Prison Governor Said Sim Feiners
Could Have That Kind Of
Freedom.

The following dispatch, by George
Selden, appeared in the Philadelphia
Press, and is dated Dublin, Noyem.
ber l.:
The gates of Mountjoy Prison have
opened for AZ Irish Republicans They
have won their hunger strike. But the
price of victory has been violence and
suffering approaching death.
Every day weak, pinch-faced and
hairy men are leaving the hospitals
some to go into hiding, others to join
their comrades if health again permits
the struggle for their ideals of Irish
freedom. Today several told me the
story of brutality and martyrdom,
which is considered another bright
chapter in Sim Fein's history.
Every prisoner came TO Mountjoy
charged with political crime, and as
such was entitled to the privileges of
writing and receiving mail packages
from friends which are denied the
breakers of moral and common law
But very soon they found themselves
held In the strictest incommunicado
For weeks they didn't receive a word
from the outside world, nor were they
allowed to utter sound when passing
their fellow prisoners at an ordered
distance of three feet in the two-hour
daily walk in their barbed wire cage.
Grown desperate, Sinn Feiners by
common accord decided to strike for
their rights, guaranteed by prison law
for themselves, and more especially
for the thousands of political prison
ers they knew would follow them be.
fore peace settles upon Ireland. In
October began the racket strike"
Theatre-goers, who remember Jack
Barrymore's portrayal of the convict
going mad in Galsworthy's play, Gus
tice," will appreciate It. For six days,
from eleven in the evening to six In
the morning they beat the walls of
their prison bars, ratified chains,
changed handouts and threw dishes to
the floor until Mountjoy echoed with
hellish din to which the convicts of
the other wings added the cursing and
bowling of an indescribable madhouse.
Attacked With a Hose.
Governor Charles Monroe, a former
British official in India, tried to break
the racket strike, but his warders
found they couldn't enter the cells
without overpowering the Sim Fein.

some holes in the walls and had Joined

their compatriots by twos and threes,
five to one, the wardens attacked
them, beating most of the Sim Fem
ers into submission. A terrific battle
took place In the cell of Lawrence
Brady, who fought five wardens two
and half hours. Later they finally
knocked a hole in the side of the wall
and attacked Brady with a high-pres.
sure hose.
AT first the Irishman was knocked
down, but he seized the nozzle and
crushed it. Half an hour later the
wardens turned on new hose and
beat Brady to the floor unconscious
Meanwhile the cell of Francis Gala.
CHER, one of the heads of the Sim
F,ein headquarters, was filled with
water an inch deep. His bedding was
soaked and, though innocent of
Brady's action, he was forced to walk
or stand in the water handcuffed for
two days.
But the strike accomplished it's pur-
pose of disrupting the prison. Even the
cooking stopped. Serious disorders
were feared. The governor decided to
scatter the AZ throughout the Irish
prisons. Afraid that their cause was
thus lost, the Sim Feiners went on q
hunger strike, four, including Gala
CHER, disdaining water. They were
the strongest and didn't want to es-
cape equal suffering with the others.
The hunger strike followed the re-
lease Of Lawrence Grinnell, member
of Parliament for West Meath, aged
20, and John O'Reilly, aged 65.
"You Are Free to Die"
These brave old men would have
felt insulted," said Gallagher, III denied
the chance to risk their lives with us.
They surely would have died. Fortu-
nately their terms were up in a few
days SO we awaited their release.
From the 18th to the 18th we tasted
no food and, weak from our confine-
ment and brutalities, began to col
| lapse. The governor called one day
to inspect us. Give us freedom we
asked. You're free to die,' he replied.
"On the 10th and subsequent days
he began sending us to the hospital.
Many went by stretcher. Some fear
broken health forever"
Among the freed Sim Feiners are
DR.. Eimonn OKelly, of the Rebellion
of 1916 fame, and Patrick O'Keefe,
Parliamentarian from North Cork,
who is serving 18 months on a charge
of seditious speaking. O'Kelly lost
20 pounds in prison and spent more
than week in the hospital.

K. of C.Endin@ Camp York

The knights of Columbus Commit
tee on War Activities met yesterday
at the Hotel Commodore and discussed
the order of the War Department TAX
ing over the war relief work that has
been carried. on by various agencies.
The order went into effect yesterday.
The committee at the conclusion of its
meeting made this statement.
"The Knights of Columbus protest
ed against the War Departments or.
der to withdraw all war work agen.
cies in home camps by November 1.
But at the time we made our protest
we stated that we would of course
abide by the War Departments or
ders. We have not changed our atti-
tude, neither have we changed our
opinion that relief work of the ma
ture conducted by the Knights of
Columbus in the camps is more effica-
ciously conducted by civilian than by
military agency, and It is an estab-
lished fact that relief work under
civilian auspices is preferred by the
soldier.
"Of course, in conformity with the
War Departments order, the Knights
of Columbus are Withdrawing from the
camps, leaving only such workers as
are necessary to complete the winding
up of our affairs in each camp. We
have received many communications
from camp officers regretting our de.
parture. We shall cheerfully cooper
ate with the War Department in its
effort to initiate relief and recreation
al work, and our personnel in the
camps has been placed at the War De
partment's disposal"

go on record in their fight against the
menace of Bolshevism," said Mr.. Lar

100 men led by Col. Howland have
been fully equipped for their work in
Poland by the knights. We have
supplied them with uniforms, shoes,
socks, caps, blankets, leather jenkins,
woolen wear and supplies. They have
called themselves The Casey Platoon
When Mr.. Mulligan found out that
Col. Rowland was going to fight with
the brave Poles, he informed the
American officer that the Knights

and shoes, we have sent enough cigar

other gifts to last the men all through

Mr.. Mulligan in his message also
stated that an old-fashioned New Eng

Problems.

Various reports have been published
concerning the meeting of Dali

Republic, which took place In Dublin

was issued by the British some time
ago "suppressing' Dali.
The best account of the meeting

their ears intent. Dahl Eireann. the Re.

for today, was automatically post.
