Sees Plumb Plan as Rallying Point For the Nationalization of Industry By Associated Press. Washington, Sept. 12.—The Plumb plan for tri-partite control of the railroads under government owner ship must be "buried beyond all hope" if it is not to be made a "ral lying point" for the nationalization of all industry Edgar J. Rich, trans portation counsel for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, declared to-day before the House Interstate Commerce Committee considering legislation for final disposition of the railroads. Mr. Rich, who also spoke for the Manufacturers Associations of 22 states and the Massachusetts Cham ber of Commerce, said the Plumb plan, like Bolshevism was a "perver sion" of the principle of socialism in that it would benefit only one class and deny the socialistic theory of the "general public good." The railroads under the plan, he said, would be op erated "for the benefit of the work ers," while the public would assume all risk of loss. The greatest defect of the plan, he declared, is that the two thirds rep resentation given the workers and railroad officers on the proposed wage fixing board, would enable the work ers to "dominate" the board and fix their own wages regardless of reve illes. with the public to stand any resultant losses. "The author of the plan," said Mr. Rich, "claims there would be an in centive for efficient operation because every worker would be entitled to a share in the surplus. But after the employes had helped themselves to what wages they wanted, does any one believe there would be any sur plus? Why should the employes care to accumulate a surplus, one half of which they can have, when they can get the whole and more by adjusting their own wages." REPUBLICANS GOING STRONG [Continued from First Page.] ing which might affect the strength of the organization hereafter. Of course, there is more or less argument about this or that candi date and his special qualifications as well as his peculiar weakness, but lor the most part the voter is en deavoring to find out who of the several candidates for office is best qualified for public service. There has not been a time in which Re publicans have demonstrated more general interest in the choice of candidates. Those who are charged with the details of party management are quite confident that sueh a ticket will be nominated next Tuesday us well commend itself to the average Republican. While there are bound to be disappointments the fortunes of political welfare are appreciated by the average aspirant for office and he is generally disposed to accept the result in the proper spirit, linker in Charge The working organization of Dau phin county comprises a campaign alignment With W. Harry Baker, secretary of the Senate as chairman of the Candidates' Campaign Com mittee and A. S. Cooper as secre tary and treasurer. Upon these two depends in large measure the work ing out of details and both are past masters in political and party rou tine. They have been given assur ances of the co-operation of the party workers everywhere in the city and county and Chairman Baker only laughs when it is sug gested that the Democrats are pre paring to raid the Republican pri mary. He believes that such talk clearly indicates a state of mind growing out of the absolute disrup tion of the Democratic machine. "We are forced to show our hand in the choice of some candidates," said a well known ward leader to day, "because the friends of certain candidates have chosen to present a ticket with ti've open declaration that it is opposed to the present Republican organization of the city and county. We would be pretty' poor fighters if we didn't accept their challenge and let the Republi can workers and voters know the candidates whom we favor. There will be no doubt on that score at the primaries. We have not invited the } issue, but shall not sidestep it since j it has heen forced upon us by those who hope to gain votes for their favorites by assailing the regular Republican organization. As to Former Democrats "For instance," said ho "we are r.ot going to be stampeded by former ' Democrats who have wol bled into the Republican party and are now brazenly attempting to dictate our nominees. For instance, there is 'llort' Fritche.v. He is a Republican for a while, then ran as a Demo- ! cratic delegate to the national con vention at Baltimore and was elect ed. He then became a candidate for postmaster and being turned down by the Wilson administration again I dropped the Democracy and is now I hack in the Republican camp as a booster for the ticket that has been placed in the field in an effort to defeat the Republican organization." The same leader declared that Al derman John H. Shaner, of the Sev enth ward, ran as a Democrat for the aldermanic office as late as 1915, "subject to the rules of the Demo- ] cratic'party"; that ho was president! of the John A. Fritchey Democratic flub, hut managed to slip into the ! aldermanic office through a factional ! controversy among Seventh ward Republicans at that time. Alder man Shaner is making a canvass for the Republican nomination for mayor and his former political affi liations are discussed wherever party workers meet. It all makes the can- ' vass decidedly interesting and re- I produces to some extent the discus sion i n Philadelphia over a Demo crat who is in the limelight on the j Republican primary ticket. With | theso factors in the fight the cam- i paign is not without sufficient ginger to arouse the workers and get out the vote. Another prominent Republican organizer said to-day, when asked as to the situation: "The Doehne ticket doped out to defeat candidates hacked by the Republican organiza tion is being boosted by "Bert" Frit chey and George W. Mcllhenny, the chief anti-organization tacticians. On the side of the "independents" it is declared that the slating of can didates is the Basis of their fight and that they have announced their selections in order to make a more vigorous campaign. They admit that the placing of their O. K. on certain aspirants opens them to criticism and the charge of inconsistency when thev accuse other Republicans of an alleged slate, but as one of them declared this afternoon all is fair in love and political warfare. If we are defeated we shall show that we are real Republicans by support ing the nominees." HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL The Church of God of Eberly's Mill will hold its Harvest Home service Sunday evening.

Ignore Wilson's Request For $825,000 to Cover Peace Commission Expense By Associated Press. Washington, Sept. 12.

The measure, however, reim- Jbu rises the State Department for $388,000 advanced to the Commis sion, and committeemen explained that this was regarded as a charge against the account asked by the President. No further action on the Com mission's expenses is contemplated, members of the Committee an nounced, until detailed information of the expenses is presented to the Committee. Traction Office Force Spend Evening in Open The employes of the general office force of the Harrisburg Traction Company were, invited by Mr. and Mrs. John Barry, of North Sixth street , to an outing at their summer home in I Marysville, last evening.

Toasted marshmallows com- \ pleted the feast and later in the eve- ' ning ice cream and cake were served. Friendly chat, clever stories, music ' and a general good time were thor oughly enjoyed. • j APPORTION IIIG RAIL ORIIKR It was learned yesterday that the | recent order for 200.000 tons of rails plaed by the Railroad Administration was apportionced so that the United States Steel Corporation received 90,- 000 tons and the Bethlehem Steel Cor poration and the Lackawanna Steel Company 110,000 tons. The division on this basis, it was ; learned, was decided upon because ' a large part of the order is needed ' by Eastern roads and production by 1 the Bethlehem and Lackawanna com panies would reduce the cost by mak ing the haulage shorter.

' "Miss Ely was the first woman to cross the Rhine after the armistice, when she marched into Germany with the First Division, walking every step of the way, so as not to use any of the transportation so badly needed for many things. So the little matter of walking from 110 th street to Twelfth in the parade will hardly worry her. "The reasons for the two stars on her Croix de Guerre date back to the latter part of 1917 and all of 1918, when she worked with "the fight ingest Division." as the First was known in its combat areas—not more than two kilometers from the front lines at one time, in Saizery, in the Tonl sector. "Then, there was the time when Miss Ely used to sleep every night in the clover fields just out from Cantigny, because the houses were so often bombed that the clovers, even those that weren't four-leaf clovers, semed a far luckier shelter. There was the tinio when she help ed evacuate a French village bo cause women and children couldn't remain in a place apt to be blown off any moment.
