few regulations reducing hours of Ia
Dor and increasing wages, the EN-
ployees' management would adopt
many. Where Mr. McAdoO paid for a

the employees management would
make that universal practice. And

!, WASHINGTON LETTER. Q
,Qooccoooc0coo

q II g.
Washington. - "The resolution
adopted by the American Federation
Of Labor favoring government owner
ship and democratic operation of the
railroads is nothing more than the
Plumb Plan, and Is a step toward 30
cialism and ultimate bolshevism." as
serts the Republican Publicity AS
sacition. 1.-THE proponents Of the
Plumb Plan have never faltered for
moment in their purpose to compel
the government to buy the railroads
and turn them over to a commission
controlled by the railroads employees
to operate. They have been a little
more quiet in their agitation and have
kept more from public view, but they
have not changed their principles in
the least. They want the Transports
ton system Of the country controlled
by one class of citizens, which control
will inevitably place the people of the
country at the mercy fthat one class.
1.-THE resolution favoring govern
ment ownership and democratic con-
troll was proposed by John l.. Lewis,
candidate for the presidency of the
A. F. of l.. in opposition to Mr.. Comp
ers, and the adoption Of the resolution
was construed to be victory for Mr..
Lewis, but, in view of the fact that
Mr.. Gompers is a member of the
Plumb Plan League, 1t is difficult to
see wherein there was even tempo
rary victory for Lewis over Gompers.
The adoption of the resolution merely
shows that the entire Federation is
now pledged to the movement hereto
fore sponsored by its leaders only
"The farmers of the country have
| repeatedly gone on record in OPPOSE
| ton to government ownership, part
ticularly since the proposal for gov
eminent ownership has been coupled
up with demand that control of the
roads be, PLACED in the hands Of the
employees. There would be no more
business sense in government owner
ship of the railroads with control by
the employees tina nthere would be in
government ownership Of the farm
lands of the country with operation
by the hired hands, who would fly
their own wages and hours of labor
at is perhaps we'll that the Fedora
ton has adopted this resolution, To-
lit presents the issue in a direct, tan
gible and unavoidable form. There !
now a highly organized fight in pro
gress to force the government to Dor
row money to buy the railroads an
adopt system of management tina
would be even worse than the deplol

A Dispatch from Washington,
dated August 18th, says, The
House took up the Republican
tax revision bill today under a
rule calling for a final vote late
Saturday. General debate was
limited to two days, with the re-
naming time given to considera-
ton of amendments under the
five-minute speech limitation.
Before the House met the Demo.
cratic members assembled in eau
Gus for a third time to complete
plans for their fight on the mea-
sure. They held their first ses-
sion yesterday afternoon and the
second last night, but failed to
reach final conclusions after
nearly five hours of discussion.
1t was understood that most of
the time was given over to the
wording of a resolution under
which the. members would be
bound to vote solidly against the
Republican bill. This resolution
was drawn after the caucus had
received a telegram from Repre-
sentative Kitchin. the Demo-
cratic leader, who is i'll at Scot
land Neck, N. c.. urging united
opposition. Democratic men,
bers of the Ways and Means
Committee were busy early to-
day on their minority report,
which, it was understood, would
attack the means by which the
Republicans arrived at some of
the tax reductions proposed,
charging that the changes would
