LIQUOR RESTRICTIONS UP
London, Tcb. 12. Premier Uoytl
Oeorge npaln ndtlressoil the House of
Commons yesterday, this time on the
question of nationalization of the coal
mines.
The subject -was introduced by Wil
liam Urnce, provident of the South
"Wnles Miners' Federation, who, in be
half of lubnr. moved an amendment to
the reply to the speech from the throne,
expressing regret for "the absence of
ny proposal to nationalize the coal
mines of the eountn alouc lines recom
mended by the majority of the members
of the Itoyal Commission on the coal
Industry, which va appointed to ad
vise the government a to the best
method of reorcnui.liiff the industry."
Premier Lloyd George, nnsweriug the
Complaint, said it would be impossible
to have nationalbattou without bu
reaucracy, and ridiculed Mr. Brace's
idea that the miners would work harder
for the state than for priuitc inter
ests. , . ,
The premier created something of a
cene bv quoting from Leon Trot&ky
to show" that the Bolshevist experiment
of nationalization in Russia had failed
and that the HoNheists had been
oblifjed to resort to conscription of
labor. This brought forth excited
shouts of "Thanks to Mur fighting."
Would Be Disastrous
i The premier said what the miners'
federation reallv wanted was full con
trol of the coal industrv. He said to
hand it oer would be dNastious to the
community and a misfortune to the
miners themselves.
Referring to the government s pro
posed bill, the premier insisted that the
government via not opposing a blank
negative to nationalization b its con
structive scheme for improving the
miniDg industry.
If any attempt was made to convince
the country by iolenee, Mr. Llod
Oeorge said, it would be a challenge to
the whole fabric of free government.
On such an is.sue. declared the premier,
"We will fight to the death."
Such action, the premie;- added,
would not be a strike for wages nud
betterment of conditions of labor, but
lot the establishment of a soviet, and
that would mean the cud of constitu
tional government.
"This nation has ever fought for lib
erty, and will fight for it again," Mr.
Xloyd George exclaimed.
Trolonged cheering followed.
x Liquor Restrictions Planned
The drink question was briefly dis
cussed in both houses of Parliament .vs
terday. Earl Curzon told the lords that
. the bill on tlm subject to be introduced
would contain provision-, for shorter
iours of sale. The experiment of state
management certainly would not ha
dropped, he said.
In the House of Commons the subject
-tras alluded to by Sir Donald MacLcan.
"The fact that America has gone dry
Is an economic fact ofthe gravest im
portance to Great Britain." he said,
adding that British expenditure for
drink absolutely staggered him. The
country spent more than 1(14.000,000
(nominally SS20, 000,0001 for drink in
3014, he said, and that expenditure in
creased Bteadilv until it was t-.i'i.uiHJ,-
. -000. ($1,205,000.0001 in 101s. while it
"was estimated that me expenditure lor
the year ending March ,11 in xt, would be
nearly 400,000,000 (S2,O0O,00O.O00K
The liquor question will be debated in
Commons this week when, according to
a lobby'report, Ladv Astor will speak on
the topic. It will not only be her maiden
speech in the House, but the first time
at woman has been heard in Parliament.
The Pall Mall Gazette says that the
measures at present contemplated are
sot calculated to rouse any great feel
ing in the country, as the government's
plans nre virtually a continuation of the
hours in effect under war restrictions.
No attempt will be made to provide
local option, but the future of this
question will depend largely on the re
mit of the v:ottish experiment this
year.

upon h dozen important proposed
amendments to the constitution, in
cluding home rule, municipal con
trolled advertising and nn excise tax on
coal, which were defeated, and a propo
sition increasing tho borrowing capacity
of municipalities, providing for a single
tax office !n cities and boroughs nnd
another opening the way for municipali
ties to lend credit to public Utilities,
propositions approved, the commission
of constitutional revision adjourned
until April C. At tbut time public
hearings will bo started and In the
meantime the tentative draft of the
constitution will be prepared and cir
culated. Much of the last day's work on the
new draft was taken up In efforts to
reconsider action already taken. A
futile effort was made to reinsert in the
section rclnting to qualifications of
voters the clause relating to possession
of n poll-tax receipt, eliminated last
month. Commissioners opnosed to no
tion taken previously in relieving Judges
fiom all political patronage tried to
block the adoption of a section permit
ting judges to name overseers of elec
tion, but the section was approved.
Another effort was made to provide
for n giaded income tax, but that was
defeated uftcr members had spoken ou
the taxes of tho present day. Attorney
General Schaffcr Bald one large stato
manufacturer had told bim that nlnety
odo cents out of every dollar of his in
como now goes out in taxes.
Tho loaning of credit to public i utili
ties, a question that had been up beforu,
was opposed by John P. Connelly and
others on the ground that It would de
lay the high-speed line development
In Philadelphia. Judge Gordon said it
was in the Interest of the city. After
Hampton L. Carson, former attorney
general, had clarified tho language tho
section went through without much op
position. Another section ndopted pro
vides that tho net indebtedness of a
municipality shall not exceed 10 per
Ccnt,of tho assessed valuations. A com
punlou section provides alternate meth
ods of 'meeting municipal indebtedness,
cither by serial or tho sinking fund
method, nnd this was adopted.
