NATURALIZATION
OF MINES. RAILS.
WORKERS DREAM
Committees Meet in Wash
ington Today TO Dis
cuss Suggestion
RAILROAD CHIEFS
MUM FOR present
OcI 1I

| WASHINGTON, oct. % UNITED Press
Committees OF miners and railroad
brotherhood men, representing two OF
the strongest union organizations IN
America, met today TO discuss national
ization OF their Industries.
By naturalization members OF both
committees mean the ownership OF the
mines and railroads by the government
with the workers having a share in
their management. operation and
profits.
The miners committee, which was
appointed at the recent Cleveland con
ventiOn, Is headed by w. ID. Van Horn,
OF Terre Haute, Ind.
We hope 10 bring about a perma-
nent alliance with the railroad men,"
said Van Horn today. "One Of the
principal aims OF this alliance, II il Is
formed, will be 10 further nationallza-
tlOn.
THE railroad men have lndorsed ma
tionalization and 50 have the miners.
Combined, the two unions would give
powerful support 10 the plan"
Officials OF the railroad unions, which
always refused 10 combine with any
other labor organizations today had
little TO say about the possibility OF an
alliance with the miners.
W. q. Lee. head OF the railroad train
men, declared that the miners had
sought the conference.
T0days meeting Is the second be-
tween the two labor organizations. The
ilrst was held I'm Cleveland during the
miners convention there and soon after
.he railroad brotherhoods launched the
Plumb plan OF railroad control.
Before tho meeting today this was
he situation OF the miners and railroad |
men:
Both have indorsed naturalization.
The miners have called a strike for
Noymeber 4, demanding more wages a
ive-day week and slx-hour day.
The railroad men have demands
irawn up which they want complied
With before the roads are turned back
o their owners. an action the President
as said he will take January 4.
The miners declare, however. that
heir pending strike has nothing 10 do
With their naturalization program.
which they say. is a political and not
n economic question.
The railroad men have also told the
committee they would
ever strike to force adoption OF the
'lumb plan.
