Rail CAPITAL OUT
Organized Labor Comes Out for
Naturalization of Lines.
Would Substitute Tri-partite
CONTROLLED People in on 1t.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-Orga -ized Il =
Dor was before the nation today with
a demand that prIva4 X Ne.---~
tired from railroad opcr9 t'0n
there be substituted a tri-partite con-
troll of the railroad properties W tHe
public, the operating management and
the employees
The demand of organized labor, pre-
scented in a statement signed by the
engineers, firemen, conductors and the
American Federation of Labor was
recognized today in Washington as the
most far-reaching proposal yet placed
before the nation during it's recon-
struction period. Officials refused TO
predict its outcome. Tomorrow 1t will
be formally laid before the house in
terstate commerce committee by War
rem S. Stone, grand chief OF the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers,
Frank Orrison, secretary of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and Glenn
Z. Plum, general counsel for the Or
ganized Railways of America.
In eliminating private capital from
the railroads the labor plan not only
proposes but demands that the present
private owners be reimbursed with
government bonds for every honest
dollar that they have invested" that
the public. the operating manage
ments and labor share equally in cor
porations to take over the railroads
and that in all revenues in excess of
the guarantee to private capital, the
operators and employees share one-half
and the public receive the other half"
either by increasing the means for
service without increasing fixed
charges or by reducing the cost of
the service which the machinery then
in Service can render.

OF Budapest and expect to reach that
city tonight and Jugo-Slav forces are
also advancing upon Budapest. accord
ing to a Vienna dispatch received here.
Itsis stated that the Rumanians have
captured many communist leaders at
the Hungarian capital.
The Rumanian official statement,
which declared that the people of
Budapest greeted Rumanian forces
with enthusiasm" fails to agree with
specials to Berlin newspapers which
say that the approach OF the Ruman-
ians caused terror in the city.

SETTLE BOLIVAR CLAIM
; Disposes of Matter First
Brought Up in 1914.


After hanging fire since 1914, the
claim of c. P. Bolmar against the city
for damages due to a sewer being
constructed across land belonging to
him. was settled by the city commits
sioners today.
Bolmar was allowed his claim of
$3.50 in payment for the sewer right
of-way and other damages. The pay
ment was made today and the deed
turned over to the city clerk for reg
istration.
Since 1914 Bolmar has made every
consistent effort to get what he be-
lieved to be an equitable settlement
on this claim. His patience and per-
sistent efforts have been finally re-
warded. For a number Of years the
matter has been brought before the
commissioners almost monthly.
Various settlements proposed met
with disapproval by either Bolmar or
the city commissioners. At no time
have both sides of the controversy
met in complete harmony. Many
promises have been made by commits
sioners at various times but nothing
was ever accomplished towards bring
ing the transaction toA a satisfactory
close
Several months ago Mayor Corwine
told Bolmar in a commission meeting
that the matter would be settled de-
cisively by July 4. The matter was
not completed until today. BoImar' s
five-year effort to obtain settlement
resulted finally in his receiving $3.50.

10000 to Go Out In Twin Cities.
st. Paul, MINI. Aug. 5.-Between
eight and ten thousand shipment in
the Twin Cities and about 5000 en-
ployes by railroads thruout the north
west were to strike today, according to
Paul shopmen voted almost unani-
mously last night to strike.
The action was taken despite efforts
OF union officials to get the men to
await the nationwide strike vote
called for August "a. Failure of nego-
tiatio1s at Washington to bring imme-
date wage increases or immediate re-
duction of living costs is blamed for
the strike call.
Walkout of the shopmen will Sc
riously affect every railroad running
into the Twin cities and will probably
disrupt transcontinental train service
ever the northern routes. officials said

Coal Men Unable to Get Cars,

Washington. Aug. 5.-Danger of a

were seeking some way to get the coal

winter makes I acute.
Assert Issue Is Grave.
That the fuel question is rapidly
becoming grave was the assertion of
Senator's Hitchcock and Pomerene to-
day. They pointed out that 1t is so
closely linked with the railroad situa-
ton and has such direct bearing on
the cost Of living that it must, If
possible. be settled before autumn.

GINA have informed me-" said Pom

one man wrote that the entire out
put Of his mines for this year had
been contracted for. that he has plenty
of labor. but that he is unable to get
cars.
.Tf this situation doesn't change.
miners will be out of work and next
winter mills will shut down, business

Will result
II know of one coal company in
West Virginia which right now is I'm
able to supply railroad coal II has con-
tracted to sell in New England because
It can't get cars"
But Ono of Many Problems.
Hitchcock said Ire fears the coal
problem is but one of a number of
domestic questions which will soon
add themselves to the worries of con-
Eress." He predicted a strong move
ment for naturalization of both mines
and railroads, such as has developed
in England.
Senator Kellogg. Minnesota, also
views the situation as grave. He de-
clared that of 1OO.0 cars contracted
for by the railroad administration but
10000 were delivered in 1919.
