CARRIERS GET 6 PER CENT
nrplus, According to Measure Be
fore House Committee, to Go to
Employes and Public.
Hi ,f
TVASHINGTON, Aug-. 14. A plan de
vised by S. Davles Warfield ot Balti
more, under which the government in
the reorganization of the railroads,
would provide a minimum return of 6
per cent on invested capital, with
division of all surplus over that amount
among employes, the public and the
'earning road, was outlined today to the
house interstate commerce committee.
Luther M. Walter of Chicago, general
counsel for the National Association of
Owners of Railroad Securities, which
eponsors the plan, discussed its various
points with the committee at a five
hour session, and declared it could be
put into effect at once, or certainly
with the return of the roads to private
control at the end of the year.
The rijrht of labor to share in the
profits of the roads was laid down by
Ir. Walter as one of the fundamentals
of the plan. He sharply challenged the
contention of Glenn 12. Plumb, author
of the labor plan for tripartite control,
that the property investment account
of the railroads would not exc-?d 10
or 12 billion dollars. The total would
reach 19 or 20 billions, Walter said, at
the same time expressing the confi
dent belief that the courts would up
hold substantially this valuation.
In the general exchange of views on
the present-day transportation situa
tion. Mr. Walter declared the roads
would have been more successfully
managed for war purposes under pri
vate control. To turn them back now,
he said, replying to an inquiry as to
whether this might help to reduce the
growing deficit, would shift to the
'roads a burden the government should
bear.
The Warfield plan would have the
interstate commerce commission fix
rates on a basis which, after paying the
cost of operation, would net "them a
minimum return of 6 per cent.
The Plumb plan was characterized by
Mr. Walter as a "shibboleth" which had
attracted some people, but which he
declared was impossible. "Jt is not in
line with our institutions," he added,
"and could not help if adopted."
LEPER MUST STAY IN U. S.
DEPORTATION OF PORTLAND
CHliKrf OVEURiLED.
Federal Board of Health May Care
for Luce Poy When Leprosa
rium Is Completed.
Luee Poy, a Chinese leper who has
been isolated at the county hospital
since April 26. last, cannot he deported
to China, according to offioia l,.-vord
received yesterday by Dr. David Ji.
Roberg. secretary of the state board of
health, from the United States public
health servioe. Just what is to be done
with the leprosy patient is still as
much of a problem as when he was
first found to be afflicted with the
disease nearly six months ago.
As soon as an examination showed
LiKe Poy to be a leper, state, county
arfcd city health officials sought to have
the federal government deport him.
The government, in its letter to the
board of health, suggests that it mav
possibly W ready to care for the
Chinese upon the completion of a na
tional leprosarium, for which congress
already has made an appropriation.
Luee Poy is a native of Canton,
China, having come to this country
when ten years old. He lived here
for eight years and then moved to
Boise, Idaho. 1'pon his return to Port
land last April he was found to be
afflicted with leprosy and has since
under strict quarantine. He is
4a years old.

nit ions of the words "anarchist" and
"anarchy," but instructed that it was
the duty of the jury itself to determine
in what sense the- newspaper used the
words and what it would mean to its
readers. . '
There were two defends, he con
tinued. If the jury find that charges in
the editorial were true, that Mr. Ford
was in fact an "anarchist" and "ignor
ant idealist." it was a complete defense,
he said. The "right of fair comment,"
he instructed, was a second defense to
be considered only in event that the
first defense was inadequate.
editorial Mbrlou IVr S-."
In the course of his charge the court
said:
"The editorial, as it appeared in the
paper and standing by itself without
explanation, is libelous, or in a 1
terms, libelous per so (of itself.
"The defendant Chicago Tribune ad
mits the publication and insists that it
was true, and therefore justified; and
that even if not true, it was fair com
ment upon a matter of -public interest,
either of which deftnse's is sufficient
if proved." - "
Touching- on .the statements made by
Mr. Ford in the course of his pacifist
propaganda, the court said:
"There is no- obligation on the part
of any citizen to aijree with anybody
else on any subject on earth, whether
it is the president, secretary of state
or who. Every man has a right to his,
own opinions and convictions and the
risrht to advocate them in any reason- !
able way; and the purpose of examin
ing into Mr. Ford's has been that they
might picture" to you just exactly what
the man is, what his views were and
whether the characterization of him as!
an anarchist or as an ignorant idealist i
was justifiable. !
FairneMs of Comment nt InMiie. j
"You will observe that the question
is not whether you would or would not
have made the same comment on the
same facts. The writer had the right
to judge for himself of tho justness of
the comment wh ich he wrote. The
question is. was the comment the writ
er's real idea, and was it honest? If
the comment was the writer's real idea
and was honestly written, then it was
fair, as that term Is used in the law in
this connection, and you must so
treat it."
Speaking of the term "anarch ist,"
Judge Tucker said in part:
"As to the meaning of the term 'an
archist, as used in this editorial, that
is a matter for you to consider and is
one of the questions you must deter
mine. "Ordinarily speaking; the term 'an
archist' would be expected to convey to
the mind of the ordinary reader that
meaning which naturally comes to the
minds of people when they hear the
term spoken of by itself perhaps the
most commonly accepted meaning of
the term, that of a murderous, danger
ous person ; possibly a bomb-thrower.
"However, you will bear in mind that
the term 'anarchist' has several defin
itions." Judge Tucker quoted the following
definition as given by the United States
supreme court :
"Anarchist 1. One who advocates
anarchv or the absence of government
is a political ideal; a believer in an
anarcnic uieoi y ui utici. , cBitiani .n
adherent of the social theory of
Proudhon.
"2. In popular use, who seeks to
overturn by violence all constituted
forma and institutions of society and
eovernmeiit. all law and order, and all
rights of property, with no purpose of
establishing any other system oi order
in the place of that destroyed; espe
cially such a person when actuated by
mere lust of plunder.
"3. Any person who promotes dis
order or incites revolt against an estab
lished rule, law or custom.

Strikers strike only against thom

by Dr. Byron H. Stauffer, Congrega

feY is in "Portland to occupy the pulpit
of the first Congregational church for
the next three Sundays.
"For six weeks we . were without
telephone or telegraph communication."
he said. "We had no newspapers and
our cafes were closed. But worst of
all thre was no milk, no bread nor any
ice. and ci.iidren became ill regardless
of -strikes.
"A committee of five labor men ruled
the city. To them fathers and mothers
had to appeal if they obtained milk.
certain foods or medicinal aid for their
lck children.
"Hut it was all a dismal failure. At
the end of six .. eeks the labor element
had to revert to its former work and
the reins were again in the hands of
the provincial government. It took
25,000 Winnipeg laboring men Just six
weeks to learn that a successful strike
is an impossibility in a country such
as Canada or the United States. The
truth da w ned on the m w hen their ow n

"Bolshevism may be possible in a
country such as Russia, but I don't

When more persons learn the lesson
our Winnipeg men learned prices will
lower and the world's equilibrium rill
once more be gained."
Or. Stauffer is the pastor of the Cen

WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 14. What
might be construed as veiled threats
on the part of the farmers to go on
strike if the government fixed the
initial price of wheat at anything less
than the JS--26 guaranteed by the
United States to its producers was
made by J. K. Lien nan, representing
the United Farmers of Ontario, - at the
opening session of the Canadian wheat
board at the Winnipeg grain exchange
yesterday.
"We are facing a short crop," he
said. "If $1.75 initial price rules we
may find the crop returns still shorter.
Strikes are popular and the farmers
might be inclined to catch on. Farmers
are cross already.'
