this afternoon before the House in

Of the Plumb plan for tripartite con-
troll Of the roads.
Mr.. Plumb charged. further. that
'these railroads, which have SO in

now controlled in whole or in part

"On behalf of all of the employees of
these systems Of transportation and
the public said Mr.. Plumb, I'VE de-
mand that Congress shall make a thor
ough investigation of the charges
herein set forth, so that the American
people may know to what extent it is
sought to subject them to exploitation
under the plans proposed to this COM
mittee of Congress, plans which would
make lawful the fixing of rates based
