UNIONS WOULD
RUN RAILROADS
Brotherhoods Propose to
Operate Lines on Profit
Sharing Basis.

Railway employees OF tho country
had their turn yesterday when their
representatives urged government
ownership and operation OF the roads
on a proft-sharing basis before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee.
The plan put forward by the four
great railway brotherhoods, indorsed
by the ten other brotherhoods afili-
ated with the American Federation
of Labor, was laid before the COM
mittee by Glenn e. Plumb. OF Chi
cago.
Mr.. Plumb told the committee the
employees are opposed to the five-year
extension Of Federal control recon-
mended to Congress by Mr.. McAdoo.
but that their principal objection to
such extension was MIR. McAdoo's or
der prohibiting employees from par
ticipating in political activities. be-
cause the order amounted to vir-
tual Acknowledgement.
The employees plan, as presented
by Mr.. Plumb, embraced operation
of the roads by corporation
where operating ability constitut-
ed it's sole capital" said Mr.. Plumb
Such a corporation, he said, would
require no capital.
The roads would be purchased
outright by the government and
turned over to this corporation for
operation. 1t would be organized
under federal law. and it's affairs
administered, by a directorate, one
third selected by the classified en-
pIoyes; one-third by the appointed
officers and employees. and the re-
naming third appointed by the
President of the United States. The
directors would have power to ap-
point all officers, from president
down to the point where employ
ment begins by classification, and
TO prescribe conditions OF employ
ment and classification of all other
employees.
The plan would divide the profits
between the government and the
corporation. Whenever the govern
ment's share exceeded O stipulated
amount, the excess would be used
for reduction of the rates. The
corporations share would be held
as a trust fund for the employees,
from which dividends would be de-
clared. each employe receiving that
proportion of the trust fund which
his annual wage bore TO the total
annual compensation Of all en-
ployes.

BREAK FROM OUTSIDE
GANG is NOT FELONY.
Judge Defines Difference Be-
tween Penalties For Es
capped Prisoners.

Should a prisoner at the state peni.
tentiary attempt to escape while con.
fined within the walls of the institu
tion, he would be guilty of felony
But should he be trusty working on
the outside, or working in flax field
and escape or attempt to escape, he
has not committed the crime of felony
This ruling was handed down this
morning by Judge Percy Kelly when
the grand jury asked instructions in a
supposed John Doe ease, where the
prisoner is supposed to have escaped
while acting, as a trusty on the outside
of the prison. Under Judge Kelly y rul-
ing, the grand jury failed to indiet s.
B. Woods, who escaped June ID, 1919,
while serving as a trusty outside the
prison walls. He was captured two days
after his escape.
Judge Kelly referred to the wording
of the statute passed by the 1919 legis-
lature wherein the law was made to
read "while confined within the pen
itentiary.' Also the reference to the
law in regarding to an escape from
the penitentiary.
AS interpreted by Judge Kelly, there
is no violation of the 1919 law if the
convil,t escapes while serving as a
trusty, as happened in the case of
Woods.
Referring to authorities, Judge Kel-
ly quoted former ruling of the Ore
gon supreme court, where it was held
that 1T was not a crime to sell or give
liquor to O convict while outside the
pcnitentiary, although it was crime
to give liquor to one serving on the in
side. In the case referred to, the Ore
gon supreme court, through an opinion
written by Judge Eakin, held that the
law applied to those actually confined
within the prison walls.
Reference was also made to a ruling
of an Iowa case where the concealng
of a convict in a stone quarry did not
constitute the offense of attempting
to aid the convict from escaping from
the Iowa penitentiary. Also to Mis-
souri, case where it was held that an
escape while working on the road conld
not be held as an escape from the pen
itentiary.

Too Many Votes Granted

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. 12.-An attack

"While it is true that Canada, Aus

a vote while our island possessions are
not. -

ly referred to the far eastern question

oGALLAH CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Did we dedicate the new church
Sunday? Well, guess SO. We had a
far and near. Several Wa-Keeney peo-
pie attended. Everyone spoke well of
the Dedication sermon rendered by
the pastor B E. Parish He spoke of
the tasks of the Christians as only be-
gun The new building, monument
to past efforts and prayers, as only
the sanctuary wherein we worship,
can not stand and its walls and tower
had better crumbIe and disappear, if
our actions and deeds in the future
are not in accordance with the pro-
ed for us to follow out HE that is
not with me IS against me; and he
that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad"
The singing rendered by small
choir was of good quality.
The church fund is not flushed with
money at present However the dol
lar was not mentioned throughout the
program, thing that very seldom
occurs on Dedication Day. We viii
try and devise a plan whereby each
member of the church and also those
who feel they want to contribute for
the new building can have an oppor-
tunity to do So The decorations were
fitting and beautiful and the pictures
on the wall, the communion set, the
carpets and other personal donations
make the inside appearance very
homelike.
We, the members of this body here

all who have kindly assisted us in

we extend welcoming hand to come
