which is now laid before the country
for the first time. Everywhere in
official Washington it is recognized as
the most serious and far reaching prop
osition the country will be called on to
face.

and, which the statement says has
been ignored by labor and the private
owners of the railroads.
"We ASK it says, that the rail
roads of the United States be vested
in the public; that those actually en-
gagged in conducting that industry,
not from Wall street, but from the rail
road offices and yards and out on the
railroad lines, shall take charge of this
service for the public
Briefly, labor's plan demands
That private capital be eliminated
from the railroads.
That the private owners receive for
them government bonds "with fixed
interest return for every honest dol
lar that they have invested. "
That the tri-partite control, here
tofore referred to, be established in
corporations which shall lease the
roads and in which the public, the oper
ating managements and labor shall be
represented equally.
That the public, the operators and
the wage earners share equally al
revenue in excess of the guarantee to
private capital, by granting to the oper.
i ators and the employees one-half the
savings which are expected to. be made
by such perfected organization, an(
to the public the other half as con

without adding costs, or by reducing
costs.

HERO DIVISIONS
To Be RE TANNED
BY REGULAR. ARMY


Washington, March 29-Retention
of the names of fourteen national
guard and national army divisions
with brilliant war records in the per-
manent military establishment in or
der to preserve their traditions, was
announced today by General March
For this purpose in the twenty one di-
visions proposed, to be organized in
the new army, fourteen will receive
the following designations
Twenty sixth, to be based on Camp
Devens; Twenty seventh, Camp Up
ton, New York Twenty eighth, Camp
Dix, N. j.; Twenty ninth, Camp
Meade, Md; Thirtieth, Camp Jackson,
s. G.; Thirty second, Camp Custer,
Mich; Thirty third, Camp Grant H.;
Thirty-sxth, Camp Travis, Tex. Thir-
ty-seventh, Camp Sherman, O.. Eigh-
ty-first, camp Taylor. Ky; Eighty
second, Camp Gordon, Ga. Eighty
ninth, Camp Funston, Kans. Ninety
first Camp Lewis, Wash.
\, The Forty-second tRainbow) divi-
sion will be the cavalry division in the
new organization. 1t will be organ
lied in the southern department and
its men will be drawn from all the
states, maintaining in this respect the
all-American character which was oh!
tanned in the original organization,
The First to Seventh divisions will
retain the designations of the seven
regular divisions now in France, com
prising the First and Second army
corps, and will be located as follows:
First division, Camp Pike. Ark;
Second, Camp Dodge, Ia; Third,
Camp Lee, Va; Fourth, Camp Kear-
ney, Calf; Fifth, Panama Canal
Zone; Sixth, Honolulu; Seventh, di-
vided between Philippines, Alaska and
Mexican border
In explanation of the absence of the
designation of number of famous
division, including the Seventy-sev-
enth and Eightieth, from the proposed
reorganization list, it was said at the
war department that the Man was
based upon regional representation
and therefore it was necessary to
abandon one of the two divisions rep
resenting each section, though in some
instances both might have brilliant
records.
