At Bahcock’s Y | THREE LABORITES RESIGN MINISTRY Quit as Result of Hostility to British Compulsion Bill Londg., Jan. 7.—Organized labor cf Great Britain, sitting in congress in London yesterday, decided against the government’s compulsion bill by the overwhelming majority of 1,998,000 vtes to 783,000. Hostility to the government’s meas> vre was uncompromising and resulted in the resignation from the coalition ministry of all three labor members, Arthur Henderson. William Brace and George H. Roberts, holding re- spectively the offices of president of the board of education, parliamentary under secretary for home affairs and lord commissioner of the treasury. Their resignations were announced during the evening. More Than 1,000 Delegates. The labor congress was in many ways the most important body of the kind ever assembled. More than one thousand delegates were present, rep- resenting four hundred unions and three million workers. In addition to the formal vote against the government’s compulsion bill, the congress rejected by four to one a motion pledging support by the reople of the compulsion act for single men and passed, by two to one, an- other motion directing the labor party to oppose the bill in all its stages in the house of commons. “The Red Flag” Sung. The congress closed with an en- thusiastic scene, the feature of which was the singing of the soeialist an- them “The Red Flag” by some of the delegates. The delegates met in the so-called central hall, a large new building erected by the Weslevan Methodist churches opposite W minister Ab- bey, a stone’s throw from the par- liament buildings, as the denomina- tion’s national headquarters. Ths proceedings of the situation, followed by the introduction of the official reso- lution which was moderate in tone the substance of it being that the labor members of the, house of com- mons should be left free to vote as they saw fit on the question of com- pulsion. Some sections of the audience were inclined to be ' restive during these formalities, and when later, there came a suecession of impassioned orations against compulsion, the op- position which at first had been aud- ible only in interjections and mur- murings, gradually hardened and there were loud demonstrations from every part of the hall. Anti-Compulsion Speech. One of the early speakers, James Henry Thomas, assistant general sec- retary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, kindled his hearers to fierce enthusiasm. His was an out-and-out anti-compulsion | speech, appealing to the trade unions Last Call!| FOR REAL BARGAINS 1-4 Off 1-3 Oft 1-2 Off Suits, Overcoats, Furnishings, Hats - Don’t Miss This Sale E. G. Babcock Co. “not to sell their heritage of freedom.” A speech by Arthur Henderson, president of the board of education, came as a sedative to the passionate : teelings aroused by the earlier speak- ers, He spoke calmly and logically, defending not merely the resolution before the meeting, but also the com- pulsion bill itself. But his effort was insufficient to turn the tide of oppo- sition and it was a foregone conclusion when the vote finally was reached that the resolution would fall. 409 Societies Voted. With the exception of the Miners’ Federation, which refused to partici- pate, owing to internal difference with the joint board, virtually every im- portant trade union in the country was represented in the congress. The number of societies voting is given from one source as 409, made up as follows: Trade unions, 331; trade councils and local labor parties, 83; independent labor party organiza- tions, 165. Col. John Ward, M. P., who calls himself an “Independent laborite” and is one of the picturesque figures of the house of commons, declared in the house tonight that the decision of the labor congress could not be regarded as actually representing the will of the labor men of the country. Some in the Trenches. “For,” said he, “you must consider the fact that certainly from one-half to one-third of the members of trade organizations, which met in congress, are either in the trenches or preparing to take their places there. I, for one, have done my best in the post to op- pose conscription, but I never con- templated the circumstances which have now arisen, and, I, in com- mon with many other thinking labor men, will support this compulsion bill. “The nation is looking to the house of commons for its lead—not only the nation, but the whole empire, Almost the whole world is waiting for our decision at the crigis of the world’s ! history.” Resignations Are Regretted. The resignation of Arthur Hender- son and his two minor labor collea-~ gues from the coalition ministry was recelved with regret in the lobbies. The members concerned will remain in the labor party and retain their seats in parliament. When questioned regarding a sug- gestion concerning Kis resignation from pariament made in his speech before the labor congress, Mr. Hender- son said that he there stated that he would resign his seat if he were def- initey bound by the vote of the dele- gates to certain action in the house. He has not been so bound and there is no reason for him to resign and seek re-election, he said, adding: “I am a supporter of the bill and shall vote for it on every possible oc- casion "’ Ten Support Bill.

A. BLAKE REMEMBERED. John A. Blake, who recently re- tired as manager of the Boston store, was the guest last night of the clerks at a banquet. On behalf of the sales force, Joseph Remis presented a purse of gold to Mr. Blake with ex- pressions of regret at his leaving, and wishing him well for the future. Mr. Plake made a feeling response. At 7:30 o'clock last evening the fire department was called out by an alarm from box 37 at the corner of Broad and Beaver streets. There was a lively blaze in the cellar of Mary ‘Wisk’s house but there was little damage. “MOTHER” TO FORTY CHILDREN IN CHIL- DREN’S HOME, SAYS THEY OWE GOOD HEALTH TO FATHER JOHN'S MEDIGINE “I have 40 or 50 children here at the children's home constantly.
