It was said. also, that many of the independent contractors have also joined in the "open shop" movement.
 The enforcement of the "open shop rule is practically a lockout against the International Association of Iron Workers. the local branches. of which are the house. smiths and bridgemen's unions. The contractors declared that they have about two thousand non union men at work today. and. in addi- ton. five hundred experienced iron workers who have deserted the unions. 7 The officers Of the house-snlths uff- ion deny that any Of their men have de- serted the union.

BRYCE WILL Be

Washington, Dec. 2o.--The British gov
ernment has inquired of the state depart
ment II James Bryce. chief secretary for
Ireland In the government at London.
would be acceptable to the United States
as the kings ambassador to succeed Sir
Mortimer Durand. who is to retire from
active service soon.
The appointment OF Mr.. Bryce, II Is
learned, would be perfectly satisfactory TO
this government. although the state de-
partment has made no formal reply 10 the
foreign office in London.
The matter will doubtless be settled in a
day or two and an official announcement
made from London OF Mr.. Bryce's selec-
tion. IL IL expected he will come 10 Amer
lea 10 take up his new mission late in
February or early in March. Sir Morti-
mer Durand will leave Washington short
ly after Christmas.
An appointment which would take Mr..
Bryce out of the country might meet with
disfavor among his friends. who would
doubtless be anxious for him to remain
where ne is His selection is attributed 10
the Importance given the American mis-
sion by the British government.

LEGISLATION
To REMEDY THE
CAR SHORTAGE

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hans
brough OF North Dakota. who has taken
all active interest in steps to remedy
the situation caused by the car short
age. particularly In the northwest. has
prepared the outlines OF legislation whicn,
he believes, IL enacted into law, Will
tend to prevent a recurrence OF the
present condition OF affairs.
These have been shown TO the president.
n whose suggestion the senator's IDEAS
were put into shape, and TO Chairman
Knapp OF the Interstate commerce COM
mission. They contemplate legislation
along the following lines:
Giving the Interstate commerce COM
mission power TO inquire into the equip
ment capacity under stress OF extra
ordinary requirements, of all Interstate
railways, so as TO judge as 10 their
ability to nave traffic under extra
ordinary conditions.
Giving the commission authority 10 re-
ouire shippers holding cars in demur-
rage 10 unload and reload such cars
within "A hours after the cars have been
placed in a position TO be unloaded.
Making IL a misdemeanor for common
carriers TO compel train men 10 move
trains containing tonnage In excess OF
the registered tonnage capacity OF the
engines hauling such trains.
the Temporary use Of idle equipment or
one railroad line to supplement the over
taxed equipment of the other.
Many suggestions on the question OF
legislation affecting the car shortage
situation are being received by the COM
mission. Meanwhile considerable testi-
mony is being taken in the west on
this subject by Commissioners Harlan
and Lane, and their conclusions VIII oe
awaited before any further communica-
ton on this subject is made TO the
president. 60. 49,.
Senator Kittredge OF South Dakota
yesterday expressed the opinion tnat the
coal famine in the northwest is the
result OF the requirements OF the amended
Interstate commerce law, under which
the railroads have to give 30 days notice
before changing a a rate, and also tne
result OF the action or the relai,e,s u,
r,,1tt,ng off shipment OF coal until they
could have the advantage of the new
rate

EDUCATION BILL
DEFEATED BY THE
HOUSE Of LORDS

London, Dec. a.-The education bill re-
ceived its death blow In the house of lords
yesterday. Both sides spent the last
three days in practically incessant con-
ferences with the object OF discovering an
acceptable compromise, but the opposition
found themselves unable TO accept the
concessions offered by the government
These were formally presented by the
lord president OF the council. the Earl
of Crewe. when the house OF lords met
yesterday afternoon, but Lord Lansdowne.
in behalf OF tie opposition, refused the
proffered olive branch, and moved that
the lords insist on their amendments to
the bill. This was adopted by l32 to ~
votes. and the education bill was thus
killed
There Is no indication as yet as TO what
course the government will pursue There
is the greatest resentment among the
ministerial members OF parliament that
10 months OF legislative work have gone
for nothing. The feeling Is strong against
Mr.. Balfour. the leader OF the opposition
in the house OF commons, as he is held to
be personally responsible for the failure
10 arrange a compromise.
The Duke OF Devonshire. In the course
Of the final debate, entered a strong
protest against what he termed Lord
Lansdowne's wrecking tactics and voted
with the government In the minority.
II Is not believed that the ministers
contemplate an immediate appeal TO the
country, though this was Mr.. Gladstone's S
desire when he faced a similar situation
In 1894, at which timo he was overborne
by the cabinet
The general idea is that the ministers
will introduce at the next session OF par
lament a more drastic education bill,
applying the s5,oo0.ooO which under the
dead biz would have gone 20 assist de-
nomlnational schools 20 building entire
new council schools and tending to pro-
duce a practically secular system OF
public education. This being a money
bill, the house of lords would have no
power to throw 1t out.
Most OF the members OF the non-com-
formist party are pleased at the failure
OF compromise in the negotiations.
though they regret the loss OF the bill.
but their view is that the government
was making too many concessions 10 the
house OF lords.
The Rev. Robert Forman Horton. speak
ing al East Durham, last night, said that
the lords and the bishops had opened a
plain and almost inevitable way TO secu-
lar education. This would result I'm
enormous activity by the Roman Catho-
lie church In opering schools in Eng
land. He regarded the prospect with the
utmost misgivings.
The Rev. Frederick Brotherton Meyer,
minister OF Christ church, Lambeth. says
the death OF the bill vill give impulse to
the movements for removing the bishops
from the house OF lords and for the dis
establishment and disendowment of the
Church OF England.
