When Sir James was appointed lord chancellor in succession to^?ir Ignatius John O'Brien last June, it was believed that the action of the government meant a complete reversal of the Irish policy. His speech, however, proves that he is a convert to home rule, according to liberal commentators.

said, very few cases would ocour where the men would refuse to work pending adjustment by thf war labor board. If the men should refuse to work, he said the existing draft regulations could be invoked and that further legislation is unnecessary.

Representative Harrison, of Virginia, called attention to Secretary Baker's statement denying that the senate amendment is a labor conscription law, but Mr. Morrison insisted that it would be conscription and would be used as such by unfair employers. Representative Harrison declared if reasons for exemption of workmen ceases to exist they should return to their original draft status and in the argument that followed so many members of the committee joined that Chairman Dent urged them to permit Mr. Morrison to conclude and postpone their arguments until the committee met in executive session. "It is conscription poorly camouflaged," Representative Lunn, of New York, interjected while in a lively exchange between other members and Mr. Morrison. Representative Nicholls, of South Carolina, declared that most men are drafted to light, and that the exempted workmen would be forced to tight only when they would not work.

Representative Greene of Vermont, observed that men drafted to fight cannot strike, while workmen exempted propose to reserve the right to strike for higher wages. Secretary Morrison rep^ed that profiteers often do not pay enough to their workmen, and Representative^Green retorted that deserters from the army are shot.

After the hearing, contmitteemen predicted that the bill wopld be reported shortly substantially as submitted by the war department and without a "work or fight" amendment. Representative Mann told the committee there was not the slightest danger of education of youths being stopped by lowering the draft age. Intensive education of young men drafted is planned, he explained, by. expansion of present, army schools, combining scholastic and military education.

WILL KEEP WORKING.

Coal Miners Will Step On Job Pending Conference. INTVTA'N'APOLIS. Ind., Aug. 20.— Fending the outcome of negotiations in Washington, beginning next Thursday morning, between international ad district officials of the United Mine Workers of America and Dr. H. A. Garfield, federal fuel administrator, on the questions arising from the payment of bonuses by some coal operators, all coal miners are urged to remain at work and be patient, in a circular issued from the international headquarters of the union in this city.

Issuance of the circular was announced today by Frank J. Hayes, international president of the organization, just before he, Vice President John L. Lewis and Secretary William Green departed for Washington. "We have notified all our members," said President Hayes, "to remain on the job and do everything possible to continue to get out a maximum output of coal. This we know they will do, and production will continue to increase if an adequate car supply is furnished. The miners are loyally and patriotically doing their part to win the war, and I am sure there will be no cessation of work anywhere pendinging the outcome of our conference with Dr. Garfield. "Our only purpose in holding this conference is to endeavor to rectify the upsetting evils growing out of the payment of bonuses that have developed in the industry during the past few months."

Pay For Deception

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Deceptive arguments used in the past by the German junkers to mislead the people are summarized by the Hamburg Echo in its issue of August 12 with the comment: "The German people are now paying for all this."

A state department dispatch today quotes the German paper as saying: "Events of the last week have a deep significance for the nation and its rulers. The following pan-German arguments deceive themselves and others: 'The Americans ar® bluffing and will never declare war.J 'That if war is declared, America is arming itself against Japan and will not send soldiers to Europe.' "That the submarine would sink the troops.' 'That the submarine would blockade France.' 'That England would be starved out by the submarine.' "That Germany's firm attitude toward the United States would bring the neutrals to her side.'
