DECLARES PLUMB PLAN
WORSE THAN SOCIALISM,
Senator Smith, OF Georgia, Says
Unfairness Should &c Clear

Speaker Urges Workers Cannot Ar

WASHINGTON. August IS. - The
Plumb plan for tripartite control OF
railroads was opposed in the Senate to-
day by Senator Smith. Democrat. or
Georgia. who declared IL is "unrca-
sonable" and socialistic Senator Smith

to a communication asking his sup
port Of the plan.
wrote. "and if il ever becomes live
enough in the Senate TO require it, |
shall freely expose its indcfensiblc
features.
This proposition is SO unreal that
It's unfairncss should he clear to the
operators Of the railroads. II is worse
than socialism. The Socialists plan Is
TO have all the people own and all the
people operate the industries for the
benefit OF all the people. The Plumb
plan is to nave all the people own tho
railroads. and one eleventh OF the peo-
pie operate them for their own benct;.
and burden the balance Of the people
TO any extent they may sec ht
"Railroad employees ought not To
support it. They cannot afford TO put
themselves in the position Of s"ekinG
unfair advantage over the balance Of
their fellow citizens. Justice and right
should contro1 ali. mi II would DC un-
just for nc-clevnnth OF the people TO
take the railroads and use them for
their own benefit with unrcstraincd au-

The curtain finally fell for the last
time on that revival performance of
La Fora del Destino," and with
Caruso and de Luca and Mardones
and Chalmers I went before the as
semblage to acknowledge my appre-
citation of their presence. I felt
calm enough, somehow; 1 had not
experienced a feeling of excitement
at any time during the evening. I
dare say, however, that this was no
more than a form of nervousness.
1t was when 1 at length reached
my dressing-room that the period
of relaxation began. Until reached
my apartment I had not returned
| to state of being more or less nor
NAL. Then I knew that one of two
things had happened: that had sue
ceeded or-failed. Although friends
assured me 1 might rest content, L
was not satisfied until the morning
papers arrived with the critical re-
views.
No one who has not received a YER
dict in the dispassionate form of
cold print can comprehend what it
does to one to read of success in at
tanning the hearts desire. 1 read
each criticism, as a starved person
might consume suddenly acquired
food. with the gray light of dawn
creeping in at my apartment WIN
| dows.
Then I crawled thankfully into bed
to drop into the deep sleep which
| follows some great effort. And I
dreamed of those days in which 1 had
plodded along the pathway to the
goal had yearned to reach; days Of
trials and of rewards, of incessant
work which would sometimes carry
me forward or-as work which
brings progress often will-push me
momentarily backward.
In my next article shall tell of
how came to select singing ca
reer and the early experiences which
started me on the way TO the point
which is the objective of thousands
OF my country folk-young women
