EXPECTED TO STICK
AND ASK NEW VOTE
Defeat Only a Severe Shock So
Far: Hopes for Reversal on
Reconsideration.

London, Oct 24-politieal experts
and the editorial utteranees in the news
papers. this morning, generally express
the view that no one expects. the gov
ernment to resign as result Of the
adverse vote in the house of commons,
Thursday. and that the circumstance Of
the defeat of the pilots amendment in
nowise need entail such a step
The incident, however. is regarded on
all sides as one which has given the
administration a severe shock. a repeti-
ton Of which it could hardly survive.
The vote is generally described as an
assertion of the Independence of the
house of commons and a revolt agains.
the alleged dictation of ministers
determination to resume the supremacy
which the commons surrendered to the
cabinet during the war.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the government on Monday will ask the
house to reconsider the vote and it is
regarded that the house may comply.

followed by orders from the leaders
of the United Mine Workers TO a
mass meeting of 5000 to 5000
kanaWha coal miners at Cabin
Greek Junction, tonight, which sent
the men back home and to work.
The abandonment of the project
came after Governor John J. Corn

Washington, charging that the men
were meditating second armed in

fields.
Meanwhile orders had been re-
ceiyed at Camp Zachary Taylor, near
Louisville, to hold four provisional
hattaIions of infantry and machine
gunners of the First division ready
for riot and strike duty. The or
ters were, apparently, from Gen.
Wood
The governor also charged that

tributed among the miners, and there
had been much talk of shooting pub
iic officials and taking control of
the government.
Many of the miners who took part
IN the meeting were armed, the gov

only fair profit" Honest business
men, he continued, are asked to aid the
department in enforcing the law against
profiteering, so as to avert the public
! scorn which will come to them as a
class if they do not drive out every man
who charges an unjust and unreasonable
profit"
Mr.. Palmer declared this policy was to
