GOLD |S FOUND . AND bE MINED
 IN OLD IRELAND

DUBLIN, June 10-Gold mining in Ireland Is possibility of the near future hinted at in report of a committee organized here to make a survey of Ireland's mineral wealth. It is believed that ancient deposits of gold, which were worked in the eighteenth century along the Ballin- vally stream, might be found commer- cial profitable under modern mining methods
 According to the published state ment, the first discovery of gold along the Ballinvally was made in 1796, when a nugget weighing an ounce was picked up. News, of the discovery spread like wildfire through the hills and glens of Wicklow. and the for. tune of every inhabtant of the sur rounding country seemed achieved. The search continued for two months. and at the end of that time 2.666 ounces of pure gold had been found. The government then took control, but operations continued for several years, yielding an average of $lO.000 a year over a long period
 The gold found ranged from tiny atoms to nuggets weighing over a pound. One nugget weighed 22 ounces and measured four inches in length by two in breadth A gilded plaster cast of this nugget. which was re tained by the finder has recently been plaD ed on exhibition at Trinity College, Dublin.
 As late as 1856. d nugget weighing six ounces was picked up in the Bal Iinvally. nd it Is believed that with the lat modern methods a sub stantial oft could be made from intensive operations n this district The spots proposed for the experiment are at Ballinvally, Crogan-Mor and Kilahurian

STEAMER VICTORIA IS IN
 PORT ON WAY FROM NOME

The steamship Victoria arrived in port early last evening from Nome and St. Michael. having a large list Of passengers from Seward peninsula and Yukon river points.
 The Victoria was the first vessel to arrive at Nome this year. reaching there on June 25. considerably later than the first boats of the season usu- ally reach that port. Her voyage was one of the most memorable in her eycntiul history. and the story Of how she bucked the ice pack for weeks, and for sixteen days was imbeddcd in the ice and drifting toward the Arctic, make d thrilling story of ma rinc adventure. For days she was in sight of Nome, but unable to reach il, and was only successful after ma. torial assistance from the coast guard cirtrr Bear
 There were more than $50 passcn- gers con board the Victoria, bound Tor Nome and the Yukon, and the ships officers speak enthusiastically of the splendid morale mulntaigcd during the trying experience
 The Victoria ia taking consigu. mcut of reindeer meat from Nome to Seattle, and will take on ore and salmon at this port.

MRS. MOONEY IS

After Twenty Months |mprison-

Also Under Bail.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-Mrs.
Rena Mooney has been released on
$4,000 bail after 20 months impris-
onment. She was released on her
own recognizance on other indict-
ments growing out of the prepared
ness day bomb cases in 1915. After
Mrs. Mooney was acquitted, last July.
on one indictment, she was held in
Jail by Judge Dunno until the state
supreme court, in the case OF Isreal
Weinberg, another defendant, gave a
basis for her admission to bail. She
is the third Of the five bomb defend

never brought to trial, and is out on

on one charge, but was held in Jail
until the state suspreme court order

pealed to Governor Stephens for
pardon as result of the state su-

Organizer Martin 4 t
Is Aeq uitted On
Sedition Charge
Verdict Shows Allegations Of Dis.
loyalty Against Nonpartisan
League Unfounded.

RED WING, Mimi, April 49,
I l.. w. Martin, organizer for the
Nonpartisian league, who was
tried here on charges of sedition,
has been acquitted by jury, which
brought in a unanimous verdict
reached Oh the first ballot.
For several months allegations
and insinuations have been di-
rected against the farmers league
questioning its loyalty to the gov
ernment in the prosecution of the
war. and the acquittal in the trial
of Mr.. Martin, the first to be held
anywhere in the state, proves the
charges of disloyalty unfounded.
The most remarkable feature of
the trial was that the organizer
was not accused until seven
months after the speech in which
it was alleged he male seditious
statements; that town officials
who appeared against Martin at
the trial had heard the speech,
shook hands with him and pro-
nounced it good address after
the meeting; and that in fact there
was no hint. Of. disloyalty con-
nected with it until after the Nom
partisan league had indorsed can
didates for state offices.
Under cross-examination of
County Attorney Mohn, Martin was
asked to relate what he had said
In his speech at GoOdhue.
~''Do you want all Of it?' the
witness asked.
The prosecutor said he did.
Martin then launched into a.
rotsing Nonpartisan league speech
before a crowded courtroom. He
iauded President Wilson, and then
nayed peanut politicians, profit
GERS and the hirelinss of big busi-
:1ess: who: corrupt government.
-. As, soon. as recess was ordered,
half dozen farmers besieged
Martin and. his attorney begging
for membership applications in
the league.

MILLIONS SAVED
BY EXCLUDING
PRIVATE AGENTS
From Administering & Workmen's
Compensation, Claims New :
$ York Commission.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 1S-HThe
American states should put a stop to
profiteering in workmen's compensa-
tion Insurance."
= This declaration Of the New York
State Industrial commission, which
administers the workmen's compensa-
ton law, was made through Manager
F. Spencer Baldwin of he State In
'surance fund, in urging the passage
of the Gilchrist bill to exclude prf-
vate stock companies from the busi-
ness OF compensation insurance, at a
hearing*oh the measure April in
Albany before the judiciary commit
tees Of the legislature.
"The stock companies and their
representatives have by their own
desplcable competitive tactics invited
thelr exclusion from the field" said
Mr.. Baldwin. who announced that this
conclusion has been forced on him
AFTER six years experience in prac-
tical administration of workmen's
compensation insurance.
1.-THE waste entailed by the present
competitive plan of insurance in New
York state may be estimated conserv-
atively at 100000 annually. It
costs the stock companies approxi-
mately 65 cents in management and
acquisition expenses to get 81 of COM
pensation into the hands Of benefi-
ciaries; it costs the New York State
fund about 10 cents to distribute 81
in compensation. There is no justi-
fication, economically or morally, for
commissions and profits on work.
mems compensation insurance"
Chairman T. J. Duffy of the Ohio
State Industrial commission appeared
in. favor Of the bill; declaring that the.
exclusive state fund for workmen's
compensation insurance, as in Ohio,
is a conspicuous success.
Answering representatives of the
commercial insurance companies who
appeared to fight the bill, Manager,
Baldwin declared that these compan-
les had misrepresented the state fund
in IAN absolutely unscrupulous and
shameless" manner.
There is growing conviction that
no one ought to be permitted to make
money out Of the necessity Of the en-
ployer and the misfortune Of the en-
pleye," continued Mr.. Baldwin, who
asserted that his indictment of the
commercial companies does not apply
to mutual companies, which pay no
dividends to stockholders and no COM
missions to agents. 'The present time
is peculiarly opportune for, the stop
page of the waste entailed2 by the
present competitive plan of insur-
-ance. The exigencies of. the war call
for the adoption Of every practicable
measure to speed up industry and cut
down the cost Of living. The waste Of
millions: ofFzdollars annually through
stock company participation in the
business of worknaen's compensation
insurance should not be tolerated in
this period Of enonomic stress and
strain"

POLITICAL ACTION
New Jersey Convention Plans To
Defeat Enemies and Reward
Friends ofLabor.

= NEWARK, N. j., april 1S.--Five
hundred representatives of organized
labor in New Jersey, in state conven-
tion April Z, unanimously adopted
loyalty resolutions and a platform Of
principles of public policy" upon
which labor will stand in the politi-
cal campaigns and work together to
defeat it's enemies and reward its
friends in public office.
Political action, it was decided, will
mean efforts to secure the nomina-
ton. in primaries of friends of labor.
Among. the demands included in
the platform are public ownership Of
public utilities; at least 80 per cent
tax on excess war profits; establish
ment by the state of workmen's
health insurance, without profit and
with provisions for sickness preven-
ton; opposition to constabulary;
and increasing the workmen's COM
pensation scale to two-thirds of
wages. =
The meeting was an expanded ses-
sion OF the Joint State Labor Legis-
lative board, including the four. rail-
road brotherhoods, which carries on
the legislative work at the state capt.
tai There were represented So diff
ferent trades, 1s state organizations.
13 city central unions, and II build

RAIL SYSTEMS
Measures Being Adopted Which
Presage Permanent Govern ..
ment Control,

WASHINGTON April 1S.-Regard-
less of theoretical discussions as to
whether government operation should
be permanent policy or simply war
adopting measures that tend TO ma
tionalize the railroad systems. Uni
fled operation, the dream of railroad
men for years, has been given a great
impetus by the announcement that
after May 1, goods may be shipped
across the country, on one way bill,
no matter how many railroads may
handle them in transit. In the past,
a car of goods from New York to
San Francisco might be shipped by
four different railroads and on four
different waybills. That meant
when a car arrived at a railroad ter
minal point it had to be held there
until it was checked in on the old
iwaybilt and\ checked out on new
period Of freight congestion, that
system often held up cars for days
and even weeks.
Mr.. McAdoo, who has already Or
dered the discharge Of, all lobbyists
and legal departments that could
not, show legal . reasons. for their
existence, is now. moving to dis
charge useless officials and useless
branches of railroad staffs.. These
useless persons include chairmen Of

it's decisions upon the workers., and
can only punish employers by with
drawing government contracts from
them Yet this board is as much as
congress would grant in; any event to
the wage workers. The or men in
the house may possibly be- able, on
their part, to prevent the adoption Of
any measure which would permit of
forced work in private establish
ments.
That is the great danger in this
situation-that congress close its eyes
to British experience and adopt a
labor CONSUMPTION law. The British
passed their anti-strike law first, and
discovered its uselessness afterward.
Senator Hollis warned the senate of
this fact but no attention has been
paid to- his warning.
Here is a quotation from senator
Calder Of New York, which reflects
the sentiment of these anti-labor
forces in congress-:
Would Place Strikers in Army.
Il do not propose that we shall kill
men who stop work, but I propose
that men who stop work in govern
ment plants during the war shall be
denied the right Of Unemployment
while the: war exists, and join with
the junior senator from Alabama
(UnderwoodJ in saying that not only
would deny them work in govern
ment plants during the continuance
Of the war, but I would say to them
that they shall be required to take
their place side BY side with, the AM
erican soldiers in France who are
struggling to uphold the dignity and
honor Of the nation"
Happily@@for organized labor, the
National War Labor board meeting
in Washington, will at once begin
to straighten out some of the most
serious labor difficulties in war in
dustries. A reassuring word from
Messrs. Walsh and Taft may calm
the senate, and: prevent further stop

is no dissent from the view that
