Hurley, of the Shipping Board, today
opposed absolute prohibition before

clared. He said in his opinion there
would be more risk connected with
prohibition at this time than in the
conscription of labor.
Gompers said that organized labor
is opposed to absolute prohibition,
and to bring up the question now
would be to arouse great discord
among the people of this country"

cate prohibition.

GOLD MINING In IRELAND
is A POSSIBILITY
(By Associated Press J

Dublin, June 24.-Gold mining in
ireland is a possibility of the near

mittee organized here to make a sur
sey of Ireland's mineral wealth. 1t
is believed that ancient deposits Of
gold, which were worked in the late
eighteenth century along the Ballin-
lVally stream, might be found cont
mercially profitable under modern
mining methods.
According to the published state
ment, the first discovery of gold along
the Ballinvally was made in 1876,
when nugget weighing half an ounce
was picked up. News of the discov-
cry spread like wildfre through the
hills and glens of Wicklow, and the
fortune of every inhabitant of the sur
rounding country seemed achieved
The search continued for two months
and at the end OF that time 1855
ounces of pure gold had been found
The government then took over con
/ troll, but operations continued for
several years, yielding on an average
of $4,000 year over long period
The gold found ranged from tiny
atoms to nuggets weighing over i
pound One nugget weighed % ounces
measuring four inches in length b,
three in breadth A gilded plastic
cast of this nugget, which was re
tanned by the finder, has recently beer
placed on exhibition at Trinity Col
