BY AlNDRIAS o. BROiN
General Secretary Of the Sim Fein
National Council

Sim Fein pronounced Shin
Fayne) is an Irish expression
meaning ourselves alone" and it
represents exactly the designs of
the movement. We want Ireland
for ourselves alone, not only politi-
cally, but also industrially. The
industrial part of our campaign
makes Sim Fein unique. We are
making the first attempt In Ire
lands history to settle the discon-
tent and unrest in our country
along economic lines. We have
come to realize that the great NOV
ing force of the modern world is
economic, and we believe Ireland
can come to her own if there is an
industrial revival among the peo-
pie.
We put in the forefront of our
program the re-awakening of spir-
it of constructive nationalism. We
want to see factories built, and to
have Irishmen realize the necessity
of supporting home industries. We
want a general scientific survey
made of Ireland for development
purposes. We want technical
schools opened.
We want a national university
non-sectarian in spirit, neither
Catholic nor Protestant. Non
sectarianism is one of our vital
tenets.
1t may appear that we have put
home rule in the background, but
this is not so. We have simply
come to realize that the British
parliament will not grant to us the
home rule we want. The kind of
home rule England may be willing
to give us would throw ireland into
worse confusion than now exists.
If we are ever TO have home rule,
we must take it ourselves.
Irelands members Of parliament
are useless to Ireland's cause. They
cannot get satisfactory legislation
from the house of commons, and
Sim Fein believes that time has
come when they should be with
drawn. We want to set up in Dub
lin a parliament of our own, with
out England's consent, and we can
do this if we have a united nation
with us. OF course, such a parlia-
ment could rule only by moral
force, but If Ireland is in earnest
it's mandates would have all the

PRIN JERS' GREAT
Battle WON

In circular letter to the local
typographical union James M.
Lynch, president of the Internation-
al union, says the annual meeting
Of the United Typothetae of Ameri-
ca. at Niagara Falls, on September
10 and II, was attended by only
about 80 delegates and was a COM
plete failure.
President Berry, of the Interna
tional Printing Pressmen's union
appeared before the convention and
asked that the agreement with his
union be modified. The request was
refused. This may result in q
pressman strike.
President Lynch, In concluding
says:
'If any further evidence were
needed that we have won the
greatest labor battle of modern
times; that beyond preadventure
we have established the eight hour
day; that we have contributed
most materially to the universal
shorter work day, it was furnished
by the pitiful exhibition of the
United Typothetae of America in
annual session at Niagara Falls
this week"

BOYCOTT
To WIN FIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA
new and novel turn has been given
the street car strike which has
been on in this city since May 5.
The unions have abandoned the
boycott and are now urging all
union men to patronize the cars
as much as possible. 1t is design.
ed by this means to prove that the
strike breakers employed by the
company are utterly incompetent
and the equipment inadequate to
normal demands of traffic.
Unless the company Is able to
handle the crowds movement will
be commenced to secure forfeit
ture of the nited railroads fran
chise. Complaint has been constant
for months over the wretched serv-
ice of this city. In reply Pres. Cal
houn has blamed the union men for
interference with the company's
plans for improvement. However
he steadily claimed to be able to
comply with the conditions of the
franchise regardless of the unions
In consequence the unions have put
the company to the test by giving
their members free rein to patron
iZe the company.
1t Is also figured that the great
amount of work entailed on the
green carmen now employed Will
make almost any other employ
ment preferable to strike breaking

SUSPECT PUSSY
Of bUbON|C

Poor, fussy, little pussy-cats are
now suspected, with the big rats
and the frisky fleas, of spreading
the bubonic plague The local board
of health that has started a cam
paign against the rats will pay no
attention, at present, to the cat
theory because no sign of the
plague, which has hold on San
Francisco, has ever broken out
here.
The rat-killing campaign was
started because it has been found
beyond doubt that rats carry the
plague. There is some doubt
though, as to pussy. In her fight
for meat with the rats, of course If
she devours a plague-infected ro-
dent, she also bits into the plague,
but if the health Office kills off the
rats, there will be none for pussy
to devour. At least that Is the
present argument and in conse-
quence the cats will not be bother
ed. In San Francisco and other
seaports, dead cats were found in
fected with the plague.

GREAT BOOST FOR
PUGET SOUND YARD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
Secretary of the Navy Metcalf is
pleased with the navy yard, Puget
sound, and says many more men
are needed there, but the depart
ment is unable to get them owing
TO the scarcity of labor on the coast
and throughout the west. The sec
rotary said:
There is water enough about
Bremerton to accommodate not
only all our battleships, but all the
battleships In the world. There is
sufficient anchorage and the fleet
will have no difficulty in that re-
spect The part of the fleet select
cd to go there may be all battle
ships. That is a matter yet to be
decided. Bremerton is the only
dock in a government yard where
any one Of the big battleships can
be handled. There rs sufficient
water at Mare Island, but the dock
there is not large enough TO accom-.

nical education; II could cause
united action by harbor, ports and
docks boards to arrange the incl
dents of taxation to encourage for
eign shipping. 1t could send Irish
consular representation to the prin-
cipal foreign capitals to develop
trade relations.
We believe the establishment OF
a consular service for Ireland
would result in an industrial boom.
OF course, England would not rec
ognize Ireland's consuls. Their po-
sitions would be entirely unofficial,
but they would succeed in their du-
ties nevertheless, for foreign COM
mercial houses would not refuse to
listen to them simply because the
Irish people and not the British
house of commons paid their sal
aries.

SHOULD THROW
OLD CHARTER
IN RIVER

The sentiment In favor of revis-
Ing the city charter and making 1t
UP to date and practical from ey-
cry standpoint is constantly on the
increase. Men who have had to
work under the charter as public
officials are unanimous in advocat-
ing reform in this particular
City Treasurer Eggleston said
the proper thing to do with the
present charter was to throw it
into the river at the earliest OPP
portunity
"If the city charter was thrown
into the river and we had nothing
in the shape of a charter to work
under we would be better off than
at present." is the way Mr. Egg
gleston put it when discussing the
matter.
Former Mayor Byrne said he was
heartily in favor of revising the
charter. He intimated that at
present the mayor is blamed for
many things which was is unable
to prevent. DR.. Byrne said the
mayor should have the power to
remove appointive officials without
the consent of the city council, and
that the council should also have
the same right. This would tend
10 make appointive officials re-
sponsible to the elected officers and
would increase efficiency of the city
government. The doctor said a
mayor need not care so much who
was appointed to an Office provid-
ing he could remove the man at
any time. He said the city would
get pretty good service from any
holder of a public position if that
man knew he would be removed
when he was not filing the bill.
1t is generally conceded that un-
der present conditions the charter
Is useful only to politicians to
whack each other over the head. 1t
is used for club every time new
man assumes the Office of mayor.
The first thing he bumps up against
is the city charter and when he
gets through studying its various
provisions he has learned that he
is practically devoid OF power and
that every one else connected with
the city government is in just
about the same boat. 1t seemed
TO be the opinion of the trainers
of the present charter that the city
government would flow along as
peacefully as the St Joe river, anC
that the legislative executive
branches would never clash. 1t is
only when all departments are IL
complete harmony that anything
can be accomplished for the public
good.

UNIONS PREPARE FOR
FAIR LABOR DAY

1t was reported to the Central
Labor union last night that Mana.
ger Cosgrove, of the Interstate fair,
had made a donation of 5000 for
prizes to be contested for on Inter.
state fair labor day. 1t was decided
to go ahead with the celebration
and the report of the committee
was accepted. 1t was the general
sentiment that labor generally
should take an interest in the ex-
ercises if only to snow the appre-
citation of the action of the Trac-
ton Co. in extending its line to the
grounds, thus making the attend
ance of hundreds of working men
possible.
The fair management has also
placed the big tent at the fair
grounds at the disposal of the
unions for the day. The tent will
be used by the speakers who will
make addresses on that occasion.

DES MONIES, Sept. 17.-What
promises to become a nationwide
movement by the various states
against the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies is soon
to be inaugurated in Iowa by Attor-
ney General Byers.
Following close upon a similar
movement by the Michigan state
authorities, Attorney General Byers
of this state has announced his in
tention of fling suit against both
these concerns, demanding penal
Ties aggregating 100000. The
suit will be based on charges of
violation of the Iowa laws govern
ing foreign corporations. Neither

claims, has filed Incorporation pa

REVIVE v. v. P.
WARFARE

The local unions will use pickets
in an effort to influence local mem
bers of organized labor to refrain
from using w. w. P. Co. cars going
to and from the fair grounds. 1t is
argued that the action of the Trac-
ton Co in building it's line to the
grounds has removed any excuse
union men might have for patroniz-
ing the cars of the local monopoly.
The Carmen's union will make it
its business to inform visitors that
several railway crossings have to
be made by w. w. P. cars, with
possible danger and delay in stops
for tagging. All this will be ex-
tensively advertised by the union.

We don't advocate this plan to ir-

to pinprick England in any way.
Our advocacy of boycotting British

If we had our own national le-

people and governing by moral

what work could be accomplished.
The council could adopt a uniform
system whereby all publicly elect

would support Irish industries; it

MORE WORK THAN
UNION CAN HANDLE

The new union laundry is report
ed as being unable to handle hun
dreds of dollars worth of work ev-

chinery.
An election of permanent officers
of the new concern will take place
at an early date and a movement
set on foot to secure enough
money from the various unions to
put the plant in position to COM

That the laundry can be made a

been demonstrated, and with care

is nothing to prevent the unions

Subscription Laws.

Many readers have, from time to
time, requested information con-
cerning newspaper subscription
laws. Seven have been compiled
from decisions of the United States
court and embody points that
bother many newspaper publishers.
The seven are:
|. Subscribers who do not give
express notices to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscription.
2. If the subscribers order the
discontinuance of their periodicals
the publisher may continue to
send them until all arrearages are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postoftice to which they are di-
rected, they are responsible until
they have settled their bills and
ordered them continued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and the papers are sent o
their former address, they are Ii, d
responsible.
>. The courts have decided
that refusing to take periodicals
from the postoffice or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is a
prima facia evidence of intention
al fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in ad-
vance they are bound to give ne :
tice at the end of the time if they
do not wish to continue taking it,
otherwise the publisher is author
lied to send it and the subscriber
is responsible until an express no.
tice, with payment of arrear Iges is
S mt to the publisher.
I. The latest postal laws aIe
such that newspaper publishers
an arrest anyone for fraud, tn t
takes a newspaper and refuses to
pay for it. Under the law a man
who allows his subscription to run
along for some time unpaid and
then orders the postmaster to mark
it refused" and have a post card
sent notifying the publishers,
leaves himself liable to arrest and
fine the same as a thief.-Osborne
