Again, thousands of cattle were 60

dying of starvation at the North Wall,

of tons of hay for the government.
At the present moment there was

Mr.. Sherlock said whenever the sup
ply of foodstuffs was only enough for
the people of Ireland, the supply
should be kept in Ireland. Ireland
never produced enough butter for it's
own use in the winter. This year none
was to be imported. They should de-

during the winter months. At the
North Wall they would find numbers
of packages of butter for various
houses in England. If the alternative
was that the labor classes should re-
fuse to handle these goods for export,
then they, the members of the Coun-
Gil, should be prepared to face the
music, D. O. r. A Notwithstanding

in St. Mary's Hall, Belfast, said that
fourth of the population should be left

(Father Convery) ceased to identify

lowered the flag of Independent oppo-
sition. If that party had followed Par
