LABOR IN IRELAND TO
 PROTEST coNscRIPTIoN
Dublin Trade Congress Decides to
 Abstain From Work Today.

Dublin, April 22-Following the de- cision of the Trade Congress here on Saturday, various trade unions have met and have generally accepted the decision and have determined to ab- stain from all work tomorrow as protest against conscription and as evidence of their purpose to resist it.
 Dublin householders this morning were told by bakers and milkmen that there would be no deliveries tomor- row. Tramway and transport work CTS organizations have decided to stop work, as well as engineers, carpen- ters. tailors, drapers assistants, blacksmiths. etc. Railway mems or- ganizations, said to number 10000, in- cluding station masters and clerks, have come to the same decision.
 So far as trades union labor is con = cerned, to prove it's able influence over it's members, tomorrow will be gen. eral holiday. No previous attempt to stop tramways and trains has ever completely succeeded in Ireland but this is the first time any such move has been able to rely on high eccles- iastical and political approval. The event is not a strike in any ordinary sense. but is a demonstration with a political object.
 Sixteen kings council, including tive of the three sergeants- -at-law. have issued statement approving and adopting the declaration of the Cath olic hierarchy on conscription.

 IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Have Caused Damage Estimated at
 Half a Million Dollars.

Los Angeles, Calif.. April 22.-Nine earthquake shocks, severe in inten- sity, which began yesterday at S.S7 D. m., and extended over a period of thirty hours, appeared tonight to have completed their work of destruction. having caused property damage roughly estimated at half million dollars.

 Hemet and San Jacinto, twin towns Of the broad valley between the San Jacinto and Santa Ana ranges, were half wrecked in their business sections and their 400 odd homes were severely. jared.

PERsHlNe REPORTS GERMAN
 ASSAULT UPON AMERICANS
lt is Understood to indicate That the Americans Sustained More Than 200 Casualties,

Washington, April 22. Gtti>ral Pershing'E report on the German as- sault upon the American and French forces in the Toul sector Saturday is understood to indicate that the Amer jeans sustained more than 200 casual ties, and to estimate that the Ger man loss at between three and four hundred.
 It was learned tonight that the re- port had been received, but war de- partnent officials refused to make it public or to comment upon persistent reports about the department con corning it's contents. Secretary Baker Is understood to be awaiting more de- tails before making an announcement, though he probably, will lay the in- formation received before the house military committee when he appears tomorrow to tell of his trip abroad.
 The Germans claim to have captured 1S3 Americans and to have killed and wounded many more, and so far there has been no official American answer to the claim. This situation will re- suit in a revival of consideration al the war department of the proposa, that a daily statement be issued from the beadquarters of the American ex- neditionary forces. The explanation heretofore given for the refusal tt sccede to the proposals was thar American troops are part and are CO., operating with larger French ant British units and that an independen American communique would neces sarily duplicate British or Frencl statements.
 It is realized. however, that German claims, unless specifically denied iron authoritative sources. will be regard ed as statements Of fact with inevita ble resulting anxiety to the people 0 this country. For that reason Secre tary Baker is disposed to reopen tn whole question with General Persh | ing.
 It has been definitely decided tha as soon as American forces in an. considerable number are again actinl as an independent unit, daily state ment as to its activities will be is l sued
