MANUFACTURERS DENOUNCE PLAN FOR RAILROADS

First Step Toward Soviet Control Declares Statement Submitted to Committee. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. The Plumb plan for reorganization of the railroads was denounced "as the first 6tep through the gateway of Btate socialism to the operation of transportation and industry under a societ control" la a statement submitted oday to the House Interstate Commerce Committee by Stephen C. Mason, president of the National Association ot Manufacturers. The association, with a membership of 5,000, contended that it was not only the right, but the duty of congress to exercise its authority "and define the limits within which business men or workingmen, capital or labor, employer or employee may go In threatening the transportation of the nation as a means of compelling acceptance of ecomonlc demands or political policies." "Congress," it added, "must assure either the protection of the paramount interest of the public in the continent operation of the railroads or abdicate its regulatory authority to selfish and irresponsible combinations of private persons."

FEW ASK SOCIAL SERVICE FOR AID, DESPITE H, C, L.

In spite of the fact that living costs are higher now than they have been at any time since the Social service bureau was organized, there have been s fewer requests for public aid made to social agents of the county during the past three months than there bare been at any time in the history of the organization, according to records of the bureau. At the present time, according to social workers of the bureau, there is

not an able-bodied man in the city, who has a family, who ia not working, and the wages being paid to laborers are as a rule much higher than formerly. Practically the only cases brought to the attention of the social service bureau, where aid has been given, are those where the wage earner of the family has been unable to work, either through sickness or accident Every man who is able to do any work at all, If he has a family to support, is employed. But with all of the men employed in the city, employers of labor are still calling for more men, and many large contractors are having considerable difficulty in obtaining sufficient help to carry on their work. Men are now being sought for employment at the east yards, where

work has been started on completing the new yards of the Pennsylvania, and it is probable that there are 200 men needed to complete this work. Efforts are also being made to hire men for work on the Main street

bridge, and other public construction work on roads and the like throughout the county.
