Spanish Premier Presents
Resignation Of Entire
Cabinet to King Alfonso

Madrid, Spain. Jan. .. via London
Count Romanones, who has been pre-
mier in the Spanish ministry since
December. 1915, today presented King
Alfonso the resignation of the entire
cabinet.
The Dato ministry resigned in De-
Cember, 1915. owing to opposition to its
proposals for military reform, and
Count De Romanones formed cabi-
net from the two sections of the Lib
eral party. He announced that he con-
templated no new departures in regard
to the attitude of Spain on questions
Of international policy.
There have been no recent indica-
tons of a ministerial crisis in Spain.
The uppermost question before the
government of late has been the is
sue raised ythe torpedoinS of Span
ish merchantmen. Last month Spain
addressed protest to Germany and
more recently there have been de-
mands on the government for more
vigorous policy in this respect.

Of the Congressional Union, formed
their new plans and held a meeting
pledging $4,000 for the silent sentinel
campaign. Headed by Miss Maud
Younger and Mrs Sara Bard Field.
800 suffragists from the Congressional
Union went to see the President osten-
Sibly to present memorials on the
death of Mrs. Inz Milholland Boisse-
vain. Because of the affair in the
House gallery in December, there was
some difficulty in arranging the audi
ence. but the President consented to
receive the women.
When they made it the occasion to
renew their pleas that he support the
suffrage amendment, the President OK
pressed his surprise, reminded the
spokesman of the party that he had not
been appraised of their full purpose and
was not prepared to say any more than
he had on previous occasions. He re-
pcated that he believed personally in
their cause. but as the leader of his
party could not commit 1t to action it
had not endorsed. The President added
he could not understand why women
failed to realize that the Democratic
party had done more LOT suffrage tHdH
the Republicans
Il do not See" said the President
how anybody can fail to observe from
the utterances of the last campaign that
the Democratic party is more inclined
than the opposition party to assist in
this great cause, and it has bene mat
ter of surprise to me and a matter of
very deep regret that so many of those
who were heart and soul for this cause
seemed so greatly to misunderstood and
misintrepret the attitude of parties.
Because in this country, as in every
other self-governing country, it is onf
through the instrumentality of parties
that things can be accomplished. They
are not accomplished by the individual
voice, but by concerted action. and that
action must come only so fast as you
can concert it. I have done my best
and shall continue to do my best to
concert it in the interest of cause in
which 1 personally believe"

Bitter Arrangement by Railroad
Counsel Of Surrender to
Strike Threat-Final State
ment in Governments Case
Today

Washington, Jan. 9.-Arcuments be
tutionality for the Adamson act near
ed a close tonight after an all-day at
tack upon the law by the railroad
counsel Tomorrow the final statement
of the governments case will be made
and the test suit submitted to the
court for decision.
Conqress' Lack Of Power
Questions of law, the merits of leg
islation and the manner of its enact
ment were raised and discussed at
length today, and members of the
court continued to add interest TO the
proceedings by interrupting counsel
with questions. Lack of Congress of
authority to enact what they termed
railroad wage legislation was the
principal point of attack of the rail-
road attorneys, Walker d. Hines and
John G. johnson. They contended also
that the law is incapable of operating
without judicial Interpretation takes
property without due process of law
and interferes with liberty of contract.
Difficulty of definitely applying the
law was emphasized by Mr.. Hines. He
said that although the law fixes an
eight-hour standard railroad day for
train operatives, nearly all such en-
ployes are employed on mileage, trip,
run or monthly bases.
THE primary purpose of the act was
arbitrary regulation OF private con-
tracts" he declared, in concluding an
address of more than three hours. TT
ing an unavoidable speculative arrange
ment. It's classtications give benefit
only to the four brotherhoods who were
demanding the chanGes-al for the
benefit of special high Paid class. In all
aspects it is of unconstitutional and be-
wildering unworkabiIity without rela-
ton to any substantial promotion of
commerce"
Assais Hssty Enactment
In the closing address for the rail-
roads, Mr.. Johnston assailed the haSty
enactment of the legislation by Con-
gress, as we'll as the conduct of the
brotherhood leaders. He said the act
was against public and purely for priv
ate interest "and arbitrarily transfers
between forty and fifty million dollars
from the pockets Of the railroads to the
pockets of the workmen."
He insisted it is solely and purely
a wage increase law, void and imprac-
ticable in attempting to establish an
eight-hour day. TO make the question
of railroad wages political TO be set
tied by Congress from time to time he
said would lead to unforeseen results.
Regarding the statement that the
act was passed to prevent a strike he
added
Have we come to that? Have we
reached the period when the men who
threaten to strike shall be rewarded?
I'm not comparing men. only methods,
but we might as well buy off gang
Of hichwaymen with a hribe to pre-
vent interference with commerce"
Half an hour before court adjourn
ed, Frank Hagerman Of Kansas City
special assistant to the attorney gener-
al, began the closing address of the
hearings, He defended the law as be-
ing capable of operation by a mere
change OF railroad bookkeeping, and
said Congress enacted it in the face
OF q great emergency"
