RAIL UNIONS TO
HEAR G. E.PLuMb
Author Of Joint Control Plan to
Address St, Paul Labor

Glenn E. Plumb, author of the
Plumb plan for joint control Of the
railways by representatives of the
public, the railway officials, and the
employees, will attend conferences of
men and Enginemen in the St. Paul
auditorium Sunday, July "a, at a. M,
and 2 p. m. In the evening he will
speak on his plan at a public meet
ing in the same place
Officials Of the Firemen's Brother
hood in Duluth today said the Plumb
plan is as live an issue as it has ever
been. Final solution of the railway
problem, they said. is impossible I'M
der the Esch-Cummins law because
that statute does not regulate the ex-
penses Of railway operation, and ac-
cordingly allows the roads to be
MIXED by directors who are affiliated
with the coal industry. and with man.
ufacturers Of cars. steel rails, air
brakes and other essential railway
supplies. Eventually. the union men
predicted, the country will have to
adopt. the Plumb plan, or some other
plan based on the same prir ciple, in
order to get the railways on a sound
basis.
Mr.. Plumb will be accompanied by
John F. McNamee, editor of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen

will speak at the evening meeting.

the things Mcknight will stand for
first Of all. That is one Of the best
reasons why he should be elected.
Now there is the matter of super
intendent Of schools. A committee is
going about the country looking for
man to succeed DR.. Kent. They think
they have located just the kind Of man
they need. He is superintendent of
the Richmond, Ind, schools. A little
while ago he was a principal Of the
high school there.
Good Men in Duluth.
Why we have Acres of Diamonds"
right here at home. There is Mr..
Young, principal Of the Central High
school, or Mr.. Starkweather, the pres
ent assistant superintendent. Either
would make first class superinten-
dent. Each has had sufficient expe-
rience under Superintendent Hoke
and Kent to carry on the work they
started. There is no necessity for 60
ing out of town to get capable man
to succeed DR.. Kent. That is all pif-
file. We can't keep an outside man
here long enough to be of much serv-
ice to us. About the time one gets
On to the ropes and learns the town
he is ready to quit. That was true in
the cases of Hoke and Kent. Neither
liked the methods Of the kind of poll
TICS practiced by the school board, and
each resigned at the first opportunity.
X. E. Denfeld was superintendent
OF schools for 80 years. He would
have quit years before had he been a
man of less force. He was here long
enough to dominate the politics and
policies OF the school board and he
neld on only so long as he could loss
the job
Real educators like Hoke and Kent
refused to play school board politics.
That is why they are not here today,
Any new outside man will have the
same experience. His efforts as SUI
perintendent will be Handicapped as
were those of Hokes and Kent's.
NO there is no reason for going out
OF town to get man for superinten-
dent. That is a bad habit to get into.

try who are not without honor. It
would not hurt a. bit to give one of
them trial. Indeed there is less
chance: in doing it than by engaging
an uncertain quantity from the out

Mr.. Mcknight in any event can be
depended upon.if he is elected. to do
the right thing, and we are: sure he
would not be opposed to giving a
home man chance. Let us vote for
Mcknight at the school election. Your
vote will help to regenerate the Board
