trading and naturalization of means
OF transit and natural resources in the
Kingdom. The trades dispute bill Is
placed first by The laborites as 1t
aims at restoring the legal status or
trades unions which was denied by the
Taft Vale decision.
Among the amendments proposed to
the compensation act is one providing
that some system of state compulsory
Insurance should be established which
will secure that employees shall have
paid the necessary funds to compen-
safe for all accidents or injury, or for
diseases arising out OF or incidental TO
the nature OF any employment.

posal is the establishment Of scheme
to provide all citizens over go years OF
age with a pension of at least five
shillings a week, the entire cost to be
born by the Imperial Exchequer. The
miners delegates brought the eight

Trades Union Congress proposes that

trade exempted. There is also diff
erence of opinion respecting adult
suffrage, some Of the unions
favoring women suffrage, ana
others opposing 1t. Labor MEM
bers endorsed by the congress
are pledged to an amendment to the
education act securing educattonal
freedom and state maintenance; COM
pulsory attendance up to 16 years OF
age: secular education in state sup
ported schools; establishment of train
ing schools for teachers Beyond tho
program outlined labor members are
free to support or oppose the govern
ment but generally they will be guid-
ed by their leaders.
Keir Hardie. the leader of the group
supported by the labor representative
committee, in an article has pointed
out that he and his followers nave no
option but to sit lin opposition, since
to do anything else would be to belle
their professions of political independ-
ence. In all probability sessional
policy will be decided upon. Needless
to say each measure introduced by the
government will be judged upon its
merits but from time to time the
party will be under the necessity Of
taking it's bearings and Of deciding
how far its duty consists in giving a
general support to the government or
Of entering upon a militant policy to
force the hands of the government In
respect to certain measures" Mr.. Har-
die expects the first conflict between
the labor members and the government
to arise over the question Of legisla-
ton to restore freedom Of action to
the trade unions
Labor has many questions which
they Will ask parliament to consider
and If labor members have their way
great part of the session will be de-
voted TO their bills.

Special to Times RepuDlIcan-
Des Moines, Feb. 13-The republican
state convention that will name the
republican candidate for governor Of
Iowa this year will have a total of
1889 delegates, figuring on the same
basis as before, or two less than the
famous Cedar Rapids convention which
nominated Cummins. The convention
in Des Moines-sorne neutral place like
Sioux City or Marshalltown may be
named. The same powers which took
the convention of 1901 to Cedar Rap
ids for what ever advantage might be
had in surroundings much biased will
have the say again this year; but the
scheme planned in 1903 failed to work
and 1t may not be tried again
In the convention Polk county will
have 72 delegates as against 64 at the
Cedar Rapids convention. Woodbury.
county will have 80 as against 36. The
Eleventh district will have 1S1 dele
gates and the Tenth 1876.
WUen Governor CunlmlnS returned
to his office this morning after an abb
sence over Sunday and Monday he
found a dig batch of mail awaiting
him. Among the letters were scores
OF letters Of warm congratulation on
his determination TO enter the race and
to continue to fight for the principles
he represents. The mere announce
ment Of his intention caused joy to
thousands OF republicans in the state,
and they are willing to wait to read
what he has to say in formal an
nouncement Of his plans and purposes
for maintaining the square deal for the
republican party of the state. 1t is
somewhat significant. too that among
the letters are number from very in
fluential persons in counties that have
hitherto been regarded as wholly
welded to the Blythe regime, insisting
that the governor shall not neglect
these counties, but that he shall make
a fight all along the line and in every
corner of the state.
All the news from northwestern
Iowa is to the effect that the fight is
becoming decidedly warm, that the ear
ly boastings of the Blythe men have
not been we'll founded, but that the
Cummins men are preparing to fight in
every county Of the Eleventh district
except two.
