PLAN OUTLINED FOR
 IRISH PARLIAMENT
New Home Rule Bill Would Have Two such Bodies and Senate of 41-
 Carson Silent on Matter

London. Nov. 26.--A new home rule bill setting up two parlia m ents in Ire land, with a council or senate of 10 to be chosen by the two. will proba bly be introduced in parliament within the next two weeks.
 Daily sessions are being held by the cabinet committee in charge of the mea sure the subject under dis cussion at present being finance. which is in charge of a sub compnit- tee under the chairmanship of J. Aus ten }Chamberlain, chancellor, of the eXchequer. HControl of customs has always been a point of sharpest diff ference when. other home rule schemes have been distributed and was one of the, rocks on. which the Irish con- Nc ntinn was shipWrecked. Control of police is another knotty point.
 The most hopeful sign of an agree menl is the silence which Sir Edward Carson. rhe Ulster leader. has pre- served since the latest Irish kite was flown. Sir Edward has not issued any mandates to the Ulster volunteers "to keep their powder dry" while the presence of two hitherto Staunch unionist leaders, Walter Hume Long and Baron Birkenhead, on the com mittee shows that Ulster is tending toward cOncilia ton.

Wish 1t luck. As soon as it has con- Ninced the men who work on the railroads, for instance, that the coal miners should get more for their product, which is indispensable to the Job of the railroad man it has accom- p'lshed real good for humanity, providing that it may keep the rail- road man satisfied with his wages. should he not be, and wish more, then the farmer who has to paN higher rates for his farm necessities must be pacitied, and the worker at another trade who is indirectly de pendent on the railroad for the f""d 1 that he eats and the material that he uses must be convinced that he must get no more money, despit" that he pays more

A whole hearted, Jealous, energetic CO., visions would bring about the con- dition in the United States which we all wish to see.
 There is no big leader in the party. we said before, there is no outline of how it will produce the essential cooperation. There are branches of labor which will not approve of the impeachment of Judge Anderson. While they may favor the abolish ment of an Injunction in connection with a strike, the defense of the coal miners will not be to their liking when they how the coal strike will affect their pocketbooks. Upon such cases as this the party will split. If it does not the American people win, but it will.
