The present trouble which divides

over a year ago, 'when the :Lords re-
jected Lloyd -George's budget, which
bad passed through the House. of
Commons. This resulted in the dis-
solution of ' Parliament and precipi-
tated a general election, which 'was
held early this year,
The voters endorsed the budget and

and when the new .Parliament reas-

insisted on the passage of a set :of
resolutions limiting the veto power of
the House of Lords, before the cob-
aideratite ':°i"n;,•„•n ,_ie nen ._. •
Several of the speakers declared
that the lowering of the tariff
would mean a blow to the manu-
facturers of the country and were
emphatic in declaring that any
treaty entered into should not be.
be in favor of United States.
Alex: Saunders, manager of the
Goelerich Organ Company,spoke on
behalf of the manufacturers but
declared that the farmers had a
right to some redress. He declared
Canadian manufacturers could
stand on the samet ground with all
the world.
Some of the speakers Were Thos.

of Goderich Township, and W..1.11.

It was not decided at this meet.'
ing to send any delegates to Ot-
tawa. The meeting adjourned to
meet in the same: place this 'Satur-
day afternoon, o
Resolutions Introduced
'The natter was finally settled in
the Lower House by the introduction
of a set of resolutions which aimed
to pass ss a law too prevent the House of
Lords from rejecting or amending a
money bill; but that such liniltations
shall not in any wise affect the rights
and privileges, of the Commons. as
they now exist. . .
The second of the resolutiois pro-
vided that the powers of the House o1
Lords respecting all other bills be re-
stricted so that if any bill shall be
passed by the Commons at three suc-
cessive sessions and rejected by the
Lords , at each of these sessions, it
shall become a law without the assent
of the Lords provided that at least
two years shall have elapsed between
the introduction of the measure and
its third passage by the House of
Commons. The third resolution limn
ted the duration of a Parliament to
five instead of seven -years,
After. the Commons had again. pass-
ed the budget, Parliament took 'a re i
cess until May 26, when the veto
resolutions were to be considered.
Before the date came around, how-
ever, the Grim. Reaper claimed the
much' beloved King Edward, and the
wholecountry 1
wa s plunged into a
period of mourning. Following the
cessation of ceremonies, incidental to
the burial of the King, a more. friend-
ly attitude was manifested by the
leaders of the dissenting parties. Both
bides showed a willingness to settle
the' matter without precipitating an
election so soon ,after the obsequies.
It was finally agreed that 'all the un-
fortunate differences' should be set-
tled by a 'conference committee com-
posed of members of both parties.
.'this committee, which was composed
of Premier Asquith, Lord. Crewe, Mr.
Lloyd George acid Mr. A. Barrell, re-
presenting the Government, and. Mr..
Arthur Balfour, Lord , Lansdowne,
Earl Cawdor and Mr. Austin•Chamben
lain,' representing the, Opposition, held.
several meetings with a view to reach-
ing au agreement,but ended in failure,
thus making another election inevi-
table
nevitable unless the House, of Lords pass-
ed the Veto Bill. Subsequently, how-
ever. they ignored it. '
The House of Lords la said to -be
elle one obstacle. in the way of Home
Rule for -Ireland, anti when the .Irish
leaders cast their vote for the Budget
it was with the understanding • that
the Government would see toit that
a bill was passed limiting the veto of
the House of Lords in order toget a
dome Rule bill. through..
•
. The Labor Situation
•Another serious question has' come
up within the past few months. This
'had to do with the question of whether
'or not labor unions may. pay labor
members in trio House cef'Comfnons.
;aThe members of the English Parlia-
meet receive- no;" compensation from
'the Government, Tor their work. • it is
'purely: an honorary position. The vast
•majority of the mehnbers are of neces-
sity in comfortable financial circum•:
stances before entering politics. With
:the . representatives of the Labor .Par-
ty, however, it is. different. They are`
selected from the . ranks •of laboring
men, and, of course,, in a majhrity of
cases, have no resources. For this.
reason it has been the custom of the;
labor unions to pay their expenses.
In a suit recently brought in England,
a decision. was 'handed down, .which
refused labor :unions the right to use
their money for political campaign
expenses, and to pay labor members
in the'-
House x 'fo their' work. .
• The decision. created a fvrore in lar
bar circles and the labor unionsnow.:
demand that a bill b? •passed giving
them the 'right to us • the money for
political
purpcses. •-Such 'a bill would
got through the Commons all right,
but would have a hard time in the
House of.. Lords. ,• •
