DON'T LIKE THE AMENDMENT.
The Government Will Not Present the
Commoners' Reply to the Queen.

The Government Will Not Present the
Commoners' Reply to the Queen.
LONDON, March 14.-The house OF
commons was crowded with members
and visitors to-day. Sir VIM. Harcourt
announced that the government had
taken advice from all available sources,
and had decided to make the decla a.
tion that tho judgment given last night
In amending the address did not show
mature and we'll considered decision
OF the house of commons
This was grave question, he said,
and the government would not present
the address, as amended, TO the queen.
Consequently the government proposed
TO bring up new address amounting
merely to an acknowledgements Of the
speech from the throne. a. j. Balfour,
conservative leader, was greeted with
prolonged cheers as he arose to reply to
the governments announcement. The
Conservatives, Balfour said, would not
object to the government eating it's own
address.
The opposition had no desire to take
advantage Of the governments diff
Guilty, but were prepared to assist in
extricating them from their UNPLEASANT
position.
Labouchere, amid cheers and laugh
ter, defended his amendment, the sue
cess of which abundantly justified it's
presentation. 1T was not intended as u
vote of want of confidence n the gov.
eminent. but was merely intended to
hasten their action.

THE WAGES TOO SMALL.
Puddlers Refuse to Work at s2.I5 Per
Dav Rate

Puddlers Refuse to Work at u S2.I5 Per
Dav Rate
1t was the intention of the officials of
the Roanoke Iron Company to start up
their rolling mill on Monday next, but
the puddlers refused to work for the
money offered them, and unless some
agreew en5 is reached between this time
and Monday the mill will remain idle.
The men have been out Of work for
some tim and have been drawing sup
plies from the com pany's commissary
so that some of them are deeply in debt.
Superintendent Lentz called the
puddlers together yesterday morning,
and informed them that the company
had decided to resume operations and
store the iron, as they had no orders for
1t at present. He offered the men SO
per ton. This offer was refused by the
puddlers, but, owing to the fact that
they were indebted to the company,
they agreed to work for SO so per ton,
the price paid them when they stopped
work. Mr. Lentz would not accept this
proposition
Unless some arrangement is made by
which the men can resume work their
condition will become serious. One OF
them informed reporter Of THE TIMES
yesterday afternoon that they could no
longer procure supplies at the commits
sary without money and that they would
have to leave Roanoke.
Under the So so scale the puddlers can
make between S,.40 and So 65 per day,
while under the So 90 scale their wages
Will average about SO. Is per day.
