They want, guaranteed dividend yielding property. Judge Lovett, | ident of the Union Pacific railroad, recently told a con- ional committee: “If the railroads were turned back | © their owners today under existing conditions it is not too! h to say that half of the roads would go into bankruptcy | the dividend-paying roads would have to reduce their} dend payments.” All plans propose changes in pre-war conditions, All! ould prevent past vested wrongs from becoming future d rights. | ‘Labor will have living wages and a democratic voice in try. Owners demand dividends on capital actually ested.
