Laborites Demand Favor,
able Recognition to Labor
at the Next Session
of Parliament
WILL PROBABLY
DISSOLVE BODY
Evident Now that General
Election Will Be Called
At Early Date

London, Nov. 11.-Choatic condi-
tions in British politics were further
complicated today when q deputation
Of laborites presented as petition to
Premier Asquith demanding legisla-
tion favorable to labor in the next
session OF parliament.
Following so close upon the failure
of the constitutional conference, new
elements were added TO the unrest
which i'm all likelihood will result in
the dissolution of parliament shortly
after convening next week, and gem
eral elections early next year, posi-
bly, before Christmas.
The attitude of laborite party which
is very strong will be an important
factor in deciding the course which
the government will follow. All par
ties have sought to avoid holding
elections next yoar because it is the
coronation year.
