Representative of Brother
hoods of Employees Has
Ut0pian Scheme.
URGES LABOR'S PLAN
FOR RAIL CONTROL
Would Have Government Own Lines
and Delegate Their Operation to
Private Corporation With All En-.
pIoyes Sharing Equally in Division Of
Earnings-6rotherhoods Opposed to
Several Ideas Being Considered.

Washington. Feb. 7.-Railroad labor
interests today proposed government
ownership and private operation by
one large corporation. comparatively
organized and sharing profits with en-
ployes as their solution of the railway
problem.
Testifying before the senate inter-
state commerce committee on behalf OF
the four leading trainmen's brother
hoods and other employees organizations
Glenn (. Plumb. Of Chicago, recon-
mended that the government acquire
all railroad property at a price fairly
representing the physical valuation,
and to entrust the operation to a COR
poration to be directed jointly by en-
ployes, officers and the government.
Earnings would be divided equally
among the employees and the govern
ment and rates would be automatically
reduced when profits amounted to
more than a fixed rate.
Perfection Foreseen.
This plan. it was argued, would pro-
vide cheaper financing, give stability of
income to security owners. promote
efficiency of. operation thru sharing
profits. remove railroad operation from
partisan politics. compose conflicts be-
tween federal and state authorities,
keep rates at a minimum, eliminate
complications in rate schedules and
prove means OF making communities
benefiting by extensions pay for them.
The corporation would be subject ~
regulation by the interstate commerce
commission, which would retain its
present regulating power.
The brotherhoods objected to the
railway executives proposal for esta b.
fishing secretary for transportation
saying this would constitute 'regulat-
ing the people in the interest Of
capital" They also protested against
the railroad administration order for
bidding railway employees from taking
part in politics. arguing that the solu-
tion of the railway problem is poll
tical issue and that employees are en-,
titled to participate.
Mr.. Plumb suggested organization
"of an operating corporation where
operating ability constituted its sole
capital"

Peking, Feb. 5.-Attempts are being

This development has caused de-

been jubilant over the strong stand
taken by the Chinese in relation to the
Japanese claims. This depression is
intensified by the fact the government

Paris. July 1.-The United States is
being blamed by the English for the
fact that there were no British guards on
board the interned German fleet at Scapa
Flow, thus permitting the enemy to cheat
the allies of their prey by sinking the
German warships.
1t can be stated positively on the
highest authority there was no Ameri-
can interference regarding the military
or the naval terms of the armistice and
there was no attempt on the part of the
American representatives to amelicrate
the terms of the armistice. On the con-
trary General Bliss and Admiral Benson
suggested much more drastic conditions
than the French or British conferees
which were not carried out.

announced tonight.
1T will be impossible to attempt

Manager Wharton said
He explained that altho it would be
possible TO operate some trolleys for a
brief period following the electricians

safety of passengers and therefore such
action will not be taken.
Because operation of street cars is
necessary to insure success to the

Business Of the house is not complet-

There will be enough things to keep us

sidered soon. And besides. we want to

Baltimore and Frisco Jurists
Take Opposite Stands on Pre-

Congress Promises to Settle
Matter by Early Passage of
Enforcement Act.

Baltimore, July Liquor men here
are rejoicing tonight over a decision in
the United States district court by Judge
Rose. in accordance with the ruling of
the United States district court of New
York. handing down an opinion which
literally gives brewers in the local dis
trict free right to manufacture and
sell beer of not only half per cent beer,
but o75 per cent until the supreme
court makes the final ruling on the
question.
The opinion was in the case of the
Standard Brewing company. the Off
Gals of which were indicted for man
ufacturing beer of half of one per cent.
Judge Rose sustained the demurrer,
but in doing so informed the defendants
that they would be still conducting their
business at their own risk by manufact-
uring beer. He stipulated that they
shall not manufacturs intoxicating beer.
