ABOUT GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

President Gompers lost out in the
Montreal Convention so far as the en-
dorsernent OF government ownership Is
concerned. Mr.. Gompers opposed gov
eYnment ownership OF railroads on the
GROUND that it would add to the large
body OF public employees who do not
have the precious privilege OF strik-
nag. His appeal. however. fell on deaf
ears. Tho Convention by tho vote OF
moro than two to one. endorsed the
rovernment ownership program. Mr..
0ompers' ideas are good enough OF their
kind, but they hardly satisfy the ma
jority Of the American people. who see
n, government ownership and opera
tien, the excuse for inefhciency for
waste, for extrayagance and finally. the
