Plan, -Four BUS Lines
For Brooklyn Suburbs
Committee of 100 Takes Steps
to Obtain Relief for the
Outlying Sections of Borough

William S. Pickard. president OF the
Transit League Of Southern Brooklyn,
took the first definite steps yesterday
section of the borough.
Heading a committee Of about 100
residents of the Borough Park, Bay
Ridge, Bath Beach and Sheepshead Bay
districts, Mr.. Pickard laid the tentative
plans before Borough President Riegel-
mann and obtained permission to go
ahead on the project that will give
Brooklyn dual transportation service.
A smaller committee was organized
among the members of the league, with
instructions to prepare detailed plans
for the proposed bus service.
AS outlined by Mr.. Pickard the SER
vice will be initiated on four different
routes, subject to change as the plans
are perfected The four lines sug-
gested are:
Route 1--Through Eighteenth Ave-
nue. from Bensonhurst Park to Nostrand
Avenue.
Route 2--Avenue U, through Neck
through Shore Road to Emmons Ave-
nue., Sheepshead Bay.
Route 3-Dyker Beach Park to Fort
Hamilton Parkway, to Eighty-sixth
Street, to the subway station.
Route 4-Avenuc u at West Sixth
Street, to Twenty Avenue. to
Sixty-fifth Street, to Bay Ridge trolley
line, to Sixty ninth Street ferry.
In the sections named residents are
compelled to walk for several blocks
to strcetcar and subway lines. Mr..
Pickard said. The lines will only cross
to the car lines, and will not in any
way, interfere with the b. r. T., but
on the contrary will act as feeders for
the electric cars.
Commissioner of Public Works Joseph
Guider said the borough officials were
in sympathy with the project and it
for them to determine whether
the lines would be privately owned or
operated by the city. Fares will be ten
cents.

[, 200 Long Island
Shop Men in 4-Hour
Debate on ValkOuf

The 1900 men employed in the Long
Island Railroad shops at Morris Park
held four-hour session late yesterday
afternoon on the question of whether
they would strike for wage increase
to S5 cents an hour or submit to Pres
ldent Wilson's plan giving them an in
crease of four cents al hour. They
now receive GS cents an hour.
Those at the meeting included the
machinists, boilermalSers, blacksmiths,
sheet metal workers. Thomas Petit
grew is head of the Machinists' local
and is on the advisory board among
the shopmen. The meeting was held
in the Richmond Hill Casino, at
Jamaica Avenue and Ward Street. Mr..
Pettigrew declared, before going into
the meeting, that the Presidents plan
was mot satisfactory"
Only shopmen were admitted to the
meeting. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion that strike vote would pre-
vail. If they should vote to strike,
one of the leaders said, the men will
await the action of the railroad shop
men in other parts of the country be-
fore determining upon the date of
their walkout.

ton OF the railroad problem by fudge
George w. Anderson OF the United
States District Court Of Boston, q for
mer member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who appeared be
fore the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
Formation of Federal railroad
company, with broad powers, including
eminent domain to take over existing
transportation facilities. so as TO pro
vide ga single national highway and
carrier SYSTEM" was advocated by
Judge Anderson, who admitted his plan
contained no element not already pre-
sented in essence but was combina-
tion Of elements that 'is radically
new"
Labor would, by the proposals Of the
witness, have a new status and respon-
sibility, including profit sharing. Along
with capital and the public, labor would
have equal representation on the board
of directors. Rates would be initiated
on the service -at-cost prime ple. States
would deal with purely local questions,
such as Communication rates, improve
ments and safety precautions.
Bonds would be assumed by the led
eral company and guaranteed by the
government, and stockholders in regu-
lar dividend paying companies would
be permitted to exchange their hold
ings on a basis not exceeding the re-
turn during Federal control.

first since the adjournment of the At
lantic City convention last June, will,
in the opinion of men most familiar
with the labor situation, be one of the
most important in the history of the
Federation.
Among the matters scheduled for
consideration are the efforts to union
ize the steel industry and Judge
Gary's refusal to consider abandoning
the closed shop policy, the actors
strike, the Plumb plan for operation
ing session in Washington Of the in
ternational labor conference provided
for by the peace treaty, and the report
Of Messrs. Gompcrs and Tobin on the
recent conference in Amsterdam, to
which they were delegates.
Plumb Idea Sidctrnchod
The impression prevailed among
labor men yesterday that MIR. Gnmpers's
action on Tuesday in declining to ap-
prove the Plumb plan had made that
scheme Il matter Of minor Importance,
Tor some time to come at least. Mr.
Gompers's attitude, while not unex-
pected, was none the less pleasing to
the numerous visitors to his quarters
in the Hotel Continental.
1T would be too much to say that
IliC iuIllD plhll IN ucau, Sdlu inc ncHu
of one of the international unions,
but it is not too much to say that it
is long, long way from approval by
the federation. The irishman of the
song was never farther from Tip
perary than it is from ratification. 1t
Will take a whole lot Of convincing to
make the executive council give it
even quasi Endorsement"
Mr.. GOmpers made no comment on
the matter during the day, preferring,
as on Tuesday, to await to-day's meet
ing of the executive council before ex-
pressing his views.
Federation Ideas Violated
An official Of the Federation yesterday
asserted that, in one respect hitherto
unnoticed in the discussion prompted
by the effort to put the Plumb plan
through Congress, the plan is squarely
at variance with the settled policy of
the Federation. This official declared
that in the past the Federation con-
sistently has opposed all profit sharing
plans, which on its face the Plumb plan
holds itself out to be.
"The Federation has never asked to
be permitted to take over the manage
ment of any business" he said. "Why,
even at Atlantic City is was almost
unanimous in voting down PROPOSE
tion approving of the selection of shop
foremen. What the Federation always
has asked for and insisted upon is the
right to voice in fixing wages and
working conditions"

Rail Strike Inevitable.
Is Shop Leaders, View
Men OF the Pennsylvania, Erie
and Ne,c Haren O"fspoken in
Criticism Of Wilson's Offer

Leaders Of railway shopmcnt who
represent many men among their vari-
ous trades in the employ Of the Penn
sylvania, the Erie and the New York
New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany, and various shopmen said yester-
day that a strike was inevitable as the
result Of the rejection by President
Wilson of their wage demands.
Expressions obtained from the
men show that they are dissat-
listed with the plea which the Pres
ident made and tho four cents an hour
increase that he offered. The men as
serted that their present wage is in
adequate because of living conditions.
But one man among the entire num-
ber-.a blacksmith in the New York
division of the Pennsylvania at jersey
City supported President Wilson.
This blacksmith said:
Il am in favor of all the President
has said. If | get raise, then rail-
road costs 20 up, and SO with the cost
OF living. Prices are too high; there
is too much prohteering. read in the
paper not long ago that a bill was
offered in Italy to hang the profiteers
That's what they ought to do with two
or three profiteers in this country and
then the others would run to cover /
want what all the men can get, but
want to be reasonable"
Says Men Are UNIFORMED
An officer of the machnists' union in
shop at the Erie Railroad terminals
in Jersey City vouchsafed the opinion
that many of the shopmen do not read
the newspapers and thus they are un-
able. he said, to get the viewpoint of
Government officials regarding condi-
tions in the country.
Let the President shut down the
shops for half an hour and send Federal
representatives to explain to the men
what conditions are. If they could
men the wishes of the President might
be followed.
"Ihe men in general are not in favor
of the Presidents grant of four cents.
1t is not enough money. The Gov.
ernment ought to put some of these
protiteers i'll Jail. There will be Il
strike unless something is done"
An Erie shopman, who has worked
on that system for twenty years as
machinist, declared the men arc ex-
tremcly dissatisfied. He said they are
not receiving enough to maintain them
selves and their families, and he urged
be sufficient until the cost of living is
reduced
A shopman who bespoke the senti-
ment of the plumbers, pipeftters and
metal workers on the New York d.
vision of the Pennsy ylvania, at JERSEY
City described the Presidents award
as "a very raw decision"
Passing the Buck" He Says
owe have not received a square
DEAL" emphasized this man. They
have been holding up our increase
since last year. 1t is case Of pass
ing the buck-from Congress to the
President. The President says we
ought to wait until the cost Of living
is lowered. 1t seems to me it's taking a
long time to bring down living condi-
tions. We need tho raise now when
the dollar is worth AZ cents. We won't
need it when the dollar is worth dol
lar"
At the Harlem River yards of the

New Haven, 133d Street and Brook
Avenue, some of tho men vigorously
criticised the President for his stand
on the question. They pointed to in
creases given to men unskilled labor.
One Of the men said he believed the
New Haven shopmen had been tricked
when they were promised further
raises at the conclusion of their strike
a few weeks ago.
A machinist who spoke for the shop
men at the Harlem River and Van
Nest works of the New Haven declared
the sentiment for strike was very
strong. Here at the Harlem River
shops" he said, eve probably shall
quit before the vote throughout the
country is all in. We were patriotic
during the war, but now our lives are
at stake. The men are going to pull for
living now. They can't live on wind"

!Near York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--Leadcrs
Of railway unions now here are ap-
prehensive to-day of the result of
President Wilson'S rejection of the
shipments demands. They believe that
the referendum vote ordered yester-
day will preciptate a general strike,
that will be followed by illegal local
strikes throughout the country.
1t is the illegal strikes they fear, as
they s. 7 such rebellion may result in
a disruption of .he shopmen's organi-
cation.
Both the railway wage controversy
and the official attitude of organized
labor toward the Plumb plan for ma
tionalzation of the railways. it is eX-
pected Will be taken up by the execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
tlon of Labor tomorrow, Immediately
following President Samuel Gomperss
return to Washington from Europe.
Not Committed to Plan
Labor leaders to-day refused to dis
cuss President Gompers's probable
stand on either issue, but they pointed
out that, while both the executive coun-
Gil and the recent American Federation
of Labor convention are on REGARD in
favor of government ownership of the
railways, they are not comm tied to the
Plumb plan. the convention having con-
tented itself with instructing the exec
utive council to cooperate with the or
CARNATIONS of railway employees in pro-
noting national ownership
1t was intimated that Mr.. Plumb and
his helpers had taken too much for
granted in electing Mr.. Gompers hon
orary president Of the Plumb Plan
League. A widely distributed circular
proclaiming Mr. Gompers as honorary
president of the league has been sent
70 every local union and every member
of every organization in the Federation
of Labor and the impression has be-
come general among labor organization
men that Mr.. Gompers is in favor of
the Plumb plan.
The committee of 100 of the shop
nlent spent to-day drafting letter of
advice to their fellow members
throughout the country. The majority
Of the members of this committee is
represented as being opposed to
strike at this time, bu is greatly con-
cerned as TO the outcome of the strike

Decision Declared Final
1t was reiterated at railway admins
tration headquarters to-day that the
decision not to grant further advances
on account Of the cost of living was
final in the present status OF affairs.
Should efforts to reduce the cost of
living fail it w2s conceded that the
logic of the situation would demand
renewed consideration of tic demands
for general Increases.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 27.-That the

tied in a manner satisfactory to all
concerned is the belief of +. A. San

first Sanderson has contended that a
general strike was improbable.
The five thousand local shopmcn
have received instructions to take q
ballot on the Presidents award, and
it is the general opinion of local union
officials that the offer will be re-
jected. However, the men declare they
have no desire to strike, and are con-
vinced that other offers will be made
which they can accept. No action will
be taken without orders from the in
