Naturalization of Railroads
Must Come, Says Labor
Leader.
tcopyasht. 1919. by the United Press.


Paris, Aug. 13.-Samuel Gompers,
president OF the American Federation
of Labor, today declared in favor OF
naturalization Of American railways
and labor's demand for an equal voice
ins their administration.
fAmeTican railway workers intend
not only TO compel the government to
take over the railroads, but will de-
rnand, as the logical next step, that
labor shall be granted a permanent
equal voice in railway administra-
ton" Gompers said in an interview.
The railways must be brought
under suitable control. made up of
government. labOrers and technical
experts. At present none Of these ele-
ments has d real voice in any matter
Of importance Nconcerning the rail-
why's.
-Ths first step in changing the
situation would be for the govern
msnt to take over the lines. The
next step would be taking repre-
sentatives Of labor and representa-
tives % the owners into the admin
istrativc council.
The governments failure during
the war was due to its methods as
we'll as abnormal conditions. II
can't be expected that a man like
McAdoo, who had not the slightest
knowledge OF railroading. would be
able to handle the situation, even in
peace time, to say nothing of the
d difficulties added by war
Although I am ready to admit
am not positive that government
control would right all present
wrongs, I will back up the demands
