London, April 3.
The meetings OF railway men and
transport workers held to-day indi-
Gated that these two unions are almost
unanimous in favor Of supporting the
striking coal miners and to strike II
necessary TO prove union solidarity
and resist the Capitalists attempt to
split labor and reduce wages seriatim."
The union men enthusiastically cheered
their leaders and the meetings were
invariably OF the most incendiary tone.
The talk was OF a social war and OF
class struggle and of accepting the
challenge offered by the Prime Minis
Ter as a declaration of war on the
Labor party.
Between these two extremes of the
mine owners and the miners sides to-
night there wavers the prospect OF
Great Britains industrial future. big
business" is still confident the miners
can be beaten and several railroad
are announcing tonight
that they will not make the reduc-
tons in their train service which were
intended to become effective next
Wednesday as a means of conserving
fuel.
Official reports received here from
the coal fields say that many times
the number of volunteers needed to
man the pumps and save the mines
are reporting for work.
Radicals Seem In Control.
The general tone OF tho meetings OF
the railroad men ana the transport
workers shows that the hotheads have
taken control of these unions. which.
with the minors organization, constitute
the Triple Alliance, ana that these rad
icals are swaying the rank and file OF
their unions 10 stand behind the miners.
The Government made It plain to-day
that IL was not taking an active part in
the strike. At the same time It is quietly
orga anizirg the emergency machinery
necessary TO insure transport II IL comes
10 show down ana has officially made
ii plain that II will not at this time in
itiate any move toward mediation. The
is READY 10 act II called
upon. but will not start anything. II
was officially emphasized. for instance,
that IL was not the Government that is
calling for volunteers TO man the pumps
In the mines, but that the mine owners
are asking for them. The Government
will protect these volunteers once they
appear at the mines.
Typical of the viewpoint OF leaders OF
the Triple Alliance in this connection
was a speech by Ben Smith of the United
Vehicle Workers Union. who told n
meeting that union soli-
darity was challenged and that il the
transport workers permitted the miners
10 be defeated they would be the next
TO suffer.
And II we quit and the Government
sends volunteer vehicle workers on the
road. It is up TO every driver and his
mate in this union 70 go out and stop
these volunteers" he declared. 'frhc
miners ask our help. Shall We give it?"
There were enthusiastic replies or
Yes" from all parts OF the meeting.

Inducemcnt 10 EmcIency.

Here is the inducement to efficiency
that the competitive system was expect
ed to furnish but which seems to have
failed. II we would have efficiency in
railroad operation either a railroad must
have the opportunity to earn and keep
all II can make under the most efficient
management with reasonable rates or
there must be a reward to those directly
responsible for efficiency to become ef-
ficient.
Under the plan there Is the incentive
10 stockholders in 30 per cent return
for efficiency; to the employees 40 per
cent. to induce efficiency. In addition
there is the economy Of complete unfit
cation"
The New York herald., 1921-04-04
Two Ways to Get Control.

The corporation may purchase the
physical properties of the railroads. or a
controlling interest in their capital stock
upon valuations fixed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. 1t may also ex-
ercise the right Of eminent DOMAIN.
I'm the plan / wish 10 emphasize that
there Is no element of government own
ership or government operation. but
every group interest will have represen-
tation upon the board. The dominant
motive of at least n majority OF the
board will be efficient operation at a
reasonable cost. IL has been objected
that the owners will not control their
property, that there will be private own
ership of the roads under this plan. as
under existing plans. but they will have
only a minority OF the directorate. But
every honest investor would infinitely
rather have the Government guarantee
to him per cent than to have a ma
jority control upon the board OF di-
rectors.
when the Government does give a
guarantee of 4 per cent. II Is emnently
proper that the publc-not the Govern
ment, but the public--shall have the
controlling voice in the management OF
the property. The board OF directors
shall choose a general manager to OPP
crate the roads under the supervision OF
the directorate.
"The country is to be divided into re-
gional operating systems. Rates are to
be permitted that will pay the maximum
return. Earnings in excess OF the maxi
mum viii be divided as follows: Forty
per cent to the employees. 80 per cent
TO stockholders and so per cent to the
Government.

RAISING BAMBOO

Possibilities of developing a BAN

many other uses are being worked out
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture in the plant detention

stations in Georgia and Florida.
Bamboo shoots were brought to
this country from China, Japan, India
and other countries by the depart

Brooksville, Fla. A mite was later dis
covered on the sheaths. however,
which Slapped the vitality of the plants
and it was at first thought that the
industry would have to be given up.
But on study it was found that the
mites could be destroyed with hot
water without injury to the plants.
Propagation of clean plants was then
begun at Bell, Md. with a view to
establishing large clean groves in the
gardens at Savannah, Ga.
Bamboo plants also suffer from a
smut, which is carried in the rhizomes
or roots sprouts from which the plants
are propagated Smut may be carried
through the tissues of the plant, and
manifest itself in the new growth
from which it is scattered by the win,

With the realization of project to

navigation. nor, possibly, unreason-
able coal prices.
By means of this transportation
system, worked out by Reginald p.

gineer, 100000 tons of coal year
will be forced through two 1slin.

5000 WORKERS IN
PHILADELPHIA HIT.
Trade Depression Puts 10000 Out
of Jobs.

-
Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-Approxi-
mateIy 265,00O workers in this city are
affected by the industrial depression,
said Joseph Willets, professor OF in
dustry, University of Pennsylvania,
in an address today at the Philadel-
phia Chamber of Commerce Forum on
Building Construction.
While he declared survey by his
department showed 10000 persons
were out of work, and that 100000
we're on part time, he voiced the opin-
ion il was a fallacy workingmen had
not laid aside reserve for "the rainy
day"
Our survey shows the amount of
unemployment now is greater than il
was in 1914-1915," he added, but it
discloses also the worker is in better
condition to meet it. In 1914-15 he had
only a reserve to cover ten days, and
now, based on savings fund reports,
he has sufficient to hold him over
thirty. days"
Dr. Willis based the survey on
questionarires sent to employers in
each industry here.
