AND MEANWHILE

If no one is responsible, and there fore the situation cannot be reme died, government supervision, ownership. is apparently inevitable Congress looks with disfavor on the suggestioR The Plumb plan, under which the govern ment would buy the railroads, permit labor and capital to operate them, and enjoy the returns without the necessity, of making up deficits, has no frienu in Congress brave enough publicly to announce his affection for the scheirle.s
 And, despite the fact that government. ownership is more and more discussed as the remedy, it is certain that 1t will not be attempted prior to the exhaGs- ton of every other resource. It is very probable that in hope of relief, Congress will permit the reduction in the mum Der of trunk lines, will, in other swords, permit the efficient organiza- tions to absorb the inefficient and un- remunerative.
 At any rate, the railroad problem is the one big problem confronting the government. It promises to remain as such until it is properly solved, and in this process. the people of the nation may express their opinion in a referen- dunn four years hence. 4.

CAUSE UNKNOWN

As previously pointed out in this cor Trespondence, nobody knows where the trouble lies. Because of genera, ig- norance, Senator Cummins regards 1t as absolutely essential that an Iisvestiga i tion be had. The interstate commerce commission is authority for tne state- ment that the condition of railroads grows more distressing month by month, and that no reduction in rates could justly be ordered, and that freight and passenger traffic correspohdingly decreases. It is reported /to Washing ton each day from each section Of the country that producers cannot reap even d modest profit when cost Of transportation is unbearable.
 The Cummins- -Esch act was purposely made exceedingly liberal and generous to the railroads in order that they might have an opportunity to get on their feet. 1t is held by Senator Cum mins and other influential members of Congress that if under that act the railroads can't give good sevvice at fair rates, something is radical y wrong. It is for the purpose of ascer- taining what is wrong that Senator Cummins will, ask for the investiga- fion

It is undoubtedly tue that the employees will nat suffer such re- duction without violent protest, It would cause little surprise were numer- ous strikes to be developed.

PUBLIC IS VICTIM

The consuming and shipping pubic represent to Washington that they are the victims of organized labor and or ganized capital that each is a selfish interest, and as result of such selfish ness, the ordinary man, affiliated with neither, must bear an ever increasing burden. It Is contended that capital opposes the constant demand of labor for increased wage only on account of It's difficulty in find genw methods of transferring the expense involved to the shoulders of the people,; that the contemplated wage reduction by the Pennsylvania and other railroads is due to the fact that in the present moment the railroads have absolutely no chance of further expressing the people,.
 The railroads offer a tentative expla- nation by pointing to laws of Congress enacted at the demand and as result of the threat of organized labor which reduced hours of work and increased wages at the same time. That tine money thus involved makes the cost Of transportation prohibiIive is also an argument.
 Labor, on the other hand, declares that capital is proverbially selfish and that railroads cannot earn a fair return on their stock because the stock is well "watered,' exists only in the imas ina ton. Senator Cummins realizes that the time has come when the truth must be aScertained

Consideration of the wheat mar
ket, the coal situation, and the
election of officers for the coming
year occupied the attention of the
delegates to the seventh, annual con.

The meetings were held in Carpen-
ters' hall, 1947 Stout street., and
the convention headquarters were in
the Villa mPenn hotel.
Arch Bean, manager of the con-
vention, discussed the wheat market
at some length in it's relation to
farmers marketing. "The wheat
from this district, which is sold to a
large extent through the Kansas
City markets, has seen marvellous

weeks" he said, "The amount of
wheat sod in the United States is the
argest of any three-week period in
the country's history. In view of
the fact that practically all of this
wheat has been taken by the big
buyers, who usually buy wheat to
hold for higher prices, the natural
result will be sharp rise in the

Party, the most famous of its day.
The four leading members of that

kind in this country.
The program is in two parts, one
in conventional dress, in which they

SILENT PROTEST MADE

Jersey City "Wets" Also Stage

in Demonstration.
(Ry Tho Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, July "A great many
New Workers let the world know today
that they bear no love for the eighteenth
amendment. Several thousand of them
raised terrible thirst tramping up Fifth
avenue in an anti-prohihition demonstra-
tion and others packed the sidewalks for
more than two miles to cheer them. 1t
was called wet parade" and it was
wet-soalking wet-with perspiration.
The afternoon was one of the hottest
of the year, a scorching sun shining down
through a humid atmosphere that car
ried scarcely a whiff of breeze.
Mayor Hylan smiled and sweltered in
the seat of honor in the reviewing stand
at Madison Square. Each group greeted
him with complimentary outbursts as
they passed by. The native born ad-
dressed him blatantly and intimately and
every now and then somebody would
loudly inquire if his honor did not long
for a schooner of lager on such a hot
day.
The foreign born-and they made up
big percentage of this demonstration
against dryness-always addressed the
mayor by his title, or as mister Hylan."
Some of the marchers bore banners which
called on all to witness ''the outrage on
personal liberty against which they
perspired in protest. Not few women
and children participated in the parade.
They were so outnumbered by the mas
culine marchers. however, that it seemed
manifest that the male of the species is
more thirsty than his mate. Everybody
in the line had an American flag, and
many wore miniature liquor bottles ap-
propriately inscribed and pi1ned TO their
lapels.
There were more than three hrundred
organizations in line, about one hundred
of them italian, those in charge an
nounced. Bands played drinking songs
and songs dedicated to the absence of
drinks. Banners by the hundreds min
gled serious sentiments of the thirsty
with a lighter view of people on the wa
ter wagon. These placards, in a manner
