N SRR T S S e i oo R e PAGE EIGHT on the Cummins bill, which a majority of the senate committee on interstate . commerce had agreed upon. This bill makes it a crime for any two railway employes to agree to quit work to- gether. In two days -of testimohy by Stone, " Samuel Gompers, Glenn E. Plumb, Andrew Furuseth, W. N. Doak of the Railway Trainmen, P. J. McNamara of the Railway Firemen and S. J. Heberling, representing railway shops and maintenance service employes, the senate committee learned that organ- ized labor proposed to ignore the anti- strike provision if the Commins bill should pass. “I tell you that I would as freely go on strike after the enactment of this law as before,” said Gompers. “It is utterly hostile to the spirit of the Con- stitution and of the American people. It is an attempt to fix involuntary - servitude upon 2,000,000 free Ameri- cans. It can not be done.” Glenn Plumb, counsel for the miore than 1,500,000 organized workers on the railroads, led the attack on the Cummins scheme. “This bill is an attempt by law to deprive the workers of any effective means of collective bargaining,” he said. “A strike is not the cause of disorders, but the result of disorders in the economic system. To forbid a strike is like forbidding a man to have yellow fever; instead of tracing the cauge, and killing the mosquito, you penalize the sufferer;. The result is that you kill him. You will either kill ,the railroad industry, if this legisla- tion is enforced, by compelling all the men to quit their jobs singly, or you will force a strike that will have the effect of an industrial revolution.” Plumb - stated that organized labor had “gone farther in the past six months than in a generation before.” It would refuse to give up its right to strike, not only because the strike could be employed to defend its share of the goods it produced, but be- cause the strike could be used to reduce the cost of living. : “This is by. all odds the most reac- - tionaty measure yet offered in con- gress,” said-‘Stone, as he passed from —Drawn expressly for the Leader by W.

Or will congress pass the Cummins bill, forbidding - 2,000,000 men to strike against the autocratic requirements of owners of private capital? Will con- gress decree that nearly $20,000,000,- 000 of watered securities shall forever be guaranteed by the government, and” the private railroad corporations be permitted to tax the food and clotl3ing of all the people for dividends of 6 per cent, forever, on this fraud?
