PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
OF POWER is FAVORED
Westinghouse Head Holds Public
Interest Is Better Safe
guarded.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 4.-The discussions
yesterday before the world power
conference seemed to indicate a pref
erence for private enterprise as op-
posed to government ownership or
control.
Guy E. Tripp, chairman of the board
of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company, considered
that under the existing system of
public regulation the American peo-
pie were better protected by private
interests against waste, extravaganza
and dishonest methods than they
would be by public ownership. He
believed the adoption of government
ownership of the super power system
would impair public credit and in
troduce a positive political menace.
Among many others who supported
private ownership were George Otis
Smith, director of the United States
geological survey, and John w. Lieb
of the New York Edison Company.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 4.-Ex-
after ridiculing the Republican party.
scorninS the Democratic organization
and fiercely denouncing Communists,
William H. Johnston, head Of the Ma
chinists' International Union and
chairman of the Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action. today
struck the keynote of the convention
of the latter organization at it's open
ing here. Independence in politics
rather than a third party" move
ment. was emphasized as expedient.
: Senator La Toilette was hailed as
'the tribune of the American people.
their greatest spokesman and their
most loyal defender"
/. The recent Republican national con-
tion was referred to as "a lifeless
gathering Of political puppets: the
Democratic convention as "a disor-
derly mob meeting, which responded
TO boss control quite obediently in its
of reaction who are constantly striv-
ing to destroy the American labor
movement and create chaos in the
ranks of the progressives.'
Represents 5000, 900.
Mr. Johnston claimed the present
convention represents 100000 citl-
zens and said its program was broad
enough to include the best interests
of wage earners farmers, salaried
employees, professional men and in
dependent bankers, manufacturers
and merchants.
We have gathered on this l4Sth
anniversary of the Declaration of In
dependence for action to secure those
rights for which governments are IN =
stituted among men. deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed
When that immortal declaration Of
the rights of man was proclaimed
our forefathers were engaged IN

States are engaged in contest to
achieve for themselves and their chill
dren the equally great blessings OF
economic freedom.
There is no economic freedom, no
equality of economic opportunity in
the United States today for any great
group of its common people.
See Prosperity Debated.
American farmers see their pros
perity wantonly debated by finan-
cial conspiracy and find themselves
world market, while the trusts and
monopolies from which they must buy
are artificially protected by the high
est tariff wall in American history.
Inc tnplONeS ol tHe steer
the copper trust, the wooden trust and
the hundreds of other great combina- :
tionS must accept employment on
such terms as Gary, Ryan, Wood and
the other Industrial maenates offer or
risk unemployment and starvation.
The independent manufacturer
must buy and sell in a trust
controlled market. and is suffered to
exist only on condition that he does
not engage in active and effective
competition.
The small merchant finds his
wholesale and retail prices fixed by
trusts and combinations, while he
himself is being slowly but surely
forced out of business.
The independent banker is per-
mitted to participate in the sale of
bonds and the financing of new en-
terprises only by the grace of the
great banking syndcates, while he
already sees his early extinction by
resstless competition from the
branches of the great centralized
financial institutions.
We may not know it, but we are
all in the same boat.

LABOR BOARD IN
 COURT ARGUMENT
Declare Employes Of Railroad
 Cannot Default Public

Chicago, Dec. 27.--The power of cmployes or of railroads to default themselves out of court may De granted, but they cannot default the public, the other partyHin interest in wage and working conditions dis putes, it was argued by the railroad labor board in brief submitted to- day in the United States district court here.
 The brief was in connection with suit of the board against J. Me Guire, who refused to appear before the board to testify in q wage dis pute between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Englnemen and Firemcn and the conference committee Of managers, w stern railways.
 The public, the brief states, has an interest, because an increase in rates of pay may be reflected in q demand for increased rates for carriage, which 1t would pay. 1t also has an interest in the rules governing work ing conditions and hours of labor aside from their social aspect. since | the rules may be unnecessarily burdensomc, causing unnecessary cx- penscs, and so sustaining rates of carriage at an unnecessarily high level, the brief argues.
 In the brief of the respondent, McGuire, which the labor boards brief was designed to rebut, Chair | Ron " IInOnGy nf tho public group of the board, was charged with expressed bias and partiality.
 The labor board argued that the charge of bias Ifs merely one of those false issues which arc some times injected into legal proceedings for their scerie effects" In the charge against Chairman Hooper. the respondents brief out l lined certain remarks attributed 10 him In addresses, which it said dis qualify Chairman Hooper from act ing as an arbitrator between these railway employees and carriers, and makes the board incompetent 10 rem der valid award"
 The labor board replied that no complaint was made of Chairman Hooper's record as a member of the board except as to 49 specific docis- ions out of several thousand. II also related that after making tho state mcnts complained of, Mr. Hooper was reelected chairman, there being but one dissenting vote.
