PLUMB PLAN IS
COPY OF SOVIET
0H|0AN CHARGES
Fess Declares Plan of Broth
erhood is Worse Than Gov
eminent Ownership.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. - Repre-
sentative Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio,
Chairman OF the Republican Congress
sional committee, who has received
many letters from advocates OF the
plan Of Glenn e. Plumb for tripartite
control Of American railroads in a
statement issued today made plain his
position on the proposal.
The Plumb plan," he said, "smacks
too much of the Russian Soviet sys-
tenn. OF which it is fairly good copy,
to Americans. The plan is worse than
government ownership, bad as that is,
in that 1t seeks power to command all
to do the bidding of the brotherhoods.
This would dictate to all interests
dependent upon the roads, which
would include most of the industries
OF the nation, and would enforce that
authority. If necessary, at the price
OF total paralysis of industries through
a nationwide strike. The plan simply
is unthinkable."
CARRIER Has Plan.
Former Congressman Harvey c.
CARRIER. Of Columbus, Ohio, at one
time Democratic National committee
man from the Buckeye State, has a
plan for the solution of the railroad
problem. He has asked for the ad-
vice of Washington friends, but has
not yet submitted it to any commit
tee OF congress on governmental
tribunal.
CAREERS plan opens a way whereby
employees may share in ownership, but
differs radically from the Plumb plan.
1t provides that employees shall pay
for the stock out of their earnings and
limits the total amount of stock that
may be acquired by the employees to
90 per cent of the total value of the
railroad property.
Under the CARRIER plan the govern
ment would issue bonds bearing four
and one.half per cent interest to pay
for outstanding stock. Purchase of
stock by employees would be voluntary
on their part, and they would have to
pay from to 10 per cent of their
wages. The bonds would run so years
and provision would be made to pay
them off when due. The CARRIER plan
provides for strict government regula-
ton of rates and requires guarantees
from employees that there would be no
strikes.

Americans Giue Ward
To Polish Hospital

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-A one

sity clinic at Child Jesus hospital in
the Polish capital, as a permanent
contribution by the American people
to the educational and health welfare

American organization linen and a
