GLENN PLUMB. Glenn E. Plumb. one of the most wiflely known advocates of the prin- ciples of organized labor, a lawyer by profession. and, as such, counsel for sixteen of the big national labor | urdons, and author of the celebrated “Plumb p'an” for the operation of | the railroads of the country. died last night at the' Georgetown University Hospital after a protracted illness. He ruffered a relapse from an {mprove condition that had given his many friends a hope his recovery was Guestion of a short time. The direct capse of his death was heart trouble. Mr. Plumb was stricken last Febru- ary, his breakdown resulting from a hard speech-making campaign he was making In behalt of his plan of railroad control. Born in 1566 Mr. Plumb was born of farmer stock in Washington county, Iowa, and lived most of his life Mr. Plumb, when a boy, sp: school vacation as “roller boy"” i glass factory or as a stationary en gineer and harvest hand on farms Previous to his ecntering Oberlin College, in 1887, he spent his winters teaching In the district school and milking cowa. “sometimes sixteen and as high as thirty cows a day.” He established a reputation also as a runner, and as a breaker of colts. When he went to Oberlin he qualified as teacher of gymnastics, and in the winter of his firat year he went to Be- loit College as director of athletics. After graduation from Oberlin he spent a yvear at Harvard and com- pleted his law course at Northwest- ern University in 1893, when he was admitted to the bar. clerked in the office of Peck, Miller & Starr of Chicago until 1897. In 1900 Mr. Plumb was appointed attor- ney for the Chicago General Railway Company, a street railway company. Alded Chicago Traction. In 1905 Edward F. Dunne was elect- ed mayor of the city of Chicago, and | he attempted to straighten out the | city’s traction tangle. Mr. Plumb was retained by Mayor Dunne as spe- clal attorney and counsel for the city of Chicago, during which time he prepared, together with Clarence Dar- row and Maj. Tolman, the corporation counsel, and presented to the supreme court what is known as the ninety- nine-year case, in which proceeding most of the principles that Mr. Plumb later contended for were upheld by the supreme court. Mr. Plumb later represented the| state’s attorney of Cook county and the corporation counsel of the city of Chicago in various negotiations be- tween the elevated railways and the surfacc lines, during which period he sented with others the street railway employes of Chicago in the settlement of their strike of ! 1916, and in the litigation involving the elevated railways he established | in the supreme court of Illinois the interpretation of that provision of the Illinois constitution forbidding the issuance of stocks or bonds by railroad companies in excess of the amount paid for them. In 1916 Mr. Plumb was choosen special counsel for the city of Chicago ir_ the gas litigation proceedings, | which are stiil pending. Retained by Union in 1917, Again, in 1917, he was retained by the four big railway brotherhoods. which means the four not affiliated with the American Federation of La- bor, to represent them in the valua- tion proceedings before the Inter- state Commerce Commission under the railroad valuation act. In 1918 Mr. Plumb. still represent- ing the organizations of rallroad em- ployes. appeared before the Senate committee on interstate commerce ! 2nd presented his solution of the na- tion's_transportation problém. which later became nationallv known as the Plumb plan.” It provided. brieflv, for government ownership of the rail roads and their operation by the pub- lic, the management and the workers. Following Mr. Plumb’'s appearance before Congress he undertook an educational campaign to familiarize the public with his railroad plan, and . from it grew the Plumb Plan League. The demand upon Mr. Plumb for speaking engagements was greater than his time or strength. Mr. Plumb is survived by his widow, Mrs. Marie Cora Plumb, and one son nd one daughter, William C. Plumb: and Miss Grace I. Plumb. There will be a funeral service at the family residence, 1 Leland street, Chevy Chase, Md., after which the body will be taken to Chicago, where the funeral services proper will take lace Friday afternoon. The inter- ent will be in that city. It is probable that the Amesican Federa- tion of Labor will send a delegation ! as an honorary escort with the body to Chicago. PLAN SHAM BATTLE.

This is not the board’s action, it is their own. “‘Many carriers are giving their former employes the opportunity to reenter the service within a limited time. It must be understood now that men who remained in the service and those who are now entering it will have right of seniority that the board could not ignore.” “The chairman of the board's statement that ‘this is an individual utterance, but it expres: in sub- stance, the sentiments of a large majority of the members of the Railroad Labor Board,’ was justified y formal action of the board taken in its resolution of July 3, 1922, stated, among other things, as fol- lows Labor Board Resolution. “‘Be it further resolved, that the employes remaining in the service and the new ones entering same, be accorded the application and benefit of the outstanding wage and rule d cisions of the Railroad Labor)Board, until they are amended or modified by agre en with sald employes, arrived in conformity with ‘the transportation act, or by decision of the board, and “‘Be it further resolved, That if it be assumed that the employes, who leave the service of the carriers be- cause of their dissatisfaction with any dacisions of the Labor Board are with- 1 who pting such employment, that they are not strikebreakers seeking 16 im- pose the arbitrary will of an employer or employes; that they have the moral | as well as the legal right to engage in such service of the American public to avold interruption of Indispensable | railway_transportation, and that they are anfl'.letd tndfl'lah vl‘vlhbcflgn'zf every department and branch of the gov- ernment, state and national.” - Restoration Would Hit New Men. “It must be understood that any that employes now on strike permitted to return to the service without impairment of their seniority is merely another way of sugKesting FINAL TARIFF VOTE {Democrat and G. 0.

FORMER FAVOR AUG. 19 McCumber Thinks Date “Unneces- sarily Late” and Lodge Asks Time for Study. Passage of the administration tariff bill by the Senate this month seemed to be almost certain today as a re- sult of agreements reached separate- ly by republican and democradc leaders. Immediately after the Senate con- vened, Senator Simmons of North Carolina, minority leader in the tar- iff fight presented a proposal for a final vote on August 19. At the same time majority leaders made it known privately that they had conferred last night and agreed to propose two al- gust 15 and September 1, with the earlier date mostly in favor. G. 0. P. Not Consulted. The minority ‘proposition was agreed upon at a conference ‘of demo- cratic leaders early today. It was presented without consultation with the republicans, who asked time to consider it with the understanding that the whole matter would be takgn up in the Senate, probably tomorrow. Senator McCumber, ~ republican, North Dakota. in charge of the tariff, said the date suggested was ‘“un- necessarily late” and that the presen- tation of such an agreement to the Senate without previous conversa- ponents of legisiation was somewhat unusual. Senator Lodge of Massa- : chusettes, the republican leader, sahl he would like to have time to study the proposed agreement, and Senator Simmons agreed that he would not press it at this time. Detalls of Plan. Under the proposed agreement the Senate, on convening on August 19, would proceed without further debate to vote on all amendments that might then be pending and then on the bill itself. Not later than August 11, at 11 am., the Senate would proceed without further debate to vote on all committee amendments that might then be undisposed of and after that time and until August 19 the time for debate would pe equally divided be- tween the republicans and democrats. Senator Simmonsg said the democrats had not thought it feasible to make a proposition for a final vote until after the wool schedule had been disposed of, but that now the minority thought the Senate should come to some un- derstanding as to the date for final passage of the bill. Gooding to Ask Inquiry. Senator Gooding of Idaho, chair- man of the republican agricultural tariff bloc of the Senate, announced yesterday that he proposed to in- troduce a resolution to investigate the interests of all senators in the tariff schedules. He was one of the senators recently Senator Caraway of Arkansas, “I wgnt to know whether there is to_be any exception in this body. I want to know if a man who un- fortunately owns a few sheep has not the right to advocate and vote for protection of that_industry. “The senator from Nebraska, Mr. Hitchcock, owns a newspaper and Stands here for free wood pulp.

In the ideal industry, each individual would becomeé an owner, an operator and a manager, a master and a serv- ant, a ruler and a subject.” Trend Already Noticenble. Th~ trend toward this condition 1s already taking place in many Indus- tries, Mr. Coolidge added, citing the encouragement given employes to purchase stock, which “gives them ownership.” They are also acquiring “management,” he sald, through in- ducements to make suggestions for the better conduct of the business. to apply thelr inventive abil to share in determining their wages and con- ditions of labor, and benefit from the gene! prosperity of the concern for which they work by means of sliding scales and plece work. It must be remembered, the Vice President sald, that “the people are not created for the benefit of indus- try. but industry is created for the benefit of the people,” and capital and management perform a great service for the workman, Who, in turn, performs a corresponding serv- ice for them.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who as the direct representative of the White House, attended the meeting of i the 148 railroad chiefs yesterday and for nearly half an hour explained in detail the President’s program of settlement, conferred with the Presi- dent for more than half an hour to- day. He gave his chief a full account of the proceedings in New York, but other than to admit he called merely to make a report, Secretary Hoover would say nothing for publication. He did, howdver, express doubt that the President sometime today would make public a reply to the raliroad executive answer.
