In reply to an inquiry from the
Senate Banking Committee asking II
1t was advisable to attempt contrac.
ton of currency by legislation In the
hope of reducing prices, Governor
Harding wrote Chairman Mclean
that the growth in the volume of cir
culating notes was the effect and not
the cause of advancing wages and
prices, and hat the var period OF
finance would not be over until gov
eminent obligations, now carried by
the banks are absorbed through the
actual savings of the people.
Strong censure of strikes and ex-
travagance was implied in Mr.. Hard
ing's letter, which did not, however,
undertake to blame any one section
of the population, but referred to the
nation as a whole, especially to the
relation of economies practiced dur
ing the war and the purchase now OF
non-essential articles by persons en-
joying large incomes for the first
time.
1.-THE Federal Reserve Board be-
lieves that any currency legislation at
this time is unnecessary and undeSlr-
able" Mr.. Harding wrote, land would
suggest that the remedy for the pres
ent situation is to work and to save,
to work regularly and efficiently, in
order to distribute the largest pos

exercise reasonable economies in Or

now IS THE TINE, SAYS SENATOR MYERS.

Senator Myers, of Montana, man whom all
who know him respect and love, man OF mature
years, and man of careful thoughts as the results
of years on the bench in his home state, expressed
the thought of vast number of people of this ma
tion Yesterday In the upper house of congress when
he declared the time had come for a showdown on
whether the majority, representing the great pub
lie, or small minority, representing organized la
bor shall rule.
Anti-strike provisions of the Cummins rail-
road bill afford time and opportunity to make
the final test of the issue between the government
and organized labor" Senator Myers declared in
the senate Labor seeks power and advantage,
apparently with no thought of the common well
fare he declared, and the coal miners openly de-
fed an Injunction issued from high federal court.
Affirming his belief that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of Labor,
was unable to stem the tide of radicasm in the
ranks of American labor, the senator charged the
labor leaders had joined hands with radical ele
ments in the steel strike.
national railroad strike that continued two
weeks would cause the death Of FIVE to ten million
persons, Senator Myers said, supporting the anti
strike clause of the Cummins bill. When the roads
were losing million dollars day. he added the
railroad brotherhoods took advantage of the sit
uat;on to demand increased pay and support of
the Plumb plan of railroad ownership which he de-
rounced as form of sovierisn.' Mr. Gompers,
speaking before senate committee. had asserted
that if anti-strike provisions of the railroad bill
were enacted workers would nc: obey them, the
senator said, and added:
i favor taking up that challenge IF the fed
eral government cannot triumph in this battle
against the inner government, constitutional rule
IN this country is dead
The United Mine Workers of America are in
open rebellion against constituted government
They have trampled under foot a decree issued by
a high court. IF the government settles the Goa
strike by placing any further costs on the people
it will make mistake that will return to plague il
for many years to come.
Il believe that the people of the country have
reached a point where tLcir backs against the
wall and no choice remains except to fight the is
sue to the end.
There is a great difference of opinion on the
question of whether strikes should be outlawed, bu
Senator Myers words speak the truth as most peo
pie know Power used unjustly, for selfish aims o
for conquest is menace, whether in the hands o.
a political, capital or labor kaiser.
