Bryan Denounces
Private Ownership
of the Railroads
Washington, Aug. 30. William
Jennings Bryan laid before the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee his dual plan of State and
Federal ownership of railway lines
as a solution of the railroad reor
ganizatTßn problem. In doing so,
the former Secretary of State de
nounced private ownership of the
railroads as indefensible and intol
erable and characterized railroad
magnates as political corruptionists.
"We have never tried Govern
ment ownership," declared Mr.
Bryan, refering to the railroad ad
ministration. "A subsidized news
paper never thinks to tell that the
Government took over the railroads
when the private owners could not
run them. The Government has
been only in temporary control, and
the roads in the hands of those who
wanted to see Government ownership
fail so they could get the roads
back."
Philadelphia Theaters
Await End of Strike
Philadelphia, Aug. 30. As a re

Lucille" and the Adelphia with
"Toby's Bow' as the attraction last
night closed the advance > sale of
seats, withdrew their advertisements
and will refund money received in
the advanced sale.
In theatrical circles the opinion
was expressed that it is unlikely
any legitimate attraction will be
shown in Philadelphia until the
strike is settled.
