Congress, Speaker Tells
Traffic Club of New York

Scathing criticism of the attitude of
the Federal government and the labor
unions on the transportation question,
remuneration of the Plumb plan and
an appeal for simpler living and fewer
strikes formed the backbone of an ad
dress delivered by Senator Lawrence
I. Sherman, Republican, of Illinois,
before more than 1000 members of the
lraftlc Club of New York at the Wal
dorf-Astoria last night.
he termed the Plumb plan an Gin
pudent proposal to tax 10O,OOO,0o0 peo-
pie for the benefit of 100000 en-
ployes, leading to Lviet government
under which no civilzcd people could
survive" Railroad employees had no
more right to go OH strike than police
men or flremen, argued the Senator.
Faithful Service Endangered
81 cannot believe the great body of
railway employees will follow the lead
of their radical leaders," declared the
speaker, They know where such
scheme 4uld place them. Merit, pro-
motion and reward for long and faith
1ul service would be supplanted by
tavoritisn1 through coterie of auto
cratic leaders operating under iron
clad rules. 1t is we'll known a large
number Of the brotherhood is opposed
to the whole legislative programme of
government ownership at Washington. :"
Touching on the food situation Sem
ator Sherman declared that within fifty
years Americans might be worrying
how to feed themselves let alone the
peoples of other countries. He en-
phasized the need for increased pro-
duction and declared himself uncom-
promisingly opposed to the attack be-
ing waged on the packers. If kept up
1T would discourage production and
might mean that America would be-
come a meatless nation, he argued
More goods and simpler habits we're
the only solution for high prices
/ Strikes, socialism. government owner
ship and "kindred humbugs" did moth
ing but excmplify the folly, avarice and
chronic delusions affecting mankind
he declared.
Referring to the governmental con-
troll of railways, the Senator said:
"The government has rot met the de
mands upon it. Neither does it com
pare favorably with private operation
The service is below the average. II
has no initiative, no enterprise ant
little energy.
"Epitaph Of Activity"
"The government possesses no power

political pull. An entry into depart
mental service at Washington is tn,
epitaph of activity or progress. 1t is
rapidly becoming a question of whethe
the American people will have a gov
ernment of the people or of groups o
classes of the people
Senator Sherman charged that tn,
American Federation of Labor and the
heads of the railway employees pro
posed to govern the United States ant
that they are engaged in en- active
campaign to coercc Congress for o.
against legislation. He said they meal
to nominate those who would indorst
such legislation as was recommended
by the combined heads of the labor
