were unable to get within ear shot. In
Johnstown, Altoona, Harrisburg and
Lancaster the best vantage points were
thronged so that the streets were almost
impassable When he reached Philadel-

him. Four hundred policemen lined the
streets to keep back the crowds along
the three squares from the station to the
hotel.

he spoke last night, was filed an hour
before the colonels arrival and the
street in front Of the building was filled

AGREEMENT EXPECTED
THAT WILL END STRIKE
Conference of Hard Coal
Miners and Operators
This Afternoon.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE joint
subcommittee of the miners and opera
tors. appointed at yesterdays conference.
will meet at the Reading Terminal this
afternoon and begin a practical Discus
sion Of the demands of the anthracite
mine workers. A survey of the situation
by those interested In the labor troubles
in the hard coal field leads to the belief
that before the subcommittee gets
through with its work 1t will have ar
rived at working arrangement that will
meet with the approval of the general
committees Of the miners and operators.
A curious fact in the appointment to
the subcommittee of four members by
each side is that five of the eight men
constitute 1ve-sixths of the conciliation
board and in effect the men who now
have the matter in hand practically are
the Cancellation board which was created
by the strike commission and which is
condemned by the miners as q useless
body.
Soft Coal Miners Will Resume.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April IL
Ninety per cent of the soft coal miners
have approved the proposed two-year
wage contract" said Edwin Perry, secre-
tary-treasurer OF the United Mine Work
ers of America, today after he had re-
ceived kilograms from representative local
unions throughout the country reporting
results of yesterdays referendum election.
Though, perhaps 25 per cent of the
miners of Indiana and the southwest
voted in the negative. because Of certain
local conditions, western Pennsylvania,
Illinois and other districts were practi-
cally unanimous in indorsing the new
agreement, Mr.. Perry said.
The result probably will be announced
officially Monday night. The miners ma
tional officers expect that all the
bituminous miners will be back in the

would say that the democratic party be-
lieves that in all things which do not
involve the inalienable rights of man the
majority should decide. We must hold to
that basic principle as the keystone of
our faith, the final test to our party al
legiance.
But, 1t will be urged. history has yet
to record civilization so advanced as to
endure forever under a pure democracy
And it must be admitted that outside the
eager ranks of socialism the most ardent
lovers of liberty have hesitated to accept
Rousseau's doctrine of the omnipotence
Of numbers and the supreme virtue of
political equality. But we are speaking
of ideals, and an ideal must always be in
advance of the working possibility. He
shoots higher said Sir Philip Sidney,
who aims at the sun than he who aims
at the BUSH
"And it is my earnest hope and be-
lief that the expression of this con-
vention shall be an emphatic message
to the democracy Of the nation that
between the Appeal to Reason of the
extreme socialists and the appeal of
hysteria Of the Columbus platform, the
democracy of the Empire state sees
nothing to choose"
He closed his address with tribute
to Gov. Dix. whom he characterized as
"a high-toned. clean-minded. hard
working. upright Christian gentleman,
with manly ideals and generous SYM
pathies."
Convention Takes Recess.
After committees on resolutions, per-
manent organization and to select dele
gates at large and pass upon district
delegates had been appointed, the con-
vention adjourned until o'clock Dur
ing the recess the committees will hold
their meetings.
Gov. Dix. Senator O'Gorman. Charles

Alton B. Parker were virtually agreed
upon as the four delegates at large,
with little prospect Of any change be-
fore the calling Of the afternoon session

that the gathering would be the most
harmonious held within a decade.
There was no change in the plan
agreed upon by the state committee last
night to have the delegation adopt the
unit rule 1t was decided that Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald of Brooklyn should
be the permanent chairman.
The leaders agreed upon a strong plank
calling for a downward revision of the
tar1n, Endorsement Of the administration
of Gov. Dix and the democratic legisla-
ture and commendation Of the party's
legislative program in the national House

INTRODUCED BY PREMIER
Mr.. Asquith Tells the History Of the
Movement.
FIRST PRINCIPLE OUTLINED
Proposed Legislation Provides for
House of Representatives.

LONDON. April 1.-THE Irish home
rule bill. the third effort made by
liberal governments Of the United King
dom in a quarter of a century to settle
the quarrel b&tween Great Britain and
Ireland. was Introduced in the house Of
commons this afternoon by Premier
Asquith. The official title of the bill is
'the government Of Ireland bill"
Britishers have become Injured to
political unheavals in recent years, SO
that the crowded chamber which Mr..
Asquith faced when he nailed up the
home rule flag today was special tribute
to the historic Importance attached to the
occasion.
The galleries set apart for members of
the diplomatic corps, for the peers and
for the public We're filled to their utmost
capacity, while every seat in the body OF
the house was occupied and an overflow
of members stood in the gangways.
Greeted With Cheers.
Premier Asquith was greeted with pro-
longed cheers from the nationalists and
liberals when he rose to speak. He took
UP the narrative Of home rule at the
point at which the late William, Ewart
Gladstone left off nineteen years ago.
pointing out that through all the political
changes and through peace and war the
insistence and persistence of the Irish
demand for home rule had remained
constant.
The vote of Ireland, ..e said. was pre-
ponderantly in favor of home rule and
the right of a relatively small minority
in Ulster to veto the will of the vast
majority of the Irish people could not be
admitted. He said he had always pre-
sented the case of home rule for Ireland
as the first step in a larger scheme. The
separate concerns of the different parts OF
the United Kingdom could. he said. never
be treated adequately until they had
been handed over to their special repre-
sentatives.
The Cardinal Principle.
The cardinal principle OF the present
home rule bill was, said the premier, the
supreme authority Of the imperial par
lament. while at the same time real
autonomy is conferred on Ireland in re-
gard to Irish concerns.
The bill provides for the establishment
Of an Irish parliament, consisting OF a
senate and house of representative, with
power to make laws for peace, order and
good government in Ireland.
The bill provides that the matters to
be excluded from the control or the Irish
parliament are the crown, the army and
the navy, imperial affairs, the Irish land
purchase and the old-age pensions and
national insurance acts. the Irish con-
