Few York, April 7.--Easter here was half spoiled by rain. A morning sun brought out the usual largo crowds to the churches, where more elaborate musical programmes and more extravagant floral displays than ever were noted, but by noon the shadow of a storm was cast on Fifth avenue promenade. and at l o'clock showers sent fashion scurrying to cover.
 By o'clock when the parade is usually al It's height, the long thoroughfare was deserted, except for brave visitors to town who even ventured to ride on bus tops in the rain. In the late afternoon it poured.
 What glimpses were caught of fashion led to the general comment that there was far less of the extreme in hats and gowns

 coo Will Take Part
TROOPS UNNECESSARY

London, April 7.-Belfast Is to have. another great anti-home rns demonstration on Eastern Fuesdas5 two days before the date set for the introduce | ton of the home rule bill in the Hous, of Commons. This time there will be nc necessity of moving troops into the city as was the ease when Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty held his now historic meeting in the chief town of Ulster. An Irish member, to make sure that Belfast would mol again be put under what practically amounted to martial law. to enable prominent politician to speak, asked the question in the House of Commons the other day. The reply of Augustine Birrell. the Irish secretary, was that he thought the na- tionalists could be depended upon not to interfere with free speech.
 Bonar Law Center of Demonstration
 The head and center of the demon the unionist party.
 The intentions of the government have been pretty fully explained except in regard to the disposal of the customs and excise and the eastern political meet ings are likely to give a further insight into the measure. The bill itself will not be issued until after the prime minis ter ndS de1NfTtu HIS speech III litllOuuf- ing it. Strictly speaking this introducton is formal application to the House for leave to introduce and although the com mons never refuses this leave. the bill is not issued until this has been granted.
 The demonstration. in which 15e.000 men will take part will be held at the Royal Ulster Agricultural society's grounds. Since the beginning of the year meet ings have been held all oyer Ulster 10
 II Al ing on April will he. climax to the series The men have been carefully drilled so that the parades shall pass og without any hitch The main portion of the participants will be drawn from the unionist clubs of Ireland.
 Shippers Will Participate
 The men from the ship yards of Bel fast 5000 in number will also take part for although the head of the greatest of the ship building concerns. Lord Pirle. is for home rule, his employees are against it.
 There will he four distinct processlons, two approaching the grounds from the city and two from the countryside. In the grounds four platforms will be erect ed, the principal one being occupied by Mr Law, Sir Edward Carson. Walter Long and other leading Scottish and Eng fish members of parliament.
 The four processions will meet at the entrance to the grounds and enter the enclosure and the march past the stands being 16 men abreast It is expected that it will take three hours for the process sion to pass At the conclusion of the speeches a resolution expressing the sentiments of the gathering regarding home rule will be put.
 In other parts of Ireland nationalists will hold home rule meetings. not be- cause the constituents need conversion, but to keep lp interest in the question. There will also be a number of meet. ings in England. Wales and Scotland.

Expect Fight on Postoffice Bill

The postoffice appropriation bill, which the House will dispose Of this week, Will pHeeipifa 6, sDssaseR and prolonged de- bate because offadical disagreement over it's pfovssirn for establishing parcels post system Most of the denomrats fa- yor the parcels post. The democratic lead CTS are planning to pass the bill with that provision retained, and the rules commit tee is prepared to bring in a special rule to meet the expected objection that tho parcls post provision is new Legislation and therefore not attachable to a regular appropriation bill.
 The advocates of antitrust legislation during the present session of Congress are determined to press the question. The im- mediate difficulty lies In getting a bill out of the Senate committee on inter state commerce. where several measures are pending Although Senator Clapp, a progressive republican, is chairman of he committee, majority of it's members are opposed to further legislation at this time.
 The committee Is composed of l6 mem bers, making nine necessary to transact business This committee has been hold ing almost constant meetings since the middle of last NoVember,s but most of them have been for conducting hearings, and it is claimed that at no one of them has there been a quorum in attendance.

Administrative Office Necessary

In short. under present conditions. as well as in whatever future course may hereaf fter be followed. a permanent ad- ministrative office will be absolutely nec- essary The vast compleXity of corpora 8 business and it's constantly changing con- dgtions make it wholly impossible to en- force effectively any real system of re- straint through the courts alone.
 The exact form of such an admuistra- tive office is matter for further de- tailed consideration. The essentials are permanence. expert training. administIa- tive hexihility, effective investigation. and publicity, all covering those interstate in- dustrial corporations whose size and op- eratons make them Of public importance. The bureau during the past fiscal year has been applying, within the narrow lini- it's possible to il. the principles of pub licity above referred to.

Doubt Legality of Ordinance

There was doubt as to the legality Of the emergency clause and the ordinance was not made effective until month later. on the day upon which the ordl. nance went into effect, the labor men and socialists organized q parade which ended in a riot Forty of the agitators were arrested, and soon clashes between street crowds and the police were an every day occurrence.
 Nearly 300 men and women were in jail at one time.
 New allies came. Some rode on brake beams, and some walked into the city. Many were taken to the outskirts of the city, supplied with water and sent back across the desert.

Washington. April 7.-Senators and rep resentativss are becoming impatient over the Senate's delay on the tariff, approprla- ton and other important Legislation, but the leaders, figuring that the ways can be cleared quickly on emergency, express confidence that Congress can adjourn be- fore the national party conventions in June.
 Republican Leader Penrose has agreed with the democratic and progressive re- publican leaders that the House steel bill shall be called up week after next as un- finished business. and that prompt action shall be taken on all pending bills in order to facilitate adjournment. The f. nance committees adverse report on the steel bill already is before the Senate, and the minority report, standing for the democratic House measure. will be framed in day or two.

Cummins Meets Difficulties

To meet that difficulty Senator Cum mins, also a republican progressive, pro- cured the adoption of resolution at the last meeting constituting seven members as a quorum, but after that action had been taken a question was raised as to the legality of so small a quorum, and il has become necessary to determine this point before proceeding. Seven members of the committee are known to favor leg islaton. and if the cummins resolution stands. they will be able to force action.
 If the supporters of this Legislation succeed in getting a bill out of the com mittee. even though with an adverse re- port, they will insist upon thorough con- sderation by the Senate. with the possi- bility Of prolonging the session.

 Whence They Came
DEMAND FREE SPEECH

San Francisco, April With the events of the last week, the struggle between the employers of the Pacific coast and the Industrial Workers of the World, has narrowed to two issues.
 i, The manifesto issued by the San Diego Free Speech league Is making the fight to spread the open shop propaganda. The question of higher wages and shorter hours has been eliminated at least tenn porarly, in the northwest by the stand of the strikers on the sole issue of recog- hilton of the Industrial Workers organi- zation
 San Diego has been beset by the free speech agtators since January 1 and the announcement was made that an army numbering 10000 Industrial Workers would mobilize at San Francisco, Sac ramento and Stockton. and march to the southern city.
 To Drive Back Workers
 San Diego special deputies and citizens assert they will meet the endorsements of Industrial Workers now headed south ward and will drive them back.
 The enactment of an auti-street speak Ing ordinance late last December precipl- tated the San Diego situation. The grand jury recommended an ordinance estab- la"lhs hoIe uoWhtoWn conReSted dis tricts where street speaking would be forbidden. The council passed the meas are and added an emergency clause making it effective at once"
 protest meeting was called. at which an immense crowd was present, nclud- ing members of the Industrial Workers of the World and representatives of socialist locals and of the American Fed eration of Labor. The two latter have remained in the fight with the Industrial Workers.
