Thankful for ANY
Home Rule Bill.

Home Rule Bill. ,ion,, ,s,s 80 ns,
any sor; of home rule. The royal Irish
constabulary is reserved to the British
government for six years time. when it,
too, will go under the Irish parliament
That means that for six years after the
bill becomes a Law the world will have
the spectacle of a country with a par
lament and an executive government
presumably autonomous. every city and
village OF which is poiced by uniformed
constabuiary under the command ard d.

II would he as If the Congress at
Washington Were to give each of the
forty-eight states the management OF
forty-eight individual post office depart
rnents but insisted all the police and
peace officers being under the federal
government.
After these reservations. the bill goes
on to make some further limitations
upon the power of the Irish parliament.
The most important of these, perhaps.
affects religion and was inserted to allay
the fears of the Ulster Professionals. The
clause reads: In the exercise OF their
power to make laws under this act, the
Irish parliament shall not make law
so as to either directly or indirectly es-
tablish or endow any religion or prohibit
the free exercise thereof. or to give a
preference, privilege or advantages, or I'M
pose any disability or disadvantage on
account of religious belief or religious or
ecclesiastical status. or to make any re-
iigious belief or religious ceremony con-
dition of the validity of any marriage.
On top of all this the imperial pariia-
ment retains the power to veto any les1s-
lation passed by the Irish parliament at
the time of its passage, and also retains
the power to repeal or amend or alter
any act of the Irish government.
1t would appear that the imperial
parliament has kept most of the power.
but. as a matter of fact. the grant is
full enough to cover all local matters.
and when things are brought up in the
imperial parliament there will be an
Irish party to look after them.
There is absolutely nothing to prevent
the substantial repeal of the act. in whole
or in part at any time hostile major
ity may come into power in London. The
only thing that gives any guarantee of
permanency is the British reverence for
whatever is constitutional

ployers declare their roads earnings
make advances out Of the question.
The federal mediation, Cancellation

Newland,s law admits failure to secure
the slightest compromise.
Today the committees representing
the railroad brotherhoods and the
roads are enroute to this city. Tomor-
row In the executive offices, the en-
tire matter will be threshed out with
the president lending his aid in last
desperate effort to prevent a strike.
A strike at this time would admit

European war to date.
The greatest crops in the history OF
the United States are being moved.
The crops are emerging from period
of depression. Markets Of the world
are waiting the food products of the
American farmer. Every one Of the
roads where the strike threatens, is
the feeder of a great and rich agri-

Following the failure Of federal
mediators to bring the two sides TO-

mediation proceedings last night, it
was said by union leaders that the
strike would probably be called next
Wednesday or Thursday unless the
president can induce employees to &C
