AN EASY SOLUTION.

Glenn Plumb, the author of the Plumb plan of railway operation, is one of the speakers imported to stump the state in the interest of Messrs. Frazier, Lynn and Hagan in what is left of the recall campaign. Mr. Plumb's plan is that the government should take over the railroads and turn them over to the employees to be managed. If there are any profits the workmen are to share in them. If there are losses, there being no other means of meeting them, the government must make them good.

Mr. Plumb says that he had information some time ago that Wall Street had decided that there would be a strike, and had fixed November 2 as the ultimate date for it. The reason why Wall Street desired a strike is that the interests wished to cover up their own inefficiency by placing all blame on the railway employees.

It will be news to the many thousands of railway men who voted for a strike that they were carrying out the plans of Wall Street. It is strange that Plumb, having this information, did not warn before the vote was taken. But it is not likely to frustrate the evil designs of Wall Street. The employees, being duly informed, have wisdom in their own hands. All they need do is call the strike off.

Imagine the confusion and disappointment of Wall Street barons if they should wake up one morning and find that there isn't to be any strike after all—through their diabolical scheme and perversely insist on remaining at work! Three rousing cheers for Mr. Plumb for making this information public.
