THE LIBERAL APPEAL
TO ENGLISH VOTERS
DIRECT ATTACK MADE UPON THE
PEERS
The Budget Itself Becomes a Second
ary Matter

London. Dec. 1.-The national lib
eral federation issued a manifesto to-
night which. regarded as a party rally
for the elections, concentrates atten-
tion entirely on the constitutional
struggle between the house of lords
and ,the house Of commons.
Ii says: IF the present action of
the peers is not repudiated swiftly. the
rights and privileges won so dearly by
our forefathers in the great struggles
for freedom. are all surrendered
The manifesto declares that the
peers power Of veto must be restricted
so that the last word in legislation
on finance must rest with the house
of commons.
In the fight forced upon us the
manifesto continues, the electors will
have to decide whether they wish to
govern themselves or be governed by
a few hundred hereditary peers who
have thrown the constitution into the
melting pot in order to shift the bur-
den of taxation from the wealthy land
and liquor interests upon the food and
necessaries of life"

on tire Sugar Trusts Docks.

New York, Dec. 1.-The fruitful OPP

enormous business daily at the VIII

ar Refining company is what the gov

the trial If six former employees of the
company, charged with defrauding the
government by underweights. David
Fragner. a customs inspector. testi-
flied that two trucks a minute passed
out of a single set of scales or eight a
minute on the four sets in use.
Each truck weigheF one ton and each
half ton, the government contended,
was weighed thirteen pounds short by
the secret manipulations of govern
ment employees who. it is charged,
were paid cash by the sugar company
for the evasion of the customs duties.
If the game ran properly. the govern
ment stood to lose duties on $3.50
pounds of sugar every hour.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. Although the
movement of freight on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern lines is
suspended and the passenger traffic is

On all the bulletin boards of the
railroads notice of an increase off /,

was posted today. but not a switchman
returned to work so far as is known.
No freight trains are running. Perish

least wish to delay traffic. Operating

no attempt to hire new men, ana are
awaiting instructions from st. Paul.

All accounts agree that the disso-

touch at various points. There was
reason to believe that the interstate
