CAUSTIC CRITICISM OF
THRONE BY PARLIAMENT

TO answer any questions before the pa
pers were presented to the houses.
IN these papers disclose that the
government surrendered TO those who
refused duty I'm Ulster. Premier As
quiths administration will face great
danger from rebellion in It's own
ranks. The most reliable parliament
airy writer's will make this statement
IN the morning papers.
The Labor party members. who
throughout NJ. Asquiths administra
tion have been criticised by many of
the rank and file OF their party for
seeming to be docilely chained To his
chariot wheels. are in open revolt.
They harp upon the fact that Tom
Mann was sent TO prison for six
months for melting the soldiers to re-
fuse TO fire upon strikers when or
dered. and demand to be informed as
to whether there Is to he one law for
aristocrats with commissions. and an
other for plebeians in the ranks when
II comes to matters OF conscience and
obedience TO orders.
Aristoerats vs. The People.
John Redmond. the leader OF the
Irish Nationalist party. In state
ment to the Associated Press today
declared that the question Is whether
the atmosphere OF the aristocratic
London drawing rooms or the will
OF the majority OF the people should
prevail
The house Of commons witnessed a
telling demonstration this afternoon
OF how the land lies II showed where
not only the Irish home rulers and
Laborites. who made Premier As
quith's majority and hold the balance
OF power in the house. stand. but
that many Liberals are opposed to
what. from their information. they
consider a surrender to the army
officers.
The army appropriation bill was
under discussion. and the Unionist
Leopold G. Amery moved a reduction
for the purpose of critizing the gov
ernment. on the ground that IL was
not entitled to use the army for party
purposes, which is the basis OF the
Unionist position in the present
crisis
The I.aborite John Ward. who was
dock laborer and at one time a pri-
vate in the army. seconded the mo-
tion, but from a different pointof
point of view. He said that the con-
servatives, by approving the rebellion
OF the officers, had started to smash
the British army. The house, he said
had to decide whether IL was going
TO maintain the discipline OF the army
as a neutral force, or whether the
parliament elected by the people
should absolutely without interfer-
ence from the king or the army make
the laws OF the realm"
Remarkable Demonstration.
When the speaker uttered in stem
torian tones. Without interference
from the king or the army" giving a
calculated and dramatic pause after
the word king" half the house was
on its feet cheering. All the labor
members and all the home rule Irish
men. and not only they but yerv
many OF the Liberal members, stood
and shouted for a considerable space
of time.

This does not necessarily mean a

of the United Mine Workers The
miners representatives have worked
hard in the interest OF peace. We
Will certainly use our best endeavors

Mr.. Green said that the miners
modified their terms so that they are
willing to accept the agreement in

conditions in different mining dis

not assent to this.
The joint committee of the opera.
