Ireland Conscript Clause Rejected in Commons Debate
London April 13 Irish Nationalists failed to remove the conscription of Ireland clause from the government manpower bill by a 172 vote margin. Asquith urged restraint amid a grave military crisis while Bonar Law defended government actions. Irish benches interrupted the debate as Labour and Unionists pressed for immediate home rule before conscription. Clerical calls for passive resistance rose as conscription fears spur some volunteers, with shipyard workers in Derry enlisting.
