VIOLENCE NOT
PLAN OF LABOR,
PLUMB STATES
Says Railroad Men Do Not
Purpose Untoward
Action.
Washington, Aug. 9. (By The
Associated Press.) Organiied labor
will not attempt to impost the
Plumb plan for railroad control on
other industries unless employes and
the public desire it and its fight for
public ownership of utilities will
not stop until it has reached that
point where "grant and privilege
cease.
This wai tha message delivered
by Glenn E. Plumb, speaking as ,
labors representative, to the house
interstate commerce committee,
which for three days has been hold
ing hearings on tripartite control
of the transportation systems. It
was spoken calmly, after the wit
ness had denied that the plan was
socialistic.
Again today Plumb pounded the
table and denied in terms calculated,
he said, to brook no repetition of the
charge that the railroad brother
hoods had attempted by threats of
violence or strikes to force congress
to adopt his plan for control of the
railroads by the public, operating
officials and employes. The denial
was made first in a statement from
Plumb's office and signed by the
heads of the fifteen brotherhoods
and while Plumb was answering a
hot fire of questions from Represen
tative Dewalt, democrat, of Pctinsyl
var:a, who wanted to know where
the new idea would stop.
Nc Violence Intended.
"We unite in a definite assertion
that we have no desire and have
had none," said the statement and
also Plumb, who paraphrased it, "to
impress upon the public, by violence,
or by threat, our proposal that the
railroads be nationalized under 'tri
partite' control."
Labor would be blind to its own
interests, Plumb added, with em
phasis, if it attempted such methods.
Later Plumb announced informa
tion would be put before the com
mittee in support of his charge that
there had been systematic plunder
ing of the great railway system of
the country.
Plumb stood his ground while
Representatives Dewalt, Montague,
democrat, Virginia; Merrit, repub
lican, Connecticut, and others, asked '
miestions which they intimated were
intended to point out defects in the
Plumb plan. Representative Mon
tague particularly wanted to know
if in buying the railroads the gov
ernment would pay for tracks and
lines built out of profits. Piumb
said it would not. Representative
Dewalt inquired if the Plumb plan
was leading to socialism. Plumb
said it . was not. Representative
Merritt wanted to know if the plan
would be extended to gas plants,
trolley lines and .the like and Plumb
said it would.
Raps Postoffice.
Plumb cited the case of the Post
office department "the only great
industry politically managed," and
said its efficiency would be greatly
increased if the employes had a
voice in it management "or, if it
were operated under the democratic
principles of this bill." It would
be absurd, he declared, to suggest
farmers might come forward wjth a
demand for tripartite control,, but
if they wanted it and the public said
so, they should have it.
Citing the case of railway execu
tives who had advanced from the
ranks, Representative Montague
asked Plumb if he had found evi
dence of undue repression which
would halt the upward march of the
underman. He quite agreed that a
majority of the highest paid rail
way men today went up from the
bottom, but insisted that they were
not advanced through vote or voice
of employes, but by railroad auto
crats who felt they "were extor
tioners of human effort." He wanted
employes to pass on a man's right
to go higher.
Carrying out the same line of
thought, Plumb said in the army
there were many able officers, but
there would have been a larger nuA
ber of good ones, had the privates
been given a voice in their selection.
