DRASTIC ACTION
 BY RAIL UNIONS. |S IMP PROBABLE
Meeting Monday Called to Determine Attitude of Brotherhoods on Cummins Rail Bill-Believe Wilson Would Veto Any Anti Strike Measure
IRepubiican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The atti- tude of organized railroad employees toward the anti-strike provision of the Cummins railroad bill will be formally stated in 9 declaration of principles to be drafted by the heads of all the brotherhoods at a conference here Monday with President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor.
 Labor leaders declared today that nothing drastic was to be expected" but the general view among organized workers was that the affiliated trades ists' union, which voted to quit work if congress enacted the anti-Strike provision. Senators and representa- tives now in Washington expressed the opinion, however, that the house would never accept the bill as it came from the senate, and that even if it should pass. President Wilson would veto it.
 Expect Presidential Veto
 The possibility of presidential veto has been given serious considerat ion by members of congress, who realize lation before the roads are hanlei back to their owners, March 1. Labcr leaders called attention today to this statement by the president in his message to congress four weeks ago:
 The right of iodividuals to strike IS inviolate and ought not to be inter- fered with by any process of govern ment, but there is a predominance of the government to protect all Of it's people and to assert it's power and majesty of any class
 This one sentence was variously in- terpreted by brotherhood officers as a virtual announcement by the presi- dent that he would not sign a. bill denying the right to strike and by Senator Cummins and others as notice by the president that even if the right to strike was inviolate, the rights of the public stood over and above it.
 Regardless of Ivliat action might be taken by the brotherhoods. the be- lie or prevailed in congressionai circles got through with the Cummins and Each bills, no vestigafe of the anti strike section would remain.
 The conferees twill begin work next week after Senators Cummins and Kellogg. republican,, Minnesota. return.
 Senate. Conferees Favor Clause
 All of the senate conferees voted for the labor clause ana are expected to make a hard fight in conference for it's retention. On the straight senate test an amendment to eliminate the section was defeated. 39 to 24.
 Some idea of the attitude of the house. however was given today by members who said that the anti-strike clause could not command 50 votes in that body.
 The heads of the four big brother hoods and the 10 affiliated trades will be here Monday for the conference with President Gompers. which was called for the specific purpose of con- sidering pending railroad legislation Committees representing the six shop trades have an appointment that day with Director General Hines for dis cussion of wage demands, but it was said this might be deferred until Tuesday.

 We had no steam or heat, he added. ''The deck force rigged up a hand pump and that is the only reason we didn't just naturally founder where we were.''
 Through an auxiliary wireless set, MT. Meyers said, the Princess May communicated with the steamship Jeff ferson. and a coast guard cutter lowed the vessels to Delaware breakwater Later the liner was lowed to New York by the tug Warrior.
