London, Nov. 13.—Dissolution of
parliament before the coming week
end was forecast by Prime Minister
Baldwin at the opening of the new
s. ssiun today, lie announced he had
advised the crown to dissolve parlia
ment as quickly as possible and he
did not see why the date should not
be next Friday.
The premier made a brief statement,
in which he said a general election
was always a disturbing element and
should he got through with as quick
]y i»a possible. t
Mr. Baldwin said in substance he
was thoroughly convinced protective
tariffs were necessary in order to solve
the unemployment problem.
The Aoqulth and Lloyd George fac
tions of tile liberal party sank their
differences this morning and reunited
to present a solid front against the
conservative protectionists as well as
the labor party in the election.
The reconciliation was effected at a
meeting of former Premiers Asquith
and Lloyd George, Sir Alfred Mojid
and Sir John Simon. Arrangements
were made for a united campaign by
all the liberals.
There had been a great element of
doubt as to whether the two bitter
political antagonists, Asquith and
Lloyd George could be brought to
gather. Therefore the announcement
of the reunion furnished a sensation.
Ramsay MacDonald, leader of the
laborite opposition, told a meeting of
the parliamentary labor party and na
tional labor executives today that
Prime Minister Baldwin had informed
1m}. of his intention of appealing to
mio country on a policy of unadulter
ated protection.
The Evening News states that Mr.
Asquith will lead the reunited party.
It Is recalled that Mr. Lloyd George,
in answering interviewers when lie
landed at Southampton from his
American visit last week, said be
would work with anybody who would
serve the country faithfully.

Lincoln Shaken
by Explosion
Lincoln, Nov. 13.—Four employes
of the Idncoln Traction company
narrowly escaped serious injury here
Monday when the injection tank of a
diesel oil engine exploded. The force
of the explosion was so great that
the business district of Lincoln was
shaken and fragments of caatlrOn
were hurled 100 feet across the trac
tion company's power room.
The tank, which is 10 inches in
diameter, 15 feet high and con
structed of three-eighths-ineh iron,
contains compressed air under a pres
sure of 950 pounds ptr square inch.
The released pressure, which filled the
air with' flying iron, broke out every
window in the building, with a rever
beration that could be heard for half
a mile.
Mellon Tax Cut
Plan Faces Snajz
Reductions Include Assault
on \ank Bonus to Which
Many Solons Pledged.
By International \i>w, Service.
Washington, Nov. 13.—Decreases In
costs from building materials to food
and clothing will follow lower taxes
on incomes, government tax experts
predicted today.
Secretary Mellon attributes the
present high cost of living in no
small measures to f>ig taxes on big
incomes, which have driven wealth
front the field of productive enter
prise info tax-free securities and other
nonproductive fields. Dower the sur
taxes, he believes, and this will be
drawn from its hiding places.
While approval has been voiced by
returning congressmen over plans for
reducing income tuxes, it neverthe
less became apparent today that con
gress is going to view the Mellon
plan with some suspicion. The Mel
lon program is recognized as his lirst
assault on the soldiers' bonus, to
which a great majority of both house
and senate are pledged.
Secretary Mellon’s whole scheme of
tax reduction is based on congress
not passing the bonus. It will not be
possible, he contends, to both redoce
the taxes and pay the bonus. Thus
many congressmen are going to Vie
caught In an embarrassing position—
they are pledged to both reduce taxes,
if isissible, and they are also pledged
to the bonus.
Mellon, however, is going ahead
with his tax-reducing plan, stressing
the intention that lowering surtaxes
on big incomes will prove the largest
boon to business at this time.
