Labor Chief Says Govern

Was Due to Methods.
BY United Press

PARIS. Aug 13.-Samuel Comp
ers. president OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today declared in
favor of naturalization of Ameri-
can railways and labor's demand
for an equal voice in their admins
tration
American railway workers in
tend not only TO compel the gov
ernment to take over the railways
but will demand. as the logical next
step. that labor shall be granted a
permanent equal voice in the rail
way administration, Gompers said
in an interview.
The railways must be brought
under suitable control. made up of
the government. laborers and tech
nical experts. At present none of
these elements has q real voice in
any matter OF importance concern
ing the railways
Take Over Lines First.
The first step in changing the
situation would be for the govern
ment TO take over the lines. The next
step would be taking representa-
tives OF labor and representa- tives OF
the owners into the administrative
council.
The governments failure during
the war was due 10 its methods as
well as abnormal conditions. 1t can't
be expected that n man like Nc
Adoo. who had not the slightest
knowledge OF railroa ding. would be
able 20 handle the situation. even
in peace time. 10 say nothing OF the
difficulties added by war.
Will Demand Real Trial.
Although l am ready 10 admit
am not positive that government
control would right all present
wrongs. I will back up the demand
OF the federation that a real tria'
be given when control is taken. We
will insist that rail experts. not
merely politicians, be placed in
charge Of technical questions.
Solution OF the whole problem
rests with cooperation OF three
heretofore conflicting interests-lab- b.
