Cummins Expresses Fear.

Senator Cummins also expressed fear
that II Government operation were con-
'inued for five years Congress would
drop efforts 20 find "A solution until
lear the end OF that period. Mr. Plumb
replied that he believed interests repre-
sent!ns capital. seeing their relations
becoming moro complicated, would press
20. change. and the public. feeling
that the Government. was paying too
much as compensation to the roads,
would urge Congressional action sooner.
Labor. he said. would lend all its In
fuence to promoting early legislation.
Arguing for profit sharing Mr.. Plumb
said:
III you want efficiency why not 90 TO
the men who have efficiency to sell ?
Capital does not produce efficiency. The
efficiency of labor would be quadrupled
under this plan because they would not
be hampered by the inexperienced off,
GERS who control capital"

Promotion of Efficiency.

mat it would promote efficiency through
the profit sharing feature and through
unified operation. take RAILROADS out OF

As prerequisite to Government
"wnership the labor interests proposed
that railway properties be appraised
without big allowances claimed by rail
way companies for land values based =
'osts OF acquiring them at present.
Much of the questioning OF Mr.. Plumb
revolyed around the opposition to the
Railroad Administration political order.
NJ. Plumb said this virtually tied the
anda of railroad employees in assisting
N developing a solution of the railway
questiou 1t might prevent them from
'rganizing for promotion of the principles
hey advocate. he said. while security
owners and railway executives are I'M
"d'upered by such rule.
senator Cummins CowAl inquired
how the Interstate Commerce Commits
soa would determine under tho labor
plan what would constitute fair rates to
provide a share OF profit for division
7mong employees. Mr.. Plumb suggested
talt In the beginning rated might be
placed on a level TO render l per cent OF

For a permanent solution the labor
forces proposed the following:

The money will be paid in by the
individual members to the secretary
of the organization. and through that
secretary of the American Federation
of Labor. who will see to it that the
money reaches the families of the
striking miners.
The Bread and Bakery Statesmen, at
their meeting Tuesday night. appro-
priated the sum of $3.50 for the steel
membership of only 800. and their
contribution. therefore. is more than
81 per capita. 1t is probable that a
large majority of the ninety-seven
local unions of organized labor affili-
ated with the Central Labor Union in
this city will make contribution to
this fund of days pay. and it is
certain that all of the locals will give
as much as 81 per capita.

Custodian to 100000 pieces of lost
A. E. F. luggage is the job that has
fallen to Capt. William F. Heffner of
1912 North Capitol street, who is now
in charge at Hoboken of six big piers
covered with the lost trunks, boxes
and bales of returned soldiers.
Capt. Heffner recently called on the

in getting the luggage back to right
full owners. The knights Immediately
established a lost luggage depart
ment at the headquarters at 461 4th

mer service men to correspond with
them concerning lost baggage.
Situation Discussed.
Capt Hefner thinks the great part
of the baggage win be restored to
owners within the next month. Speak
ing of the situation from the view
point of the War Department, Capt.
Heffner said:
1T is the keen desire Of Mr. Baker
and the general staff that all the men
and officers of the American expedi-
tionary force receive the many boxes,
bales, trunks. bedding rolls and other
packages which came along from France
in the transports. They feel that the
men who did so we'll in France should
not be deprived of their trunks and
boxes containing small souvenirs to
which much sentiment is attached. Mr..
Baker is very much interested in this
work of restoring the baggage, and has
issued orders to the effect that every
solitary piece of baggage in Europe be-
longing to the Americans be sent home
We expect to receive within a few
days another great load, which is the
forerunner Of some $4,000 pieces which
have all been located at Brest.
