LAeon.S OPPOSITION.
BRISTOL. England, Jan. 30
Strong opposition to the governments
CONSUMPTION bill was reported by
delegates at the opening Of the labor
conference today, when 600 represen-
tatives Of more than 100000 work
ers gathered. There were marked diff
ferenees Of opinion, however, as to
the method by which this opposition
might be most effectively expressed.
Leaders predicted bitter debates over
resolutions prepared by radical labor
ties, suggesting that the conference
approve a general strike against con-
scription.
Todays conference was the most
important in the history Of English
unionism not only because Of the con-
scription issue, but because labor's
attitude toward taxation and toward
peace suggestions was to be dis
cussed.

Natural Curiosity.

Joe had been working In Baltimore
On the day before Christmas he re-
ceived his pay and planned to go home
to Washington. but first he started out
to buy presents for all his family. He
did this with more generosity than
foresight. and when evening came he
found himself at the railway station
loaded with bundles. but with no mon
ey for his fare TO Washington.
Somehow he got through the gate
and approached the conductor. He
laid the case before him and ended
with a plea that be might ride to
Washington on the platform OF the bag
gage car. The conductor, his heart
warmed by the spirit of the season
id. "All right: go ahead"
So joe climbed on the platform
the car next tn the engine. 1t was II
cold night. and 1t was on road where
the engine takes up water from trac
reservoir as 1t goes along
When the train reached Washington
the conductor saw Joe appronchin"
covered with ice from head to foot
bundles and all. He came up 10 the
conductor and said: Il sure does thank
you. boss. for muh ride. Yous YER
kind TO allow muh to ride up with yon
but there's jus one question ] wants
