PACIFIST MOTION
 IN PARLIAMENT IS
 QUICKLY REJECTED
Repudiation of Government
 Of England Lost By
 Vote of 159 to 2o; Bonar Law Defends Work Done
TRepubiican A. p. Leased WireJ

LONDON, Feb. 13.-An amendment proposed by Richard Holt, radical, eX- pressing regret that in accordance with the decisions of the supreme war council at Versailles, prosecution of the military effort is to be the only i'm mediate task of the government" was rejected by a vote Of 159 to 2S The minority was composed mainly of pa cifists.
 Lord Hugh CaciI had declared that the adoption of the amendment would involve the resignation of the govern- ment.
 Lord Hugh Cecil had declared that house today that the British govern ment is giving great attention to a league of nations He added that he himself had prepared scheme for it.
 Criticism of the gos ernment handling of home affairs was voiced by Herbert Samuel, the former home secretary. Regarding man-pOWer he said Great Britain stood in virtually the same pO- sition as she did in December, 1916. With respect to food the Soverpment had somewhat better record but he asserted the increased production of food was only four per cent net, of which three per cent related to Ireland.
 % Food not Satisfactory
 The situation as to food control, he declared, was very far from satisfac- tory. Further, the promise of the pre- mier as to shipbuilding in 1911 did not square the results. TIxre was only half of the increase estimated by the shipping controller, and only one-third of that estimated by the premier.
 Another complaint was the produc- , ton of beer The actual production had been fifteen and a half million barrels. whereas the premier had said it would be reduced to ten million bar rels.
 The last subject on which he wished to criticize the policy of the govern ment was finance. During the last fourteen months there had been al increase in the daily national eXpend- iture of two million pounds, or an in crease of forty per cent.
 MT. Samuel said it was clear that the present system of the government was not working to the. best advantage 1 They had six weary men exhausted with labor endeavorlng every day tC catch up with ever accommodating ar rears of work After fourteen month: it could not be said that the wal cabinet had proved successful. l No Definite Peace Offer 1 Arthur J.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Living condi- tions in the stock yards district in the neighborhood known of as back of the yards," were the subject of much testl- mony in the meat packers wage arbl- tration hearing before Federal Judge Sam Alschuler today.
 Mrs. Rosalie Bobeck, a widow of ten days and the mother of three children, said her husband had worked for Will son & O.. in the Chicago stock yards for several years His earnings, she said, never had been as much as $2u until the week before he died when he worked eighty hours and received S23. He was a truckman at the time of his death.
 When her children had measles she did not have money enough to have . doctor and when her husband died she had to rely on friends to pay his fun eral expenses.
 In answer to questions by Attorney Frank F. Walsh she said she never at tended theater, moving picture show, a picnic or other form of amnsement. She declared she never even went for street car rides to public parks because she could not afford it.
 Mrs. Anna c. McQuillan, whose hus- band is at present an organizer for the American Federation of Labor but for merly working in the stock yards as a iard inspector for S110 a month, testi- fled that she was never able to live de- gently with her three children on her husbands salary. She read a statement of the living expenses of . family of five prepared by an official of one of the stock yards labor unions. It to- tailed $1,2SS.S4 forV Vhe year and after inspecting it carefully the witness said no family of five could live decently on that sum under the present high cost of living. It allowed s20 a month for rent $60 for fuel and $50 to clothe the moth- CT and children.

WASHlNGTON, Feb. 13.-Presidenr Wilson was urged today by a dele sation from the American National Livestock association to adopt a na- uonal livestock policy covering pro duction and distribution as one prob lem. It was suggested that a joint committee of the department of asri culture and the food administration formulate such a policy.
 In formal address accompanyins the presentation. of resolutions adopt ed by the association's convention. Dwight E. Heard declared the hard and fast line drawn between produc- tion and distribU ion was responsible for unsatisfactor' conditions.
 While the me producer" he said sees his industl in serious danger as a result of ne conditions men tioned, the finds labor amply pro tected and receiving liberal returns. and the meat packers, as well as producers of steel. copper. flour. sugar lumber and many other com modities making liberal profits and as a livestock producer, he naturally feels that he is entitled to fair re- turns

 AT BUCKEYE: SHOOT MAN
Three White Robbers Cut Telephone Wires So They
 Can Work Undisturbed; Fail to Secure Cash

After cutting the telephone cable to prevent communication with the au- thorities, and with an automobile wait ing for them and their loot, three bank robbers blasted the entire interior of the Buckeye bank early this morning, and seriously wounded a man named Keeling, one of the party of three men, awakened by the explosion who pur- sued them. Whether Keeling will live or not is not known at 3:30 o'clock this morning.
 No money was obtained by the rob- bers, on account of the second heavy charge of dynamite set in the inner vault, which failed to explode. The brick building is badly wrecked.
 The terrific explosion attracted the attention of Keeling, father-in-aw of Cy Young, restaurant and pool hall owner, Dundas, a chef and baker, who were sleeping in the pool hall The three hurried to the bank and fired several shots at the bandits who fled when discovered
 he robbers fled across an altalfa field towards the Arizona Eastern tracks and jumped into waiting auto- mobile.
 Informed by the Buckeye authorities tkat the men were believed headed this way in the automobile, three attaches of the sheriff's office left Phoenix at 3 o'clock this morning in the hopeFof intercepting the robbers.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-WiIl H. h.. of Indiana, elected chairman of the republican national committee here today, will have a free hand in bring ing about harmony for the next at tack on the democratic citadel, ac- cording to weary committeeman, who rested from their labors tonight.
 Fhe committee eliminated the en- tire executive committee so as to make a clean job of providing the party with new leadership.
 A. T. Hert, representing Kentucky. said that from what he knew of Hays energy, it would not be long before the committee was called to- gether to act with the chairman in selecting a new executive committee.
 The recommendations of th6, old executive committee calling for an ad- visory committee of women and con tinuing the old Hughes campaign committee were ignored, it was said, in order not to bind Mir. Hays in any way as to his staff.
 There was considerable objection to eliminating the matter of the committee of the women, but Rudolph K. Hynicka, of Ohio, where woman suffrage was recently defeated, was sustained in his contention that the matter could safely be left to Mir. Hays. None of the suffragists who addressed the committee yesterday was present They were chiefly in terested in obtaining a pledge for the federal amendment and this the com mittee gave, in adopting the resolu- tion made public by the executive committee yesterday. Resolutions pledging support to the Wilson ad- ministration in pressing the war, eX- pressing gratitude and affection foI Theodore Roosevelt and paying tribute to Lincoln were also adopted.
