PLUMB EXPLAINS RAILROAD BILL

TO COMMITTEE Counsel for Brotherhood on Witness Stand All Day Predicts Action. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. All day long from a witness chair before the house Interstate commerce committee, Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the railroad brotherhoods and author of organized labor's plan for tripartite control of the railroads, responded Friday to sharp questions from the semicircle of committee members, who called upon him to explain every phase of the labor bill. Through It all, Mr. Plumb clung steadfastly to the assertion, numberless times repeated, that the railroad unions aimed "to eliminate the motive of operation for profit and substitute the motive of operation for service," to which he added the corollary that "It means democracy in industry, without which democracy In politics is a mere shell and sham." Gravely, Plumb talked of revolution as an alternative in case the adoption of "some such plan" was not obtained by political action through congress, and said that was the determination of the masses of men whom he repre sented, "though I hope never to live to see the day." League Income Growing. The Income of the Plumb plan league, organized to forward the labor bill's passage, he said, was "in the neighborhood of $100,000 or $125,000 annually now," though only organized in July. He estimated that its Income shortly would be 500,000, and Implied that it might run up to five or six millions. All of it, he said, was com ing from brotherhood members. . "The situation is that our men believe they have come to a new day," Plumb told the committee. "They have spent their money and their lives to secure liberty and democracy in Industry they have only the shell of liberty to live. We intend to get It lawfully, and through the constitution by the ballot." "But if that is not possible, what will be done?" Representative Sanders, Republican, Indiana, asked. "Then It means something else." "What else?" the Indiana representative persisted. "Ah, there is no doubt In your mind or In mine as to that," Mr. Plumb responded. "If the forces of reaction prevent the adoption on this program by lawful means, we know the way of history." HOOVER TO STAY 'TILL CRISIS IS PASSED PARIS, Aug. 9. Herbert C.

Democrat, Nebraska, announced that he was opposed lo the plan of therailroad brotherhoods for reorganization of the railroads. Replying to an Inquiry from brotherhood officials in Nebraska: Senator Hitchcock said: "In my opinion, congress would not be justified in enacting such radical legislation without a mandate from the people. The railroad organizations have raised a very large question one that should not be passed upon by congress without becoming the issue in a general election. I am opposed to the bill." 409 VOTE TO RETURN AT INDIANAPOLIS (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind..

Don't Neglect Babies In Hot Weather, Warning Of Richmond Health Officer Now that a cool spell has arrived Richmondians are warned by the health officers to avoid relapsing into neglect of their babies. Every precaution should be taken to keep babies from taking cold, and they should be dressed warmer when the day or night turns cooler, and relieved of heavier clothing immediately when the temperature shows a sudden rise. Babies are very sensitive to both cold and heat, it must be remembered, say Richmond doctors. As a rule August is the heaviest mortality month of the entire year for babies. Saving babies' lives in summer is largely a matter of cleanliness and seclusion from contagion, says the board of health. Families who are going to take their children to summer resorts are warned to be perfectly sure that the water Is pure, and if they even suspect that it is not, every drop of water touched by the baby as well as the rest of the family should be boiled. Some important factors in reducing baby mortality are: Pure food, especially milk, to be provided by the community If necessary. Pure water supply. Nursing service to insure care for sick babies. Education of inexperienced mothers in methods of safeguarding their babies' health.

Two Years Needed To Build Adequate House Supply, Says Miller It will take at least two years to supply the presnt population of Richmond with a normal supply of residences, dwellings and apartment houses,, with all building crafts busy, is the opinion of Ora Miller, president of the Miller-Kemper Lumber company.

The importance is being pointed out to them of cor tin u ing the Suffrage work until the thrtty-six states hare ratified. $ Work for the ratification by th special session forms the present a of tivity of the organization. This will be followed by the work of the citizen ship schools. Also all possible help is being given to the National Ameri can Woman's Suffrage association, of which the state league is a branch? in its work for national ratification When this is over the league becomes automatically a branch of the League of Women Voters. At present the women of Indiana are not eligible to this organization, as they have only partial suffrage. As a preliminary to the state memorial service which will be held for Dr. Anna Howard Shaw in the early autumn, a number of Franchise league's over the state are planning local services. The first of these was held at Hammond. It was a vesper service held in the Baptist church, the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. Licklider, presiding. Prominent suffragists and officers of the leagues of Hammond and Crown Point each paid a tribute to the great leader, and. Dr. Licklider delivered a beautiful address. At the close, those present dedicated themselves again to the cause for which Dr. Shaw gave her life. One of the live wires of the Indiana Franchise League is the New Albany branch. A recent board meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Walter V. Bulleit, the secretary, on Silver Hills: A lawn party was held Tuesday night at the home of Miss Rockenbach, the. President of the league. The league Is also arranging for a decorated float in the Soldiers' Home Coming parade. They are planning on carrying out the program of the league, to make "Every Woman an Intelligent Voter in 1920," during the coming winter. ,. The profession of paid waitresses has been taken up by a number of members of the Elkhart league as a means of raising money for suffrage. They serve at the Saturday night dinner dances at the Country club and each woman turns over her $1.25 to the league treasury. A brief memorial service was held at the home of Mrs. A. G. Lewis, by the Portland league for Dr. Shaw. After its conclusion Mrs. Clarence Stephenson gave a talk on "What Indiana Women will bring before the legislature. Hon. H. H.
