London, Eng, January 14.-The
National Railway Mems union, through
its executive committee, filings de-
fiance in the face of the British gov
crnment. The executive committee
talks of declaring general railroad
strike over the whole kingdom in case
the government attempts to put it's
conscription bill into effect. Members
of the committee say that the union
will stand for CONSUMPTION only if the
government seizes all the wealth of
the kingdom and turns that into the
channels of war revenue. They say
they will not stand for an enforced
draft on the men of the nation, while
wealth escapes.
Labor Opposed to CONSUMPTION.
1t has become evident that organ
lied labor in Great Britain is opposed
to any form of CONSUMPTION. Taking
the action of the railway mems exec
utive committee together with that of
the Federation of Miners, which in
cluded 100000 miners, the. situation
looks very bad for CONSUMPTION, as
far as organized labor is concerned.
There is no doubt that the British
cabinet views the situation with a
great deal of anxiety. Premier As
quith held a conference today with
members of this cabinet, on the sub
ject of conscription and the opposition
of organized labor, and it is reported
that some of the more drastic features
of the CONSUMPTION bill are likely to
be eliminated, before the measure is
placed on its final passage.

Minneapolis, Mimi, January IL
Frederick T. Price may know by to-
night whether he is to go at liberty or
spend the rest of his days in prison.
1t seemed this afternoon that the case
would get to the jury by four o'clock.
Special County Attorney Armstrong
showed the glove of the dead woman,
and showed the place where it had
been cut over the third finger. He
declared that if Price had not been
drunk at the time he cut the glove, he
would have cut it in the right place,
right over the diamond ring.
Rediculed Doctors Testimony.
The prosecutor ridiculed the testi-
mony of Dr.. D. c.. Cowles in regard
to the fracturing of the woman's head
on both sides, as if that could have
been done by the fall alone. He said
that testimony was contradicted by a
veteran in that science, and it seemed
that this must have been Dr.. Cowles'
first case, or about the first, judging
from the kind of testimony that he
gave.
His closing address arraigned Price
fiercely as monster of iniquity, a
cold -blooded fiend, whose hands were
stained with innocent blood, and who
nevertheless was calm, cool and self
possessed.
