TO CHANGE ENGLAND'S ' WAYS
House of Lords is Prepared to Revolu
tionize Parliamentary Plan.
London , March 10. When Lord 1
Roseberry on Monday launches his
plan for the reformation of the house
of lords he will present a set of three
resolutions embodying in general 1
terms the course which the peers pro '
pose to follow In modernizing them
selves.
As Lord Roseberry has been in con-
sultatlon with a majority of the mem
bers of the upper house there is little
question the resolutions represent the
general views of the lords on the sub '
ject of reorganization.
The first resolution will affirm the
necessity for a strong and efficient
second chamber for the wellbelng of
the state. The second will set fo'rth
that such a chamber will be best ob "
tainable by the reform and reconstltu- '
tlon of the house of lords. The third
will declare that a necessary prelim '
inary to such reform and reconstltu- '
tlon is the acceptance of the principle
that the possession of a peerage in itself
1
self should no longer afford the right
to sit and vote In the house of lords.
THE PAPER MILLS STRIKE.
Two Plants Involved In a Labor Conflict i.
flict Strikebreakers Arrive.
Corinth , N. Y. , March 10. Nine
mned strikebreakers brought bore by
ho International Paper company were
rrested last night by the village po-
lice charged with carrying concealed
weapons , and locked up. There Is I1
general belief that any attempt to lui- ,
port strikebreakers on a largo scale
will be bitterly resented and will be
sure to provoke trouble.
Twice yesterday afternoon dynamite
cartridges were exploded under a rail [
road bridge over which strike break-1 :
ors must pass to enter Corinth. The'
damage was slight , owing to scant
knowledge of how to handle dyna
mite , and the damage has been re i-
paired and the bridge Is under guard
by militia.

hundred union men walked out of the
South Glens Falls mills of the Interna

Provisions and bedding are being
taken Into the mills and officers of the

estimated at 10,000 persons went to
the National League baseball club park
this afternoon , despite the announce
ment of the authorities that a mass
meeting called by the general strike
| committee would not bo permitted.
, There was no disorder of any kind.
,
| Philadelphia , March 10. Encourag
ed by the success which met their ef
forts yesterday In breaking Into the
' i ranks of unorganized labor and per-
suadlng several thousand workers in
this city to Join the general strike
: movement , union labor leaders con
tinued their campaign today to swell
the army of sympathizing strikers.
Baldwin's Locomotive works , where
2,000 men quit yesterday and which
was considered Impregnable against
the attack of unionism , was again the
object of much attention by the union
men and they hope to add to the ranks
of idle men before the close of the day.
I The success in penetrating the Baldwin -
win works is likely to lead to a cam-
palgn against other large Industrial
plants which are considered "open
shops. "
The committee of ton of the "Cen
tral Labor union , which is conducting
the general strike , has given out fig
ures to support its claim that between
123,000 and 150,000 persons are idle.
It announced that the total number of
men , women and boys and girls on
strike up to last night was 139,700.
The committee gave out the following
approximate figures :
The People on Strike.
Building trades 40,000 , metal trades
L120,000 , textile trades 30,000 , garment
workers ( men's wear ) 10,000 , garment
workers ( women's wear ) 9,000.
Miscellaneous trades : Asbestos
workers 105 , cloth hat and cap work
ers 210 , cigar makers 2,500 , shirt
waist and laundry workers 10,000 ,
piano movers ,161 * bakers and confec
tioners 341 , pavers .and rammers 468 ,
suspender makers 211 , electrical work
ers 365 , waiters 410 , upholsterers 142 ,
street hackmen 110 , chauffeurs 150 ,
street car men 6,200 , hatters 972.
According to the labor committee
the following unafflllated workers are
on strike :
j Lawn mower makers 300 , glaziers
178 , American Hoe and Shovel company -
pany 1C1 , National Cutlery company
84 , butchers 300 , sheet metal workers 5
,500 ' , worsted weavers 1,700 , stone masons -

900 , Harrington machine company 126 ,
Newton machine shop 120 , lace cur-i
tain operators 600 , Cramps shipyard

( heater boys150. )
City Officials Dispute These Figures.
I Some of the above are disputed by
the city authorities and large em-
ployers. The Baldwin locomotive
works declare that only one-third of
the number of men the union claims '
are on strike quit work yesterday.
j ( With recruits secured from many
| [
other cities the Philadelphia Rapid 11
Transit company today operates more
[
cars than on any day since the strike
|
was declared. The few attacks made 5'
[ i , on the new crews were not serious
during the early hours and were con-
fined to the outlying sections of the
city where nearly all disturbances 5' ,
isince the strike began have occur
red.
I The general strike leaders declared ,
today that 300 additional men have 5
quit at the Baldwin locomotiveworks. .
This as usual Is discredited by the
superintendent of the works who says
only 100 have failed to report for
work today. I
I Taxlcab Drivers Break Strike. I
' There was a big break In the ranks
of the union taxicab chauffeurs who '
went out In sympathy with the trolley 'l
imen. . The three taxicab companies 3' ,
reported today that 115 out of a to-
ta. of about 275 taxicab drivers have
returned to work. The companies are
making no attempts tq fill the places 3
of the striking chauffeurs.
To the director of public safety's -
clslon that no meeting will bo allowed
to take place because It was in conflict -
flict with the proclamation issued by
the mayor forbidding all gatherings on
the streets , the strikers' attorney re-
plied that the police power could not
abolish the constitutional right of citl-
zens to peacefully assemble for a law
ful purpose.
The baseball club Is enlarging the
I
seating capacity of the park and work
on Improvements was stopped 1
when the general strike was inaugu-
rated. The management asked the
union leaders to permit the contractor
to continue his work , and the request
was granted on ono consideration , that
the strikers use the grounds for mass
meetings. This was quickly agreed to
and when the city authorities heard of
It , they declared the meeting would I
not bo permitted to go on. Counsel 1
tfor the strikers Insists that the ball '
park Is the same ao a hall as Its

TO SEE IF THEY WERE BROTHERS
A Probate Judge Compared Shoulders
and Eyes of Claimants.
Cambridge , Mass. , March 10. There
was another unusual scene in the pro
bate court today when Judge Lawton ,
who lias sat 102 days trying to deter
mine the rightful ownership of the
three-quarters million dollar estate of
the late Daniel Russell of Melrose ,
made a critical examination of the
eyes of the claimant , who says he is
Daniel Russell of Dickinson , N. D. , and
of William C. Russell , the principal
beneficiary under the will.
The claimant , who says he is a
j brother of William , removed his coat
\ ; in order to show clearly the breadth of
, his shoulders. Then Judge Lawton
called the two men to the window and
,
gazed long and earnestly Into their
eyes In order to compare them. The
Judge found certain points of resom-
blance. Shortly after his return to the
bench , the cross-examination of Will-
lam Russell closed. He had been on
i the stand more than a week.

SAYS TAFT NEEDS PRESS AGENT.
We Would Understand the President
Better Then , Asserts Prof. Rudd.
New York , March 10. President
Taft's greatest need Is an efficient ,
wide-awake press agent. This at least
is the opinion of Prof. Channlng Hudd ,
the lawyer , author and educator. In
an address before the West Sldo Y.
M. C. A. here Professor Rudd said :
"President Taft complained in 'his
Newark speech a few days ago that
the attitude of the newspapers of the
country was either ono of open hos-
.tllity or patronizing friendship , and
ho closed his address with the asser
tion that ho would return to Washington -
ington and avoid the newspapers ,
"This Is an unfortunate decision ,
for the President needs the support
of the newspapers to make his administration -
ministration a success and a help to
the nooplo. I do not say that Mr. Taft
would bo a more faithful president
if ho employed a press agent , but wo
would understand , him bettor If there
was an efficient publicity man In the
white house. "
