At Pier 40, Fast River, where freight
is received for the company, one Of the
men In charge said. Freight is received
here subject to delay. There is practically
nothing doing as far as freight coming
from Boston Is concerned. The men I
believe are not organized and would not
hold together in a sympathetic strike
They did not 60 out when the strike took
place at Mott Haven, and there was more

Special Cable Dsspotehe, 10 THE SUN.
LONDON. March l3.-During the debate
on the civil service estimates In the House
Of Commons this afternoon, Mr.. John Red
mond, the Irish Nationalist leader, moved
hat the salary OF the Chief Secretary for
Ireland be reduced by Gi0o. On this motion
Mr.. Redmond proceeded to initiate a dis
cussion on the state OF Ireland. He said
the present situation in that country was
grave, but he contended that 1t was not due
TO a recrudescence of crime. but to the re-
vival OF coercion by the Government.
He declared that Chief Secretary wynd-
ham was being driven into the extreme
landlord faction by the Marquis Of London
derry and Lord Ardilaun, and urged him
to resist and retrace his steps In the interest
Of Ireland.
Mr.. Wyndham, in reply. repudiated the
notion that he was being driven by any
body. and declared that he accepted full
responsibility for the acts of the Irish
Executive.
Mr.. Redmond complained that there
was a conspiracy to misrepresent the con-
dition Of the country as lawless in order
TO give some color Of justification for the
use OF %coercive measures. He said hat
20 far from that being the state OF things
Ireland had not been so quiet and peaceful
in a hundred years. No abnormal amount
Of crime existed. and although there was
agrarian discomfort and some boycotting
there was nothing to justify repressive
measures.
DUBLIN. March 13.-The Conservative
and Unionist-Irish newspapers deplore
the abandonment OF the visit of the King

Of the Irish people. The Express con-
siders that II is a direct result Of the policy
Of killing with kindness. The Irish Times
blames the newspapers for not making II
clear how welcome tie King would be IL
he visited the country.
The Nationalist Freemdn's Journal calls
the form Of the announcement made last
night strange and startling, IL not abao-
lutely unprecedented. The paper ascrihes
the veto Of the Ministers on the visit to a
fear that tho King would notice the bar
barous methods of the Castle authorities
and the deep resentment Of the people
thereto.
