the crowd was oblivious of him.
His boyish fingers made cold

Here was his Christmas before

He could almost feel the clean

Why, the shoes would step

on south on Meridian street.
That's all we know about him,
but we do know that there are
hundreds of boys and girls like him

They have flesh and blood

When winter walks. they get
cold, because they have no warm

daily they'd tell the crowds of
shoppers that pass by, Take care

pressed her hands and nose against

BIZ United Press
LONDON, July 15.-The govern
ment was defeated in the house OF
lords today on its coal bill.
The governments defeat-one OF
a, series in the house Of lords-came
when the peers, by vote OF l60 TO
SO. inserted in the coal minutes Dill
a clause providing for ninety hours
of work in the mines spread over
two weeks instead Of a straight
hour week, as the gov
eminent wishes.
The house of lords had inserted
the same clause in the bill Twice
previously and each time was re-
iected by the house Of commons.
The government now faces three
alternatives:
swallowing defeat and accept
ing the clause.
Dropping it's coal mines bill en-
tirely.
Resigning and preclpitating
general election.
The governments defeat pre-
cipitated a critical situation but It
may be several days before the gov
eminent announces what alterna-
tive it chooses to accept. 1t was
understood that before deciding,
the cabinet would consult leaders
of the miners federation on wheth-
er the miners would accept the bill
with the ninety-hour per fortnight
clause included.
