DRINKING CHARGES

Offered House.

LONDON, October 27-Dr. Alfred
Salter, Laborits NJ. p, who is a robust
teetotaler, yesterday was rebuked by
the House of Commons for his recent
speech in which he charged members
with drunkenness. The House adopted
motion declaring that DR.. Salter had
grossly libeled the House and had ex-
ceeded his privileges in his speech.
The House, however. was mildly
scandalized by DIR. Salter's attitude
when he was called upon to explain
entirely unrepentent for his speech,
and offered to substantiate his
charges by giving names. He was
prevented from doing this when q
labor amendment to refer the matter
to committee of privileges, to whom
DIR. Salter offered to give the names,
was defeated 247 to IS.
Conservatives Accused.
DIR. Salter asserted that he himself
had helped to remove hopelessly
drunk members from the House. and
that he had repeatedly witnessed dis
orderly scenes that were due to the
infiunce of drink. This, he said, was
q matter of common complaint with
regard to members Of the conserva.
tive side"
This drew ministerial protests, but
DIR. Salter remained undaunted and
said that in order to have dignity in
the House, he was ready to give
names to any select committee the
House might appoint.
Amid Laborite cheers DIR. Salter
withdrew while the matter was
debated.
SObriety Progressing.
T. p. O'Connor, the Father of the
House." regretting DIR. Salter's "ex-
trennism," said that OF late years So
briefly both inside and outside Of the
House had taken enormous strides.
Former Premier Lloyd George and
John r. Clynes, the Laborite. con-
CURED in this.
Premier Baldwin then mildly sug.
gested that "in an assembly OF over
500 men there must be occasion when
members would forget themselves"
I'VE all know this, but we do not
talk about it," he said. There ought
to be a more decent reserve, and what
hurt the House was that a member
| should talk about these things outside
and then should not regret doing So"
The speaker, having given the opin.
ion that the House compared very
favorably with other Parliaments. the
matter was then disposed Of success
fully without any member being
openly stigmatized as a drunkard.

school Nine. de Nanteuil represents
by sending employees there for instruc-
ton and by conducting classes them
selves. The baroness, who is engaged
in lettering conditions for the Paris
salesgirls, undertook her exacting
task to keep herself occupied with
other than purely domestic and social
pursuits.
Her training entailed not only close
application in the classroom but long

shop counters.
L'Ecole Technique de Vente is an

girls not only listen to what the pro-

Commissioner Humphrey pro-

serious differences of opinion with
in the commission. In abandon

that since a respondent to a COM
plant receives a review of his case
by the commission, oftentimes be-

and since in many cases no an.
swers are received, the commission
found 1t advisable to abandon the
