Say what you please of Glenn T.. Plumb,
author Of organized labor's plan for control
of the railroads, he stated his aims before the
congressional interstate commerce committee
in two theses which are sound. He said that
the purpose of the railroad unions is ito
eliminate the motive of operation for profit
and substitute the motive of operation for
service" This goes to the root of the
matter. When editors say that the unions
want TO operate the railroads for them
selves. and hence are no better than the
Wall Street gentlemen who manipulated the
roads for themselves, il is hardly fair, and
seems like hitting below the belt. Labor
is not wholly self-seeking, any more than all
capitalists are robbers. Some In each class
doubtless are sordid, unconscientious and
greedy but the mass Of men are fair, in the
directors room as well as in the switch
yards.
And there is no doubt that in the end,
transportation, which is the very veins and
arteries of public life, must be removed from
the hands OF any group smaller than the
Whole People. Just as no king, however
good can be trusted with absolute political

WHY TEACHER SHORTAGE,

Editor The Star: My attention
was called TO an article In regard
to the appalling shortage Of teach

not even passed qualifying exami-
nations. and many of these are be-
Ing paid more than was received

others. would like 70 ask why this

scores OF splendid women have

board for no other reason than be-
cause these women have just had
a 10th birthday.

power, 80 no man or limited class Of men,
whether capitalists or laborers, can safely
be trusted with the railways, which are vital
to the common good. Some day, some time,
we, the Whole People, must shoulder the
responsibility of the ownership and con-
troll Of, and the responsibility for, this SO
great and public business.
Only we must do ii by law and reason,
by cooperation and in good nature, like
Americans, and not by violence and class
hate, like Bolsheviks.
The other statement Mr.. Plumb made is
that his purpose is democracy in industry,
without which democracy in politics is a
mere shell and sham" And democracy
means two things: First, that the people
get what they want, and second, that they
get this in an orderly and constructive
way, by representative government, and
without violence and destruction.
No class legislation is democracy. " the
labor unions want class favors they are not
democratic, and are just as bad as junkers
and bureaucrats. Thru Mr.. Plumb they as
sert they do not want class privilege. Let
US believe them. We shall get nowhere if
we continually believe all men are liars.
