the city Of ATosuI and the much dis
Cussed oil fields. could not be con-
ceded TO Turkey as a majority of

kingdom Of Irak.
Turkey Insistent.
The Turkish delegation insists on
its claim o. Mosul for Turkey and

USE STRIKE AS
EXCUSE TO CUT
train SERVICE
Northern Pacific Officials Get
in Bad at Fond du Lac.

1T ilooks to me as If the railroads
were using the strike a an excuse
to cut off Improbable trains," said
a we'll known daily newspaper man
to the editor of The Labor World
one day this week. THE question
is," he added, will they ever put
them back?"
And that is the nub. The stub
train running between Duluth and
Fond du Lac has been taken off. The
people of that suburb are without
transportation service. There is an
autobus running hit and miss
schedule between Fond du Lac and
the end of the street railway line at
New Duluth. It takes an hour and q
half by autobus and street car to
travel from Fond du Lac t the bus
mess center in Duluth as against 40
minutes by train.
The officials of the company have
used poor judgment in taking off the
Fond du Lac train. They are not
saving the company any money and
they are making enemies for the
road of lot Of folks who have al
ways been its friends. About the only
union man living there ii the editor
of The Labor World.
The crew Of the Fond du Lac pas
senger is used on a freight train on
the same stub line. It also makes
side run as a passenger train be-
tween Superior and West Duluth,
meeting the the east bound N. P.
train from st. Paul which arrives
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The
crew is not in service over six hours
a. day.
If the road officials cared any,
thing about the convenience of the
people Of Fond du Lac they could
have the same crew make a morn
ing and evening trip to that suburb
with the same engine and coaches
at a nominal additional cost; 1t is
such action that is making new ad-
vocates of government ownership.
Let it come. management could not
be worse than it is now, and we
would be ashamed of government
that could not improve on the pres
ent service. =.

Glen {. Plumb SuecuInbs After
Long and PaIatu! Illness. =

Glen e. Plumb, counsel for the 1e
railroad labor organizations and au-
thor Of the celebrated Plumb Plan"
for the public owner ship. and demo-
cratic operation of railroads, died at
Washington "wednesday evening fol-
lowing a long and painful illness.
Mr.. Plumb. a native Of Iowa, came
into national prominence" in 1918
when he advanced the plan for rail-
road operation that bears his name
as the solution for the railroad prob
lem. It was a plan that provided for
the government wonership of the
railroads with the management in a
directorate to be represented by the
public, the executive staffs and the
classified employees. The plan was
endorsed by. the railroad labor or
carnations and by the American
Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Plumb made two visits to Du-
luth to explain his plan, one at a
meeting in the. .Armory conducted
under the auspices of the railroad
brotherhoods, held two years ago,
and the other at the convention of
the Minnesota State Bar associa-
ton, just one year ago., He made a
favorable impression at both meet
.ings. =: =
