PLUMB
URGED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (By the
Associated Press.) A Plumb plan for
all American Industry, modeled after
the plan of the same name for the
railroads, has been prepared and is
expected to be publicly announced
soon.
Copies of the plan, captioned "an
Industrial programme by Glenn E.
Plumb," are being circulated in Wash
ington and some of them received in
government circles.
Briefly, the plan proposes for all
American Industry the system of tri
partite railroad control advanced some
time ago with the backing of the
great brotherhoods, which, it has
been announced, would be made an
issue at the elections. Tt proposes
practically the same division of rep
resentation for capital, labor and the
public.
Four Divisions Proponed.
Industry is classed into four divi
sions, in this way:
1. .Those "individualistic in owner
ship and operation, including the
farmer and the small artisan, con
tractor and manufacturer, who is both
capitalist, laborer and consumer."
2. All Industries "formerly individ
ualistic, but which through organiza
tion have so developed that owner
ship is separated from labor and con
cerns Itself only in direction and
supervision of production in which it
engages the efforts of others who
have no share in ownership."
3. Industries "based upon a grant
from society in the shape of a fran
chise, grant of privilege or monop
oly." In this division are included
all public service corporations, ex
cept those engaged in interstate com
merce, "and all industries engaged in
exploiting natural resources." These
latter are described ' as including
mines, gas and water power.
Railroad Are Separated.
4. Railroads and commercial trans
portation facilities. The plan explains
that- these are considered separately
from the public service facilities em
braced In the third division because
the former are "under local control,
created by local authorities and sub
ject to local regulation."
"Public Interest" is defined as "the
right of the public to obtain better,
cheaper or more products or service
as the progress of the arts permits
the making of more or better goods
or service at a lower cost of produc
tion. The constitution denies the pow
er of the public so to exercise its
power of regulation as to deprive the
owner of the property of his invest
ment, actually, honestly and pru
dently made, or of a fair return on
such investment If society pays more
than this amount which the owner
retains as a profit, society pays more
than it lawfully is required to pay;
and the owner receives more than he
is lawfully entitled to receive."
Equality Held EutUI.
"To correct this system." says
Plumb's plan, "there must be absolute
equality between the three interests
the public, capital and labor. To ac
complish this end I submit to the
American people the true foundation
for reconstruction of our industrial
system. This requires that the grant
of society, existing either in a privi
lege, monopoly or grant, shall be
deemed the investment which society
manes in mat Industry benefited by
the grant; that the capital required
to support the Industry shall also be
deemed an investment. Labor, the
creative power of individuals em
ployed, shall be deemed an invest
ment. "Society shall receive profits on its
Investment 1;, the shape of better,
cheaper and more service,
"Capital shall receive its share in
guaranteed protection of investment,
and that current rate of return which
In the markets of the world procures
the acceptance at par of the securi
ties which represent invested capital.
Labor Aim to Ciet Saving.
"Labor shall receive as its return
on its investment of human effort
that rate of wages which in the free
markets of the world procures the
service of that class of labor, and.
In addition to wages shall receive its
share of all the savings which labor
can effect in the processes of oro
ductlon. v
"In those industries which should
properly be owned by the community,
and where the capital employed has
an absolute guaranty of integrity, and
return, all of the savings reflected in
the greater productive power of in
creased efflrlencv should be evenly

While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful

SIR GEORGE PAISH OP LONDON.
Sir George Paish, who has just arrived in the United States from England,
is formei editor of the London "Statist," and is internationally known as a
financial authority. He is here to get help and obtain the views of American
financial authorities on the economic situation in Europe, and particularly to
obtain aid for the Vienna emergency relief fund, which is being used to
prevent the famine -in Austria from spreading. This week he was in Wash
ington conferring with Secretary Glass.
divided between the public and labor.
"In such industries employing pri
vate capital to render public service,
based on a grant, tfie public, or con
sumers, should still enjoy one-half of
the savings of such efficiencies. Cap
ital and labor Jointly should receive
the benefit of the other half, to be
distributed between capital and labor
in the proportion of their respective
investments. The public's half should
be reflected in a reduction of price to
the consumers.
Modification Is Proposed.
"I submit, therefore, to the consid
eration of the American people the
following political programme:
"First as to railroads and all means
of transportation of persons, com
modities and Intelligence, the adop
tion of a plan in accordance with the
principles of the Plumb plan with
such modifications of details as. may
be needed to effectuate the general
principles as outlined.
"Second, as to all industries based
upon grants, privileges, exploitation
of natural resources and enjoyment
of monopolies, . . . public owner
ship of such utilities with the exten
sion of the principles of the Plumb
plan to their control and operation.
or the addition of a tripartite rep
resentation of the public, private cap
ital employed, and labor, in direction
and control of such industries, with
equal authority and a division of the
savings of efficiency between the
public, on the one hand, and labor
and capital on the other hand.
Labor's Chance Emphasized.
"Third, as to all industries engaged
in productions not based on grants or
privileges or monopolies, the adoption
of legislation either local or national
requiring all corporations organized
for the conduct of such industries
to recognize the right of labor as the
investors of present human creative
effort to participate with capital, the
investors of past creative effort in
the control and management of the !
Industries to share in the profits of
such industries on terms of equality
with capital.
"Fourth, individualist industries and
productive enterprises owned and
operated by the same individuals,
shall be left entirely to the individual
owning and operating them, relying
upon the restored freedom of the law
of supply and demand to protect the
interests of the public; the interests
of labor'and capital in such industries
being joined in the same individuals.
"The interests of agricultural labor
ers and tenant farmers will be pro
moted inevitably by the community in i
acceptance of the principles of fair
division of rewards for service which
are outlined for industries of large
capitalization.

Supreme. Council Gets German Ap
Application Cor Reduction in
Troops Heavy Cost Feared.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. President
Wilson "will no doubt" issue the call
for the first meeting of the league of
nations under 4he peace treaty when
the treaty is actually in effect through
the exchange of ratifications of ' three
of the allied powers and Germany,
Under Secretary of State Polk said
Tuesday.
"1 think there is hardly a doubt
that the president will issue the call,
"Mr. Polk said, "in view of the fact
that 'he is especially charged with
this duty by the treaty and it has
nothing to do with ratification by the
United States."
Mr. Polk added that he had so ad
vised Premier Clemenceau and the
other entente premiers while he was
in Paris as head of the American
peace mission . when they asked
whether tne president would issue th
call.
PARIS, Jan. 7. An application from
the German representatives here for
a reduction in the number of troops
to be sent to the areas in which
plebiscites are to be taken under the
peace treaty has been received by the
supreme council. Germany will have
to bear the expense of maintaining
these troops and her representatives
complain that the cost will oe exces
sive. So heavy an expenditure is not
necessary, it is asserted.
The council. It is learned, will re
ply that inasmuch as the United
States has not supplied its quota of
troops, which was to constitute a
quarter of the whole, the number of
men sent will comprise only three-
quarters of the total originally fixed,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. More was
accomplished through tha govern
ment's settlement of its anti-trust
proceedings against the five big Chi
cago meat packers than could have
resulted from a court decision ad
verse to the packers, Attorney-General
Palmer told the senate agricul
tural committee today.
The government, the attornev-een-
eral declared, surrendered no rlehts
to further prosecution of the Dackers.
eliminated the packers from the con
duct of industries not directlv re
lated to meat packing, and does' not
at present contemplate further pro
ceedings, either civil or criminal, as
tne cases against them have been
won."
There were a few sham inter
changes between Mr. Palmer and com
mittee members during his appear
ance. The suggestion of Senator
Norris, republican, Nebraska, that
criminal counts against the packers,
past and prospective, had "been for
given Dy tne agreement, brought a
flat denial.
Mr. Palmer's Ire Roused.
Senator France, republican, Mary
land, intimated that bv bri nrintr civil
and not criminal proceedings against
valuers tne department- of Jus
tice had "laid itself open to the
charge of failing to prosecute multi
millionaires while its agents had
been spying upon members of labor
unions and making summary ar
rests." "It does not lay in the mouth of
any man. high or low. to say that the
attorney-general of the United States
is a respecter of persons." retorted
Mr. Palmer, his Ire plainly aroused.
He added that he had brought civil
complaints against the packers ex
actly as he had brought civil com
plaints against Jhe miners' union
during the recent coal strike.
Lower Prices Kot Foreseen.
Commenting on the general effects
of the agreement, Mr. Palmer said
he saw no hope of immediate lower
ing of food prices by reason of it.
Recounting for the first time the
immediate history of the prosecution
against the packers. Mr. Palmer said
that while a Chicago grand jury was !
considering the government's evi
dence, Robert J. Dunham, vice-president
of Armour & Co.. had opened
negotiations for the settlement after
he had informed the packers that if
they desired to come with the idea of
surrendering to the government and
would state how far they were will
ing to go in complying with certain
requirements by the government, he
would be willing to meet their repre
sentatives. The government had not insisted
that they relinquish poultry, eggs and
cheese distribution, he said, believing
there was economic advantage In
their system of handling these prod
ucts in refrigerators along with
meat products.

MIRACLE PICTURE IS SEEN
VISION OF DEAD WOMAN AND
CHILD APPEARS.
Missouri Man Sees Likeness of Lost
Ones Hundreds of Neigh- -bors
Attest Phenomenon.
PRINCETON, Mo.. Jan. 7. (Special.)
That a "'miracle picture" of a dead
woman and her child suddenly ap
peared on the ceiling of the woman's
home and remained there 90 hours,
during which time it was seen and
recognized by hundreds of her former
friends and neighbors, is attested by
the latter and has greatly stirred
the people of north Missouri.
"Friday night, December 19, be
tween 9 and 10 o'clock," said J. M.
Donelson, husband of the dead woman
and a respected citizen of this com
munity, "while in my home sitting
reading the Bible it seemed that a
voice said. 'Morg, look up,' and in
gazing up I saw the picture of my
wife and. little infant in her arms,
the same as they were when they
were burled, October 8 last.
"My father noticed my gaze and
asked me what I saw. I asked hire
and my mother if they saw the pic
ture on the ceiling and my mother
said 'Yes.' I asked her what it was
and she said. "What do you think it
is?" and I said, 'It is the picture Qf
Anna and the .little one.' She said:
'It sure is.'
"We then asked God to leave the
picture on the ceiling. It stayed there
as it appeared until about 2 or 3
o'clock the afternoon of Tuesday,
December 23, when it disappeared."
