GIGANTIC STRIKE WOULD SOCALIZE ALL BRITISH INDUSTRIES
BY EDWIN HCLLlNGER

Copyright 1919 by United Press
London, Feb. s. The
present strikes in Great
Britain are the first step
toward the socialization of
all industries and the estab-
lishment of revolutionary
committees like those of
Russia, William Watson,
member of the Shop Stew
ards National council, today
declared. He frankly admit
ted that the shop stewards
are in sympathy with the
bolshevist philosophy and
said that the English work
ers hope to establish revolu-
tionary committees like
those in Russia.
Watson said: "We al
ready represent so per cent
of the English laborers and
the shop stewards are be-
hind practically all of the
present strikes. We are di-
rect actionists as opposed to
the regular unionists who
are constitutionalists. We
are against the bourgeois.
We hose that they will sub
nit to the new regime, but
if they become obstreperous
we intend to be firm. Person
ally, I would not be sur
prised to see violence in
England, but I hope it will
not come. I presume it may
be necessary to control the
London newspapers. We do
not intend to touch the tele-
graph lines.
Our present program in
cludes a 4O-hour week, and
perhaps shorter, if it is
found advisable and desir-
able. -

HINES IS AGAINST
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Especial United Press Wire. J

Washington, Feb. 8. - Govern
ment control of the railroads must be
extended for at least three years or
be shelved Immediately. This ulti-
matum has been issued by Walker u.
Hines, director general of railroads.
Hines has proposed the three-year
extension period as a compromise
due to the bitter opposition of con-
gress to the recent tive-year recon-
mendation of McAdoo. In any event,
Hines told the senate interstate COM
merce committee, the present IL
month limit on government opera
ton is intolerable. He had in mind
the resolution Senator Cummins in
troduced to prevent the return of
the railroads to private control be-
fore that limit expires.
Hines came out frankly against
government ownership, but earnestly
appealed for the adoption of the five
year test period.

.GLENWOOD IN
DAMAGE SUIT

By suit recently filed in the dis
trict court the city of Glenwood
Springs and divers and sundry persons
are made defendants in damage suit
brought by Mrs. Evelyn Davis who on
five counts charges that she has been
damaged by the defendants to the tuue
of 1880, for which amount she asks
Judgment, together with the costs of
suit.
The defendants are The City of Glen
wood Springs, the Board of Health of
said city, the Red Cross, the Board of
Aldermen, P. J. Kirwan as an individ-
ual and also as mayor and likewise as
member of the board of health. In
like manner is each alderman deignat
ed in dual or triplicate capacity; also
DR.. E. j. Horan, J. C. Richardson, H..
G. Overlook and Margaret Hetzel, the
latter being mentioned in multiplicity
of capacities.
The action grows out of the necessity
for the city taking over the plaintiff IS
property, the lola rooming house, and
converting 1t into "flu" hospital at
the beginning of the outbreak last
winter. Thus action was taken by the
city and the local Red Cross chapter
after consultation and advice with the
state board of health and after some
cases had developed in the house, thus
making it subject to quarantine.
After the quarantine was raised the
city employed people to clean up the
premises and paid for renovating the
mattresses and pillows and also pur-
chased new material to replace that
which was necessarily destroyed. 1t
also rendered to Mrs. Davis $500 IN
payment of any loss Mrs. Davis had
sustained, but she refused to even con.
slider their offer, and the above suit
is the outcome of the disagreement.
Mrs Davis is represented by W. 8
Furman of Grand Junction and M. J
Mayes of Glenwood, while the interests
of the various defendants in their va
rious capacities will be guarded by
City Attorney Taylor and G. w. Oar
row.
