TBy Cable to The Tribune.l

Yesterday. His being set free Is the
greatest triumph of his career and the
worst blow the Earl of Aberdeen mas
received during his administration OF
Ireland.
The governments action In freeing
Iarkin was supported yesterday IN
remarkable speech by Miss Violet AS
ouith. the Premier's daughter She
was formerly engaged TO Lord Aoer-
deems son, who was killed In an auto
mobile accident. The speech was made
at a Liberal bazaar. at which the heV.
A. J. Waldron, author Of SHOULD
Woman Tell?" was a prominent figure.
She said:
"Sedition is n rather medieval Of
fence, especially now that Sir Edward
Carson by his law-abiding modern
methods has shorn it of every shred OF
glamour md drawn it down to the
level of the most humdrum respecia-
bility."
II Is obvious. OF course. that the gov
ernment has let Larkin out. because
il lost votes at the Reading and Lin
lithgow by-elections: but the FAMOUS
Dublin agitator, who is beyond all
question the man of the moment. fails
TO show the slightest sign OF gratitude.
He thinks. and rightly so. that he has
achieved a great victory. HIS hrst
words on gaining his freedom were.
This fight is only really starting.
They made a great mistake putting
me in prison and made greater mis-
take letting me out They VIII nave
TO release all the others. and the peo-
ple of this country will no longer be
ruled by the Ancient Order or HI
bernans and by ex-policemen. l am
going in a few hours TO light the merry
cross in England, Scotland and Wales.
He added that ne would make known
his plans at a meeting in Manchester
on Sunday, and he promised the en-
ployers of Dublin that they were going
to sup sorrow with long spoon.
He intended, he said. TO call on the
Ancient order OF Hibernians 10 dls-
own scab. organizers, and he expressed
the belief that the time had come when
the English working classes would take
action. The English working classes
were with them. and he promised them
that before owning themselves beaten
there would be a general strike, nos
only in Dublin but also in England,
Scotland and Wales. They were going
to fight, he said. TO finish, until every
, man and woman out Of work was re-
stored. Lord Aberdeen, In Larkin's
opinion, would have to go, being only
a tool i'm the hands Of unscrupulous
capitalists.
Larkin failed TO keep a promise to
address another meeting IN Dublin last
night, but the rumor that he had left
for England was denied by his wife,
who said he was resting In view OF
such journey to-day.
Thousands OF strikers who paraded
the streets OF Dublin last night car
ried sticks or legs of chairs, and thirty
mounted police. rmed with batons,
sabres and revolvers, guarded Beres-
ford Place and Sackvillo street, the
scenes of former riots. There was,
however, no disturbance.
Dublin. Nov. 13.-James Larkin, leader
of the Transport Workers Union. was
liberated to-day from MountJoy prison.
where he was serving a sentence Of seven
months Imprisonment for sedition. Lar
kin subsequently appeared at the labor
headquarters In Liberty Hall. and the oc-
casion was seized upon by his followers
for a remarkable demonstration of their
, devotion to him.
I'm going to England to raise the fiery
cross and I'm few hours there will be
general strike throughout Great Britain"
James Larkin told huge crowd which
| assembled in front OF Liberty Hall soon
after his release. He continued:
I'VE have fought successfully the
strongest government of modern times.
| II made mistake in sending me to
prison, and has made a greater mistake
| I'm releasing me"
| London, Nov. 13.-The release Of James
Larkin In Dublin has far from satisfied
the labor world OF the British Isles. 1t
| seems still further TO have intensified the
| determination OF the trade unionists to
| fight the labor dispute In Dublin TO a
| finish. An emergency meeting Of the
trade union Parliamentary committee
has been summoned for Tuesday next,
when a general stoppage OF work In the
United Kingdom will be taken into con-
sideration.
| Robert williams. general secretary OF
| the Transport Workers Union, said this
| afternoon:
at must not be assumed that the re-
lease OF James Larkin is the sum total
OF our demands. We are going for a still
greater triumph In Dublin. The govern
ment must cease to act In colusion with
the employers by giving facilities for i'm
porting scab labor
Mr. Williams intimated that he had
not any doubt. unless the employers gave
way before Tuesday next. that the trade
union Parliamentary committee would
decide TO call on the workers OF the
| United Kingdom to take such steps as
were necessary to break down "the anti
labor and anti-trade union methods of
the despots OF Dublin"
EARTHQUAKE IN PANAMA.
