twitted the Premier on the quick changes
in the government programme and the
abandonment of pledges with regard to
the budget under pressure from those
who had passionate desire TO destroy
the Lords. but who did not have g pas
sionate desire to pass the peoples"
budget. The Premiers only consdera-
keep the Cabinet together.
John Redmond, the Nationalist leader
who followed Mr.. Balfour. said: Moth
ing that the Prime Minister has said
alters my view, and we ought to vote
against the resolutions" Mr.. Redmond
complained that Premier Asquith had
not made il clear what he would do if
the House of Lords rejected the resolu-
tionS. He said that if Mr.. Asquith would
give q definite promise that, in the event
OF tie House of Lords hanging up the
resolutions. he would go to the King and
resign, in the mean time suspending con-
sideratior of the budget. the Irish Ma
tionalists would support the resolutions.
Otherwise the Nationalist must vote
against the Premiers motion.
Sir James H. Dalziel, the Radical whose
hostile amendment disappearing any gov
eminent resolutions aiming al reform
was ruled out of order, admitted in a
brief speech that Premier Asquith's
statement had done much to meet the
views OF the Radical rebels

RESENT MORE WORK.
Murray Bill affecting En-
pl0yes Here RecOmmitted.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Albany. Feb. 2S.-When the Assembly to-
night reached the bill of Assemblyman
Andrew F. Murray to increase the hours
of work of the county employees of New
York, Kings, Queens and Erie counties
there was a chorus of objections from the
Tammany members. In explaining the
measure Mr.. Murray declared that the
employees of the counties within the city
of New York worked less and drew larger
salaries than those in any other county
in the state. He said the New York
County Clerks office was hopeessly behind
in its work and employees had refused to
work overtime at the request of the
County Clerk. When the County Clerk. he
said. asked the Deputy Attorney General
in the New York Office if they could not
be compelled to, he was advised that they
could not be forced to stay at work after
the hour stipulated in the law. Mr.. Murray
said that the bill was introduced as the
result of an investigation made by the
M,1nfcipal Research League and taxpayers
and other civic organizations
Assembyman Jimmy Oliver, VINO
voiced the sentiment of the New YORK
Democratic members was shocked TO think
that anvbodv could ask the New York
County employees to work longer than they
do This was particularly outrageous he
thought, in the summer, when the young
men in the county offices might wish TO
take their swnethearts on sail down the
Bay on a warm afternoon. The bill pro-
yides that the county employees snail work
until .. M, instead of p. ~. in July
and August. and until ., instead OF A. IN
the rest of the months of the year
On the ground that Kings County repre-
sentatives had not a chance to be heard

county moved that it be recommitted for

ton to this motion and it prevailed. AS

IitUctOn Plans to Gail HIM
Thursday-TO-days Witnesses

Albany. Feb. 2S.-Before Senator lothian
p Aids takes the stand this week to Tell
his version of the alleged transaction of
April IS, 1901, through which Senator Benin
Conger is trying to brand him as brlbe-
taker his counsel will call 5 witnesses
officers of the bridge companies with which
Conger was connected. The men that have
figured prominently in the testimony in
this connection are John Newell, the East
ern agent of the Canton Bridge Company,
who has an office i'll Albany. Eugene Ian
don now A Groton grocer, and Frederick
Sage. who, according to Conger, told him
of the alleged demand for $4,000 "protec-
ton money that came to the bridge COM
panies from Albany in 1905
Martin W. Littleton. attorney for the de
fence. said tonight that both Newell and
Landon would be called to the stand to-
morrow Thus far the defence has not sub
ppnaed Sage, and the impression here is
ltat he will not be a witness. conger de-
cIared that Landon acted as treasurer OF
the 5000 fund which the bridge companies
collected in 1903. and contributed TO the Re
publican campaign committee. Since then
L.andon has severed his connection with
the C;roton Bridge Company. of which he
was treasurer In 1908.
From a popular point OIL we" odSe prop
ably would be one of the most interesting
witnesses that could be called. The authors
of the alleged attempt to hold up the
bridge companies in 1905 are still unknown,
and the mention of their names would in
evtably force the Legislature to extend the
investigation beyond it's present limits
Mr. Litteton expects to call Aids by
Thursday He said to-day that his cross
examination probably would not last longer
than day and half. But this feature OF
the proceedings rests with the prosecu-
ton" BY calling him well toward the last
his attorneys hope TO spare him as much OF
this ordeal possible for all the other
elements of his case will be well ventilated
