LABOR PARTY ONCE
 MORE WINS FIGHT
GoVernqlent Victor When Bald- win Springs CenSure Vote

London, July r. tP)-The British labor government today could see the sunshine through the parliam entary clouds which have threatened it for weeks.
 Last night long projected vote of censura on the ministry's pro- teCtionist policy was sprung uneX- peCtedly by the conservative leader, Stanley Baldwin, in the midst of an official statement on the Egyptian situation. The government defeated the attacked SIP to 241, one of its largest recent majorities Il.
 Another menace, arising from doubts of the opposition as to their securing representation on the Brit ish delegation to the forthcoming London round table conference on Indian affairs, seemed likely today to be disapated by government con- pliance with demands for all-party representation at the conference.
 Probable Personnel
 Although there was no official an- nouncement indications pointed strongly, the Ministerialist Herald said, to delegation including Prime Minister Macdonald and Wedgwood Benn for the government, Stanley Baldwin and Sir Austen Chamberlain for the conservatives, Lord Reading or David Lloyd George for the liberals.
 The ministry's conflict with the house Of lords over the coal mines bill seemed to be resolving itself also, with approval by the miners federation executive Of the house of lords demand for inclusion of a "spreadover' fortnight of go v-<rk- working hours in replacement of the ministry's own 1-2 hour working day.
 Under the governments plan. which probably will enable passage of the long mooted coal mines bill, the spreadover could be applied only by joint agreement Of the mine own CTS and miners associations and would be inopera ble without their joint approval. The bill, when it ap- pears before the commons next. probably will he amended in this manner and returned to the lords for final, and it is expected, favor able action.

 Bicycle Event On
 Out on Artesian avenue three boys were enduring on bicycle. They had done 325 miles last night and still were going. They startetd Monday. A refueling crew has been established in a tent, in case the bicycle develops tire trouble.
 That grand stunt of tree-sittlng, conceived by brilliant adolescents as the enduringest of the endurance trials, has become epidemic. In at- most every part of town some dar- ing youth may be found perched in a tree top, being refueled by proud and admiring ground crew.
 Some mothers have put a stop to "this foolishness," as one or two were unkind enough to describe it. but others are giving Nlctual support to the contestants. These latter mothers, in some instances, have ex- pressed sympathy with their chill dren's announced determination to remain aloft until the September school bells ring out. They reason that if their boys are sitting in tree they won't be tracking mud across the kitchen linoleum.
 Plataform Collapses
 The Gilmore boys, John and Mar tin, and the Murphy brothers, Jimmy, and Hugh, saw their tree sitting attempt end in catastrophe last night. Their platform col lapsed, splling two Murphys and one Gilmore harmlessly to the ground. John Gilmore chung to the branches, thus outlasting the other three and becoming automatically the champion tree sitter of the Murphy and Gilmore families.
 Some of the treetoppers have in stalled radios and one or two young sters have equipped their roosts with electric lights and fans.
