FORMER GOVERNOR
 TOSS ADVOCATES
 PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Attorney Quackenbush of I. R. T. of New York, Declares Government Ownership of Railroad Systems is Stuff and Nonsense"

WASHINGTON-Testifying before the federal electric railway commits sion ex-Governor Foss of Massachu- setts declared that the electric street car lines in his state would be headed toward public ownership "before the snow f1ies," and that there has been no fair test of government ownership in the government operation of the steam roads. Wall street and propa- ganda he said, were responsible for trying to make the public think the steam lines are now under actual gov ernment ownership. /
 "I have come to the conclusion re- luctantly," said the witness, "that public ownership is the only true so- lution of this question, whether it is electric or steam railway. Private ownership has fallen down. We have got to democratize our transportation system; then we have got to demo- will be in the condition they are in abroad.
 Banking management has got to relinquish control of all railroad and public service corporations. Why? Because the temptation to wreck these properties and reorganize them is too great. They do it every ten years. These quasi-public corpora tion stocks have got to cease being speculative footballs.
 "The public can't get a square deal through private corporations even if regulated. You can't do it. It's inn possible. The public says you must keep these railroads out of politics. Why, great heavens, they have been in politics for fifty years. The quasi

''Either Construction Along Orderly Lines or Over the Precipice of Destruction by Following Destructive Lad ership"

CHICAGO-"It is either orderly development or a panic with the in- evitable rout," declares President Perkins of the Cigar Makers Inter- national Union in writing in the off, cial journal of that organization on the need for trade unionists to do their duty.
 "It is either construction along or derly lines," continues President Perkins, Cor over the precipice of de- struction by following destructive leadership. Let us all have the cour- age of our convictions and stand man fully by the orderly, constructive methods.
 "Men and women are the victims of environment and conditions We don't blame people who have been forced to work for low wages, long hours and under miserable living con- ditions, for holding resentment and bitterness in their hearts and minds. They have been brow beaten, cheated and robbed by interruptions manu- lecturers; they have been lied to by interruptions, hair brained radical, self constituted would-be leaders, who have unhesitatingly denounced the le- gitimate trade union movement and the officers and members thereof
 "At this time and in this crisis we ask the unorganiZed and others, how ever, to look the facts squarely in the face; to inquire what the international union is; to ascertain from reliable sources who it's leaders and it's officers are, and then to consider for them selves what is best to do."

NEW LABOR PARTY WILL CELEBRATE
 LABOR'S HOLIDAY
Hartford Branch, Will Hold Forth at Riverview Park - Dancing, Speaking, Athletic EventS-PriZeS

AFFORD The Hartford Branch of the American Labor Party has planned to observe Labor Day in a fitting manner. Committees have been appointed to care for every de- 1 tail, the general chairman being John J. Doyle. The festivities will be held at Riverview Park, East Hartford, af- ternoon and evening, Monday, Sep tember 1.
 The celebration will be good old time family picnic, with dancing, prize waltz will be one of the features for those who delight in tripping the light fantastic toe. Refreshments and lunches will be served. There will be prizes for the winners of the athletic events.
 There will be addresses from 4 to 5 o'clock on political, social and indus trial democracy.
 An admission fee of 10 cents will be charged, which includes participation in the gold awards of $10, $5 and $2.50.
 A booth for the distribution of pro- gressive literature will be feature.
 M. Toscan Bennett, Daniel Stuart committee on literature.
 Harry Zimmerman will be floor di- rector of the dancing pavilion. James Revett is chairman of the refresh ment committee, and "you can leave it to Jim" and his corps of able as- sistants to take good care of the Gin ner man," for Jim is right there when it comes to the "eats" and liquid re- treatments. John H. Ostendorf, Da- vid Durie and their assistants will dis tribute enough aluminium ware for household use that it will not be neces- sary for those who attend the picnic to buy any more during a lifetime providing, of course, that you are lucky. Charles H. Hellyar will have charge of the athletic sports.
 It is also planned to have a display of union labels, house cards, buttons, etc., in the dancing pavilion.
 T. M. Crowley, chairman of the Hartford Branch, and state organizer of the American Labor Party, is in charge of the publicity bureau.
 The chairman of each committee will select his co-workers.
 Riverview Park is located in East Hartford, just over the big stone bridge. It is an ideal place to hold celebration of this kind, as the weather clements cannot entirely in- terfere with the day and evening pro- gram, the big pavilion being ample to shelter all in event of indictment weather.
 The committee is in correspondence with prominent speakers and one or two will be engaged for the occasion.

Representatives of Plantation Workers Appear, Before the Executive Board of C. l.. U. and Request Advice

HARTFORD-A delegation from the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People appeared before the executive board of the Hartford Central Labor Union and protested against the treatment they claim is accorded negro women en- ployed by tobacco growers in the vi- cinity of Hartford. The delegation claimed that these women workers are not paid according to the agreement when hired, are paid irregularly, and have difficulty in getting their earn ings.
 The executive board of the c. L. U. voted to investigate and take legal ac- tion if necessary. The executive board will also recommend to the central body that organization among these tobacco plantation workers be encour- aged. "

CHILDREN ARE HUNGRY

WASHINGTON-T attention of social unrest probers is called to a statement by Miss Lydia Roberts of the children's bureau, department of labor, that from 3,00O,OOO to 6,OOO,OOO American children are not getting enough to eat.
 Many of these children are going hungry, says Miss Roberts, because their parents can not afford to buy sufficient amount of suitable nourish- ing food. Thousands of American families are living on an income that does not permit of an adequate diet. Included in the millions of hungry children are those whose mothers do not know how. to spend their money to get the best return in food value.

THOUSANDS OF
 COAL MINERS
 NOT WORKING
likeness Creates Distress Among Large Number of Miners and Their Families, Says Government Official

WASHINGTON-In a speech on the coal situation in this country, Congressman Huddleston of Alabama read a letter from Director General Densmore of the United States em- ployment service which states that unemployment and distress prevails among miners in certain sections of the United States.
 "Ever since the armistice was signed" says MT. Densmore, "thou- sands of miners have been idle. Un- employment has been keenly felt in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the south western districts. Production of bitu- minous coal has decreased for the per iod ending June 28, 1919, from 212,- 100000 as compared with 284, ,00O, 900 for the same period in 1918 and the production of anthracite coal from 69, 100000 to 38,000,000 tons.
 'This is due to the fact that coal mines have been shut down and thou sands of men have been forced out of lege that this idleness is caused be- cause there is no market for coal.
 Unemployment in certain sections of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio is such as to create distress and want among a large number of miners and their families.
 "There are approximately the same number of men (1,000,000) employed in and around the coal mines now as there were in 1918. In some sections, due to idleness, Italians and Slavs from Europe have returned to their native land, but this has been offset by the return of thousands of men who served in the army and navy dur ing the war"

MODEST REAL ESTATE MEN

WASHINGTON-S Charleston, s. C., real estate owners are modest sort of chaps, and only ask a 10000 per cent. profit from Uncle Sam.
 This is shown in a report by the war departments board of appraisers on marsh land seven miles from Charleston, which the government wants for terminal purposes. The ap- praisersh fixed price of $10O an acre and one claimant wanted $1,887 an acre, Instead of the $798,5 300 asked recommends $43,36O as fair compen- sation.
 The board states that the amount now asked is "about 10000 per cent. increase" over the purchase price of six years ago.

TO FREE RAILROAD
 MANAGEMENT FROM
 WASTE AND POLITICS
Board of Fifteen Directors to Comprise Representatives of Operating Officials, Classified EmplOyes, and the Public

WASHINGTON-If the public will accept the railroad employees solution of the railroad question these workers will show what real railroad manage ment is when it is once free from ma nipulation, waste and politics, de- clared Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
 Plan for Reconstruction
 "Labor's plan for railroad recon struction," he said, "may be summar- ized by saying that it is operation by the men under the control of board of fifteen directors, which will be di- vided into three groups-fve mem bers representing the operating offici- als, five the classified employees, and the remainder chosen by the presi- dent to represent the public. This board is proportioned in it's member ship on the principle that operating railroads is a matter of efficiency and skill. Both of these are intangible things, purely human factors, not to be found in the audit of railroad books at the end of the fiscal year, nor in the arguments of learned counsel at rate hearings, nor talked about very loudly when a Wall street board of directors declares a dividend.
 Free From Waste
 "Such a corporation will have no other capital than the managers and workers skill and efficiency If the plan is accepted we expect to show the country what real railroad man. agement, free of manipulation from above, free of petty tyranny, free of waste and politics, may be made to mean. The workers are to be amply rewarded in direct ratio to their effici- ency-the plan shows that clearly enough.
 The Public's Equity
 "'Where is the public's equity in the plan?' is a question that will be asked from many quarters. It should be borne in mind that the public is the owner of the roads, and is at all times their master. Congress could revoke the new charter if the corporation fails to make good. The interstate commerce commission retains the power. The plan includes a proposal to reduce rates whenever the governments share of the divi- dends is in excess of per cent. of gross operating revenue. How long is it since the railroads under private ownership have made any proposal by which rates can be reduced?
 Reduced Rates
 "We believe that by efficient rail- road management passenger rates can be lowered to 17s cents a mile and freight rates 30 to 40 per cent And the railroads will belong to the country debt-free, and labor will be permanent partner in the great est cooperative enterprise that the world has seen."
