THE ARMY BILL.
A SOCIALISTIC PROPOSAL,
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, April 11.
In the House of Commons, during a discussion on the Army Annual Bill, Mr. Keir Hardie moved an amendment to the effect that a recruit should have the right, under contract, to refuse to assist the civil power during trade disputes. He stated that many youths were not enlisting because they might have to fire on their relatives and comrades. It was cruel that lads, as soldiers, should believe that they were engaged to shoot strikers.
