provisions might be used to stop a
strike or imprison strike leaders
after one had been called. Pointing
to the interruption put on the Lever
act by Federal Judge Anderson in
granting an injunction against the
miners strike, officials at the Amer
lean Federation of Labor say that
court might grant not only the gov
eminent, but privately owned rail
roads an injunction on the ground
that it would be a reasonable effort
to avoid a strike. Railroad men also
say that the Esch bill as it now
stands might be used to force them
into compulsory arbitration, another
instrument to which they object.
"We have studied the Esch bill and
believe it has a joker in it," said
John Scott, secretary of the Railway
employees department Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Gas the
laws are now construed, it might be
used to the disadvantage of the rail
road employees"
In opposing the two bills now for
consideration the railroad union
heads plan to ask postponement of
all efforts to pass railroad leglsla-
ton now and advocate continuation
of federal control for two more years.
In addition to fighting railroad
legislation, union heads will resume
their wage conferences with Direc-
tor General Hines with the demand
that they be given a definite answer
before the roads pass out of govern
ment hands.

in fact, Intoxicating.
Judge Anderson of Boston, and
three judges of the United States

PROHIBITION

Washington, Nov. 29.-Constitu-

the limit of the law, John F. Kramer
new prohibition commissioner, said
today at meeting of the Methodist
board of temperance, prohibition and
public morals.
The army Of prohibition agents will

war time prohibition is likely to re-

mitted, because of an insufficient
force of federal agents.
The prohibition commission pre-
dicted that since prohibition is law,
the American people will demand its
strict enforcement.
Explaining how prohibition will
be enforced, Kramer said:
Responsible for the enforcement
Of the law is the prohibition commits
sioner, who, of course, is responsibel
to the commissioner of Internal reve-
nue.. The country is divided into 10
districts, in each one of which there
will be a federal agent. Under each
agent will be a force of men, de

trict.
"Then in each safe there viii be

Duties of Inspectors.
"The very first steps will be with
the inspectors of the various states.
They viii keep themselves informed
as to conditions in the state, whether
manufacturers are obeyng the law,
whether druggists and physicians are
doing nothing illegal, and whether
any illicit manufacture is going on.
Any violations will be reported to the

of agents to investigate and arrest

viii Fight Passage
Of CuTnmins Bill

Washington, Nov. 29.-Heads of Ia
railroad unions will meet here next
week to plan their fight against the
Cummins and Esch railroad bills now
before Congress.
The gathering of railroad men in
which the heads of the four great
brotherhoods will have a prominent
part will be preliminary to a meet
ing here December ID of the heads
of all international unions affiliated
wiz hthe American Federation OF
Labor. At this meeting the strength
of the entire body of organized labor
so labor leaders asert, will be placed
behind the rail road mems dcclara-
ton of OPPOSITION to the Cummins and
Esch measures, which labor chiefs
saw deny the right to strike.
The Cummins bill, which has been
reported favorably by the Senate in
terstate commerce committee, but
which has not been finally acted
upon by either branch of Congress,
contains specific anti-s'rike pro-
vision. Railroad men have said that
passage of such a measure might
cause the very thing which it seeks
to prohibit.
Present Status Of Esca Bill.
The Esch Bill has passed the House
but has not been considered by the
Senate. AS amended by the House,
ON the insistence of railroad men, the
measure continues in operation the
present system Of voluntary srbl-
tration boards.
Since passage Of the Esch measure
however, railroad men say, they have
found a joker which makes 1T even
more Objectionable to them than the
Cummins Bill. The section which
the railroad me nregard as Joker
reads;

law"
"The great mass of American citi-
zens are law-abiding," continued the
commissioner. "They may not at all
times believe in a certain law, but
so long as the law is upon the statue
books they feel it should be obeyed."

Judge Praises Delegates
Says They Are Men Of Standing and
Ability.

Justice John w. Golf characterized
the men chosen as happy selection.
"They are representative Amer
icans," Justice Golf said. "They have
had broad experience in public at
fairs and they possess the conserva-
tism which the responsibility of Of
flee includes. They are we'll equipped
to perform the important duties in
trusted to them. have full conf
dence in their wisdom and integrity.
"It was a difficult task to select
the men to go to Paris. We had to
have men who could afford to pay the
heavy expenses out of their own peck
cts. They had to be men who were
masters of their own time. They had
to be men of standing, ability and
Americanism. These qualifications do
not always come together"
Justice Golf spoke especially of an
incident in the career of Michael ].
Ryan.
GAS Treasurer of Philadelphia"
said Justice Golf, "he ratified the con-
fidence Of the people in him when he
refused to. accept the perquisites to
which the law entitled him in addi-
ton to his salary. The money
amounted to a commission on the
funds he handled for the city.
"The delegation goes abroad to pre-
sent the American point of view about
Ireland" Justice Golf continued. 1T
will speak for the sentiment of a
great body Of Americans. 1t will go
with the conviction that the Irish
question is one that concerns the
peace of the world, and not domes'
tic one for England.
ut believes, I think, that the Irish
question must be satisfactorily settled
to prevent disturbing conditions here
in America. If Ireland is not granted
it's rights, millions Of Irish sympathiz
ers here will, without doubt, carry
on their activities. That is a posi-
bility the nation doesn't want"

SHARE?

SHARE?
Why don't the youth of Erin's Isle
embrace this world war;
Why don't they go and sacrifice
their lives for Liberty!
Has Britain's brutal treatment made
on them deadly scar.
Or do they know that Britain won't
permit them to be free?
We hear the woes of Belgium adver-
tised from day to day,
Her right to Independence is pro-
claimed from sea to sea;
And all are called to enter in this
worlds bloody fray
That Belgium may regain her
rights, that Serbia may be free!
CHORUS.
So every Race has Rights-EXCEPT
THE IRISH!
Yes, every Race loves fights-except
The Irish!
And every Race will war
Against Kaiser, King and Gear,
Become soldier, ace or tar
Except the Irish, except the Irish!
The Kelles went from Canada to fight
the Turk and Hun,
And many of them fought and fell
ut ok
The Burkes from famed New Zealand
fought until their blood had run,
And all their lives were sacrificed
to serve the British plans.
The Sheas from far Australia went in
legions to the fight
And bravely did their portion to re-
tard the enemy;
They all maintained that Belgium was
fighting for the right,
That nations, one and all, should
now forever more be free!
CHORUS.
So every Race has rights except the
Irish, etc.
And when our own United States de-
clared it would not see
Small nations trampled under foot
by Kaiser or by King,
The Murphys and the Sullivans de-
clared that they would be
The first to fight meath the Stars
and Stripes worlds liberty to

So why don't Ireland do her share as
others have done theirs,
With their Sullivans and Murphys
and brave Kellys, Burkes and
Sheas;
"The Fighting Race" should join the
ranks; the world is unawares
That Ireland fought for Liberty in
these or other days!

Statement OF Ireland'S Case For Freedom
For Submission to the Peace Conference

evidenced in the present deplorable
condition of Ireland is an irrefutable
reminder of deliberate injustice still
being perpetuated by the continuing
effects of that rule aided by fixed pol
icy and administration; that England
is profiting by her injustice to Ire.
land; that England's spirit is un-
changed; and that it is only the per-
sistence of the effects and the profits
renders violently unjust measures .un-
necessary now. In these circumstan-
ces, to attribute Englands hostility to
gaucherie or coincidence, might be
charitable, but would be highly fan
tastic. We charge her before the ma
lions with the supreme crime of will
full destruction of sister nation. We
deny that she has any right to rule
Ireland, we'll or ill. Both on that
ground and on the character of the
rule, we ask the peace congress to
declare England disqualified and un.
fit to rule Ireland.
ireland claims recognition and in
tervention by the peace congress,
restitution and reparation by England,
and an international guarantee for
her future security. Every section of
this statement which shows Ireland
being treated as a victim country en-
forces this particular claim on
grounds of justice and morality as
we'll as of international law. Several
of the facts revealed makes interven-
tion incumbent under that law as a
duty on civilized states. Of this char
acter is the policy of determination,
That policy imposes on the Irish a
duty of resistance even when there is
no prospect of success. The indefinite
continuance of such an unequal and
deadly struggle is, in many respects,
most undesirable condition to al
low. AS it ought not to be borne by
the victim nation, neither ought it to
be tolerated by nations which hold
that such victimization is breach of
international law and danger to in
ternational peace. The outrage is ag-
gravated and the danger not lessened
by the plea that the victimization of
one nation by another is a domestic
concern of the latter with which other
countries have no right to interfere.

line of steamships from calling at an
Irish port in 1918, and by the fact
that now, under direct English rule,
most of Ireland's harbors are empty
and have no commerce. The neces.
sary liberty to engage in commerce is
one Of the most important of our OBJ
jects after independence itself; be-
cause, favorably situated as we are,
we look with confidence to a great
commercial future for an Independent
Ireland, and to a considerable rev.
enue from that source. Ireland's geo.
graphical position makes its freedom,
while vital to itself, important for
other countries also. A powerful
state intolerant of free commerce in
y country subject to it would, in fav-
'able circumstances, be equally in
Slerant of any commerce but it's own,
and is capable of using the geograph-
zeal position of Ireland, in conjunction
with other strategic points in her pos
session, to the detriment and danger
of all international commerce. The
freedom of the seas would then be an
idle dream. The sovereign indepen-
dence Of Ireland is essential to make
it reality.
10. England is disqualified and un-
fit to rule Ireland This is abundant
ly demonstrated by every section of
this statement, as by every govern
ment act of England over Ireland.
Unconstitutional and criminal as that
record is, it is not of government
we complain, but of foreign rule, what
ever it's character. Its bad character
is only secondary evidence for us; but
it is primary evidence against Eng
land. England first established her
colonial parliament in Ireland; made
it the most corrupt assembly that ever
bore the name; made it a fit instru-
ment for enforcing penal laws against
religion and civilization and for keep
ing the colonists and the nation at
permanent enmity; made it a classic
exhibition of the futility of subord-
mate parliament for any legitimate
purpose; and when, under popular
pressure, the parliament showed a
tendency to amalgamate, ttused it to
commit suicide. In the histo1 TIL the
subsequent relations between the two
countries, since ameliorative legisla
ton began to be talked of, it is the
uniform experience admitted by ali
English as we'll as Irish, that the one
thing that can always be predicted
with certainty of any English meas
ure for Ireland-other than a coercive
measures that it will be bad in it
self, or spoiled by it's limitations, Of
by something hateful accompanying

instance has this rule been departed
from. In the case of any other coun
try, this phenomenon might be attrih
uted to unfortunate coincidence. Blu
