right Of the worscr who supplies that
need demands like acceptance. This
can only be achieved ny permitting
producers and consumers to share In
control in the management Of their
needs Of existence. Tho machinery for
obtaining this result we believe Is em-
bodied IN the plan in the Sims bill"
Morrison 10 Heard.
Enactment of the pending bill en-
bodying organized labor's plan for re-
organization OF railroads will re-es-
tablish the. theory that the roads
shall be operated for public service
rather than private profit, the house
Interstate commerce committee was
told today by Frank Morrison. secre-
tary Of the American Federation Of
Labor. He presented resolutions en-
dorsing that plan which was adopted
by the federation at Atlantic City re.
Gently.
In all discussions Of this ques-
tion." Mr.. Morrison said. ''it would be
well to bear in mind that quasi public
corporations are created for service
and not for. profit. A long line OF
decisions, from the supreme court OF
the United States down. have invar-
iably held that the fundamental pur-
pose Of these corpora tions is to serve
the public, and that they are only
entitled tosa fair remuneration.
Hardly any one will deny that un-
der private management the railroads
have been hnancial footballs. and that
they have been directed by interests
whose wreckaEe OF numerous systems
Is common knowledge. This wreck
age has been accompanied by a de-
bauching Of legislatures and other
political activity that tested democrat
ic institutions.
Aside from, the. application of
democracy in these properties, and
their handling by practical railroad
men, the Sims bill will squeeze all fic-
titious value out Of these properties.
This will AFFECT living costs and re-
duce chargss the public must now
meet. for then the roads will not be
compelled to earn dividends on mil
lions Of dollars Of watered stock"
