. LABOR GOVERNMENT - WITHSTANDS ATTACK Liberals Rally to Support of Ad- ministration When Opponents Assail Policy. UNEMPLOYMENT' PLANS EIT _ Salary Cut Proposal for Minister Is Finally Talked Out. “ By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, May 23.—Labor's ship of - state salled along in calmer waters today, having successfully withstood - another parliamentary storm, the ap- proach of which has caused the po- litical lookouts to predict disaster. The administration's unemployment rolicy was chosen by its opponents , In the'conservative ranks as a vul- nerable point, and the question was brought up on a technical motion to . reduce the salary of the minister of labor, Tom Shaw, by £100. The mo- tion was finally talked out last right. The failure of theg government's op- ponents was agaln due to the atti- tude of the Liberals, who, though ex- ercised over the methods followed by Labor campalgners in some of thelr constituencies, nevertheless hesitate to line up against the Labor ministry on any motion involving the possi- bility of its defeat. The Laborites, aithough retained in power by the grace of the two oppo- sitlon partles, apparently have no such scruples about brniging about an- other general election, as their spokesman, Miss Margaret Bondfleld, parliamentary secretary of the min- istry of labor, proclaimed that Labor -~ was not afraid to go to the country on its complete program. e Rich Silver Vein Found.

Welfare Legislation Com- mittee Plans Tentative Draft. In revising the Juvenile Court law the commission on public welfare legislation will so word the act that non-support cases will be placed within the jurisdiction of that tri- bunal. This was decided upon at a conference of the commission yester- day afternoon, at which the tentative draft of the revised law was gone over. The commission will meet again Tuesday to complete the task. As enacted by Congress, the exist- ing law gave the Juvenile Court au- thority to handle non-support cases, but a year or more ago the Supreme Court” decided that a man could not be tried for an offense involving infamous punishment unless he had been indicted by the grand jury. The commission proposes to eliminate the words “hard labor” from the penalty clause of the law, which, it is be- lieved, will clear up the question of Jurisdiction. Author, 84, Takes Second Bride.
