ton of the railway problem.
Testifying before the Senate Inter

recommended that the government nc-
quire all railroad property at a price
fairly representing the physical valu-
alton, and cntrust the operation to a
corporation to he directe: Jointly by
employees. officers and the govern
ment Earnings would be divided
equally among employees. and the gov

be reduced when profits amounted 10
more than a iixeC rate.

This plan. 1t was argued. would pro-

The brotherhoods objected TO the

against the railroad administrations

taking part in politics. arguing that
the solution of the railway problem is
a political issue. and that employees
are entitled 10 participate.
SUGGESTS ONE GREAT

Mr.. Plumb suggested organization of

"A certain agreed percentage of the
