To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Your editorial in Saturday's CRIMSON contained the following misstatements of fact: Under the Plumb plan (1) the railroads would be managed by the employees; (2) the employees of the railroads would be effective control over the hours they work and over the pay they would receive for that work; and asked the following question: How would the true worth of the railroad be estimated?

Perhaps your readers will be interested in the following statements of fact: Under the Plumb plan (1) the railroads would be managed by a board of fifteen directors, five named by the President to represent the public; five elected by the operating officials; five elected by the classified employees; (2) this board of directors would have complete control over the hours the employees work and over the pay they would receive for that work; (3) the true worth of the railroads would be determined by the courts. JOSEPH HORBLIT 1G.
