UNIONS PLAN To

FOR ROAD PLANK
RaiIroaders Want Endorsement of
Plumb Plan at Frisco Conven-
tion; If Demos Refuse, They'll
Give Labor Party a Try.

Montreal, June 1S.-Two million or
ganized railroad workers will dc
mand the endorsement of govern
ment ownership and the democrat
ic operation of the railroads of the
democratic party's platform whel
tional convention at San Francisco
according to President Heberling of
the Switchmen's union.
The organized workers are plan
ming to ask the Democratic party to
endorse the Plumb plan for tri-
party control of railroad operation by
the public, the government and the
workers.
William Jennings Bryan has pledg
cd his support to the plan, according
to IIeberling. In case the Democrat
ic party refuses to recognize this
plan, the Labor party will be ap-
pealcd to.
Samuel Gompors, chief Of the
American Federation of Labor, was
defeated in his fight against endorse
ment of the government ownership
OF railroads, the bout being the first
battle he has lost in his long ca
reer.
Mr.. Gompets fought hard against
the conventions action declaring it
was a step toward the "enslavement
of the workers as government en-
ployes" who he said, had been denied
many political and economic rights
under the past administrations. He
received only a mild ovation.
The United Mine Workers mad the
powerful railroad workers organiZa-
tions combined to bring about Presi-
dent Gomper's defeat. They had the
support of the machinists' union mad
the metal trades organizations, all
powerful votin gfactors.
The carpenters union and the
building trades organization stood
Loyalty by Gompers. but were over
whelmed
After the federation's action the
executive council whose members
supported Mr.. Gompers, are said to
be placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton. They must take steps to bring
about government ownership, which
they have opposed, or resign it was
stated.

Washington, June 1S.-Herbert
Hoover has thrown his support sol
idly behind Warren ~ Harding, re-
publican presidential nominee and
is urging all other republicans to do
likewise.
1t is pointed out by politicians that
this makes further consideration OF
Hoover as a possible candidate on
the democratic ticket entirely out Of
the question. Even after the Chica.
go convention in which Hoover was
given small vote, there were some
political observers who talked Of him
as possible democratic candidate
This is entirely killed
Hoover, in a statement ISSUED to
day, declared that absolute unity il
necessary in the republican party in
order to make that party successful
and put it in such shape that it may
be In shape to give the maximum
amount of service to- the country.
Hoover's statement pointed out the
dangers in not throwing the combn.
ed support of all G. o. p. candidates
who were defeated at Chicago, to
the republican nominee.
