 During todays discussion Chamberlain Austin confessed the opposition was not strong enough to take office, but said 1t would not shirk the responsibility if called upon to do so. He said the bill stood for policy of surrender and would engender similar demands from other trades.
 Grey Defends Bill
 Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign affaiis. denied the bill would cause future trouble. New circumstances had arisen and the door had been opened with regard to a minimum wage which could not be closed. It would be futile for parliament to bury it's head in the sand and try to ignore the question. Within a few weeks, perhaps days, they should be dealing. not with the causes, but with the terrible conditions of the strike. That was why the government had introduced the bill.
 If the bill failed, continued the for eign secretary, the government must pro feet the nation by every resource in it's mower but he appealed to the own CTS and miners alike to unite in com mon sense spirit of reasonable ness to 
 mon sense spirit of reasonabeness ,'n restort to these means.

BLIZZARD Of 5 s
Is RECALLED
STORM BRINGS 70 MIND DAYS
WHEN ANIMALS WERE
TRAPPED IN SNOW CRUST

Des Moines, Jan. 3.--This city is en-
joyinx q return of the old time snow
and sleighing, say the pioneers OF the
city. @
Way back in the days when tho
memory of the Oldest inhabitant In
Des Moines can include, Des Moines
used to be showed under fer days at
q time. The village postmaster, who
carried the mail for the snow bound
residents in his hat, found his de-
livery worke delayed for week or
more and made no report to Uncle
Sam.
The snow Of all SHOWS that ever COW
cred the area Of Iowa and enveloped
Des Moines in it's folds was IN The
winter of 1856. It began to snow In
the cleaning of the evening Of Decem-
Der / and fell busily for three days
and nights Then it blew gale from
the northwest and blizzard ragged for
three days. The ice froze upon the
snow and the merry villagers of Des
Moines skated, rode sleds and hunted
tor deer. That was fifty-six years ago.
hut Tacitus Hussey, the pioneer OF
Des Moines and q statistician, vouches
for the facts.
'"The worst snow storm Iowa ever
experienced was in 1855, or the winter
Of 1856 and 1857" said Mr.. Hussey
yesterday afternoon. The reminis-
cences were recalled by the zero
weather ,Des Moines is now expe-
riencing and the heavy snow fall.
ut began to snow on December
and showed continuously for three
days. Then for three days there was
a blizzard. The streets of the village
were impossible and all business was
suspended. The snow was from three
to five feet deep, but the sleighing
was great There was no mail for ten
days and Des Moines was forced to
enjoy holiday. The men went hunt
INK for deer, which was plentiful. The
deer would fall through the ice and
were easily traced by the dogs and
caught by the men. do not remem-
Der Of winter when there was snow
fail which lasted so long as that one
did. There was another heavy snow
fall during the winter Of 1928, but
not not so heavy as the previous one.
A later heavy snow was In the sos, but
forget just what year. This snow is
one OF the heaviest which Des Moines
has experienced in many years, but
notice there Is not 80 much of the old
time sleighing as'there has been when
there was less snow"
