Brussels. APRIL liking Leopold's
unprecedented action in Withdrawing
by royal decree, the government bill
concerning the hours of labor in the
Congo mines has aroused the greatest
Indignation in all parts. The situa'io
Is aggravated by the fact that the de
cree was coUntersined by ministers
who had officially resigned and there
fore possessed no authority before
parliament.
In not announcing the decree until
after their resigna ion. and when Il
had been demonstrated that 1t had
only 80 supporters. the government is
considered as being guilty of political
sharp practice. The situation is
grave and dissolution of parliament
