ex.Premier BaIfour Returns to
Lead Opposition in Attack on
Governments Minimum
Wage Bill.
A DRAMATIC REAPPEARANCE
Resistance to the Measure Will
Greatly Delay It's Passing
It's Rejection by the Lords
Would Bring Resigna-
ton of Ministers.
IPy cable to The Tribune.

Tendon. March 21.--A great sensation
l,s bSen caused in political circles by
the news that Mr.. Balfours first action
IN Parliament after his retirement from
the leadership of tn, UniOnist party
would be TO move the rejection Of the
minimum wage bill The significance Of
this action is not underestimated in any
quarter Of the House Of Commons, and
every one agrees that a few days may
bring about sensational developments.
In the first place the fact that Mr..
Balfour. who now occupies a position,
Of Independence. should come forward
10 move the rejection Of the bill is re
rarded as Of enormous importance, see
ing that he, at any rate, has nothing to
gain from the result which may follow
this action and the alteration it may de-
termine in the position Of the parties.
Second the uncomHromising attitude
of the ex-Premier, indicated by his in
tention 10 move the rejection of meas
ure which it was believed the Tories
would not oppose, will, it is thought
have considerable effect on public opin-
ion in regard to the bill.
Third, Mr. BalfOur's action may infu-
ence very largely the attitude of the
coal owners toward it.
The situation has developed with such
dramatic suddenness that ii is difficult TO
prophesy with any hope Of accuracy
what exactly will take place. The
Unionist declaration Of war has com
pletely upset all the calculations Of the
Government, and at the best, from the
Cabinets point Of view, the bill cannot
now become law this week. for the sec
ond reading and debate will be followed
by a keen fight in committee, and MEM
bers are already busy drafting amend
ments. The Cabinet has not yet met TO
consider the matter, but a meeting will
be hurriedly summoned to take stock of
the situation.
The Labor members, in spite of the
resolution Of the Miners Federation con-
demning the bill, will vote for the sec
ond reading and move an amendment in
committee for the insertion Of their
schedule The Nationalists will also
support the Government, so that unless
a number Of Liberals vote with the OPP
position the Government may not be in
imminent danger Of defeat. But Mr..
Asuuith Is believed 10 be riding for
fall. and he would be glad If the Lords
decided to help him out Of his predica-
ment by rejecting the measure when 1t Is
sent to the upper house.
The Liberal papers admit the gravity
Of the political crisis. and fatty accuse
unofficial conservative members Of ap-
preaching the Laborites with proposals
for a joint attempt to wreck the mini
mum wage hill.
The Daily Mali regards the bill as
already dead. 1t declares that the Lib
eraI agents throughout the country have
been warned to prepare for general
election, and that the Unionists are pre-
pared to take Office If the government is
defeated.

London. March 2o.-The fate of the mini
mum wage bill would appear TO be trem-
bling in the balance. A. J. Balfour VIII
move the rejection Of the bill in the House
OF Commons tomorrow. The dramatic re-
appearance OF Mr.. BalfoUr in the role OF
leader Of TIE Opposition comes as great
surprise. the decision to request the former
leader to undertake the duty of moving the
bills rejection being taken at a meeting of
prominent Unionists, including Andrew
Bonar Law, Austen Chamberlain, Walter
Hume Long and +. Z. Smith.
Whether this development heralds the re-
turn Of Mr. Balfour to the active leader
ship of the party remains to be seen. The
Unionists lately have been greatly elated
at the growing difficulties the government
has been encountering, due in part 10 the
unpopularity Of the insurance act, the IN
creasing labor troubles and the greatly In
creased public expenditure involved in So
cal reforms and at the evidence Of a
change In public opinion given by recent
by-elections If. as some Of the Unionists
assert the government is riding for fall
IL may come over the minimum wage bill,
but there is little doubt that the govern
ment can carry the second reading of the
bill. as the Labor party ana the National
lists have decided to give their support TO
that end
Difficulties will arise in the committee
stage, when the Laborites will move
amendments. with the object OF having in
serted the schedule of minimum rates as
fixed by the Miners Federation. 1t ap-
pears however that the federation only
Carried the resolution I'm favor Of this
course by majority of twelve in $50 votes.
Evidently. therefore, a large section OF the
federation favors less extreme procedure,
and possibly when the committee stage
arrives more reasonable counsels may pre-
vail. The federation's minimum wage
schedule is five shillings per day for each
man and two shillngs per day for each
boy Isl % and 30 cents respectively.
