The dehole was unexpectedly brief, the opposing senators confining their remarks lo e: nUinatlons of tnelr rote. The result was made only the more certain by the efforts of the labor lenders to prevent nassage of the bill. Senators of both parties expreaaeu their reseniment of the lactlrs employed, and Myers of Montana made an especially bitter attack on Gomi>ers and h!» allies and on those who would cater to the labor vote. , The measure went at one* to the president, and so dJd the arguments end appeals of the labor le.ders. The latter urged the pre«ldent ft* veto the bill, and then prepared an elaborate brief presenting their side of the controversy. Their request for a veto was ■branded by the Knnntf*,' N.tlonrl council, though other fanners’ orgnnl nations approved the legislation. The genoml belief waa that Mr. Wilson would sign the hilt after It had been passed on by Attorney General Palmer, to whom he submitted It. The heads of the railway brothe'-hoods end other labor 'leaders were ealr* In their di« cushions «f the measure am? expressed (be belief that there would be no general strike of the rail worker*, though they were confident of their power to call a walkout that would tie np the transportation system* of the ertlre country. What they seem to want t»*st Is the creation of a tribunal on which the workers and management shall be rep-esented. Independent of the wage adjuwunr.t machinery provided by the Mil.

President Wilson’s rejoinder to the supreme council rejecting its reason* for revising tbe Adriatic settlement was well received hy the premiers, and It was predicted they would yield after further argument. The president’* note gave In detail his reaso-- for objecting to the new eonees*' Italy an"! for Insisting on his so! of tbe problem a* modlfled by tbe agreement of December 8 last. Gr»nt Britain and France. It wa* said In I.ondoii. would answer the note, as Italy Is now standing aside as an interested spectator irking the position (hat If the compromise falls, the pact of London will be put In forte. Presumably Mr. Wilson never would agree to this. *nd probably he would have tbe support of tbe present French government. Some very .nteresling event* In Rritl«h politic* are impending. For ing. the Irish home rule bill has been presented to parliament and la certain lo stir op thing*. The IjiMc parly Is planning tn nppo*e It <>n the ground that It will not lead lo a settlement of »be Irish question. After Ha introduction the measure was -hanged by the cabinet in two Impot* taut particulars.

Instead of reserving Indefinitely the control of custom* and excise to England, stale* clearly that control of all taxation will he transferred to Ireland the moment the two Irish legislature* demand It. This. It I* !•**. ileved. may gain for tbe Ml! the support of many of the Sinn Felner*. Another event of Importance In RrltPti politics was ihe rrtnm of Asquith lo parliament from Paisley with a majority of nearly 3.008 over the LaW candidate. It wa* assumen tbe former premier would resume active leadership of Ihe opposition, and (ronhlou* lime* tor Lloyd George were predicted. Mention must be made of .tie "rum rettelHon" that broke out last week tn Iron River.

Then n Joint federal and slate inquiry Into the circumstances surrounding thr “revolt" wa* started In Iron Rlvrr. Because of the widespread opposition to the universal m ’ltary training feature of the army bill, tl**- Republican lender* agreed lo sldelnicfc It f.,r tbe present, and the measure was pre sented to the house w.th that section omitted.
