APPEAL AGAINST
CONSCRIPTION IS
. MADE in LONDON
BY TWO PARTIES

London, May "a joint commit
tee of the trades union congress and
the labor party has sent a strong :ap-
peal to the government against en-.
forcing conscription in Ireland. It
says in part:
''1t must be clearly evident to the
government that an attempt to en-
force conscription would mean not
only the shedding of blood of thou
sands of Irishmen. Englishmen and
Scotchmen, but also the maintenance
Of huge permanent army of occu-
patton in Ireland. Today every SOL
dier is. needed on the western front,
yet the government is proposing a
course which will involve the with
drawal Of hundreds of thousands Of
soldiers to engage in a civil war
which will outrage the conscience of
the civilized world" Wv ri IN
