Plea for Public Power

Plea for Public Power | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
A man stands at a podium and reads from a sheet of paper. Several men are seated at tables and desks, and are looking at him. Caption reads: "PLEA FOR PUBLIC POWER in New England to stimulate industry is being made here by Solomon Barkin, TWUA research director, as CIO spokesman before a Hoover Commission task force on water resources. Barkin blamed private-utility lobby's greed for region's industrial decline. At desk in rear is Admiral Ben Moreell, presiding officer at the hearing. Glum-faced listeners are members of the task force."
