railroads, under the plan, he said
"Would be operated for the benefit
of the workers" while the public
would assume all risk of loss.
The greatest defect of the plan, he
declared. is that the two-thirds rep
resentation given the workers and
railroad officials on the proposed
wage-fixing board would enanle the
workers to dominate the board and
fix their own wages regardless CT
revenues, :" With the public to stand
anv resultant losses.
