ALTON TO BACK PROPOSALS.
End of Private Profits Sought BY
decentralization To Be Placed
in Hands of Coneress-Triumvirat
of Union Provided For BY Project
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Or Organized labor came
out with the unequivocal, formal ue-
mand that private capital be retifeu
from the railroads. A tripartlte con-
trol composed of the public, the oper-
ating management and the employees
is demanded instead. Addressed ~
the American public and signed py inc
engineers, the firemen, the conductors
and the American Federation OF Lapor'
q formal statement was issued an
nouncing this proposal, which VIII DC
carried before Congress. III marks'
saws the statement, 1.-THE step by Whlcii
organized labor passes from dehlahus
for wage increases to demands that
the system of profits in industry DC
nvarbauled." This sentence sums up
in a few words the proposal, OF which
there have been hints and indlcatlohs'
but which now is laid before the couh-
try for the first time.
EVERYWHERE in official Washington IL
is recognized as being the most serl-
ous and far-reaching proposition the
country will be called upon to race.
Chara cterizing the proposal as iapor
hill" it is put forth to be remedy lor
The high cost of living, because, 1t ~
said, the railroads are the key lhdus-
trvo of the nation 1t demands the
genuine cooperation and partnership
based on a real community OF interest
and participation in control" OF Whlch
President Wilson spoke to Congress,
and which, the statement says, mas
been ignored by labor and the private
owners of the railroads. I'VE ask, 1t
says that the railroads of the United
States be vested in the public; that
those actually engaged in conducting
that industry, not from Wall street,
but from the railroad offices and YARDS
and out ON the railroad lines, snail
take charge of this service for the
public
Briefly, Iabor's plan demands That
private capital be eliminated from the
railroads. That the private owners re-
ceiye for them Government bonds
with a fixed interest return for every
honest dollar that they have invested"
That the tripartite control, hereto
fore referred to, be established in cor
porations which shall lease the roads
and in which the public, the operating
arrangements and labor shall be rep
resented equally. That the public, the
operators and the wage earners share
equally all revenue in excess of the
guarantee to private capital, by grant
ing to the operators and the employees
one-half the savings which are expect
ed to be made by such a perfected or
ganization and to the public the other
half as consumers, either by increas-
ing service without adding costs or by
reducing costs. "This role originates
with labor says the statement. be
cause labor happens to have firm or
CARNATIONS through which it may be-
come articulate" The trainmen are
not represented in the statement, as
w. G. Lee, president of the brother
hood, was out of the city, but it was
said that he would join in it.

The Plumb plan is backed by the
four great railroad brotherhoods,
which have a membership of 2,0O0,000
employees.
Chicago.-A complete tie-up Of the
railroads of the country is probable,
in the opinion of NJ. L. HaWver, Presl-
dent of the Chicago District Council OF
the Federated Railway Shopmen's
Union, which called a strike of shop
crafts. He returned from Washington
and declared the strike is spreading
rapidly and that the unrest among rail-
way workers is so general that the
movement has overwhelmed the inter
national officers of the various unions
involved
Advices from Cleveland were that
the Executive Board Of the American
Federation of Railway Workers, with
membership of 10000, chiefly I'M
skilled laborers, in Cleveland and the
east, had decided to strike according
to Mr. Hawver.
The Maintenance of WyInen's Union
also is preparing to strike, it was said.
With more than 250,O00 shopmen on
strike and the number increasing, both
President Hawver and Secretary John
d. Saunders declared railroad sched-
ules and industry would be crippled
seriously within a few days.
Additions to the strike of shOpmen
reported by Secretary Saunders were
the Illinois Central shops at Memphis
and Kankakee; Lake Erie and West
ern, whole system; Wabash, whole sys-
tenn, and Indiana IIarbor Belt Line,
whole system.
Advices stated, according to the Sec
rotary, that all men on the Chicago
and Western Indiana and the Iron
Range lines will go out and those of
all roads entering Indianapolis will
also strike.

Seven Rural Routes
Have Been Cut Out

There seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the number OF ru-
raj mail routes that have been dis
continued throughout the county un-
der the recent change. There have
been seven routes in the county dis
continued, the remaining routes at the
Offices effected have been made to
take care of the patrons on these
seven routes. The discontinuance OF
these routes will be saving to the
government of home than ten thous-
and dollars annually, we are inform
ed, and under the new plan it is stat
ed that large number of families
will be supplied than were under the
old plan.
Patrons on the newly arranged
routes are requested to be patient
until the carriers get FAMILIAR with
same. There will possibly be several
hundred changes necessary through
out the county and it will require sew
eral weeks to get everything running
smoothly again.

GIRLS GLLEE CLUB
RECITAL AT TUSCULUM

"Open Wide the Gates of Spring"
was an appropriate opening chorus
for the concert given by the Girls
Glee Club of Tusculum College on
Monday evening. The spirit of spring
was in the air; the spring blossoms
and ferns used in decorating, the gay
dresses of the girls, and the merry
songs of summer, accumulated it.
The club, which has been organized
only a few months, is composed oil
fourteen girls. Their songs were
chosen we'll within the range of their
voices, and the program was very en-
not sing quite so well as. we have
heard them, probably becausH of the
rather unresponsive audience or the
illness of one of the leading mem
bers. A club or an individual tn DIS it
difficult to sing to unsympathetic
hearers. However, the poise of the
club seemed not to be disturbed in
the least and the program was given
with apparent enjoyment.
1t is sad commentary on musical
taste that the last number, Eli
waiian Melodies" was the most pop
ular one. While it is the type of song
that one expects to hear in college
dormatories and around the campus
during leisure hours, it is hardly what
an audience, and especially college
community, should applaud loudest
Perhaps the popularity of wartime

REVIVAL AT HARDING CHAPEL

Our revival meeting at Hardin's
Chapel closed Sunday night. 1t was
successful meeting. Most all SEEM
ed to enjoy the old time religion.
Sinners were truly convicted of their
sins and mourners were converted to
God with such single evidence of their
renewed life in Christ as they did not
need to be told they were saved.
There were sixteen saver and the
church greatly revived. 1t was an
old-time revival of religion. Back
sliders were blessed with such definite
consciousness of Gods saving grace
that they became happy public wit
nesses of a saving Christ. The good
people of Hardin's Chapel made us
feel that we had a warm welcome in
their homes. Since we moved to the
parsonage the good people of the
Alton charge have put 500 worth OF
furniture in the parsonage. Mrs. E.
A. Haworth and Miss Fannie Without
visited the congregation and made up
the money. We appreciate the nice
things. May Gods richest blessings
rest upon them all.
If there ever was time in the his
tory of the world that men should
pray, it is now. Paul exhorted, there
fore, that first of all applications
prayers intercessions, thanksgivings
be made for all men. And that mer
should pray in every place, lifting W
holy hands without wrath and doubt

songs has brought this about, but the
err class of music should not be
allowed to suffer since there ave OPP
portunities to hear all kinds and none
need be neglected.
With the number of good voices
that are in the club and the general
musical knowledge and ability of the
members, some very high classed en-
tertainments can be expected of them
in the future. For only one years
work as full of interruptions as this
one has been, we feel that the club
has accomplished as much as could
have been expected of any such or
ganization.
