ACoUITs LLOYD.GEORGE

London, December S-Herbert H. As- quith declared at the meeting of liberals today that there had been 8 carefully engineered campaign against him. but he acquitted MT. David ,Lloyd-George and his other associates of complicity.
 Last Friday Mr. Asquith said he re- ceived MT. Lloyd Georges proposal for . smaller war council. He replied that the prime minister must preside. Mir. Lloyd-George did not agree with the aI- ternatiye and on Sunday the unionist ministers intimated that if he did not resign, they would
 He saw MT. Lloyd-George later and appealed to A. Bonar Law to remain. They had a conference and attempted to accommodate their views as to the rela- tionship between the premier and the war council to the personnel of the council On these points they differed strongly and sharply.
 An arrangement was then suggested whereby the premier should control the war policy; that the war council should submit it's decisions to him and all other matters submitted to him. No decision was reached and he wrote MT. Lloyd George next day giving his decision.
 The following morning he found a state ment in the newspapers that the premier was to be excluded from the war coun- cil. He believed there had been a breach of confidence, although he accepted Mir. Lloyd-George's disclaimer. He wrote MT Lloyd-George that he would not remain in the cabinet a spectator of the war and that the war council must have the premier as chairman.

NO NEW BILLS CONTEMPLATED

Plans approved by the President for the introduction of his railway pro- gramme in Congress contemplate no new bills. All of the proposals, it was agreed to today between Senate lead- CTS and Representative Adamson, chair man of the House interstate and for eign commerce committee, will be of fered as amendments to a House bill now before the Senate This measure would provide for an additional mem- Der of the interstate commerce com mission and amendment of it to meet the various features of the Presidents programme would be comparatively simple in comparison with introduce ing several separate measures.
 Under this amendment arrangement either house, the leaders think The Senate interstate and foreign com merce committee will continue to hear testimony on the railway situation generally; the House committee which framed the Adamson bill for the pres ent will not touch the railway situ- ation so far as it concerns the Pres ident's programme, and in the mean time labor leaders, employers and the President can be carrying on their ne- gotiations. No substitute plan can be agreed upon. The congressional ma chinery will be ready for rushing the Presidents programme in whatever form he may desire to a speedy vote. If it should include a compulsory ar bitration clause organized labor is ex- pected to make the fight of its life against it.

WHY HE RESIGNED

After consulting with his friends he esigned. He had since been asked why he did not accept a subordinate position. His colleagues were unanimous in advis- ing against it. It was pointed out that if he joined the government, the at tacks would continue.
 MT. Asquith said he believed he could serve through to the end of the war with better advantage by continuing his position. He persuaded his colleagues to exercise their own judgment in the mat ter of joining the cabinet. It was hu- initiating to think that anybody should suggest that anybody was trying to re- strain his colleagues from serving.

LOADED COAL CARS
 WERE HELD WHILE
 PRICES WENT HIGH
Official Inquiry Into Cost of Living Has Found Some Causes of Great
 Increase

Washing gton, December S.-Officials conducting the governments inquiry into the high cost of living virtually completed tonight programme to place tomorrow before President Will son and Attorney General Gregory providing for simultaneous grand jury investigations throughout the country Details as to the number and loca- tions of the proposed inquiries were not disclosed
 It was said that doubt no longer existed as to whether there had been combinations to boost coal prices and that effective means to punish those who had violated the law in contrib uTing to the rises were being studied President Wilson and the cabinet dis cussed the situation today and it is understood decided to await further disclosures before reaching a conclu- sion as to recommendations to be made by the President to Congress
 ACTION IS DEFERRED
 decided to defer action on bills and resolutions bearing on the subject un- til after the holidays.
 United States Attorney Anderson of Boston, conducting the Investigation established headquarters at the depart ment of justice, called at the White House, conferred for several hours with interstate commerce commission officials, spent sometime with Oliver E. Pagan, the departments expert on drawing indictments and dispatched fresh instructions to the field force of investigators throughout the country
 The interstate commerce commission began work on mass of information relating to car shortage and coal ship ments for use in contemplated prosecu- tions.
 CARS ARE HELD
 Indications are that the department diate activities on inquiring into the operations of coal dealers and minor railroad employees in the middle west with view to determining whether cars are deliberately withdrawn from their normal channels to aid in creat- ing an artificially high level in prices.
 Interstate commerce commission sta- tistics are understood to show that at the height of the rise in coal prices hundreds of loaded cars stood in rail- road yards in the middle west.
 Some cars, investigation Is said to have disclosed, have been held loaded from four to six weeks and one case has been reported where a car has been held loaded 106 days. Measur- able scarcity of refrigerator cars for, shipment of perishablea foodstuffs was reported to have been caused by fail- ures of consignee to handle then, promptly Whether this failure was part of a concerted plan to create q car shortage and advance prices is ln- der icyesrigatiOn

Outflank them.
 However, there has been little ac- tivity either on the Pennsylvania Moldavian frontier or in Dobrudja. The Germans have repulsed Russian attack in the Trotus valley and the Russians report the checking of an offensive movement in the Oituz val ley. Petrograd says all has been calm in Dobrudja and along the Danube.
 In the rounding up of the forces cut off by their advance on Bucharest, the troops of Won Mackensen have captured 1S,000 prisoners and 26 guns. The Rumanian troops isolated in west ern Wallachia, numbering 5000, have been taken as well as 10000 of the Altchanz passes.
 RUSSIANS TAKE INITIATIVE
 Undeterred apparently by the check ing of their offensive in the Car pathians, the Russians have again taken the initiative there, Petrograd states. The present Russian attempt is taking place south of Jarovnik
 
 the Carpathians can be said to be a failure and declares only local attacks have occurred in that region. The re- pulse of a Russian attack on the Dvina front below Riga also is recorded by Berlin.
 ON VERDUN FRONT
 Hill BOA in the Verdun region and the forest of Apremont, southeast of St. Mihiel, have been the scenes of the only reported activity on the west ern front. Paris claims the Germans were elected from section of the trenches on Hill 3o4, but. Berlin as- serts the troops of the crown prince repulsed French attempts to retake the trenches. The Germans, Paris records, succeeded in gaining a foot hold in French trenches in the forest of Apremont, but later were elected by counter attack.
 SERVIANS FIGHTING Heavy fighting around struvina, east of Monastir. on the Macedonian front, is recorded by Paris, which says the Servians. checked three attacks by German and Bulgarian troops. Ser vian attacks near Trnova, west of Monastir, were repulsed, Berlin states Snow in the Trentino region and rain oil the Carso is hampering infantry action on the Austro-Italian front. The loss of the battleship Suffren, with it's complement of 71S men, is considered probable by the French minister of marine. The Suffren, which sailed from Lorient, Brittany, on No vember 24, has not been heard from since

Effort to Be Made to Elimi- nate Compulsory Arbi-
 tratiOn Features
CONGRESS WILL NOT
 HURRY LEGISLATION
As It Now Stands Presidents Pro- gramme Will Be Fought Bitterly by Gompers and Brother
 hoods Who Fear Results

Washington. December S.-Congressionsl action on President Wilson's railway leg isation programme probably will await the result Of determined efforts of labor leaders to draft a substitute for all forms of compulsory arbitration. a plan for dealing with strikes, actual and threat ened, which will be agreeable to their followers, employers and the administra- ton.
 The determination of the President to undertake making impossible by law such a situation as he faced last September in the railroad dispute has aroused all branches of labor to the greatest ac- tivity. The unofficial alliance between the American Federation of Labor and the four railway brotherhoods arranged recently a Baltimore for the purpose of, among other things, of opposing danger ous' legislation, is bearing it's first fruit in conferences between representatives of both organizations for the purpose of drafting a plan that will shelve all com pulsory arbitration bills.

WILL GO SLOWLY

Congressional leaders, aware of this ac- tivity, are inclined to go slowly the Presidents programme pending announce ment of labor's proposals, provided, of course they are revealed during the pres ent session of Congress. A delay even of 60 days, House leader said today, would still leave Congress time to take any action it might deem necessary.
 Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, said tonight that conferences already have taken place between Brotherhood and Federation leaders, but that no concrete plan had been worked out. Hope exists he said, that some plan can be drawn that will make congressional action unnecessary.
 If a scheme satisfactory to the work CTS is drafted, it is understood it then will be submitted to representa- tives of the railroads and other employers and to the President Approval of 1t probably would mean that Congress at least would eliminate the compul- sorry arbitration feature from any leg iSlation enacted

that would end the present problem.
He said nothing, though, of the cost
of lives i'll the, undertaking; it mat
tered not how many homes it would
desolate, how many widows and
orphans it would create; following
Republican practice, material gains
were sought, the penalty need not
be considered. Senator Morehouse
talked at length on the child-labor
law, and while he did not attempt to
discredit the Democratic administra-
ton for having passed it. he claimed
the measure was Of Republican orr
gin and Republican votes were nee
essary to pass it during the late SEES
sion Of congress-. He forgot to state.
however, that the measure came up
several times for action between the
years 1896 and 1912, when the Re-
pub1icans had absolute control Of all
the government departments and
could have made it a law had their
leaders acquicsced.
The senator, considering the fact
that he had no base on which to
build his premises, made a fairly
good talk, and interested his audi
ence throughout. The crowd stayed
until the end. but it is safe to say
that neither Miss Marshall nor Sena-
tor Morehouse made any converts to
the Republican cause.
