MYERS WOULD LIKE
 .TO SEE ANTESTR|KE
 PROVISION REMAIN
Says Time Is Ripe for Gov ernment to Make Final Test With Organized
 Labor Now
By Associated Press

Washington, December strike provisions of the Cummins railroad bill afford tine time and opportunity to make the final test of the issue between the government and organized labor, Senator Myers, democrat, Montana, declared to- day in the Senate.
 Labor seeks power and advantage, ap- parently with no thought of the common welfare, he declared and the coal miners
 openly defied an injunction issued from high feoeral court
 Affirming his belief that Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fedora ton of Labor. was unable to stem the tide of radicalism in the ranks of Amer ican labor, the senator charged the labor leader had joined hands with radical ele- ments in the steel strike.
 A national railroad strike that contin- ted two weeks would cause the, death of 5 100000 to 10000 900 persons, Senator Myers said. supporting the anti-strike clause of the Cummins bill. When the roads were losing s1, ,00ecDO day, he added. the rail- road brotherhoods took advantage of the situation to demand increased pay and support of the Plumb plan of railroad
 ownership which he denounced as a form Of sovietism." MT. Gompers, speaking before a Senate committee, had asserted that if anti-strike provisions of the rail- road bill were enacted workers would not obey them, the senator said and added:
 "I favor takiRg up that challenge If
 the federal. government cannot triomph ir this battle against the inner govern ment constitutional rule in this country is dead
 "The United Mine Workers of America are in open rebellion against constituted authority. They have trampied under | foot decree issued by high court. If the government settles the coal strike by placing any further costs on the people l it will make mistake that will turn to 1 plague it for many years to come. l 'Is believe that the people of the coun- ! try have reached a point where their i backs are against the wall, and choice
 remains except to fight the issue to the
 end"

The Presi- dents general statement that only one branch of the Congress, namely. the SeSl- ate. has any relation to foreign affairs, and the Senate only when it's advice is sought by the executive, is contradicted by 100 prece ients. Indeed the prece- dents have gone so far that in number of cases the advance has been the ad- vice of negotiation, and even as solemn engagements as treaties have been made not only upon the suggestion of the Sen ate but in the exact terms that the sen ate has suggested.
 By this resolution the Senate did not attempt to withdraw recognition or break off relations, but the concurrent resolu- ton contained a suggestion or request to the President that he do so. Such suggestion is entirely in harmony with precedent.
 ''The President states in the first para graph ef his letter that he shall exam inc it (my written memorandum fur nished him Friday night with the great est interest and care. What you told me of the investigation on Friday last prepares me to find it matter of the greatest importance.

 In addition to the national committee mon from every state, the republican state chairmen ali have been invited to be here this week, and large number of editors of republican newspapers are expected to atterd. Other party leaders also have drifGed to Washington to ex- change views and get share in the pre- liminary maneuvering that really marks the beglnning Of the national campaign.
 Many of the most influential had not yet arrived tonight, but by the time the mee.ias opens formally Wednesday the party managers expect the gathering to be one of the most complete of it's kind In the history of republicanism.
 Discussion of convention city did not get far today, the leaders apparently be- ing too interested in other questions 10 give it great attention. The St. Lotus delegation, winch arrived yesterday was active during the day, however, and the question is expected to take on more ln- terest tomorrow with the arrival of the Chicago boosters, headed by Mayor Thompson.
  before some of the other party leaders the results of canvass he recently made by letter of sentiment for national re- forms. Reports from republican mem bers of Congress and from state ana county chairmen, he said, pointed to Americanism, economy, better admins tratioa, lower taxes, solution of the labor probler1 and other subjects as popular issues. It was not thought likely, how ever, that the committee would act for rnally in outlirng any of the issues of the campaign.
 Although most of the jockeying in the interest of the presidential candidates IS being done quietly, virtually all of those whose flames have been associated With the nomination have friends busy here in their interest. John T. King, committee man for Connecticut and active in the movement for Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. arrived today and made plans 10 canvass the committee for his candidate.
 Chicag boosters were headed by Mayor Thompson They had planned to come on a special train, but telegraphed that they had changed their plans, because of the coal shortage

Would Double Cost.

Acceptance of these demands, with
the indirect increases inherent tooth
er items Of your demands, would more
than double the already high cost of
producing coal, with consequent large
direct and ind!rest additions to the cost
of living OF every citizen and ad
generalization and prostration of the
industry. Such wage increases are
impossible and their attempted en-
forcement would react with great
harm equally upon the nation and on
the individual miners you represent.
"What is the situation which we
face? Here we are on the threshold Of
winter. There is, comparatively speak
ing, but scant supply of coal in the
nations bins. If these men have their
way sta'9 of famine will be precipi-
tated upon the land or those sections
dependent upon bituminous coal. An
epidemic Of pneumonia or influenza is
likely, owing to the scarcity of coal.
