Washington. August declaring
that all the elements OF the chaos

here is at the danger point. A B.

wages and virtually accompanying the
demand with threat to strike He
criticised the Plumb plan as an ef-
fort to sovietize the railroads Of the
United States. He said:
Already the railroad employees
have threatened to strike II they are
not given an increase OF wages I. for
ore, do not favor increasing their
wages. The increase would not be
Justified in view Of the fact that the
railroads are being operated at loss
and the tax payers have TO make up
the deficit.
Accompanying their demand for
increased wages IL demand that the
industr ies of the country be sovietized.
This demand also Is accompanied by
threats Of dire disaster to the country

accepted. A vast propaganda is be-

falls to the railroad brotherhoods to
