C NEARS RUMBLING Of INDUSTRIAL STORM Strikes Straws Showing Direction of Wind, Says Garretson MATTER UP TO CONGRESS Says Labor Not Seeking to Overthrow Government, But Demands Government Act Washington, Aug. 11.--Nine-tenths of the energies of labor leaders are given to the job of sitting on the lid, Austin B. Garretson, former head of the Order of Railway Conductors, tes tified today before the House Inter state commerce committee, which is seeking to solve the problem of how best to handle the railroads after the war-time period of federal control. Sporadic strikes throughout the country, Garretson said with great earnestness, merely are straws which show how the wind is blowing over a sea of industrial unrest. Rumblings heard in many quarters do not mean, he said, that laboring people want to overthrow the government, but indi cate a demand that the government function. It is largely in the power of Con gress, the witness declared, to allay the feeling. Action Necessary. "But it can not be (lone by inaction,' he shouted. "Somehow the A merican people are not prone always to do to (lay what may be (lone tomorrow, un less an emergency forces its to act, and then we break all records." Describing himself as a man who had been pilloried by the press from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Garretson told the committee he had traveled a long way to speak in behalf of the Plumb plan which would give labor a voice in-the management of railroads the people would own. But he did not regard the Plumb platn, he said, as more than one factor in stilling the spirit of present-day unrest, nor did he think it would 'change human na ture or other things that can be elimi nated." Unusual Attention. "I am not a dreamer of dreams,' he told the committee, which gave un usual attention to his testimony, for his appe'rance on the stand put a new breath of life in the railroad hearing, now apiloaching its second month. The usual method of dealing with wit.. nesses was abandoned, largely at Gar retson's request. lie had no state ment in written form, when he started to speak, as he expressed it, he did not know where he would stop, and for two hours lie was subjected to a rapid cros-fire of questions from a dozen members, and for each of which lie had a quick reply. Mr. Garretson, who had been waiting since early last week to be heard was called to the stand after Glen E. Plumb, the man who framed organiz ed labor's bill, had concluded his testi mony. Plumb Plan Limits. There was no desire, he said, to ex tend the Plumb pain beyond those in dustries in which men worked with their hanids.
