Labor Launches Great
est Fight.
Railroad Problems Unites
All Unions in Demand For
Public Ownership and
Democratic Control,
American labor history includes no
undertaking comparable, in size or
intensity, with the campaign for pub
lic ownership of railroads now under
way. The greatest previous labor
I contest originated, as did the present
public ownership program, in the
ranks of the organized railway em
ployes.\ That the fight of railroad
labor for just working conditions and
for labor's right to share in the dem
ocracy of the nation, which culmin
ated in the passage by congress of the
lAdamson 8-hour law.
Now, added to the forces of the
I railroad employes is the power of all
the workers of the American Feder
ation of Labor. The eight-hour fight
anticipated results beneficial solely to
railroad workers. The entire burden
of the conflict was borne by the rail
road employes. Today all American
labor realizes that democracy in
railroad operation is of vital impor
tance to the welfare of every Ameri
can citizen that is is not a develop
ment of interest merely to the rail
road workers, but a question affecting
every employe and every citizen.
Labor looks back to a world war
Iwhich, resulting differently might have
left America paying tribute to a fore
ign despot. Such tribute would have
been through a tax on every article
produced and every article consumed
by American people. Labor looks for
ward, also, and is throwing its massed
weight into the scale to protect Ameri
ca frompayment of a comparable tri
bute, levied in just such manner
through the machinery of railroad
rates, to local railroad despotism.
It is natural that the campaign for
I public ownership and democracy in
operation of the railroads should ori
ginate with the railroad brotherhoods
No other group of workers has been in
a position to discount by personal
knowledge the value of the reasons
advanced by private interests for a
return to private ownership and oper
ation. No other groupe so clearly has
seen the evils of a transportion sys
tem operated for private profit at the
expense of public service the sacri
fices of equipment and maintenance
work and efficiency to high returns on
dishonest capitalization the exploita
tion of public good for private greed
It is natural that through organized
labor the issue should be brought in
to the minds of all the American peo
pie. Highly organized and skilled
by years of experience and struggle
for democracy, labor necessarily is the
first to oppose the unjust demands of
a small class to profit at the expense
of the whole.
The Plumb Plan is the machine
which labor has set up to carry on its
fight for justice in the settlement of
the railroad problem. With Samuel
Gompers acting honorary presi
ident, its officers include many of the
most influential leaders of national
and international organizations.
In practically every labor organ
ization throughout the country, from
the smallest local to international
beadpuarters, committees to co-op
erate with the Plumb Plan League
ALO

liut Ham™
are being appointed. A weekly pub
lication, "Railroad Democracy", will
be sent to every member of the league.
Response of labor union member-"***
ship to the initial moves in the cam
paign gives promise of tremendous
personal and mass action during the
coming months. Following a discus
sion of the railroad question in one
small Pennsylvania city, the congress
man from that district reported re
ceipts of more than 2000 letters urg
ing his support of the Plum Plan.
Over 1,500,000 copies of the first
pamphlet issued, "The A. B. C. of the
Plumb Plan", have been needed to
supply the demand of labor organiza
tions alone.
Advertisements !n New York news
papers have announced "a fund of
more than a million dollars already
raised to secure the return of the rail
roads to private ownership." Organ
ized labor of America also makes an
announcement: Over 6,000,000 Ameri
can citizens already in the fight to
secure public ownership of railroads
for public good.
Factory Workers' Wages
In New York Increased
77 per cent In 5 -Years
New York—Factory wages in the
State of New York have risen 77 per
cent in the last five years, or from an
average of $12.70 to $$22.51, accord
ing to a report just made public by
the State Industrial Commission.
Factory workers last month earned
$22.51 on the average, says the report,
while employees of water, light and
power% companies made $26.53. Tex
tile workers earned least of all, $17.89.
These are the figures of average
weekly earnings in June by industrial
groups:
Water, light and power $26.53
Paper manufacture 25.84
Metals and machinery 25.16
Stone, clay and glass 24.19
Printing and paper goods 23.71
Chemicals, oils and paints 22.44
Furs, leather and rubber 22.16
Food, liquor and tobacco 21.25
Wood manufactures 20.75
Clothing 18.82
Textiles 17.89
The report, according to the com
mission's statement, is based upon fig
ures received by the Bureau of Statis
tics from 1,648 firms and corpora
tions employing 550,000 persons. In
some cases wage increases were ob
tained by strikers: in other cases they
were given voluntarily. A consider
able number of employes reported a
decrease in the number of hours.
"The total of wages paid in all the
manufacturing industries of the State
in June of this year," the commission
says, "is nearly double the amount
paid five years ago. The bulk of
wages paid, however, can no longer
be taken as an index of the expan
sion of business, because of the great
increase in prices and in wages. The
number of people employed now gives
a better measure of business condi
tions."
