Three Plans to be Offered
1924 Campaigns Involve Transportation Problems
Washington, May 7.—Three sets of plans for setting the country's transportation problem will be urged on the country in a political battle over railroads which may thwart all areas in the 1924 political campaign.
President Harding and his admin-
istration will have one plan,—a
fairly efficient program, based on a
knowledge of the building lines into /
score of great systems.
Senator LaFollette and his partisans will have another, based upon squeezing all the water out railroad cars to the heart of halfway government control.
The Democrats—or at least the McAdoo group of democrats—will have a third, which probably will represent a compromise between government ownership and control and a non-competitive plan.
