MOTOR BUS MEN TO
PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED NEW LAW
Owners Will Hold Meeting To-
night to Map Out a Plan
of Action.
CLAIM IT DlSCRlMlNATES

Claiming that the proposed resolu-
tion now pending In the Street and
Sewer Department, regulating tho OPP
Grafton OF motor busses in Whining
ton, is unfair and discriminatory, n
meeting OF bus men will be held to-
night to determine on some form OF
protest. and counter. action, II neces-
sary. The meeting, which win he held
at the office of the Delaware Rapid
Transit Co, at Third and Walnut
streets. viii be attended by represen-
tatives OF all companies owning and
operating busses I'm Delaware and into
Delaware from other states.
The resolution regulating bus traf-
flc. which was presented at the last
meeting OF the Street and Sewer III
rectors. on Tuesday proposes 10 re-
strict the operation OF busses to streets
not used by trolley cars. except where
this cannot be avoided will not per-
NIT the parking of busses In the con-
gested business districts; requires
double eXits and sanitary arrange
ments on. all vehicles i'm this class
prohibits the operation of busscs with
out permits from the city. and requires
heavy indemnity OF bonds.
Just what the bus men will do, AL
fred NJ. Tonnele. president OF the Peo-
pies Bus Line. was not prepared to
say this morning. In commenting on
the general subject, he said the pro
posed resolution IS drastic, unfair and
discriminatory. and he expressed the
belief that In it's present shape II would
not hold in law. He expects that at
tonight's meeting definite plan OF
action will he mapped out and counsel
engaged 10 represent the interests Of
those concerned In the protest. First,
he SAYS, in all probability, an effort
will be made TO have the Street and
Sewer directors remodel the resOlu-
ton and get il in such shape that 1t
will not be considered Objectionable.
Just what will be asked in this behalf
he was not prepared TO say. He inti
mated. however, that unless some ami
cable arrangement is reached, II may
he necessary 10 go into court and test
the authority of the Street Department
in the matter.
II is likely, therefore, that when the
Street and Sewer DlreCtO hold their
next meeting, on Tuesday, the bus
men will be on hand with such re-
quest as they deem advisable TO make.
1t IS also likely that no action will be
taken on the resolution until all in
terested have. had an opportunity TO
be heard in the matter.

OPPONENTS MAY FORCE
LLOYD GEORGE TO QUIT
Premier Warns Political An
tagonists to End Attacks or
He Will Retire.
by As.oulated frer, 10 Every Evnninr.

London. March 2-Either an carly
general election or the resignation of
Prime Minister Lloyd George will be
the upshot Of the present political
crisis. II ia generally believed.
The apparently widening breach I'm

the consistent gain I'm strength of the
Liberals under former Premier AS
quith and the Laborites. as evidenced
in the recent bye elections. have fore
I'd these alternatives on the premier
Mr.. Lloyd George is understood to
have served notice in his letter to !
Austin Chamberlain that Sir George
Younger, lender of the Conservative
s cessionists who recently attacked the
premier In the House of Commons.
must go or he Will step down from Of
fee.
Sir George Younger's tactics have
net with disfavor ainona; a consider
able section of the party. especially
with Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Chan
celior Birkenhead. the latter publicly
Hoicing his disapproval in a recent
speech. In this connection, some sig
niicance is attached to n report that
Younger may resign from the House
and be elevated to the peerage.
Meanwhile the government lead
'rs are giving much time to the prob
l.nl, and an early meeting OF the whole
conservative party Is expected.
Many Conservatives not only want
to- regain their complete liberty os
action by breaking Up the coalition.
but are fearful that II Mr.. IIovd
George succeeds in forming a Center
party of progressive Conservatives
and coalition Liberals, their own mar
ty VIII he doomed to extinction. Then
The cautious politics they stand for
Will be completely overridden at every
point.
The retirement OF Mr.: LLOYD George
would prevent English participation
at Ienoa and the conference would
all 10 the ground 1t would be a
trump card for the Republicans In Ire
land, FOR the die hards" are ayowed
opponents OF the treaty.
IL probably would mean repudiation
or the proposed settlement with Ecvpt
and the entry upon policy OF repres-
sion. At least further, negotiations
with the Provisional government
would become impracticable.
1t would mean whole-h hearted CO.
operation with France in her oppres-
sive and aggressive designs against
Germany. In fact. II would make for
worldwide confusion.
However. such a government could
not last. Mr.. Lloyd Georges friends
calculate that If he is content TO sit
back for a while. the whole country
soon would send up a cry for his re-
turn to power. but not perhaps before

the crisis Of the moment further In
