WARP |ELD PLAN OF REORGAN|zAT|ON|S
 GIVEN COMMITTEE
By Associated Press

Washington, August H.-A plan devised by S. Davies Warfield of Baltimore, un- der which the government, in the re- organization of railroads, would provide a minimum return of 6 per cent on in- vested capital, with division of all sur plus over that amount among employees, the public and the earning roads was outlined today to the House interstate commerce committee.
 Luther M. Walter of Chicago. general counsel for the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, which sponsors the plan, discussed it's various points with the committee of five-hour session, and declared it could be put into effect at once, or certainly with the return of the roads to private con trol at the end of the year.
 The right of labor to share in the profits of the roads was laid down by MT. Walter as one of the fundamentals of the plan. He sharply challenged the contention of Glenn F. Plumb, author of the labor plan for tri-partite control, that the property investment account of the railroads would not exceed $l0,00o.- 0o0oo0 or SIP, 900, 600 900. The total would reach Si9 ,0o0.G00 or s20 900, 100000, Walter said at the same, time expressing the confident belief tthat the courts would uphold substantially this valuation
 In the general exchange of views on the present day transportation situation. MT. Walter declared the railroads would have been more successfully managed for war purposes under private control. To turn them back now, he said, reply ing to an inquiry as to whether this might help to reduce the growing deficit, would shift to the roads burden the government should bear.
 The Warfield plan would have the in- terstate commerce commission fix rates on basis which, after paying the cost of operation, would net the minimum re- turn of 6 per cent. Discussing this pro- vision. Chairman Esch. who for six months has been making a detailed study of the problem, wanted to know
 if this Congress enacted 6 law mak- ing the return per cent whether an other Congress might not increase or re- duce it. MT Walter thought not. It was not possible. he replied. and when pressed further said he did not think this ever would happen.
 The Plumb plan was characterized by MT. Waiter as "a shiboleth" which had attracted some people, but which he de- clared was impossible.
 Tt is not in line with our institutons,' be added, and could not help il adopted"

COMMUNITY STORE PLANS

1 Anniston, August 14.-(Special )-The l first definite and decided movement look ing toward reduction of living costs in Anniston was started here this week by | J. c. Collins and associates, who propose to secure partnership of 500 men at s10 each, establish community store and deal only with the stockholders on a cost, plus 10 per cent basis, and at the same time foster and encourage another
 movement designed to get after prohteer- ing landlords or what they term rent hogs"
 The plan of MT. Collins and his friends is to have a stated number of men put up money to the amount of a weeks grocery bill. pay their bills weekly buy their supplies at wholesale cost, and allow the 10 per cent suggested defray the ex- penses of clerk hire, rent, lights and delivery of the merchandise. The promoters of the plan have ad- vanced the information to about 100 An
 riston citizens in every part of the city, and the desired number of stockholders will be secured within q reasonable time according to the belief expressed Thurs day morning. The promoters argue that where a quarter sack of flour now costs the consumer 30 cents that it can be de-
 ivered at the homes of the consumer at the price of 65 cents. Sugar, meat and lard and the other commodities used by the average household are to be delv- cred at correspondingly lower price by the new plan, and the question of estab- fishing just such a store as Mir Collins
 is working on is meeting with the ap- proval and support of a surprising mum Der of people
 As a further movement and one which will attract a similar amount of atten- tion the same organization intends to get after the high rent question by some means. and 1t has been proposed by some of those who are interested that the city council be requested to enact a special license ordinance covering rental agents and property owners who are credited with having raised rents in the city to an exorbitant level
 Mir. Collins is circulating a petition in the city asking for stockholders in the community store suggested by him, and he makes the statement that he will con- tinue his efforts until the plan is either accepted or rejected by those whom he believes will be the more directly bene- fitted by the establishment of such a store.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, O., August 1I-(Special) ) Evidence of trade growth introduced last week by the announced increase in pig iron production is further emphasized by encouraging gains in the output of steel ingots and unified tonnages of United States Steel corporation The July pro- duction of ingots surpassed that of June by 2SS 957 tons. exceeding the gain of June over May
 Unified orders of the corporation on July M amounted to 5,57S,66 tons an in crease of 6S5,S0S tons over total for June 70, appreciably topping the June ad- advance over the last days figures for May. In view of these gratifying re- ports the accelerated improvement which began With notable recovery of business in June bids fair to continue unless the influence of labor unrest, which now menaces certain districts is more gen. orally felt by industry.
 President Wilson's stern rebuke to the striking shopmen has checked tempor- arily at least what promised to be an alarming development.
 Valley sheet mills have sufficient orders to warrant steady operation into the fourth quarter Orders are being booked in Pittsburg at the rate of 9 G00 tons GGilv. Although leading bar manufactur- CTS in pittsburg are quoting steel bars at g B, there is talk of higher prices. Pipe ana wire makers are well supplied with orders. It is reported that the railroad administration contemplates placing an order for 100000 tons of standard rails Brisk buying of pig iron is reported in the various markets. From 800 to 10000 tons of foundry iron was purchased by the Central Foundry company. Important inquiries include 290O for 1920 for the Es- sex Foundry company, 1000 tons for the Worthington Pump and Machinery cor pora ton. and amounts estimated from o0o0 to 200,000 tons for export. About 4c. eco tons of foundry and malleable inon were booked by two Buffalo interests dur ing the week.
 Sales aggregating about 7500 tons are re- ported by New England dealers, and Philadelphia reports sales of 20o0 tons. Most far-reaching manifestation of labor unrest appeared at ore docks of Minne sota, where a strike of +. 900 railroad and dock workers tied up POO bulk freight CTS. Unless this situation is remedied within few days many furnaces and steel works depending upon lake ore, ne- gotiating for $50.0oo.o00 of railway sup plies contracts, some of which have been signed contingent upon a satisfac- tory credit arrangement.-The Daily Iron Trade Review.
