IS LAID BARE
PLUMB SAYS THE RAILROADS
ARE BANKRUPT.
They Admit 1t and Demand Govern
ment Aid From Public Treas
ury-Banks Own Big Share
of Railroad Securities.
(By Federated Press)

Milwaukee - Giving statistical
proof of the bankruptcy and incompe-
tence of the private railroad manage
ments of America, Glenn Plumb, for
merly general counsel Of the railroad
brotherhoods, presented the Plumb
plan for public ownership Of the
roads in talk before the Open For
UNI here.
"The railroads are financial, physi-
cal, mental and moral bankrupts,'
Plumb declared. "They admit their
financial bankruptcy, saying their
credit is so exhausted that they must
have government aid from the public
treasury. Physically they are bank
rupt because they are not keeping up
repair of cars and right -of-Way, as
President Rea Of the Pennsylvania ad-
mitted to his stockholders, and julius
Krutschnitt of the Southern Pacific
admitted to the Senate committee last
year.
"They are mental bankrupts because
they entertain delusons, asserting
that their properties are worth from
twenty to thirty million, while the
Interstate Commerce Commission act
ual valuation as far as it has gone,
would show a total valuation of only
$4,000 100000 to $11 900, 100000 And
thew are moral bankrupts because,
after writing their own labor clause
into the Esch-Cummins transportation
act, they refuse to abide by it, and say,
through Vice President Atterbury OF
the Pennsylvania, 'To hell with the
labor clause
Plumb disposed of q number of sob
pleas constantly pushed by the rail-
road publicity men. GAS to the wild
ows and orphans that are supposed to
own most of the railroad securities, y
Plumb explained, Figures show that
exactly 2 per cent of the S20,000,000,-
600 of securities is owned by women
and dependents. The roads them
selves own SO per cent of each others
paper, banks and life insurance COM
panies own SO per cent and individual
men own the remaining 10 per cent.
"The roads also claim compensa-
ton. if the government should take
them over, for the full cost of repro
ducing them at present values. They
figure in the present value of the mil
lions of acres that the government
gave them for nothing years ago.
Why should the people now pay high
prices for their own gifts ?"
Plumb demonstrated by Supreme
Court decisions that Congress has the
constitutional right to build railroads.

AS PREDICTED
WOULD DESTROY DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.
Scheme of Hoover and Fall to Gain
Control of Resources of Alaska
May Be Defeated If Farm
Bloc Speaks Up.
(By Federated Press)

hington-Exactly as forecast by
resolutions adopted at the Denver con-
venton Of the American Federation
of Labor, the enemies of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture are seeking to
destroy it.
Walter Brown, chairman of the
Presidents Committee on Reorganiza-
ton of Executive Departments, has
approved a plan agreed upon by Sec
retary Hoover and Secretary Of the
Interior Fall, whereby Fall will get
control Of the resources Of Alaska
and all the national forests, now un-
der the Department Of Agriculture,
while Hoover will get the Bureau Of
Markets to add to his Commerce De-
partment. Control of the meat pack
ers has been placed by Congress in
the Bureau of Markets.
Not satisfied with this raid upon
Secretary Wallace's jurisdiction, it is
reported that Hoover has claimed and
Brown has approved the transfer Of
the Bureau Of Public Roads from Ag
riculture to Commerce. This would
give Hoover the big political prestige
Of furnishing good roads to the farm
ers. In return he generously offers to
give Wallace the Bureau Of Fisher
les! Supporting this roads scheme are
half a dozen organizations of engin-
GERS, road contractors and others who
have confidence in Hoover as a friend
of their business.
Thus far the agricultural bloc in the
Senate and the insurgent Republican
group in the House have not had oc-
casion to deal with the Brown-Hoover-
Fall plan Of breaking up the Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t is under
stood, however, that they will give
some attention to it when the regular
session begins, and that they will di-
rect public notice to the fact that
the meat packers have advanced a
step from the recent victory when
they prevented the enforcement of
the Packer Control Law from going
to the Federal Trade Commission.
Hoover, the darling of the packers, as
administrator Of Federal control over
their combine, is a proposition which
will probably add another score of
votes to the insurgent list and rock
the Old Guard dynasty in the House.
Defeat of the scheme appears cer-
tain if the farm bloc speaks up.

TriCkery Is Employed
To Deceive Miners

Springfield, Ill.-President j. H.
Walker of the Illinois Federation of
Labor declared here that he had in
formation to the effect that men in
the Kansas mine district were being
paid from SIS to $25 day to go into
the mines with their pit clothes on in
order to make the Howat adherents
believe the strike had been broken.
He said that according to reports
reaching him not more than fifty real
coal diggers had returned to work,
and that there had not been a single
pound of coal shipped out of the dis
trict since September 80, the day on
which Howat and August Dorchy
went to Jail.
Mr. Walker was chosen by the re-
cent Peoria convention of the Illinois
miners to represent District II Ulli-
nois) in the distribution of strike re-
lief in the Kansas district
"The national organizers, straw
bosses, pit bosses, superintendents,
coal operators and commissioners, .
said Mr.. Walker, "along with the
revenue officers and secret service
men, are all working together in an
effort to drive these men back to work
in the mines, but the men are stand
ing like stone wall"
Mr. Walker said the Kansas City
Central Trades body had unanimously
adopted a resolution asking local un-
ions to assess themselves % cents a
week for the benefit Of the Kansas
strikers. A big local union at Lexing-
ton, Mo-, has voted an assessment of
SO cents a month for the same pur-
pose.
"I believe those Kansas miners are
going to die striking before they will
90 back to work as serfs and slaves
under the Kansas Industrial Court
law" Walker said.

Gun Men Come High.

Seattle-Unfair coal operators of
King County, now spending $500 a
week week to m maintain az army trG Of paid
lence" from $500 locked out union
miners, want to shift the burden to
the county. A proposal has been
made to station deputy sheriffs, paid
from public funds, in the camps as
special representatives of the coal op-
orators.

Cant Strike" Law
In Texas Is Latest

Houston, Texas-To duplicate the
Kansas "can't-strike" law in Texas is
the purpose of the industrial equity
league, which has opened offices in
this city.
The league informs Texas citizens
that the Kansas act "is a success" but
modestly states that it has an i'm
provement on Governor Aliens hand
cuff legislation. The final falling of
the worker, however, is no different
from Kansas. In both cases he lands
behind the bars if he refuses to work
under conditions not satisfactory to
him.
The leagues idea is to establish an
industrial court, with a judge who
shall be elected. A jury of 12 persons
shall hear evidence and make an
award that shall be enforced by the
peace officers Of the state. The jury
shall be drawn from the citizenship
Of the entire state and not from the
vicinity where the dispute is located.
When an industrial dispute can not
be settled by the parties involved, the
court shall act on complaint of either
party or the county or district attor-
ney.
The leagues proposal is an extern
sion Of the vicious "can't-strike" law
which passed the Texas legislature
last year and became effective Janu-
ary 2, 1921. This law has been given
the chloforming title "open port" bill,
and was urged by Governor Hobby,
following the strike of Galveston
longshoremen. The bill makes it un-
lawful to interfere with the 'hand-
ling or moving or transporting" of
commerce within the state.
This law not only makes a striker
liable to penitentiary sentence of
from one to five years, but another
vicious proposal permits the attorney
general of the state or county pros
ecuting attorney to take the trial of a
striker to another county in the event
that this official believes he cannot
secure a conviction. The law, how
ever, denies the same right to a
striker, if he (the striker) believes he
can not secure fair trial in the
county in which he is indicted.
