TIE•UP OF TRAINS.
Dutch Government to perm a hall
road Brigade.
Rho Hague, Mar 2.—Premier Kuy-
per introduced In the Second Cham-
ber of the States -General to -day
three bills In connection with the
recent railroad strike. Ho explained
that the Government considered It
necessary to oppose any unreason-
able attack on yooiety which would
sacrifice the well-being of the peo-
ple to the dewire of a certain class
for influence, and to political ty-
ranny. The Government, therefore,
proposed to dorm a railroad brigade,
to emir° a regular service of trains
in case of need. The just complaints
of railroad employees would be ad-
justed by a Royal Commiselon, which
would be entrusted later with the
settlement of the eltuntion from a
legal standpoint, as well as regard -
Ing the conditions of service of the
employees. It also would have to de -
•tilde what constituted orhulnal nets.
The Government did not desire to be
reaelfonary. It only aimed at et-
foctieg social rolorme.
Ono of the bills provides for a mod-
Iflcation of the Penal Code, with
the object of affording a surer gear -
an tee for the personal freedom of
labor, and preventing State officiate
or persons engaged In occupations
affecting public interests front ab -
seating themselves from their duties.
