Declares Himself for Nationalization of Lines. 1 COMPULSION" IS SPOKEN OF ;ln Strong Terms Leader Says Solution of Problem Lies in Tripartite Control. , (Copyricht, 1919. by the VniUt Prate) J Paris, Aug. 1 3. Samuel Qompere, 'president of the American JFedera It Ion of Labor, today declared In .favor of : the nationalization of American railways and labor's de ;mand for an equal voice In their ad ministration. - "American railway workers intend noftmly to compel the government to take over the railways, but will demand. fas the logical next step, that labor be , granted a permanent equal voice in railway administration," Compere said Jin an interview. 4TeCHnic;l experts needed t "The railways must be brought under Miitable control, made up of the gov iernment, laborers and technical experts. - At present none of these elements baa a i real voice in any matter of importance concerning the railways. , "The first step in changing the sltua ; tion would, be for the government to take i over the lines. The next step would be taking representatives of labor and rep , resentativea of the owners into the ad t mlnistratlve council. ! "The government's failure during the i war was due to its methods-as well as , abnormal 'conditions. It can't be ex ' pected that a man like McAdoo, who had not the slightest knowledge of rail J roading, would be able to handle the situation, even in peace time. SATS LABOU IS JUSTIFIED ! "Although I am ready to admit I am ; not' positive that government control , would right all present wrongs, I will ' back ' up the demand of the federation J that a real trial be given when control t is taken. We will insist that rail ex .f perts, not merely politicians, be placed i in cnaxge or tecnnical questions. J "Solution of the whole problems rests . with cooperation of three heretofore ' conflicting interests) tnhnr irnvAi-nniAn , and the owners. Labor is fully Justi j fled in its present steps, as it has not , received the slightest consideration in ' the past. Our opponents" claims that J wages have been sufficiently increased do not take into consideration the de I creasing value of money." Gompera refused to state the degree J to which the federation would enter the t political arena to gain its ends, stating J merely ; . "Present conditions are extremely un fair. Previoua methods have failed to , achieve legitimate result. Hence, wo vm ue iorceq to use other "means."
