Laborite Who Proposed
to Cut Duke's Allowance
Howled Down in Commons
Dondon, Feb. IS.—VP)—The house
of commons was plunged Into an up
roar this afternoon as a, result of tho
suggestion by ifavid Kirkwood, labor

pounds which tho Duke of York will
receive when he marries I.ady liliza
beth Bower-Lyon in April.
The duke is now allowed 10,000
pounds a year, but the chancellor of
the exchequer informed Mr. Kirk
wood that this sum would bo In
creased to 25,000 pounds under an act
passed by the commons.
The laborite then asked whether it
was not the case that the government
desired to economize and that the i
wages of the working classes had!
been reduced. _

cries for order and a general uproar
in which Kirkwood shouted that this !
wits a glorious opportunity to start j
ccTSiomlzing at the top, while the'
labor class was starving. He tried to 1
make further remarks, but was I
