RAILWAY UNION
 MEN TO TAKE
 STAND ON BILL
Will Adopt Declaration Con- corning the Railway
 Measure

Washington, Dec. 27.-The atti
 tude of the organized railway em .ployes toward the antl-strlk
 provisions of the Cummins rail
 road bill will be formally state
 in a declaration of principles t
 be drafted by the heads of all tn brotherhoods at a conference her
 Monday with President Gomper of the American Federation of La bor.
 Labor leaders declared toda! that nothing drastic was to be eX pected" but the general view among organized workers was tha' affiliated trades would stand bS the railway machinists' union which voted to- quit work. if con- gress enacted the anti-strike pro vision. Senators and representa- tives now in Washington cypress ed the opinion, however, that the house would not accept the bill as it came from the senate and that even if it should pass, President Wilson would veto it.
 The possibility of a presidential veto has been given serious con- sideration by members of congress who realize the necessity of en- acting proper legislation before the roads are handed back to their owners on March 1. Labor leaders in discussing this eventuality also caled attention today to this state ment by the president in his mes sage to congress four weeks ago.
 ''The right of individuals to strike is inviolate and ought not to be interfered with by any process of government, but there is predominant right of the gov ernment to protect all of it's peo- pie and to assert it's power and against the challenge of any class"
 This one sentence was variously unexpectedly brotherhood off cers as a virtual announcement by the president that he would not sign a bill denying the right to strike-and by Senator Cummins. and others as notice by the presi- dent that even if the right to strike was inviolate, the rights of the public stood over and above it.
 Regardless of what action might be taken by the brotherhoods the belief prevailed in congressiona circles that when Senate anc House conference wot throug witl, the Cummins and Esch bills, nc vestige of the anti-strike sectio, would remain. The conferees will begin work next week after Sena- tor Cummins and Senator Kellogg republican, Minnesota, return hers from North Carolina.
 All of the senate confereas vot- ed for the labor clause and are expected to make hard fight in conference for it's retention. Or the straight senate test an amend. ment to eliminate the section was defeated 39 to 34. Some idea of the attitude of the house, however, was given today by members who said that the anti-strike clause could not command fifty votes in that bOdv.

Declaring that they had no disposition

embarrass the officials Of tho city, tho
officers of the Amalgamated Association
OF Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployees of America assured Mayor Hylan
yesterday that they would take no ac-
ton looking to a strike on the surface
lines while the present situation exists"
The assurances were contained in a
letter from Louis Fridiger. who said he
had been asked to send them by p j.
Shea, representative of the Amalgsmated
in this city. The letter said:
II have been requested by Mr.. Shea,
who at present represents in New York
city the Amalgamated Association Of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
OF America, to give you our assurance
that as far as the Amalgamated Associa-
ton is concerned there will be no strike
or effort made to cause one on the sur
face lines OF this city while the present
condition and situation exist, and that
we will do everything in our power not
to further Inconvenience the public or
embarrass the officials Of this city.
I'VE fully realize the deplorable con-
ditions brought about by the action taken
by the Interborough Brotherhood. and
you may rest assured that no act Of ours
will even tend to further add to the
burden already put upon the public and
the city. officials by said action.
TT has been said that the undue haste
shown by the brotherhood in calling the
strike was caused, among other things,
by their effort to prevent the organisa-
ton of n real labor union on the road.
Irrespective. OF what result might obtain
ir this respect, We further assure you OF
our hearty and sincere cooperation
throughout this situation, and that We
will always be willing, as far as our Or
sanization Ia concerned. to accept tho
good offices Of the officials of this city In
and effort to avoid a similar situation"
