PRICE or LABORITE VOTES.
\sIu'th Ministry Must Abandon Reform
Of the House Of Lords.
Special Cabie DesDdieh TO THk SUN.


LONDON, Jan. i2.-The Labor party
has fixed the price Of its support Of the
Government during the coming session
OF Parliament, and Chairman Barnes
announces in an article in a Radical
newspaper that the primary condition
is that the Government must abandon
the preamble 10 the Lords veto bill at
the behest of the I.aborites or abide the
consequences
The preamble. of which nothing has
been heard during the discussion of the
veto resolutions, and which only appeared
when the bill was printed. says:
Whereas il is intended to substitute
for the House Of Lords as it at present
exists second chamber, constituted on
a popular instead of a hereditary basis.
but such substitution cannot Immediately
be brought into operation"
Mr.. Barnes denounces this as foolish
and unnecessary. He declares the Labor
ties az we'll as every Radical worth his
salt will vote against the preamble, and
II the Tories. being opposed to the whole
bill. go into the same lobby the bill will
only pass without the preamble.
As il well known. the Laborites are
in favor OF single chamber, and so
have no Use for the House OF Lords, re-
formed or unreformed. Mr.. Barnes con-
tends that the recent election decisively
rejected reform and therefore the pre-
amble must go. He hopes the current
rumor is true that the Government when
il introduces the bill will leave the pre-.
amble an open question. allowing it,
followers freedom of discussion on this
point.
"ln this way" Mr.. Barnes declares
"the Government path will he much
more secure"
He holds that merging reform and veto
might mean another election.

Nen,ber OF the court OF Commerce.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l2-Charges to
prevent the confirmation of Judge William
H, Hunt Of Montana. recently named
by President Taft as a member of the
new Court OF Commerce and now serving
as an Associate Judge Of the Court of
Customs Appeals, were aired to-day
before a subcommittee from the Com
mittee on the Judiciary
Argument was presented to the com
mittee by c. j. Sawyer Of Anaconda, who
represents landowners in the vicinity
of that Montana city, They assert that
their lands were ruined by the fumes
from the great Anaconda smelter When
the damage proceedings against the
smelling company We're begun Judge
Hunt was the trial Judge, being on the
District bench at the time. 1t is charged
that he pursued dilatory tactics TO assist
the smelling corporation Judge Hunt
is also attacked for including in his de-
cisions matter not in the testimony
which was presented in the briefs of
the attorneys for the emelters
The charge was made by MIR. Sawyer
that Senator Tom Carter ia the representa-
tive Of the smelting trust in the Senate.
He declared that the State is in the grasp
OF the smelting trust and that justice is
impossible there, which was the reason
that landowners have never sought relief

LISBON Jan. i2.--The strike Of railroad
men and store employees was broken to
a certain extent to-day. Yesterday the
railroad men and employees of COM
mercial houses went out because their
demands for increased wages and fewer
hours had not been granted. This morn
ing they were joined by the metal workers.
All the regiments were confined to their
barra cks to be ready for emergencies.
The Cabinet met to-day and osked
DIR. d 'Almeida. the Minister OF the In
terror. to withdraw his resignation. DIR.
d 'Almeida resigned yesterday because
he was unable to settle the strike of the
shop hands.
DR.. dAlmeida decided to accede to the
request of the Cabinet and retain his
portfolio. All the business houses re-
opened and the employees returned to
work
The employees of business houses have
been working very long hours. and asked
| that these he curtailed and also that they
have day OF rest every week. The latter
demand was granted but their hours
have not been shortened The Minister
of the Interior had been trying for several
days to bring about an adjustment Of the
troubles OF these workers.
| The Northern and Eastern railways
have notified the strikers that they are
willing to accede to their demands in the
event of the resulting increase Of ex-
penditure not exceeding .O30. 900 francs
or 5000 600. II is estimated that these
demands il acceded to would add 2 2,OOO. .OOt
francs. or S4OO. 900. to the expenses of the
companies. The railway administration
proposed that a joint committee of rail.
way managers and employees be ap.
pointed to verify this estimate. The
strikers accepted the proposal. but the
strike continues. pending a decision by
the joint committee.
The strikers are allowing provision
trains to enter the city.
The difficulty in settling the railway
mems demands is largely due TO the
necessity for consulting foreign fnancia
interests. most Of the railway stock beinl
held abroad. II is astonishing. even
amusing, to see how small part Of tn,
population is affected by the suspension
OF railway traffic The bulk of the peopl,
are utterly indifferent
Equally astonishing is the placidty o
the strikers and the absence Of all pre-
cautions by the companies 70 protec
their property The strikers. far from
committing damage. have in some in
stances voluntarily moved perishabl,
freight in order to avert loss. Ii is per
haps the most unsophisticated strike tina
has ever occurred anywhere.
