PERIL TO BRTAIN FROM LABOR UNREST (Continued from Page One) shillings on a ton of a commodity like coal, he added, might deprive the country of hundreds of millions of pounds and might throw hundreds of thousands out of work. As Dangerous As War. William Adamson, leader of the Labor party in House of Commons, speaking today on the Industrial situation, said that it was almost as menacing and dangerous as war itself.

He said that the principal labor amendment to the reply to the address from the throne would relate to the causes of Industrial unrest. "I hope." he continued, "that no attempts will be made to disappoint the legitimate expectations of the working people. All sections of the people should understand that we have reached the stage when we have laid the cards on the table and when the working classes will refuse longer to be treated as cogs In a machine for mere profit making purposes." Mr. Adamson said he regretted that no mention had been made In the king's speech concerning pensions or of the disposal of government ship yards, factories and other properties on which millions had been spent or. of Russia.

Mr. Adamson said he spoke for the party of constitutional laborites. In referring to a suggestion that the present unrest had been caused by a revolutionary group, he said his group never would encourage revolution or unconstitutional action. The revlutlonary elements, the labor leader said, would exercise little influence unless there were genuine grievances which they could exploit. Unfortunately, he said there were many grievances concerning wages and hours of employment and fear of more unemployment as well as a fear that the government was encouraging monopolies which would make the cost of living Impossible.

Mr. Adamson further asked for. statements regarding conscription and for the submission to parliament of the final peace terms before they are ratified.

Representative Frederick C.

Ehr hardt, of the Third Lackawanna dls. trict, declared today that he has had several meetings with Pittsburgh members relative to the proposed changes. He said that he had several Ideas to advan.ee along lines that would mean a change in Scranton's councilmanic system. He Zhrhardt's Plan. "I believe that the: council should have more work to do.

One of my ideas is for council to not only be a legislative body but also an administrative one. that is, each councilman being the herd of some department of the city administration. This would be a sort of commission form of gov. ernment and could be accomplished by amendments to the present law. "iou know Reading is a third class city at present, but they have sufficient population to entitle them to be a second.class city.

At present the commission form of government is in vogue in Reading, and the members from Reading declare it to be not only cheaper from the taxpayers' standpoint, but also a most efficient form. "Now these Reading representatives told myself and several Pittsburgh men that they would not care to become a second class city, If it would not be possible to retain some of the forms of government peculiar to third class cities, namely, the commission plan. "Here is Where I believe Scranton would benefit, if an amendment could be put through classifying second class cities into say, class A and B. riHaburgh to be under the class A plan, its present council system or one of the plans put forward by the Pittsburgh leaders to be adopted, while Scranton and Reading would come un. der the class plan, and have a jrt of commission form of government.

So Wot Expect legislation. "However, as things stand now, I don't believe that much legislation tending to disturb present systems in Pittsburgh will be put forward, and a a result Scranton will, in all probability, remain as it is in regards to it. council system. However, the fu tu. may bring some unexpected hap nings." Mr.

Ehrhardt explained that his idea wa3 to have councilmen at the head of the department of public works, p. lie safety, public health and department finance and make the mryor directing head of the public safety department, the fire and police de irtments. When Mr. Ehrhardt Was questioned as to whether or not his ideas were also thoughts of Scranton citizens or a body of citizens, he declared that "It is only my own idea on the matter." One thing, however, Is assured, it is said here, the Pittsburgh council will remain as it Is. Senator Leslie, The Wonder of the Age Electricity is within your reach.
