Irish NATURAL LEADERS
AMERICAN LABOR UNIONS FUR.
NISH DEMONSTRATION.
In Minority in Ranks, But Infuen'
tial in the Higher
Councils.

The Irish Kelt In Industry was the
| subject OF q paper by Frank J. Sheridan
of the bureau OF labor before the Gaelic
Society at its final meeting of the season
last night at Carroll Institute Hall.
He told Of the great Irish schools exist
| ing from the fifth to the ninth centuries,
| which were industrial and technical
| schools as well as schools of religion. lit
erature and art He said that In them
were taught every branch Of Industrial
knowledge.
In speaking Of the activities Of the Irish
race in the United States he said: TT is
| shown by their predominance in the man.
ufacturing industries Of Massachusetts
and through their influence that states
pre-eminence in industrial legislation. such
as child labor laws and factory inspection.
This has been accomplished through their
membership in trade unions and their
leadership In them. Though but per
cent Of the anthracite mine workers, they
are the chosen leaders OF the tWenty-six
nationalities there. They dominate In the
bituminous mining states as leaders, and
in the Federation of Labor more than 20
per cent of the national leaders are OF
that race. They are the element that IS
fusing the immigrants of all races.
A discussion of the subject was led by
ence OF the Irish race in the industrial
world of Illinois and described the con-
ditions in the great meat-packing houses
at the stockyards of Chicago, where the
multitude Of Slavic and other races nave
chosen the Irish as their leaders In the
betterment Of their conditions. He SAID
that labor organizations were the sole
AmericaniEing influence at present al
work upon the unleavened mass of 1mml-
grants from eastern and southern Europe.
and that the men of Irish parentage were
directors of the movement.
Representative Graham OF Illinois CLOS
ed the discussion taking the ground that
the genius of the Gaelic race and of the
Kettle stock generally was along intellect
ual rather than industrial lines. 1nclinlng
more to literary, artistic and spiritual
leadership than to manufacturing or
great industrial undertakings.
Norman Esputa DAILY rendered char
acteristic musical program, ranging from
the most ancient traditional Gaelic airs
to the more modern compositions OK
OCarolan and the countryside perform
ers 1.-The Battle of Argan Nor. a pre-
Christian war march of the third CEN
fury, and THE Dirge of Owen Roe, OF
date 1910. held the audience with their
weird and solemn movement and ever-re-
curing minors. As encore numbers he
gave a Mendelssohn etude of his own Sc
lection and a graceful waltz of the Irish
composer, Barry. Mr.. Days interpreta-
ton and rendition were sympathetic ana
masterful and called forth enthusiastic
applause
announcement was made of the prog
ress of the Irish lace industry. now be-
ing brought to notice in this country, and
