Expected that Ulster Situation
Will Result in Such Ac.
tion by Government
LABOR MEMBERS ARE
PLANNING CAMPAIGN
Maintain That IL Offlccrs can Refuse
to Fight their Countrymen, Privates
Can also Refuse to Take up Arms
Against Striking Workmcn.

London, March 24.-The dissolu-
tion of the British parliament has
been hastened by the events of the
last few days according to the opinion
generally expressed in political cir
cles and newspapers. The surrender
OF the government to officers of the
army who declined to serve against
Ulster men is particularly significant
in this connection.
Irish nationalities, it is pointed out,
Will not accept home rule with Ulster
permanently excluded. while the gov
ernment found 1t impossible to CONF
pei Ulster to come under the Dublin
parliament. 1t Is argued that the only
way out of the difficulty is to hold a
general election.
Expect Offer OF Dissolution.
No one will be surprised II the gov :
ernment, during the second reading
of the home rule bill next week,
should offer to dissolve parliament
on the condition that home rule,
Welsh disestablishment and plural
voting bills. be passed.
Dissatisfaction Of the rank and file
Of the liberals with the governments s
treatment Of army officers is another
factor likely to hasten a general elec-
tion.
Many radicals would like to Join
forces with the labor members and
basis that II the officers can refuse
to serve against Ulstermen, then men
in the ranks can refuse to serve
against striking wOrkmen

Senator Nc Oumber Temporari-
ly Postpones Attempt to
Place Bill Before Senate.

Washington, March 24.-Senator
Mccumber of North Dakota will not
make another attempt to get the fed
eral inspection bill before the senate
for some time. The senator admitted
yesterday that 1t has been displaced
as the unfinished business by the re-
public Coal company bill which was
considered Saturday.
He has determined, therefore, to
permit the opponents Of the bill to
submit such remarks as they desire,
and at some convenient time he will
ask that it be taken up by a vote of
the senate and that it be discussed
continuously each afternoon until IT
is disposed of.
The friends Of the inspection bill
claim today that they, have sufficient
votes to bring the bill up at any time,
and to pass 1t when debate is ex-
hausted. Opponents Of the measure
however. say that the bills advocates
are over-confident, and that this will
be shown in the final vote.
