Of its labors will soon be noticeable in
the bettered conditions of the laborlng

ADVANCE HOME RULE BILL
British Ministers Push Measure
Through Committee Stage.

London, Dec. 12-lhe committee s'ds'
of the Home Rule bill was completed In
the House of Commons late tonight amid
exciting demonstrations and counter
demonstrations. The House then imme-
diately adjourned Premier Asquith and
his ministers received an ovation as they
left the chamber.
The debate to-day led to little breeze
on the proposal to make it compulsory
that the Union Jack should fly over the
Irish parliament building. jeremiah Mac
Veagh. of South Down, in behalf OF the
Nationalists, spoke disparagingly OF the
Union Jack
Mr.. Balfour Indignantly rebuked Mr.
MacVeagh for the insult TO the nag. lie
invited the House to take note or the use
the United states made Of the flag. and
reminded the Irish leader Of how difficult
he had made the realization of his hope
Of loyal and contented Ireland BY the
lessons OF furious hatred Of the flag, which
he and his colleagues for years had been
teaching.
John Redmond replied in speech fun
of loyal expression that the Union JACK
would be flown in a contented Ireland
when Home Rule was passed. lie added
that no doubt Ireland would have it's own
flag. but the two would be flown side by
side.
The proposal was defeated.
The Home Rule bill passed It's nrst
reading in the House OF Commons on
April ls by a vote OF $50 10 2SS. Its sec
ond reading was passed on May by
vote Of 372 to 27l.
The committee stage Of the bill began
on June II. The Unionist amendments,
which have been the subject OF much
debate. covered forty-hve pages Of the
Parliamentary paper.
The bill received setback on Novem-
Der IL, when. during the debate on the
financial provisions. the Unionists de-
feated the government in snap division
by a majority Of 90. After riotous scenes
in Parliament an amicable arrangement
WAS reached. The House. on the motion
OF the Premier, negatived It's original
financial resolution, and another resolu-
tion was substituted for II. The net
result was to delay the progress Of the
bill for ten days.

MEN BEATEN ON RIGHT

British Railroad Strike Contin-
ues, However, on Black

lBy Cable TO The Tribune

London, Dec. ia hitch has oc-
Cured in the negotiations between the
North Eastern Railway officials and
the representatives of the railway men
for a settlement OF the strike. The
men. in view OF the inquiry now being
held by the Home Office into the con-
viotion Of the engineer Knox, expressed
their willingness 10 return TO work.
provided the police court summonses
fa& breach of agreement were with
dkxwn and the. strikers reinstated. The
company, however, while willing to re-
instate as many OF the men as posi-
BILE, declined to throw over the men
engaged to take the places OF the
strikers.
The men, for the most part, are sui
lenly silent over this new phase of the
situation A few. however, are more
communicative, and make no secret OF
the fact that on the question OF rein
statement they believe they hold
weapon which may be used against the
strike and perhaps bring about a gen
eraI stoppage on the whole OF the
North Eastern's system.
As one man puts 1t. THE chaps won't
come out over Knox, but they will over
blacklegs." which raises big question
of principle affecting all the members
OF the union. A Way out may be found
though in the mean time the men are
hopelessly beaten on the original issue
OF the right to get drunk off duty, and
they know ii. The strike has been con-
fined to the Tyneside area, and each
succeeding day shows an improvement
in the train service, though II is still
a long way short Of what II ought to
be and what 1t must be before the
industries OF Northumberland and Dur
ham are brought back to normal con-
ditions.

HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS
Widow Found It Hard TO Reconcile
Euioey With Her knowledge Of
Dead Husband.

An old Irishman who had made a
good deal of money, but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or
conduct, lived in Chicago. His Gus
tom was to go downtown about once
a month on spree, and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture His aged wife,
who had stood him for many years,
was blind
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral They had
plenty of money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves At the church there was
elaborate ceremony The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services, paying
scant heed to what was going on IN
til the eulosy was pronounced She
listened. The priest referred to the
dead man in glowing terms After
about ten minutes of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:

has not yet reached the eighteenth

This young girl may In the near
future have to wrestle with some very
complicated international problems OF
the greatest Importance. The years OF
her childhood have been gloomy, and
it cannot be said that the outlook is
very bright for Luxembourg as a ma
ton.
For the last ten years the grand
duchess's father, Wilhelm Alexander.
had been an invalid. A few weeks
after his accession to the throne he
was stricken with apoplexy. For five
years he had seldom been removed
from his bed and his wife, the Prin-
cess Maria Anna, Infanta OF Portugal,
and his daughters hardly ever left the
castle of Hohenberg in upper Bavaria,
where in the peace OF the mountains
and forests physicians were trying to
save him from his fate. In the city
Of Luxembourg as well as in Berlin,
Munich and Vienna the grand duchess
and her children were strangers.
They could not with proprfety attend
any social functions. The grand duke,
too weak to be brought back to his
own country, found himself to all pur-
poses an exile in Bavaria. This is
why, except the fact that she is a
rather gifted musician, very little is
known concerning the personality OF
the young duchess.
For the first time in its history
Luxembourg will have a ruler born
on its own soil. Grand Duchess Marie
was born in the capital on June IA.

ent nations in the world, Monaco alone
having a smaller area, Luxembourg

princes.
