WILL EXPLAIN "PLUMB PLAN"

ORIGINATOR TO OUTLINE SCHEME FOR SOLUTION OF PROBLEM OF RAILROADS.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. Glenn E. Plumb, originator of the Plumb plan for the administration of the railroads, will explain the details of his scheme to members of the University in Peabody Hall of Phillips Brooks House tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Graduate Schools Society of Phillips Brooks House, primarily for the graduate students of the University, but both graduate and undergraduates will be welcome.

Mr. Plumb is a lawyer who has made a name for himself by taking sides against corporations on several occasions. Largely on this account his services were engaged by the Railroad Brotherhoods. It was while he was in their service that he and his associates conceived the plan for railroad administration that at present bears his name. He has come to Boston for an indefinite period, probably about a week. While here he will fill many speaking engagements throughout Greater, Boston in the interest of his plan.

Board to Settle Wage Disputes.

In brief, this scheme provides for a national board of directors, one-third of whom will be elected by the workingmen and two-thirds of whom will be elected or appointed by the railroad officials and by the government. This board will control the wage disputes, appoint sub-committees, and will appraise all land taken over by the railroads. The plan also includes arrangements by which the government shall pay for half of the expense of any new additions to the railroad system, and the community benefited shall pay for the other half. The profits are to be divided by further arrangement.
