R. R. WORKERS TO STRIKE
IF CUMMINS ACT PASSES
Union Machinists Give Notice
They'll Go Out in Protest TO
Pending Measure.
BY Associated Press 70 Every Evening

Washington. Dec. 26.-Ninety eight
per cent Of the l25,O 900 union railway
machinIsts voted in November to strike
with other trades if Congress should
enact the Cummins railroad bill with its
anti-strIke provision.
In making this announcement today
William II. Johnston, president OF the
international Association of Machinists,
said the vote was taken before the Senate
interstate commerce committee reported
out the Cummins measure and that the
result was not officially published because
the association did not want to appear
in the attitude of attempting TO threaten
Congress.
The machinists' membership ls around
half q million, but not more than l25 900
of this number are employed on railroads.
President Johnston explained that the
strike vote stipulated that union railway
macbinists would quit work if the Cum
minis bill was passed by both branches of
Congress not by one.
When the roads were taken over by
the government, the employees were free. F"
Mr. Johnston said. land we propose that
if they are turned back to private owner
ship, the employees shall be equally free.
There is no necessity for such drastic
legislation as is provided for in the Cum
Minis bill There never has been general
railroad strike and there never will be,
in my opinion"
So far as labor officials are advised they
viii not be given another hearing by
Senate or House committees, but they
will keep up the fight against the anti
strike section, it was said, and appeal
finally to President Wilson TO veto the
bill if it should be enacted with that
cIa1rsc intact.
