LORDS PLAN To
KILL HOME RULE
But Irish Enthusiasts Expect to
Pass Bill Over Probable
Veto of Mobiles.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Radical Eories
in the house of lords today planned for
a bitter fight against the home rule bill
which passed the house of commons by
a vote of 367 to 255 last night, but pros
poets Of struggle did not lessen Irish
enthusiasm, for even If the peers should
reject the bill 1t can become a law by
royal assent if passed twice again by
two successive sessions of the COM
mons
The only question which worried the
Liberals and Irish Nationalists was:
Can the governments majority of 10
or even smaller majority be main
tanned?
The evident intention OF the Tories is
to bring about a general election If pos
sible, with view to reducing the coali-
ton majority in commons. This was
about the only practical course left
open, as the veto bill passed last year
provided that any legislation original
ing in the house of commons can be-
come a law with royal consent even if
the peers defeat legislation of the COM
mons
Should the lords throw out the meas
ure, 1t could not become a law before
the midle of next year.
John Redmond leader of the irish
Nationalist, who has spent nearly a
lifetime working for home rule, said:
The ultimate passage Of the bill is
assured. and It will inaugurate a new
era in Ireland. On behalf Of the Irish
people and the Irish Nationalist | con-
graduate the British nation. Passage
of the bill in commons was a great vic
tory for Justice"
