New System of Profits.
1T marks" said the statement "the
step by which organized labor passes
from demands for wage increases to de
mands that the system of profits in IN
dustry be overhauled.'
The sentence sums up in few words
the proposal of which there have been
hints and indications, but which is now
laid before the country for the first time.
Everywhere in official Washington 1t Is
recognized as the most serious and far
reaching proposition the country Will be
called on to face.
Characterizing the proposal as Ia
bors bill, it is put forth as remedy for
the high cost of living. because the rail-
roads are the key to industry of the
nation.
Demand vestment in Public.
II demands the genuine cooperation
and partnership based on a real commun-
ity of interest and participation in con-
troll of which President Wilson spoke
to congress. and which the statement
says has been ignored by labor and the
private owners of the railroads.
We ask" it says. that the railroads
Of the United States bevested in the pub
lie that those actually engaged in con-
Quoting iidt IilHHStIs. iiob Aiohl " uAA
street. but thru railroad offices and yards
and out on the railroad lines shall take
charge Of this service for the public.
Lahor's Plan.
Briefly. labor's plan demands:
THAT private capital be eliminated
from the railroads.
That the private owners receive for
the government bonds with a fixed IN
terest return for every honest dollar that
they have invested.
That the tri-partite control estab-
lsh corporations which shall lease the
roads and in which the public, the op-
Grating arrangements and labor shall be
represented equally.
That the public. the operators and
the wage learners equally share all reve-
nue. in excess of the guarantee to priv
ate capital, by granting to the operators
and the employees such privileges which
are expected to be made by such per-
fected organization and to the public the
other half as consumers, either by IN
creasing service without adding costs or
by reducing costs.
Labor Organized for Plan.
This role originates with labor says
the statement. because labor happens to
have firm organizations thru which II
may become articulate.
The trainmen are not represented IN
the statement because Mr.. Lee, presl-
dent of the brotherhood, was out of the
city, but il was said that they JOIN III 1t.

ASYLUM FOR Bella KKUN.

Vienna. Aug. 4.-Bea Kun, former
dictator of Hungary, and his assistants,
have been granted asylum by Austria to
avoid disturbances and possibly bloodshed
in Budapest. according to an official
statement, which says they will be al
lowed to remain in Austria under de-
ftention until Hungary is able TO receive
fthem again. but not be permitted to
carry on political propaganda.
The downfall Of Bella Kun, virtual die
tator of the old Hungarian soviet gov
ernment and the fight he made almost
alone to maintain the power that had
caused the allies SO much trouble for
months, is described in dispatches today
and by Budapest refugees. National ac-
tion in upsetting the communist govern
mcnt took place on Friday at the meet
ing of the central council of revolution
ary workmen and soldiers at Budapest.
Zoltan Konay, former minister of jus
tice. announced the governments rcsig
nation. He explained the dictatorship
of Bella Kun was based on three assump-
tons. namely:
Bella Kun then appeared before the
council With tear stained face and in
a choking voice he admitted the hope
!essness of the situation.
Speakers at the meeting told how the
Rumanian troops were within 40 kilo-
meters of Budapest and that the allies
threatened to tighten the blockade
Jacob Weltner, president Of the sol
diers and workmen's soviet, and DR.
Peter Agoston, the minister of Justice
who conferred with the allied represent
atives at Niena and had been told
plainly that Kun must go and n new
government be formed. got up in the
council meeting and stormily demanded
Bella Kun's resignation. They asked him
# he wished Budapest's political plight
20 be made worse by hated Rumanians.
Then Bella Kun yielded. He predict
ed the coming of white terror" rob
bing the worknen of their freedom and
means Of production, all of which he de-
pored. He added that the people would

BAKER SENDS MILITARY
MEASURE TO CONGRESS

Washington. Aug 4-Maintenance of
one field army with n war strength of
/ $50 600 men is proposed in a bill es
tahlishing a permanent military policy,
which was sent TO congress, today, by
Secretary Baker.
The active force of this would be
$4,000 regulars, while the remainder
would be young men who had taken
three months military training course.
which would be compulsory for all 19-
year-old youths This reserve strength
would be used TO fill out the 20 infantry
divisions and one cavalry division into
which it is proposed to divide the regu-
lar army.
Like War Registration.
The plan for registering youths OF 10
years is the same, with a slight modi
fication. as that applied during the war
under the selective service act.
No change in the existing law With re-
gard TO the organization of the rational
guard and its relation TO the regular
army was suggested. Mr.. Baker said
il was assumed that the natioual defense
act regarding the guard would be re-
tanned in force.
Under the measure, all special serv-
ices built up during the war will ha main
tanned as separate branches, except the
chemical warfare service. which would
be merged with the engineers corps.
No Seniority Promotion.
Promotion of officers by seniority
would be abolished. Secretary Baker
said the war had shown the system of
promotion to be defective.
Under the armys plan. youths would
be subject to military service for two
years after completing the course of
military training and, in the event of
war, the selective service act in force
