Over against the village rises low
rounded green hill, from whose crest
you get one of the finest views that
the Emerald Isle affords. That hill
was the seat of the old Irish capital,
in the days when the island was gov

and over-kings. The highest king of
all reigned here, held his state and con-
ferred with vassal sovereigns over
what should be done for the people. If
history speaks truth. however. the
people had disturbing habit of taking
things in their own hands and doing
what seemed best for themselves.
According to tradition, a hundred

at Tara, through period of $500 years

Suggests Labor Conference.

President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor has made public a
letter he wrote to the secretary of the
Mexican labor organization known as
Casa del Obrero Mundial blouse of the
Workers of the World) inviting repre-
sentatives of that body and other labor
organizations in Mexico to meet those
of the federation in conference at FL
Paso on date to be set later. The
purpose of the conference is described
as to propose practical method of
mutual cooperation between organized
labor in Mexico and the United States"
Copies of the letter were transmit
ted to Gen. Carranza and other de
facto government officials. 1t was dis
cussed with Gen. Carranza's legal rep
resentative here before it was sent.
Mr.. Gompers said that his proposal
for a conference with the Mexican
labor leaders had no political signifi-
canoe, and that its only object was to
determine whether the American fede-
ration could be of assistance to the
similar organization in Mexico, which
has been struggling against such tre-
mendous odds.
Officers of the federation believe that
such conference would result in good,
even if their spokesmen were able to
do no more than give the Mexicans the
benefit of their advice.

Want Last Note Answered.

In official quarters the opinion was
expressed today that Gen. CarranZa in
his forthcoming note probably will
complain because his communication of
April IL has not been answered by Sec
retary Lansing. That answer was held
up. it is declared, to await results of
the border conferences between Gems
Scott and Obregon.
Receipt of a vigorous note calling at
tention to the long delay in answering
his latest communication and again
presenting reasons for the withdrawal
of American troops from Mexican soil
is expected by State Department Off
cials. 1t is not believed that when
analyZed it will be an ultimatum, but
will be couched in such forceful Latin
American phraseology as to approa ch
such form. at least as construed by the
native population of Mexico.
Officials realize that CarranZa faces
enormous pressure from popular opin-
ion in his dealings looking to with
drawal of the American expedition.
Many of his military leaders are crit
ical because his efforts to secure with
drawal of the Americans have been un-
fruitful. He also faces much hostile
sentiment against Americans His
representations in this connection will.
therefore, be considered by the State
Department in the light of his difficult
ties.
