UN|0N|STS WIN THE DAY
Asqu1th Will Introduce Promised
Amendment to Homo
Rule Bill,

LONDON, June 11.-Premier Asquith
announced in the house Of commons to-
day his intention to introduce the prom
Used bill to amend the Irish homo rule
bill before any further progress is made
by the house OF lords with tho second
reading OF the main measure. The union
lists thus have won the day with their
insistent demand that he should take this
action. The lords will be entirely free to
change the amending bill as they think
proper and it is generally assumed that
they will insert provisions for the uncon-
dltional exclusion Of Ulster from the ope-
ration OF the Irish home rule bill and
also Tor the protection OF the Protestant
minority in the rest Of Ireland
The untonists in this way will be en-
abled to test how far the government
and the Irish nationalists are prepared
to go IN the direction Of compromise
The new bill is not likely to be brought
into the house Of lords before the week
beginning June q.
