GPR Ll lied odadion oles) : Plumb Plan $ and the Author @ SIIB 2 PLUMB has be ne famous in a fortnight A le while ago his hame actically unknown out- side of ra ay circles. It is now familla ghout the United States and Canada, and no doubt has been heard by millions in other coun- Mr. Plumb leaped to sudden distinction when the railroad broth- erhodds of the United States declared that they wanted the United States to extinguish private ownership in the railroads of the country and operate them in accordance with the "Plumb plan." Then everybody began to ask what was the Plumb plan, and who! was Plumb. [n brief, the Plumb plan {is a plan whereby the Government | takes over all the railroads of the | country; guaranteeing the/ private | owners a certain percentage of inter- | @8t upon their investments, and then | turns their operation aver to-a board { composed in equal numbers of Gor- ernment representatives, representa= tives of the management or high offi- ers, and representatives of the driv. ers, Hremen, conductors and. so forth. The profits are to be divided equally among them please don't laugh---and the deficits are to be the exclusive affair of the public Under this plan it is claimed that the roads will be more economically operated thar at present, the men will be able 10 get all the wages they want, and the public will get cheaper trans- portation. { It's a great plan, and seems to put Mr. Plumb up in a class with Bela Kun. It is not, as might be suppos- ed, the scheme drawn up in half an hour by a demagogue whose only acquaintance with railroads was formed from the brake beams. It is the carefully-though-out soluvicn of the railroad problem of a who has had wide and specialized railroad éxperience, who has been a corpor- ation lawyer, a railroad receiver, and finally the general counsel of the Or- ganized Railroad Employes of Amer i He was born in lgwa in 18686, spent his boyhood Iii {i nols and graduated' from Oberlin College, receiving the degree of Doe tor of Philosophy Later he spent one year at Harvard, but decided to complete his legal education in the West, and graduated from the North-, western University. He then entered a law office in Chicago..his firm re- presenting (he Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. In the five years he remained he learned - the rudiments of railroad law. This enabled him in 1900 to secure a retainer as attorney for the General Railways Company of Chicago, and while holding this position he is said to have matched his wits time and again with Charles T. Yerkes, owner of the other trac. tion properties in Chicago, and one of the keenest railway men of his day. | For three years he was attorney | for the receiver of the General Rail- ways, manager of the road and re ceiver, being in complete charge when the road was réorganiszed and handed over to the consolidated | traction enterprises that todk charge NN F was | tries man 1] of all the city's traction properties In 1905, when Mayor Dunne, of Chl- cago, made his effort to siraighten { out the city's traction difficulties, he retained Plumb as special counsel { for the city. It was in this period, it is said, that he began developing | the ideas that have now appeared { before the world as the Plumb plan. { For a short time afterwards he was | President of the Calumet '& South Chicago Railroad, a street railway | with some two hundred miles of track, and when this road was ab- | sorbed by the Chicago City Railway | €o., Mr. Plumb went back to -the | practice of law. - It was his theory of railway valu- ations that attracted "the attention of the brotherhoods, and in 1917 Mr. Plumb was retained to repre« sent the railway brotherhoods before the Inter-State Commerce Board. This spring he became counsel for the ten other rallroad labor organiz- | ations and therefore is entitled to | speak for all American railroad or- ganizations, just as Mr. Gompets is | entitred to speak for the American Federation of Labor. In May, Mr. Plumb went to Washington to direct his propaganda and educate the pub-| lic as to what the railroad employes want, Hao established a weekly paper and gathered round him some clever writers and cartoonists, all of them | having a marked radical, not to say. | Bolshevist, slant. He now is at the | head of a powerful organization which in a single fortnight prepared | and despatched 1,500,000 pamphlets | setting forth the Plumb plan. There ; must be plenty of money behind him, ] | and Mr. Plumb says that in a year he will have cash contributions amounting to one million dollars. Recently Mr. Plumb appeared be fore a Congressional committee and | explained his plan. In the course of this examination he asserted that he: had never read a book on Socialism, | and did not know what a Soviet was. To which it wight be retorted that he was quite capable of writing a | book om railway sogialism, and that what his plan propdses is the Soviet | | government of the railroads. It! | has been pointed out that his pro- | pagandists are writers noted for their | radicalism, and that none of them has | i ever had any connection with al road affairs. His own knowledge of railroad matters is not to be ques- | tioned, but all this knowledge ap- Pears (0 have been left to one side { when he made the suggestion that ! there were likely to be profits under | | such administration.as he proposes, | , On the other hand, \e can point to | the wrecking of railroads under pris | vate operation and Wall Street mani- | ' pulation. 'If the American Feder. ation of Labor supports the demand | of the railroad brotherhoods for the ! Plumb plan, the anthor thereof may | take his place as ene of the momen- | tous figures in American history. ---- | $100,000,000 for Ottawa Hospital. | { Ottawa, Oct. 7.--The will of the! {late Hiram Robinson, well-known | | lumberman, who died recently, be | Queathed, $100,000 to the city for {the new hospital, i | stipulation is made that the ito used within a specified {the children's work.

On his employer's failure Rochette circu: latized ike creditors, offering to take the business over and manage it with their assistance, undertaking to get their, money back for them He next succeeded in getting him- self financed by a gentleman of large private ans, and started the Cre- dit Miner (Mining Bank) Froth that time forward he Became a sort of financial wizard. Companies sprang up at his bidding as though at a command of -a magician's wand. In a couple of years the Credit Miner was doing such business that it employed 400 clerks. There was a continuous stream of promotions of companies of .all kinds. There were issued to the public in turn the stock of collieries, copper, silver and gold mines. South Amer- ican and Mexican land and railway concerns, banks, fisheries, gas-man- tle factories, colonial concerns, 'and various other undertakings So enormous did the financier"s busi- ness become that he formed a subsidiary company, the Banque Franeo-Espagnol, and started a daily financial newspaper, In his heydey his two offices gave employ- ment to 700 clerks. In 1906, everything was going on swimmingly, and all that Rochette hoo! ol wanted was the Ribbon of the Order | of the Legion of Honor to enhance | his prestige. drawn _ up by and it was initialled by & great -poli- ical personage: but he got the ribbon of -a minor order instead, and the | disappointment was intense. Then Rochette launched the Nerva mines, | in Spain, with a capital of $4,000. 000, but the result was also a dis- appointment to him, #8 (his venture | did not meet with anything like the support that he had anticipated. The "Buisson Hella," another of his un- dertakings, was a system for giving a wowderfully clear light by inean- descent gas at very small expense but it did nething that was claimed for it. It is alleged that M. Rochetts spent a very large sum monthly in | "hush money." [It is stated thi the | money 80 paid amounted on ar | average to between $10,000 and '$15,000 per month. Some of his in fluential protectors are said to have been in the receipt of weekly allow | ances of $250, $300 and $400 and | from the Credit Miner, and it is-al- i leged that bat for their protection | Rochette would have been arrested long before he was actually taken in Although at first his liabilities were placed at $20,000,000 it was later found that twice that sum would be a more correct estimate.

Settling on the Land In Palestine. A glimpse of Palestine in progress from past to future is afforded by an account of the little colony of Yemenians, Jewish emigrants from southern Arabia, who began to as- semble a few years ago to live by wood-cutting in the neighborhood of the forests of some 100,000 trees that had been planted in the district of Judea. The forests are part of a large plan for the reforesting of Palestine; and to house the wood- cutters small cement cottages were bullt at a cost of about 1,000 francs each, each with its garden and its opportunity for the homekeeper to buy his home by installments. Dwell- Ags Row stand which house 130 or 140 families, and the colony of wood- cutters "is ong of 'several similar {groups in which families naturally strongly attached to the soil have been settled in Palestine, cultivating small farms, and progressing toward independent ownership. in some cases the colonies are co-operative; a single large farm i8 run by several families who share its »TOofits, and al the same time pay wages to addi- = tional laborers. The experiments are still too young to be at all comelu- sive, but they are succeeding in their small way, and they are very likely the beginning of.a wide and whele- some development. Germany's Paper Yarn Industry. The importanée of the paper yarn industry, which has been greatly ex- tended in Ge.tnany during the past year, is ind gated by a statement in the Fran¥rAirter Zeitung, quoted in Commerce Reports, to the effect that about 88,000,000 pounds are. being manufactured annually. Madufactur- Ing processes are constantly being improved and paper yarn can be used successfully in the manufacture of various fabrics and garments, except- ing only body linen and the better sorts of overwear. Workmen's clothes, bed and table linen, curtains, sailcloth and imitation leather are among the articles that ean now be | made. In many fabrics, we read, the paper yarn is combined with wonl, shoddy, cotton waste, etc, and the | supply of fabrics for the clothing in- dustry is thus enlarged. It is not te be supposed that all thésé articles will disappear in Germany upon the return of peace. The demands for them "will comtinue undiminished retain their places in the market permanently. The weaving mills are now likewise more active. Army or- ders, as well as civilian purchases, have been frequent, and the auxil- liary imdustriés, including paper cutting and the fitting of paper fa- brics, are better employed." i The use of paper yarn for sewing thread is also increasing, owing chiaf- ly to the scarcity of cotton and linen thread. The preparation, twisting, ete, have been improved to such an | extent that the paper threads are | strong and durable enough to be used in the manufacture of coarse clothing and sacks. --Current Opinion. King Invented Loving Cup. It is, said that the origin of the "loving cup" is traceable to Henry IV of France. While hunting he strayed from his companions, and feeling thirsty called at a wayside inn | for a cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing it to him as he sat on horseback, neglected to present. the handle. Some wine was spilled, and the king's white gauntlets were soil- | ed. As he was riding home the thought came to him that a two- | handled cup would prevent a recur- | rence of this accident, so he had a | two-handled cup made at the royal | poiteries and sent it to the inn.
