RADICAL KNOCKS GEORGE GOVERNMENT; LAW HURLS CHALLENGE AT OPPOSITION Declares Premier Has Fallen Oown on Promises Regarding Production of Beer and . - 1 Ships. . 1 (By Associated Frew.) Lbndou," Feb. l4.-A amendment proposed by Richard Holt, radical, , expressing regret that "in accordance with the decisions of the supreme war council at Versailles, prosecution, of the military effort is to be the only immediate task of the government," wag rejected by a vote of 159 to 28. The minority was composed mainly of pacifists. Lord Hugh Cecil had declared that the adoption of the amendment wouJd involve the resignation of the govern ment, f i Criticism of the government's hand ling of home affairs was .voiced by Herbert Samuel, the former home sec retary. . ' . Mr.. Holt, in moving his amend ment, asked the government whether Mr. Wilson's four propositions as a basis of reconstruction represented the policy of the British government and its European allies. k If the answer to both these ques tions was in the affirmative, he de clared, it was the duty of the govern ment to reassemble vthe conference at Versailles or elsewhere and to make a clear ; and specific announcement jointly and separately to that effect. That would go a long way towards shortening the terrible trials confront ing Europe. , . Regarding man power, : hev said Qreat' Britain stood in virtually the ' same position as she did in Decem ber, 1916. With respect to food, the government had a somewhat bet ter record, but he asserted the in creased production of food was only 4 per cent net, of which 3 per cent . related to Ireland, - HUs Food Control. The situation as to food control, he .declared, was very far from satis factory and, every one knew ofMhe extreme shortage of meat, butter, margarine and other products. Fur ther, the promises of the premier as tquship building in lTdid not square with the results. There was only half of the increase estimated by the shipping controller, and only one third of that estimated by the pre mier. , Similarly the production, of iron , stone, on which the steel supplies de pended, had increased in the first four weeks of this year1 by ,only 84,000 tons, which would- be equivalent to 1,000,000 tons for the year, instead of 4,000,000 tons as promised by the pre mier, v ' -x Kick on Beer Production. Another complaint was the prodirc tion of beer. The .actual production had been lS.SOCOOO, barrels, whereas the premier had said it would be re duced to 10,000,000 barrels. The last subject on which he wished to criticise the policy of the govern ' ment was finance. During the last 14 months there had been an increase r in - the daily national expenditure of 2,000,000 pounds, pr an increase of 40 per cent. , Mr. Samuels said it was clear that - the nresenfsvstetn of the rovernment was not working to the best advan tage. They had six" wary men, ex hausted with labor, endeavoring every ' dax to catch up with ever-accumulat- - ing arrears of work. After 14 months, it could not be said that the vvar cab inet had proved successful. He sug gested a small council consisting of the heads of departments concerned witlvthe conduct of the war, and a home council, consisting of the heads qf the departments concerned with home administration.- v ' He gave the fullest support to the war aims as stated by the premier to the labor conference, and said it was because he cared intensely about win ning the' war that he had spoken to- day. i - Twenty-Five Thousand Dollar Fire Loss at Imperial Imperial, Neb., Feb. 14.

(Br Associated rress.) London, Feb. 14. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer and government leader in the House of Commons, replying to criticisms of the government with respect to its home policy said that in 1917 the na tional service department had put into the army 820,645 additional men and placed in employment at home 731,000 men and 804,000 women. Referring to the food production, he said that the cereals produced in England in 1917 amounted to 850, 000 tons, and in addition, the country had produced an extra 3,000,000 tons of potatoes. - v England, .said the chancellor, was the only country in the war where there had not been a dimunition in food production. A million additional acres were being put under the plow. This year 800,000 acres more had been cultivated in England and 400, 000 more in Scotland and Ireland. The total stocks of wheat in Great Britain at the end of December, 1917, exceeded those at the end of De cember, 1916, by 1,000,000 quarters. Tonnage All There. In 1917 there was built in Great Britain 1,163,474 tons of shipping and 170,000 tons were obtained from abroad. The chancellor explained that the premier's estimate of , ship construction was not realized because the government had arranged to have a large quantity -of tonnage built ia America, but when Amerita canre into-the war she preferred, as the British would have preferred, to take the tonnage herself. But the tonnage was there. ' Emphasizing the value of the ship ping controller's work, Mr. Bonar Law said tha'. jn spite of the diminu tion in ships and in spit of the fact that Great Britain had lent 1,500.000 gross tons for' the use of her allies, in September, October and November the nation had actually imported the same amount as had been imported from February to April. , Should Spend Less. It ha&been suggested, said the chancellor, that because America had entered the war Geat Britain ought to have spent less. America had given great help not only to Great Britain's allies, but to Britain herself, for which Britain could not be too grateful. But the pressure on the allies, owing to the long continuance of the war had made the burden very great and. he was glad to say that this country had been able to give no less assistance to some" of her allies because of the assistancejf America. . . Defy to Critics. Mr. Bonar Law defended the pres-v ent system ot tne government, point ing out that the war cabinet idea had been adopted by. all the belligerents. He repeated Premier Lloyd George's challenge that if the House of Com mons did not have confidence in the government it ought to get a govern ment which would carry on the work better than the present government. But until the House did this it was the duty of the members to avoid any lticism which, would only be damag ing. "I have no more interest in this prime minister than I nad in the last,' declared Mr. Bonar Law, "and I wish to see fair play for both. But I would rather see at the head of tfie govern ment a man who makes the mistake of being over-sanguine and over-buoyant than a man who suffers from pes simism." Soldier Stabbed to Death In Row at Camp Logan Houston, Tex., Feb. 14. Ralph M.

S.Food Conservation I (By Associated Frees.) ( London, Feb. , 14. Sir William Goode, who since the intry of the United States into the war has oc cupied . the important post of liason officer between the British food ministry and the United States food administration, dis cussed the present food situation in an address today to the Lendon Rotary club. v. "Few people," said Sir William, "have- grasned the fundamental fact that 'Great Britain still relies on the United States and Canada for "65 per cent of her essential foodstuffs. As to how we get .food, the popular idea' seems to be that the United States is an up-to-date combination of miracle loaves and fishes and the widow's crust. "Early last month we received from Mr. Hoover a cablegram savinsr he found that as a result of the American Conservation cam paign he had 150,000,000 pounds of bacon and 25,000,000 pounds of frozen meat more than the British representatives in the United States had estimated as likely to be available. , "Later on it turned out that the amount of frozen meat available was thousands of tons above the Hoover estimate. Except for the hold up of shipping in American ports dae to congestion on the railways and blizzards our bacon 'and meat shortage would long since have been eased by these shipments which represent only a small percentage of the total sacri fices of the American people." Those Who Report Violations ot . Food Rules Mast Back Up Charge People, who report to the food ad ministration violations of the food regulations must be willing to stand back of their charge, or the food ad ministration will be unable to accom plish anything in the case. State Food Administrator Wattles says tnany complaints are reaching him against retailers who are charged with violating the regulations in one way and another, but that in a great many. cases the person complaining is unwilling to be put on record with his charge. . "Thus if we go to the retailer and he denies tne charge we have nothing further to work with un DECENT LIVING IMPOSSIBLE ON WAGES PAID BY PACKERS "Back of Yards" Employes Testfiy to Inability toMake Ends Meet on Salaries Received; Catholic Priest 3ays Housing Conditions Are Deplorable. (flv Aunrlated Free.) Chicago, eb. 14. Living conditions in the stock yards district in the neighborhood known as "back of the yards" were the subject of much testimony in the meat packers', wage arbi- l ! L-f r.J 1 I.. J C A 1.-L..1 AJ., V - .r i. m i i - .1 Mrs, itosaue BODecK, a wiaow or itn aays ana me momer of three children, said her husband had worked for Wilson & Co. in the Chicago stock yards His earnings, she said, never Fad been as much as $20 until the week be fore he died, when he worked 80 ours and received $23. He was a truckman at the time of his death. When her children had measles he did not have money enough to have a doctor, and when her husband died she had to rely on friends to pay his funeral expenses.' In answer to questions by Attorney Frank P. Walsh, she said she never at tended a theater, moving picture show, a picnic or other form of amusement. She declared she never even went for street car rides to public parks be cause she could not afford it. Mrs. Anna C. McQuillan, whose husband is at present an organizer for the American Federation of Labor, but formerly worked in the stock yards as a lard inspector for $110 a month, testified that she never was able, to live decently with her three children on her husband's salary. . , Cays Salary Inadequate. She reada 'statement of the living expenses of a famify of five prepared by an official of one of the stock yards' labor unions. It totalled $1,288.84 or the year, and after inspecting it care'j fully the witness said' no family of fia could live decently on that sum under the present high cost of living. It al lowed $20 a month for rent; $60 for fuel and $50 to clothe the mother and children. , ' No Allowance for Doctor. She said the estimate made no al lowance for doctors' bills, the educa tion of the children or for the upkeep of the home. Attorney Walsh said the average wages of a stock yards employe at 27i cents an hour, working every day, would be $825.50. 1 Rev. Louis W. Grudzinski, pastor of St. John's Roman Catholic church, one of the largest parishes in "back of the yards," expressed the opinion that, the members of his church em ployed in the stock yards were under paid and their children under-nourished. The average family, he said, consisted of six or seven children and it was impossible on the wages re ceived to provide proper food a"hd clothing. He said the housing (Condi tions in -the district were deplorable. Many of the families of employes who had gone to war were in need. ,! Welfare Work "Deplorable. On cross" examination the, witness said he had inspected the different plants in the stock yards and had noted the welfare work being done by the firms. He found the women em ployes provided, with lockers, rest rooms with nurses, and physicians in attendance, and lunch rooms where mea!s were served at reasonable prices. There was also an emergency hospital. , - Agnes Nestor, president of the Na tional Women's Trade Union Leagues and the only woman member of the advisory council named by Secretary of Labor Wilson, made a plea for an eight-hour day and equal pay for men and women performing the same Work. She said the minimum pay for men at the stock yards was 27 cents an hour, while the minimum wage for women was 20 cents an hour. She declared this discrimination uji just. "At this time when w6men are enteJihR so many new branches of industry because of the war, it is all the more important that women do ing men's work receive men's pay," said the witness.

"I realize that the housewives jn this matter are largely the police force of the foovl administration. It is upu them we must depend for evidence in cases rf violations of the rules by the grocers and npless they come to us with something tangible and are willing to tell what they know we cannot correct the evil. We are glad to receiv. any complaints of viola tions, but the person complaining must stand back of his or her re port." , x A r . j j .1 i for several years. U. S. FLIERS WIN HIGH HONORS FOR DARING EXPLOIT Youth" of 19 Years Brings Down Two Planes; Receive Prize Money and Ten Days' Leave. J (By Amoclatfd FrrM.) Paris, Feb. 14. Corporal Thomasl Hitchcock ot Long Island, N. x., ana W- A. Wellman of Cambridge, Mass., American aviators in French esca drilles, have been awarded $100 prize money each by the Lafayette', flying corps committee in recognition of their brilliant exploits in bringing down three German machines in the past six weeks. Hitchcock accounted for two and Wellman for one. . These avrators have been awarded by the French war cross with -palms and granted a special ten days' leave in- Paris. 4 Corporal Hitchcock, who celebrated, his 19th birthday this week, has just made application for'a commis sion in the flying corps of the Amer ican army, for which he had been previously ineligible because of under age. '' : ' . . Wellman, who is 26 years of age, had be,en rejected by the American forces on physical grounds, although he is now considered one of the best and, most fearless American fliew at the front. Hitchcock brought down his first enemy machine1 January 5. He was flying 20 kilometers behind the German lines when he sighted a large German biplane at a height of 5,000 yards. Climbing above ,the un suspecting enemy machine, Hftch cock swooped down updn it, pouring several rounds of machine gun bul lets into the German plane, which quivered an instant and then started falling in a nose dive. a Hitchcock followed the .machine to within a few hundred yards from the ground, keeping up his machine gun fire until the German crashed to earth. He was immediately attacked by anti-aircraft guns and pursued by other planes, but reached his own lines in safety. A week later Well man and Hitchcock together brought down another German machine. During the first'week of February, Hitchcock and Wellman again jointly attacked a German machine several kilometers behind. the German lines and fired several rounds of machine bullets at it, but appatently without doing any damage. Both aviators followed the German -machine to its home field. The enemy aviator was killed by bullets from the- American guns as he stepped out of his . ma chine. ' ' Wellman narrowly. escaped death in January, when he'flew over Lens and dropped a German , translation of President Wilson's message to con gress into first and second line enemy trenches. He encountered motor trou ble during his trip and was attacked by anti-aireraft and machine guns, but succeeded in getting back to his base. His airplane was riddled with bullets. Both Hitchcock and Wellman have teen flying less than, six months on the actual battle front. . British Xine Extended. Ottawa, Ontario, ' Feb. 14.

General Pershing has' recommended to the War department that the rihmber of chaplains in the army -be in creased for the war to an average, of three for each regiment, with an additional number assigned in order to be available for such de tached duty as may be required. 1 ' While the conduct of the expedi- J tio..ary forces has been excellent, the general said, fortitude born of great courage and lofty spiritual.' ideals is required to overcame en tirely conditions found in France, and it is his desire to surround the men with the best influences pos-. sible. It is. his purpose, he added, to give the chaplain corps definite and responsible status and to out line, direct and enlarge their work into co-operative and useful aid to the troops.
