JRELAND'S WAR AIMS.

The principle of Sim Fem is pas
sive resistance to English militarlsm
imposed upon Ireland, Miss kath-
leen O'Brennan said, answering a
question. following her address to a
large and most attentive audience III
Central hall Monday night.
Miss O'Brennan said that Ireland
desired to sit at the peace table at
the close of the war and be consld-
cred to come within the terms of the
rights of small nations" as enun-
ciated by President Wilson. That
Ireland, in fact. is a nation is EVIL
denced in the successful resistance
for 700 years to assimilation by Eng
land: nature also established nat
ural boundary between the two coun-
tries.
Miss O'Brennan related some OF
the trials and tribulations of Ireland
since the time of its forcible anneXa-
ton by England; of the inherent
democracy of the Irish people; OF the
depopulation of the country under
English misrule; of the millions OF
Irish blood now citizens of the great
American republic, and likened the
condition OF Ireland to that of the
American colonies prior to the revo-
luton.
Illustrating Ireland's sacrifices in
the present war, in comparative
way. she said that this country must
have five and a half millions of dead
on the battle fields of Flanders in
order to equal the sacrifices OF Ire
land. Seventy-five thousand OF her
sons have made the supreme sacrifice
in this world war
Speaking OF the repression OF the
Sim Fem organization in April and
the English version of the facts, she
declared that the widely circulated
circumstantial stories of pro-Ger-
man plot were all faxed, The dem
onstrations were an attempt to es-
tablish freedom, and the victims OF
English martial law were martyrs to
the glorious cause of Irish liberty
The Sim Feiners comprised 80 pei
cent of the population Of Ireland.
Ireland expected and desired the

ing an equipment up-to-date in all
respects.
The plant is located at the corner
of Fifth and Water streets, and the

will go to Walla Walla.

y
cunning, We're only too anxious to
slough off upon 1.-THE Washington
State Weekly.
A principle that is founded on
minimum effort and maximum remu-
neration is economically unsound and
consequently bound to be disastrous
in the long run to the organization
bound by it. Such principle is held
by union labor organizations, making
thereby for ultimate self-destruction.
Within the ranks of organized labor
today there are many men who are
dissatisfied with such policy, who
say: I'VE could do more if our labor
bosses would let u.s." Will these
men ever become strong spirited
enough to discard their selfish and
traitorous leaders and let the nation
know the real loyal heart of the ma
iority of workingmen?-The Wash
ington State Weekly.
The three clippings printed here
with seem to converge upon one
thought-that the perfectly good
workingman is the one who is salts
fed with job, leaving all the Incl
dentals of wages, hours of labor and
conditions surrounding the job to his
"superiors.
The editor and the colonel, how
ever. reach the common end from diff
ferent angles. The colonel is thor
oughly convinced that the "i' in his
effusion ought to be printed in not
less than 72-point. 1t is plain, OF
course, that he is "crowding the
mourners' a trifle in his assumption
Legion scheme. The truth of the
matter is that the lumber interests
were standing with their backs to
the wall-they must either grant
the S-hour day or suffer commanders
ing of their plants by the govern
ment. In their extremity they hit
upon this scheme and put it through.
1t is not entirely satisfactory, but
pretty close to it-they swallow the
eight-hour pill but they gain the
point of having friend fix the wages
and conditions of employment. The
plan also tends to docility upon the
part of the laborer. The coloneFs
attitude of infallibility, however, is
due for a shock. Experience teaches
us that man is never perched so
high that he cannot be reached and
dragged down if you have pole that
is long enough.
The editor of the State Weekly
does not approach the point with
thought of himself as a Solomon. He
is like the ass-he knows his master.
He also is familiar with the labor
movement and does not fool himself
when he prints the lies about slack
ers among workingmen. He also
knows that the labor movement had
no sympathy whatever with the |. w.
W., that all union labor officials were
recognized by the |. w. w. as enc
mics. The big end of the campaign
of l. W. w. organizers rested upon
vilifcation of union labor, and their
constant endeavor was to make IN
roads upon the ranks of the legiti-
mate union labor forces. The State
Weekly man is just plain prostitute
and he deserves and has the con-
tempt of the honest citizen who has
knowledge of the fact that he IS
doing dirty work for the Employers
Association.

CITIZENS ASK.
FOR UNIVERSAL
TRANSFERS #
FARE IS RAISED
By BILL PRICE

Action 90 far taken by various
citizens associations, fayoring ~uni-
VersaI" transfers in connection with
the granting Of straight Scent car
fares 10 city sSNet railways, has
added impetus to Che known inten-
ton Of members Of the Public Utilities
Commission to vfy thoroughly go
into that subject
That 'runiversar' transfers would
beyond doubt be favored BY the COM
mission II IT does not interfere with
the necessary financial assistance to
be given the companies through a
scent fare, can be stated with con
fidence. It is the intention OF the
commission and of representatives OF
citizens associations who will be pres
ent at the hearings beginning October
Z to develop facts as to what might
be the effect upon the two railway
companies Of transfers at vital points
throughout the city.
Experts like John A. Beeler agree
that interchangeable transfers are OF
great value to the public and often to
street railways. but declare II is q
question for careful study.
The shortening Of long roundabout
hsuls IL one advantage to the COM
panies. as well as the public. and
there are a number of these in the
District
Transfers often develop serious
congestion at some points, however,
1t Is stated, and the problem should
be worked out with care.
There will be strong pressure from
representatives of the people for at
least an initiation of the ''universaI''
transfer idea, so long approved by
civic bodies. II the general introduce
ton of the plan should threaten dan
gerous financial loss, 1t is possible,
citizens feel today, that the plan may
be inaugurated at certain points
where long roundabout rides, now a
necessity through the existence of
two independent companies, may be
obviated.
Mr. Beeler's recently proposed belt
line, which he still advocates as of
Importance to the street car situa-
ton, contemplated transfers that
would enable citizens to use cars of
either line, according to congestion
or convenience.
Citizens associations that have
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-09-26

acted are divided on the subject Of
granting q straight scent fare, but
the majority appear willing to con-
cede this. All of them favor trans
fers. The Columbia Heights Citizens
Association is Investigating the sub
ject before deciding upon its position.
There is q disposition to be fair to
the companies.
Mr.. Beeler has just returned from
Boston, where he has been looking
into street railway conditions. Seven
cent fares are paid in that city, but
have not resulted in the favorable
financial conditions for the companies
that were expected. There is Q gross
increase in revenues, but a loss in net
revenues. Short-haul passengers are
walking.
Experts do not believe the relative
" small increase to be granted here
will affect the revenues of the Becal
companies adversely. If the increase
were greater, there would be a big
falling of in the number OF passen-
gers carried.
