Huddleston Acts on
Rail Inquiry Demand
Offers Resolution In House for
Probe of Charges Made
bv Plumb
NeW York Tribune .

NeV 4 LOFh TfOuHO
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug IA resolu-
ton asking an inquiry into the charges
Of railroad looting made before the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee this week by Glenn
f. Plumb, author of the Plumb plan
for taking over the railroads, was in
troduced in the House to-day by Rep
resentative Huddleston, of Alabama.
The resolution asks for the appoint
ment of a committee of six to report
as follows:
l. Whether it is true, as charged.
that the railroads have fraudulently
issued vast sums in securities in
excess of the consideration paid
therefor, and, if so, the extent of
such usurpation.
2. Whether it is true, as charged,
that such railroads have expended on
their properties out of excess earn
ings large amounts received BY them
as payment for such service, and, if
how far such expenditures are now
represented in their investment ac-
counts.
8. Whether it is true, as charged,
that gifts, gi--ss.s, aids and dona-
tions of great value made to said
corporations in aid of the construc-
tion of their railways have been ap-
propriated to the private benefit of
promoters or capitalized against the
public in property investment ac-
counts, and, if so, to what extent.
a. Whether it is true, as charged,

Were Cited Against Ford

An editorial with the caption Ford
Is an Anarchist" published in "The
Chicago Tribune" in June, 1916. caused
Henry Ford to begin in the Chicago
courts suit for $1,00O0OO against
"The Tribune" alleging libel
Subsequently he withdrew the suit in
Wayne County (Detroit), Mich. Notice
was served upon the Solomon News
Company, the distributors of "Thc Tri-
bune," in Michigan. The newspaper
then obtained change of venue from
Wayne to Macomb County,
The trial opened in Mount Clemens,
county seat of Macomb. May l3, before
Circuit Judge James G. Tucker and a
jury OF farmers. Alfred Lucking, long
the personal counsel of Ford. headed
the automobile makers counsel, while
Elliott G. Stevenson, like Lucking a
leader of the Detroit bar, led "The
Trbune's" legal array.
The Tribune editorial was pub
lished during the unplcasantness with
Villa on the Mexican border and was
based upon Mr.. Ford's ~'cputed policy
of refusing to hold open Jobs for en-
ployes of his plant who rallied to the
American flag on that occasion.
During the trial the defence put into
ments opposing preparedness printed
in newspapers throughout the country
in the months preceding Americas entry
into the war. Mr.. Ford admitted on
the stand that he had authorized the
views expressed in these ADVERTISE
ments, penncd, he said, by Theodore
Delavigne, 'Detroit Free Press" re-
porter, who was his peace propaganda
press agent.
Mr.. Fords alleged assertion that he
intended to haul down the American
flag from his plant when the war was
over and substitute flag of human
ity." and his supposed advocacy of a
world federation as opposed to nation
allsm and patriotism were urged by
The Tribune" as justification for the
editorial Justification for the charge
that he was an ignorant dealist" was
sought through cross examining Mr..
Ford himself on details of American
history and civics.
"Who was Benedict Arnold ?" Mr..
Stevenson asked him on one occasion.
He was a writer.' Mr. Ford replied.
81 think he worked for me-"
He defined anarchy as "opposing the
vernment-throwing bombs," history
as bunk war as "murder," a mobile
army as "a large army mobilzed an
army ready to be mobilzed," and an
ldealst as "one who makes profits for
other people" and said he had consid-
cred having the Bible rewritten.
At the trial The Tribune" attempted
to justify its editorial by showing that
the term "anarchist" fitted one who de-
cried nationalism and preparedness,
and that MIR. Ford was, in fact. both
ignorant and an anarchist. The trial
lasted thirteen weeks

3 Held Charged With
Plot to Gust Curran5a

NEW ORLEANS, Aug l4-What
was believed by government officers to
have been plot to overthrow the
Carranza government Of Mexico was
disclosed here to-day with the arrest
of Colonel Fernando Villars and Colo
mel Augustin Flored, former officers Of
the Mexican Federal army, and Eucario
Huerta, an employe of the Mexican
custom house at Vera Cruz.
The men were charged with violating
the section of the espionage act re-
lating to the circulation Of propag ganda
against friendly government. The
arrests were made by Department Of
Justice agents who had been watching
the activities of the trio since their
arrival here three weeks ago. They
were locked up in the parish prison
pending further investigation.
Among their effects was found a
quantity of propaganda against the
present government of Mexico, accord
ing to Federal officers. Government
agents stated that more arrests might
follow
New-York tribune., 1919-08-15


by the people, but no expressions that
might indicate the attitude Of the peo-
pie on the subject were heard. Gov
ernmcnt officials did not discuss the
subject. The Foreign Office, after Civ
ing out the texts Of the American note
and Mexicos reply, said there was
nothing else for publication. Prcsi-
dent Carranza has cancelled all engage
ments because Of illness that confines
him to bed. The President was said
to have suffered from overwork and
anxiety during the long Illness of nis
wife, who recently was taken to her
former home in the State of Coahuila
for convalescencc.
At the American Embassy it was
said that publication Of the notes here
by the newspapers was the first knowl-
edge the embassy had that they had
been given out.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-15

furnish a return from rates of not less
than 8 per cent. When two-thirds of
the excess earned by individual car
riers over 6 per cent upon their prop
erty investment has been placed in the
excess earnings fund, there will remain
to the carriers average earnings of
5.78 per cent, or only ID per cent more
adequate in the public needs and for
the railroad needs. The Supreme Court
at it's last term held in the Lincoln
Gas case that the return of per cent
on the property devoted to the public
use was the minimum which the law
would permit.
"The second fundamental of the
Wartield plan is that labor shall par
ticipate in the earnings Of the carriers
We believeo capital is entitled to its
return of six per cent, that labor is en-
titled to !; fair wage, and that the ex-
cess earned by the carriers, after pay
ing fair wages and per cent upon
capital, should be divided with labor
and the public.
Insurance System Urged
"Labor's share should be used for the
establishment of the insurance system
or for profit sharing. By reason Of the
largely increased duties which will fall
upon the commission the security hold
ers ask Congress to create six regional
interstate commerce commissions, sub
ordinate to the commission, but with
all the powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in their respective
territories.
"Our plan contemplates that these
regional COMMISSIONS shall act as
boards of conciliaton in settling wage
disputes, being body close to the en-
ployes, the carriers and the shippers.
"The issuance of securities of all
carriers engaged in interstate com
merce would be vested exclusively in
Federal authority.
FINALLY, the Warfied plan would
create a corporation operated without
profit to the railroads and managed by
the railroads. This corporation would
furnish expert advice to the commits
sion in the operation of carriers, would
unity terminals, would operate equip
ment such as has been built by the
administration and allocated to
the individual railroads. 1t would fur
nish great clearing house for rail
road operation and in times of emerg-
ency would constitute the directing
force for the handling of the railroads
as a single system.
"Our association is opposed to the
Federal incorporation of
railroads, to the provision for new
Cabinet officer, or for a Federal trans
portation board or any board having
supervisory powers over the Interstate
Commerce Commission"

Ford Open to Criticism"
II think that Henry Ford, by his
pupiic acts and utterances upon the
dlherent phases of the questions re-
iatlng to the war, to the national de-
renee and to the enforcement and pro-
lection OF the rights Of American citi-
zens--posslbly not to the war at that
tlme. as the world war had not then
com nienced, | mean we were not in it;
thnt you will treat this question as it
eNlssed at the time prior to our entry
INTO the world war, OF course-ren-
dered his views and his conduct in this
respect open to comment or fair
iS IL III W liluQISc III SuCn
criticism was one which was possessed
not only by the Tribune company, but
by any citizen, for the question was
one of public interest and one which
was being discussed by Henry Ford as
such. Those who, like the Tribune
company, differed from Henry Ford
upon those questions have the same
right which he claimed for himself, of
attacking his Judgment, his views, his
conduct and the result which would be
accomplished by the theories which he
advocated, if successful.
They might not, however, attack
his private character, but the person
attacked may form part of fair com
ment if it be warranted by them or is
a reasonable inference from them.
Nor should such criticism exceed the
bounds of fair comment, as explained
to you heretofore, what fair comment
really is. Within those bounds they
must keep, whether newspaper or in
divdual.
ut is, Of course, we'll known that at
the time the editorial was published
the National Guard has been called

Men Vote Against Re-
turning to Fork: Fear
Expulsion From Union

NEW HAVEN, Aug. l4.-Upsetting
the forecast that they would vote to
end their strike, the 5000 shopmen and
mechanics of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad have de-
clded to continue the walkout. it was
announced this afternoon after a meet
ing of committee of employees of
the railroad. This committee was in
session here all day counting the bal
lots which were cast earlier in the
week by members Of the six crafts
which are involved in the strike.
Robert Henderson, of Boston. secre-
tary Of the system federation Of the
New Haven road, who announced the
result, declined to give the vote by
crafts or to indicate whether it was
close. Mr.. Henderson said the Amer
lcan Federation of Labor had been re-
quested to send B. NJ. Jewell. chairman
of the railroad employees department
of the Federation, to New England to
consult with the committees as to the
conduct of the strike. Mr. Henderson
indicated that many of the strike lead
ers were alarmed over the possibility
of wholesale eXpulsions from the inter
national organization as a result of the
vote not to return to work.
The balloting Of the six crafts was
done at Providence, New Haven. Read
vile, Mass. and Van Nest, N. Y, and
members of the four locals composed
the committee which counted the votes.
