BIG SHOE BILLS

"Iwill always wear shoes with Neolin
Solos," writes Mr.. NJ. Newman of the
|. Newman Mfg. Co. of Minneapolis.
They are superior soles in every way,
waterproof, more comfortable and more
durable. After many months of wear
they remain in good condition
Mr.. Newman, and millions of others,
have found that the answer to the shoe
bill problem lies in getting soles that
wear long time-Neolin Soles.
They are scientifically made, very
tough and yet have the other qualities
that soles should have-comfort and
absolute waterproofness. Get Neo!in-

They are found nearly everywhere and

WASHINGTON, Aug. Glenn e.
Plumb, author Of the Plumb plan
for railroad control, appearing before
the house Interstate commerce commit
tee today, declared it is revolt. and
not simply unrest, which confronts the
United States.
'1t Is not unrest that confronts u.s. -
declared Plumb. ''It Is revolt, because
Of industrial conditions no longer to
be borne"
Plumb asserted that organized
labor now realizes that further ad.
vances in wages at the expense OF q
cost of living exceeding that Of values
are wholly futile. To correct this
vicious system, the interests OF both
consumers and producers must be
protected; that the great increase in
the productive power of human effort
should be reflected equally in in
creased earning power of those who
produce and in the decreased cost of
the commodity"

the United States will look askance at
any move TO guarantee six percent
return on railroad securities, such as
has been proposed, while Liberty bond
buyers get but 31a to AZ percent
Referring directly to labors railroad
plan, Plumb said:
THE vast army of producers for
whom / appear are not divided, but
come before you as as united force,
profoundly convinced Of the economic
soundness OF the principles upon
which their plan is built, imbued with
the crusaders spirit to support the
principles upon which their faith is
founded
Recent events have brought us
face to face with a crisis. The differ
ence between earning power and
spending power of the great mass of
the workers has compelled a lowering
of the standard of existence. This is
entirely hostile to the interests or
humanity.
"It is claimed by those who repre-
sent financial interests that the rail-
roads represent an investment OF
$4,000, 100000. Unless they receive
return of a billion dollars year how
shall this investment of money be
compared with the Investment of life
and labor that receives a return OF
S2,500 600, ,00O0 year. He who SPEAKS

ing of rights which the property pos
sosses dissociated from the human

GRAFTON, her insisrent demand of two

this morning when the newly created

the bridge of his flagship, the New
Mexico, swung majestically past in
lreview before Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels. The ceremony
marking the official entry of the

beach, just outside San Diego har-
Dor.
simultaneously with the appear
ance of Secretary Daniels flag on the

came the first boom of a salute Of

five newspaper men representing the

are swamped with dispatches cover

In characteristic statement to the

said:
''The fleet is here for busintss-not

This crisp comment from the ad-

statement of Admiral Bob Evans when
he started around the world that his

the house interstate commerce com
mittee that the fourteen railway un
ions had summoned national con
ference on railroad control to meet
in Washington.
Plumb said the evidence upon which
he based his charges that big financial
interests had wrecked roads would be
reserved until ut could be properly
prepared and submitted to the jury

Plumb is the originator of the Plumb
plan of railroad control. which the
employees are demanding, and is act
Ing as attorney for them In their cam

Those invited to the railroad con-
ference he said are:
Frank P. Walsh, former joint chair

Plumb said:
During this week there has come
into the possession of the railroad
brotherhoods and ten affiliated railway
labor organizations of the American
Federation of Labor set of facts
never spread before the American peo-
pie or submitted to the jury of public

These facts tend to show that the
wrecking and looting of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, the
Chicago and Alton, the Rock Island
system and the Frisco lines are not
sporadic examples Of the highway
robbery to which the American nation
has been subjected as to it's public

Announcing the call for the nation
al conference he said:
EVERY response to our invitation
to participate in the national confer
ence on democracy in railroad control
has been accompanied by a whole
hearted acceptance of the basic prin-
Iciple, expressed in President Wilson's
message at the convening of this con-
gress, wherein he declared for the
genuine characterization of this in
dustry based upon full recognition
Of the right of those who work, in
whatever rank, to participate in some
organic way in every decision which
directly affects their welfare on the
part they are to play in the industry
and for "a genuine cooperation and
partnership based upon real COM
munity Of interest and participation in
control"
While Plumb was testifying. 1t was
announced that the senate interstate
commerce committee had told Presi-
dent Wilson he has "full and plenary
authority" to deal with the railroad
situation, and that additional legis-
