on the ground that the release was not
based on a copy of the charge. There
was nothing to do but wait for Pratt's
hearing today.
Not Allowed to See Pratt.
Efforts of some of Pratt's friends to sec

possible by the police. The central police
station and central police court are on the
sixth floor of the big city hall. but nc

The orders were rigid. Hundreds OF
men and boys, arrested yesterday and
last night for participating in the diSor-
der, were given hearings without the
presence of friends.
Discussing the arrest of Pratt, Mr.. Muir
ply today said:
They can go as far as they like. We
will leave our case with the people.
II have just learned of some abomina-
BILE things practiced by the police here
that men were kept in cells at city hall
without food for two days. Even water
was refused them In some instances.
Such conditions have no right to exist

1t Is estimated that there were 300 per-

the various hospitals yesterday. While

there are enough agitators to inf1dme

Negotiations of B. & o. En-.

CONCESSIONS NOT ENOUGH
Delegates Will Submit Question to
Their Constituents.
MANY DAYS IN CONFERENCE
President Willard Brings Matters to
Crisis by Announcing the Road
Would Yield No More.

BALTIMORE Md, February 2o-The
negotiations OF the conductors and train
! men of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
for increased wages ended abruptly to-
day. A strike of the men employed in
these branches of the service is regarded
as imminent. Already the members of
the joint committee representing the men
| of the two arms of the service are leay-
| before their constituents the question of
whether they shall strike or whether the
counter proposition advanced by the COM
pany shall be accepted.
by this vote the men will show wheth-
err they are in earnest in demands for in
creased wages or not was the terse
manner in which one of the members OF
the joint delegation expressed the situa-
ton this afternoon.
The men asked for the western rate in
freight and yard service, an increase Of
8 1-16 per cent in the passenger service
and the abolition of double-header freight
trains. According to the men the railroad
met these demands with what they de-
clared was "a very slight percentage of
increase to the minority of the men in
volved.'
AT the executive offices Of the Balti-
more and Ohio no statement was obtain
able at this time beyond the announce
ment that the negotiations had been sus-
pended for the time being. and that the
committeeman would go back to their
homes to lay the matter before their con-
stituents for further orders.
The crisis. which marked the end Of
nearly three weeks of conference. came
when President Willard of the road, after
an hours conference with Presidents Lee
and Garretson and the Joint committee
of seventy, said the road would not re-
cede from the counter proposition which
was made to the men on Saturday follow
ing hearing of their demands. The men
at once left the building and returned to
their hotel. where they held q meeting
prior to the dispersal of the delegates.

AIMING AT HOUSE OF LORDS

LONDON, February oc.-The political
atmosphere continued heavy when par
lament reassembled this afternoon, but
a ray OF hope appeared with the an-
nouncement that the nationalist at a
meeting earlier in the day had decided
not to move an amendment to the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne.
The text of the nationalist resolution
follows:
Resolved, That having regard for the
supreme Importance of the constitutional
struggle going on between the two houses
of parliament. and Oeing convinced that
the primary business of this parliament
was to act on the mandate given in the
general election and proceed, forthwith,
to limit the veto power now exercised by
the house Of lords over all progressive
legislation, the Irish party decides not to
complicate that great issue by moving an
amendment to the address. or by ballot
Ing for bills and motions during the pres
ent session"
This decision was accepted generally
in the Hobbies to mean that: although
John Redmond. the nationalist leader.
had rendered judgment against the gov
eminent, he and his followers had de-
cided to defer the execution OF the SEN
tence and not to throw out the cabinet
over the budget. while abstaining from
supporting the financial measure as they
abstained in the last parliament.
Home rule for Ireland is the stake for
which the natiOnalists are playing, and
they realize that 1t would cease to be a
live issue Immediately upon the resig-
nation or defeat of the government.
Balfour Speaks for Unionists.
In a speech at political luncheon to-
day Arthur ]. Balfour, leader of the
opposition in the house OF commons, also
helped to clear the atmosphere by init
mating that the unionists did not pro-
pose to throw any unnecessary difficulties
In the way Of the government In dealing
with the impending problem Of finance,
the solution OF which was necessary for
carrying on the government. though he
added: when 1t comes to larger prob
lens involving matters OF principle con-
corning the house of lords there can be
neither a compromise nor an arrange
ment."
Upon the resumption Of the debate In
the house Of commons today George N.
Barnes, chairman of the parliamentary
labor party. aligned the laborites with the
nationalists and demanded further assur-
dHCcS Ildl TicHiicT ASQultH WOuIQ not
delay dealing with the lords power to
veto. The labor members, he said. be-
lieved that the house of lords was a use
less, irritating barrier to democratic
progress. The electors, he added. expect
ed decisive action and he wished definite
assurances that II the veto question was
not dealt with Immediately it would be
settled before the next budget was
passed.
Barnes declared that the labor party
was in favor of home rule.
