PROPOSED BY MR.. SIMS
Claims It Will Bring Harmony
Among Labor, Capital and Pub
lilo and Checks II. G. L.

Government ownership OF the rail-
roads is proposed in a bill introduced
today by Representative Sims, demo-
crat, of Tennessee. The measure en-
bodies the plan which has been in
dorsed by the four railroad brother
hoods and the American Federation
of Labor and which was presented
to congressional committees recently
by Glenn e. Plumb.
In statement accompanying the
measure Representative Sims said its
enactment would establish harmony
between the public interest, the wage
earners and capital" and would be a
long step toward solving the high
cost of living problem by lowering
transportation charges.
Under the bill operating control of
the railroads would be vested in a
directorate of fifteen, five appointed
by the President. five by operating
officials and five by employees. Hold
ers of per cent bonds which the
government would Issue for the pur-
chase of the lines and the employees
would share equally in the earnings
of the roads. ,
