The Irish standard., 1918-11-16

A National Conference of Delegates
of the Clan-na.Gael from all parts of
the country was held at the Central
Opera House, 9th street and Third
avenue, New York, on last Sunday,
and it unanimously adopted a petit
tion to the President and Congress of
the United States in favor Of Self
Determination for Ireland. Over six
hundred delegates were present,
among whom were many priests, and
the greatest harmony and unanimity
prevailed throughout the sessions,
which lasted from 10 o'clock in the
morning, with a short intermission for
dinner until 6:45 p. m.
1t was a splendid gathering, fully
representatives both of the physical
manhood and the intellect of the race.
But it was almost entirely composed
of men beyond the age which would
make them liable to the first draft
Several thousand members Of the or
ganization are either at the front in
France or in the training camps, and
these young men were before Amer
ica's entry into the war among the
most active workers. Many men who
were present have sons or younger
brothers in the army or navy-one
man having three sons and several
others two-and more than twenty
delegates have found their sons, ,,
nephews', or brothers names in the
casualty. lists. One of the New York
clubs had two members who were re-
Gently killed, and the same kind Of
story was told in conversation with
friends by men from all parts Of the
country.
The petition was largely based on
President Wilson's speech at the
Metropolitan Opera house. It need
hardly be said that great satisfaction
was expressed by all present over the
Presidents strong pronouncement in
favor of the rights Of all peoples to
govern themselves and his emphatic
assertion that no people should be
held down by military force by any
government not their own. It was the
universal feeling that the Presidents
speech has created an entirely new
situation in favor of the small nations,
and was particularly favorable to Ire
land.
In face of that announcement of
the President no one can now assert
that 1reland's claim for freedom is
ruled out of court, or that it is con-
trary to the war policy of the United
States. Every man present at the
conference felt that it will give new
impetus to the movement to secure

trenches at $4,000 a month. What this
country cannot afford to permit is
wrangling, squabling army of labor to
put up a delay of work here on our
ships when they are already getting a
fairly reasonable pay.
We need little of Prussianism here,
but rather than permit this thing to
continue, the government ought to
conscriDt labor and drive it to work.
We are sending the flower of the land
to fight The enemy in Europe at $1,000
month An every day laborer who
is getting $4,000 a month ought not
TO be permitted for moment to die
tate terms and hours in a rush like
this government is now facing for
ships And we need not take time to
learn all this. The time to move is now
while it is possible. The Stacker army
of labor ought not to be permitted to
stall for moment; 1t ought to go to
the pests of duty at once and stay
there till the last stroke is made for
victory.
This is a free country, but when
freedom is exercised to establish
BClshevism here as T. runs riot in
Russia, the day of freedom should be
displaced and something else prevail.
Are our working people or any OF us
here at hCme, as for that matter, any
better than are our soldiers gone to
the front? Are we expecting our
soldiers to strike and demand better
pay? Not much. What would that army
of carpenters think if they saw in the
papers that every American soldier
had struck for higher wages How
many would condemn the soldiers and
say they ought to be shot as traitors,
And yet are we any better to step out
Of line here at home and tell our gov
eminent we will not work unless we
are given more money?
All of us are as bound to that ship
task as are our soldiers bound to the
trenches. All of us are as strongly
bound to the work of the prosecution
of the war here as are the soldiers at
the front. 1t ought not to be matter
Of individual choice. 1t is no time for
that We have as for ourselves, seen
very little manifestation Of loyalty in
the strikes of workmeu engaged in
labor that assists directly in the pros
ecution of the war. Victory is indeed
far away for such people.

PREVENT The Fires

Millions of dollars of agricultural
wealth-much of it foods destroyed
by fire in the United States every year.
At normal prices and with an average
crop it would take the value of the
greater part of the potato crop OF
The country to offset all that is lost
annually through the fires on the
farms.
This is dead loss 20 the nation
for the fact that most individual losers
are partially Reimbursed through in

the drain on our national resources
and II is a loss that is largely pre-
ventsble. Simple ways TO reduce this
great waste are suggested in Farmers

for free distribution by the United
States Department of Agriculture

writers of the bulletin, is the Oldest,
simplest and cheapest fire extinguish-
Grand should be in every farm build
ng and home not equipped with more
elaborate tire-fghting equipment.
Any kind of bucket filled with water
and placed handily is good, but spe-
cial fire buckets with rounded bottoms
like a kettle are best There in on
temptation to use such buckets for
ordinary purposes and they are much
more likely to be left hung on the
brackets or in the round holes cut for
them in shelves Any kind of fire
buckets should be specially painted or
labeled and never used for any pur-
pose other than fire fighting They
should be placed near entrances aud
near the top of stairways or ladders
where they can easily be reached on
entering the building or loft. Several
buckets nestled in barrel of water
are an effective device.
Needless to say the fire buckets
should always be kept filled by replac-
ng the water lost by evaporation.
If the buckets are covered, water
will not evaparate so rapidly nor get
ull of dust and dirt and become of

Of common salt to each bucket full. A
