UNIONS WOULD FORCE
CAPITAL OUT OF ROADS
Fight to Finish on Government
Ownership Is Believed
Imminent.

Washington.-The campaign of
ownership of the railroads and share
in the profits was disclosed here in it's
full scope There were three out
standing developments.
Leaders of the railway employees,
representing fourteen unionist organ
izations, informed Director General
Hines that the Plumb plan for govern
ment ownership and democratic man.
agement of business must not be linn
tied to the railroads, but must eventIl-
ally be extended to coal, steel, pack
ing and all other basic industries Of
the nation.
The threat of the rail men to force
their demands on the government was
emphasized by acting President Il.
NJ. Jewell of the railway department
Of the American Federation of Labor,
who, with other representatives of the
shopmen, conferred with President
Wilson.
'If Congress adopts the plan pro-
posed by Director General Hines and
President Wilson we will tie the rail-
ways up so tight they will never run
again. he said.
"All we can do is to prepare for the
battle. The battle is coming and we
will be ready. We expect the rail-
roads will be tied up tight in thirty
days unless our demands are settled
The railroad employees, he said,
would back ''to man" the Plumb
plan for government ownership and
tripartite control of the roalroads, by
which they would be paid for with a
per cent bond issue, and added that
eventually the Plumb plan should be
extended to the coal, steel, packing
and all basic Industries.
President Wilson, said Mr.. Jewell,
listened sympathetically to- what the
union officials had to say regarding the
situation, and appeared to recognize
it's seriousness, but did not indicate
any intention to recede from his atti-
tude that he had not the power to
grant the increases.
A defense of the Plumb plan was
issued by labor unequivocally and
formally demanding that private
capital be retired from the railroads
A tripartite control, composed of the
public, the operating management ano
the employees, is demanded instead.

Extra Session In Doubt.
Annapolis

If the newly acquired Maryland Ex-
ira Session habit persists 1t isn't un-
likely that Governor Harrington will
call in some painter to put mo Extra
Sessions Granted Today" in bold let
ters on card and hang the card on
his office door. Or, if this isn't done,
it may be necessary to establish as
part of the State government Bu-
reau for the Handling of Requests for
Extra Legislative Sessions.
The Governor is getting all sorts Of
requests to call the States lawmakers
into special session for this purpose or
that, every request insisting that the
need is urgent and that Maryland sure
ly will go to the bow-wows if the pub
lie has to wait until the first of Janu-
ary, 1920, for the august body to get
down to the affairs of state. So far
the Governor has not been impressed
by the pleas of urgent need, and an
extra session isn't likely; but that
doesn't stop the requests from flowing
in. It's getting to be safe bet now
that, whenever some particular propo-
sition is under discussion, some one
will calmly suggest Lets have an ex.
ira session." just as If he were saying,
Lets take walk around the block"
An extra session Is a simple thing to
suggest.
The first request that came to the
Governor was from the suSragists, and
they drew on the national Government
to strengthen their plea, getting Attor.
ney-General Palmer to put in bid for
them. The Governor was adamant,
however.
Then along came H. C. L. and the
startling discovery by Federal, State
and municipal officials that dollar
wasn't purchasing very much these
days. When Governor Harrington an
nounced he was going after the prob
lem, the first thing he heard was:
Call an extra session to settle It."
But he's not going to do that, at least
unless he changes his mind.
Howard Bryant got tired Of answer
ing all the letters and talking to all
the callers about rent proflteering. 30
he thought an extra session might
help the matter out, and he wrote to
the Governor accordingly. Governor
Harrington was at Cambridge, and he
said he hadn't received Mr.. Bryant's
request yet, but it isn't likely that
he'll grant that one either.
The Governor said that, despite the
several requests for extra sessions for
different purposes, he had been un-
able to find much sentiment so far for
calling the legislators together ahead
of schedule, and, outside of the suf-
fragists, very little pressure has been
brought to bear In order to secure the
call. So
So, while the requests may continue,
Maryland is probably doomed to wait
until January before her State solons
get down to the business of soloning.

Salisbury AS Factory Site.

Salisbury is undergoing critical ex-
animation by officials OF the Amer
lean Tobacco Company with view
to the location of a branch factory
in that thriving town. Thus far the
reports to the home Office of the COM
pany are favorable to the project.
The company has been attracted by
the location because of its proximity
to the fields of raw product in South
ern Maryland, in Virginia, North Car
olina and elsewhere in the South,
transportation being across the Chesa-
peake Bay from Norfolk to Cape
Charles City, and thence to Salisbury.
The towns advantages as distribute
ing point, both by water and rail. also
appeal to the company. Another fav-
orable factor is labor, which is abund-
ant, stable and economic because OF
living conditions that are cheaper than
in the North. Labor on the Eastern
Shore has not yet been organized with
unions, and hence the scarcity a.
strikes.
The enterprising people of Salisbury
are doing all within their power to
have the factory in or adjacent to
their town. They are anxious that
1t shall take the place of the Jackson
lumber mills, which will be removed
to Fayetteville, N. G. The factory
would give employment to the labor
to be jobless after the removal OF the
mill. as well as to hundreds OF men,
women and children anxious to en-
bark in the industrial life. Salisbury
now ranks as the largest and most
enterprising town on the peninsula
south of Wilmington. 1t is claimed
that the census next year will show
a population in excess of 5000. An
additional office building Of large d.
mensions will soon be erected in the
town.
