J. P, presiding.
Major Mccormack, Omagh, Presi.
dent Ulster Farmers Union, said agri-
cultural interests were neglected in the

necessitated higher wage to the la
borers, to whom they all wished we'll
in the future; but if high wages were
to be paid profit must be made out
of the land.
Mr.. A. S. Tough, J. p, Killeshandra,

organized and in a position to strike,
there was no practical and sensible de-
mand of theirs that would not be con-
ceded. He critized the control of the
!. A. o. S., and said the movement,
which should be a strong one, was
comparatively weak.
