THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-In the house of COM
mons today, in discussing the employers
liability bill, as amended by the house of
lords, Mr.. Samuel Woods, member for one
of the Lancashire divisions, and a labor
representative, said that. on behalf of 30,
900 miners, he opposed the compromise,
declaring that the minars preferred that
the bill be deferred, as public opinion
would soon force it through the house in
its original form.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain said that it was
wire-pulling amendment, adding that
the trades union congress did not repre-
sent all the workingmen, who, he believed
did not favor the bill, which would not
only destroy existing insurance arrange
ments, but would prevent future arrange
ments.
John Burns said that he regretted that
the government: had accepted the COM
promise, as ii it had adhered to the Or
igiual plan, tie lords must have yielded.
Mr. Burns warned the leaders of the Oppo-
siLion that if the lords rejected the bill,
the trade unionists, numbering l,500, 0O0
would be Joined by 500 900 members of
friendly societies. MIR. Burns remarked
that If the government stuck to the bill,
its majority ut the next election would be
Increased to $50. This last statement was
received with opposition jeers
The house, by vote OF 1919 to 1917 then
adopted Mr.. Asquith's motion to omit
from the bill the house of lords amend
ment requiring that claims must be taken
from insurance funds to which the en-
ployers' had contributed one-thirc, and
involving an appeal TO law where the
funds were not sufficient 10 meet the
claims and the employers declined TO
cover the deficiency.
The house of lords amendments, as
amended, were then agreed to.
Mr.. Henry Priton Cobb proposed, as a
second compromise amendment TO the
bill, that any existing agreement between
workmen and their employers should be
excluded from the bill for three years.
Home Secretary Asqulth accepted this
amendment, as affording, in his opiuiou. a
reasonable basis for an arrangement.
The Right Hon. A. J. Baltour the Con-
servative leader, said that the Couserva-
tives would resist to the utmost the
llusory preteuse of compromise He
was certain that the house or lords amend
ment would be accepted by an oyerw helm
ing majority.
Finally the house adopted Mr. Cobb's
amendment by vote of 225 TO al3, aud
then adjourned until Thursday, when the
amendments to the parish councils bill
will be taken up.
The unexpected smallness of the Glad.
stone majority in the votes is explained
10y the fact that twenty Irish Natioualists
we're absent and impaired, and that sew.
.ral Liberals voted against the govern
1ent, as protest against any concession
being granted to the peers
In the house of lords today the psrish
councils bill was read for the third time.

that the Gap was dumped into the

forever blighted. True il is that af.

Tho Strike.

The great coal miners strike the
most important that ever occurred iii
America is practically over. The
result Of the compromise is to slightly
raise the price for mining in Penn
sylvania and some other Eastern
mines and to lower the price in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
The western miners are not salts
FED with the scale, and in many in
stances have refused to return to
work, but it is believed that they
will all be back again before the ex-
piration of a week.
It is hard to predict what the re-
salt Of the strike will be. So far, it
hss tended to lower rather than raise
prices Of iron, but many furnaces
have gone out Of blast not to so i'll
again soon, and it is hoped that the
price OF iron and kindred products
will eventually advance.

Diversified Industries.

The cigar factory started by Good
loe Brothers is a step in the right
direction. The continued growth and
prosperity Of urban communities de
pend largely upon what are known as
the small industries.
In addition to the cigar factory,
Goodies are contemplating can
ming factory This will not only be
a paying industry but will give the
adjacent farmers and truck growers
market for their surplus products.
One store above this place purchased
two ear loads Of canned goods last
season, and with the commencement
of cur coal and coke development a
market will be opened for the product
of more than one large cannery.
Letsome one now start a factory
of low priced hard wood furniture.
There is a large profit and steady
business for the pioneer in this line.
We have hard wood Of all kinds in
great abundance. A factory for the
manufacture Of axe and ether handles
would do well.
The supply Of cheap hard woods
should make the manufacture of bur-.
ial cases very profitable business.
We want more enterprises Let our
people wake up to the fact that a
great future is Just ahead Of us.

In the matter Of education, the re-

energy and laudable spirit, may be
expected to accomplish.
If we could persuade the intend
ing builders to erect those coke ovens

much about, the town would lu1ur

long, before those ovens are in full

all things. So let us extend our pa

Wood Pulp.


A ride through the section where
the log men are at work getting out
yellow poplar, reveals the fact that
thousands Of cords Of the very finest
material fer manufacturing paper is
going to waste which could be had
fora trife.
There is no industry in the land
that pays q better percentage of profit
under favorable conditions than the
manufacture of wood pulp. One sees
the great laps and croches of the
magnificent giants Of the forest left
to lot, when little industry and
capital would mould them into gllt-
tering shining gold. Millions upon mil
lions Of feet Of yellow poplar are being
cut and will continue to be cut for the
next twenty years and it would sur
prise the lumbcrman to tell him that
the laps and refuse he leaves in the
woods is worth more to manufacture
into wood pulp than the smooth
symmetrical logs which he pre-empts
to himself will bring him to manu-
facture into lumber. Nevertheless,
this is exactly SO. With a wood
pulp mill run by our unsurpassed
water power mine of wealth would
be opened both to labor and capital.

Protection.

WAIT little longer.
Protection.
a sweet sound, with confronting
assurance, has this ord"protection."
1t savors of peace and plenty, and
seems to beckon the weary and heavy
laden to green pastures and still wa
tiers. 1t speaks Of strength aud pow
err to vindicate helpless right and to
nightly befriend the oppressed. 1t
brings to mind a sense of justice with
majesty and of philanthropy with
the force Of law.
All these charming imaginatlons
have been used for more than gen
GRAFTON to introduce into our cavern
ment and justify a system Of taxation
as oppressive as slavery and more
dangerous, because more insidious
ana far-reaching.
"Thc words of his mouth were
smoother than butter, bnt war was in
his heart; his words were softer than
oil, yet were they drawn swords"
The bottom idea in the mind and
heart of the protectionist is to get
something-and the more the better
out of his fellow citizen without
paying forit Unless he got an adj
vantage he would not want the pro
lection, and could not pay as he
does.
AS a tariff maker the mask of pa
triotism and philanthropy has been
torn from the face of avarice and sell
fshucss, and the congressional pro-
tectionist now stands before the
country as both greedy and unscrup
ulous.
The finest development of the true
character of the protectionist has,
however, been recently disclosed in
New York political circles. AS the
friend eff N[aude Harvey, George APP
pc and their associates the protec-
zionist is at his best.
There is no room for any protesta-
tions of America for Americans, home
market, homo industries, &C., DC,
when the protection is paid for by
and granted to keepers Of gambling
dens, houses for abandoned women,
bunco steerers and green goods deal
ers. Even the morality Of the de-
bauched tariff robber is touched by
the fact that his exclusive claim to
protection is being contested by other
industries ssindustrious aeas" y,
with which he does not associate.
Yet it's all of a piece!
The New York police violate their
duty in giving protection to the.
lawless characters they do; yet in
some instances it has been supposed
that they only winked at so-ealled
necessary eyils--we do not admit the
existence Of any such eyils-but it
was never supposed that they were
paid TODD SO!
Yet no one ever doubted that mem
.bers.of Congress we're paid to vote
away other peoples money and to
sustain certain favored man
ufacturers By system of protection
IS ineanitable and UNJUST as the
proteetion paid for and given TO
