THE AGE OF GLASS

The Y NJ c. A. reports that saloons appeal much less
powerfully to youths between seventeen and tweny-our
years OF age than to older Should these tidngs
raise our spirits or lower them?
Among the young men reported on, young men from
seventeen TO tWentyOUr years old 18 per cent patron
ne the Saoon OF men between twenty-five and hty-vc
go per cent are customers OF men from hirysx p to
foryVe, AZ per cent the saloon. Now CONSIDERING
the unattracveness of the ordinary American baroom
these figures are rather striking. still more DAMAGING
clcsm OF our social order is however, be found in the
l. M o. A. addendum, that "twice as many married men
go to the saloon single men, Our uplfters make bad
matter worse by attbutng this fact to he higher ideal
ISM OF the young men"-for what cures our YOUNG men
OF their deaism? Happily, the Y NJ c. A. adds as an aft
terthough that unmarried men spend good deal of time
IN the company of their sweethears who naturally would
not visit the saloon with them The saloon seems to be
most popular in the years between htyfvc and forty

THE COAL SHORTAGE

the coal shortage, but that it is

in the prevalence of shortage in

GREAT IRISH
OPPORTUNITY
tBy Cornelius Lehane)

'g WI ftAAAhN Af'i1attAN
Over year ago. when the
events connected with the death
! Of James Connolly and others,
afte- the battle of Dublin, were
fresh in the minds of the Amer
lean Socialists. ventured to call
the attention of the Socialist
movement in this country TO the
uneXampled opportunity which
had arisen for reaching the Amer
lean Irish with the message of
Socialism.
In that article | emphasized the
labor character of the Dublin re-
volt against British militarism.
and showed that Connolly, the
veteran Marxism Socialist who
commanded in the revolution the
Irish Citizen Army, the first la
Dor army in the world. would
not have thrown his force into
action and sacrifice his own life
and the lives of his Comrades,
were it not that he conceived
hat his duty to the international
Socialist movement, of which he
was a life long member and
exponent, demanded that course
of action. Connolly and his gal
liant Comrades are dead, but so
is CONSUMPTION in Ireland. They
did not die in vain. They saved
the workers of Ireland from con-
scription, as they proved to the
government that the people of
Ireland preferred death to con-
scription in the ranks Of the cap
italist army.
| then invited the Irish So
cialists Of America to take steps
to put into the hands of the
American Irish at large the writ
ings Of James Connolly, whose
heroic death had endeared him
in the minds and hearts of the
Gaelic race. | pointed out that
his writings would not be read
by people who before his death
may have Stunned him. His
death in the deathless fight for
freedom changed all. Connolly
dead is more powerful than Con-
molly living. The wonderful lit
erature which he left after him
as a heritage to the working
class Of che world is today revo-
lutionizing the minds Of the Irish
people at home in Ireland and
here in America.

a few weeks.
She was born in Button, Iowa,
in 1857, her father being DR..

labor union officers and mem
bers, officers and members of
Irish fraternal orders, and work
ing people of practically every
race represented in America
Thus, some progress has been
made in the direction indicated
over year ago. have to thank
all Comrades for the co-opera-
ton | received in arousing inter
est in the works Of James Con-
molly, but especially | must thanh
John j. Lying, Of Yonkers and
Denis +. Dryer Of st. Louis,
both old colleagues of James
Connolly, also Thomas O'Flaherty
Of Boston, president Of the Bos-
ION Gaelic school 1t would be
perhaps unnecessary for me to
mention the great assistance that
Nora Connolly, daughter Of Jafhes
Connolly, has given in helping
the American Irish to an appre-
citation of the cause for which
her father died, and that given
by Mrs. Sheehy SkeffinRton and
Padraic Colum.
The work of Drinking the So
cialist message 10 the Irish in
America has, however. not de-
veloped AS fast as could be de-
sired. and this mainly FOR the
reason that, being contlnus.y
on the move, had not always
the time to attend promptly Ito
the heavy correspondence that
reached pe. Now. however, the
work can be speeded up. as |
have taken up permanent resi-
dence in the East near New York.
| should like now TO assist Irish
Socialists everywhere in America
in the task of reaching the non
Socialist Irish with the glorious
message of Socialism. Today
even more than ever it is neces-
sary that we should pursue the
Irish with Connolly's message.
From Dublin to Petrograd the
open revolt against capitalism
and militarism has spread. Eng
land and Italy may soon follow
the example of the Russian Boil
sheviki. Then the rest of Eu-
rope for Socialism all round. In
contemplating the splendid turn
of events in Europe, where So
cialism is now at last in the
saddle in at least one great coun-
try, let us not forget that the
Bolsheviki Red Guards, which
helped Lenine to consolidate the
power of the Russian Socialist
republic, are modelled on the pat
tern of the Irish Citizen Army.
and that the Irish workers were
the first in the world to put into
the field a drilled and armed
force composed exclusively of la
Dor union men and pledged to the
cooperative commonwealth. The
dead Connolly is indicated by
the living Lenine.
Now, to facilitate the work
of spreading the light amongst
the Irish in this country, have
asked for the formation Of ma
tionwide committee of Irish So
cialist party members ms n pre-
paratory step to serious and
intensive drive amongst the non
Socialist Irish. | should like to
have this article read out at the
next meeting of every Socialist
local. Do not wait for your To-
cal secretary to hear about it.
Cut this out and hand or mail
it to the secretary of your local
and ask him to bring it up at the
next meeting, Then write to
me yourself, and send me the
names and addresses of any ac-
tive Irish Socialists in your To-
cality. | shall go after them
for you through the mail In a
| short while we shall ret results.

SENATOR ADVOCATES
new DISTRICT SPUR
Chairman of District Committee
Fathers Bill tor Extension.

Chairman Smith. q the Senate Dis
trict Committee. will tomorrow intro
duee a bill authorizing the surgeon
general OF the United States army TO
construct a temporary spur track
from the existing lines across First
street northeast. between L and M
streets, to the buildings occupied by
the army field medical supply depot
Declaring that the absence OF this
spur was costing the government $500
a day, Senator Smith made a strenu-
Gus effort to introduce the bill late
yesterday afternoon, but he was un-
able to win the necessary unanimous
consent.
Senator Chamberlain introduced the
same bill in January, but there was a
general protest at this time from di-
rectors Of the Sibley Hospital and
residents in the vicinity.
Senator Smiths bill. however. has
overcome these objections, it is
thought, by providing that the siding
shall not extend "eastwardly beyond
a point $50 feet 9 inches east of the
present site OF the Sibley Hospital;;"
that It shall be limited to the use Of
the army and be used then only be-
tween the hours OF s q. m. and D, m,
except in cases OF extreme emer-
gency. zr--s-,
1t Is further provided that within
six months following the declaration
of peace the surgeon general shall
cause the track to be removed with
out cost to the District"
