 4. Full control of rates by the In- terstate Commerce Commission.
 5. Rates to be scaled down to keep Government earnings within five per cent. of gross operating income.
 G.. Wages to be fixed by the Board of Directors.
 7. Extensions to be constructed at the joint expense of locality benefited and the government, the amount of each depending upon relative public and private benefits.

 10. Careful safeguarding of the in terests of the public as well as opera tors and investors.
 Such plan, for our country at pres ent, at least, will probably be better solution of our natural emergency than the common one abroad of con- bined public ownership and public op- eration. The evils of private capital ism can be met by public ownership; the evils of bureaucracy and state so- cialism can be met by unified private operation in we'll devised plan. The good points of both can be secured. The road is forward, not backward, and leads to evolution not revolution.

STREET RAILWAY COMPANY GRANTS
 WAGE INCREASE
Receiver for Company Issues Statement Commenting Elm ployes for Their Sacrifices and Consideration in Time of Trouble

HARTFORD - Harrison B. Free man, receiver for the Hartford and Spring ngfeld Street Railway Company, has issued the following statement:
 rb Genn amd nrggged hrga5t sges Railway Company has granted an in- crease in wages to it's motormen and conductors amounting to an average of twelve per cent: over it's pr present ne of compensation had become necessary on account of the increased cost of living but the rate is still below that paid to trolley men in either Hartford or Springfield.
 The Employees Association of the Hartford and Springfield Street Rail way Company has accepted this ad- justment of their wage schedule, rec ognizing the financial difficulties in which the street railway is and real izing that the earnings of the Com pany were not large enough to pay the l wages which are being paid by more prosperous companies.
 | Recognition of the action of the men in accepting this wage schedule be made for the public should understand that the employees of the street rail- way are doing their part in keeping the Hartford and Springfield system running and are making sacrifice in so doing. It is worthy of note in these days when there are so many strikes on our street railways and bitter con troversies between the employees and new new wage schedule was adjusted with out strike and in fact without fric- tion or feeling between the Employees Association and the management, T. T. l. i've attitude adopted by the men and their desire to give both the railway company and the public a square deal.
 It was felt that strike resulting in both loss of wages to the men and loss of earnings to the Street Railway Company and engendering bad feeling on both sides and resent ment by the public on account of in- terruption of service would do the Hartford and Springfield Street Rail way Company no good and the new out any threat or ultimatum by either side after full and fair presentation of the facts by both the officials of the ecutive Committee of the Employees Association.
 It is only fair that the public should understand this situation and credit be given to the Employees Asso- citation for it's fair, and in these days unusual, attitude in an industrial dis pute.

ARTHUR HENDERSON WILL TOUR THE
 UNITED STATES
Noted Union Leader and Secre. tary of British Labor Party Will Arrive in October = Speaks With Authority

NEW YORK-"Arthur Henderson is coming" England's noted trade union leader and secretary of the British Labor Party will arrive in Oct ober to make an extended lecture tour of the United States, it is definitely announced at the headquarters of the Henderson Lecture Committee of the American Labor Party, 2 West 18th street, New York city.
 The statement was also made by William Kohn, party chairman, that all central labor bodies of Greater New York have appointed special committees to join with the Labor Party in promoting the success of Mir Henderson's visit.
 Will Visit Great Industrial Centers
 Plans are under way, with the CO., operation of state and central feder- ated unions and local branches of the new Labor Party, for an extended itinerary which will carry MT. Hen derson to all the great industrial cities of the country. He is expected in his public addresses to deal with labor problems and social unrest in the new order arising out of the war. /
 Margaret Bondfield's Statement
 Miss Margaret Bondfeld, who has just returned to England after two months in the United States, as first woman fraternal delegate from the Trades Union Congress of Great Brit ain to the American Federation of La bor, when informed of MT. Tender sons acceptance of the Labor Party invitation, authorized statement just before sailing. in which she declared that MT. Henderson's mission has the of ho P,S+ 1oI ment and that he will speak authori- tatively for the masses of workers in her own country.
 Member of Ironfounders' Union
 Arthur Henderson's coming visit to the United States in October, as an- nounced by the American Labor Party" Miss Bondfeld declares, "has the warm approval of the trade union secretary of our British Labor Party, himself life member and a tower of strength in the Ironfounders' Union, will assured2y bring much of inspira- tion and practical labor statesmanship to all American workers who are seek ing in their own way to meet the is- sues of the new day and bring about a larger measure of industrial democ- racy through the orderly processes of political action. And we in turn shall count upon his mission among our CO., workers and friends in these States proving most fruitful to our own movement. MT. Henderson's years of consistent and faithful service to the trade union cause in England (which is older and therefore should have something of ripe experience and eff fort which the American movement might study) should bespeak for him the most fraternal consideration throughout his American tour. I as- sure you he speaks with the voice of the great masses of British working men and women"

Manager Rice's Statement

During an. interview with repre- sentative of Hartford daily paper, MT. Rice is reported to have said:
 "On Wednesday, July 23 at II a. m., MT. Furey was given hearing by me at my office lasting one hour and ten minutes, and on the following We'd nesday, July 30th at II a. m., MT. Furey was given another interview lasting fifty minutes. On Wednesday, August 6, MT. Furey sought still another interview by telephone, but it could not be granted as I was absent from the plant from 10:30 a. m. un- rey's statement evidently had been given to the press. On Thursday, Au- gust 21, another national conciliator, l.. R. Thomas, called on me and was courteously received and was given an interview lasting twenty minutes. These statements can be verified by witnesses.
 "The statement that I refused to discuss matters with employees is ab- solutely false, as A. P. Krone, chair man of the press committee, is fully aware of because he, when an Under wood employe, with number of asso- ciate workmen sat in conference with myself and others of our organization.
 "In regard to the allegation that former employees of the Underwood company are being prevented from se- curing work in other plants, there is no justification in fact for such asser- tions. After the signing of the ar mistice number of local plants were compelled to reduce their working force to such an extent that between six and eight thousand operatives were laid off. This afforded an oppor- tunity for other plants in the city to secure sufficient help to meet their re- quirements. Tn view of this 1t would have been impossible for local factor ies to employ the more than four thousand operatives, who became un-

coordination with waterways, in act ing as preventive of industrial de- pressions, and in it's ease and justice of management?
 Private enterprise built the railways of the United States, England, part of France, and of several other coun- tries. This was great achievement We can, however, make a valid and undertaking criticism of the enor- nous social waste and injury to the public of such unsystematic, and rather haphazard railway building as we have had. Roads have been built to be bought out; they have been con- structed where they were not and will not for a long time be needed; they have been built as mere competitors, eliminating, for instance, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land from productivity by needless roadbed, paralleling another right of way that was wide enough for double or even more tracks. Double tracks on single roadbed are, of course, far more efficient than two single-track roads. A system of public ownership would never have tolerated such de- struction of public wealth in land and transportation facilities. Where roads in other countries have been built with a national plan and purpose, as to a large extent, in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, great social savings are possible, and a real system of railways results.
 But our roads were built when rail- way executives could offer fabulous speculative returns to investors be- cause they could determine and con- trol rates. Since the Interstate Com merce Commission has been given in-
