LONDON, April 10-The government
having succeeded in rushing the Irish land
bill through lis first stages when
the Irish party were fighting
on the quest ion Of leadership show
determination 10 follow q similar policy

among the Liberals on several important
points OF the bill, aud the diversity OF
opinion among the Irish members adds
nightly TO The governments power to

LABOR COMMISSION.
Close scrutiny OF the personnel OF the Ia
Dor commission confirms the belief that the
government does not intend to per-
NIT hazardous questions - 20 the
basis OF the relations Of labor
and capital to be considered Roughly
classified capital has fourteen representa-
tiyes and labor thirteen. Smith states that
the commission Will investigate questions
affecting relations between employe and
employer, and the conditions Of labor raised
during the recent trade disputes, and would
report on the question whether
legislation could, with advantage. be
directed 10 remedy any evils disclosed.
The notable omission OF the AGRICULTURAL
troubles and the absence Of Gllusiou 10 the
land question stamp the commission Us the
creation Of cabinet OF landlords. Lord
Harrington, who is notorious US chair
man, IS noted as actually having slept
through the proceedings even while pre-
siding. He will do anything 10 avoid
trouble. Whatever real work the commission
sccomplishcs will fall On MIR. Dale, an iron
manufacturer and an able captain OF in
dustry, who is IN full sympathy with the
artisans. and Alessrs. Mann and Mandsley.
Viewing the commission IS Z whole, the
socialist faGS have the smallest chance Of
discussion. Whatever work is done will
apply to immediate remedial legislation OF
practical character.
