AS to the Irish hope of indepcnd-
pnca fha preSiHanf SovS.

enCe, the freSlUent says:
My position on the subject of
.self-determination for Ireland is
expressed in Article III. of the
covenant, in which, l may say,
| was particularly interested be-
cause it seemed to me necessary
for the peace and freedom of the
world that forum should be
created 10 which all peoples
could bring. any matter which
was likely to affect the peace and
freedom of the world"
The Irish who oppose the League
of Nations because the question of
the elf-determination of Ireland is
left unsettled are opposing the only
court in which they can obtain a
hearing and the only tribunal to
which they can bring their case.
They are closing the doors to every
form of peaceful intervention by
any foreign government whatever,
which means closing the doors to
every form of Intervention, because
nothing could be more fantastic
than TO suppose that any other gov
ernment is going to war with Great
Britain to settle the Irish problem.
Nobody has done it in the last 700
years and nobody is likely to do it
in the next 700 years.
The League Covenant opens a
door of hope for Ireland. With
this door closed by the rejection of
the covenant Ireland will be left
in the future, as she has been in
the past, absolutely without hope.
What Is true of Ireland is true of
China. For both the League holds
out the promise of relief.
One of the great purposes of the
League is to preserve peace by re-
moving causes of war or causes of
conditions that may disturb the
peace of the world. If then the
League should recommend to an
offending member or to a state out
side of the League policy calcu-
lated to remove the cause of war,
all will agree that the moral effect
of such recommendation by the
League would be most potent and
SOLITARY in its effect, if it did not
entirely remove the cause of dis
content and restore feeling of
friendship and goodwill.

STEEL WORKERS ON STRIKE.

blSoI ueTS, So liluCu IeaFeu DS the
police authorities in the steel strike
zone, were in evidence Monday
night in the Pittsburg district. The.
most serious occurrence was at
New Castle, Pa, fifty miles from
Pittsburg. in which seven persons
were shot ina riot at Carnegie mill
gate. 4
With the exception of small dis
turbance in Clarion in the morn
ing, the opening day of the big
strike, passed in comparative quiet.
With the coming of night, however,
when night shifts were going On
duty, there was disorder reported
from number of places.
During the melee in front of the
zinc plant of the American Steel
and Wire Co: at Donora early Mon
day night one man was shot and
slightly wounded. Several other
persons suffered bruises.
The trouble started when the
crowd attempted to stop an auto
mobile carrying alleged strike
breakers from entering the plant.
The crowd rushed for the car when
it halted, but was driven back when
mill guards succeeded in dispers-
ing the crowd.
Riding into a crowd at the 4th
street entrance of the Carnegie
company'S plant at Homestead af-
ter it had refused to disperse, state
troopers arrested eleven men and
turned them over to the police.
Another outbreak occurred short
ly afterward at Dickson street and
Fourth avenue, Homestead, where
ii large crowd assembled. The
State police charged and it is al
! legged, used their sticks freely. Sew
eral men suffered bruises but none
was seriously hurt.
AT Clarion Monday night State
troops were called to break up a
gathering of steel workers near Il
steel plant. Two arrests were
made and the crowd dispersed.
! Earlier in the day the troopers and
crowd were in a clash, in which
fourteen persons were arrested for
alleged rioting.
Two men were slightly injured
in an outbreak which occurred at
the entrance to the Farrell, Pa,
plant of the American Steel and
Wire company that night during
the change of shifts. The two men
! were attacked by crowd of about
1000 persons while entering the
plant. The trouble was soon Quell-
ed by mill guards and police.
The companies and strikers both
claim the advantages in the strug-
gle of the first day. Secretary Fos-
ter gave out figures based, he said,
on reports received from union
leaders in all steel districts of the
country. indicating that approxim-
atelv 284,O00 men out of the half
million engaged i'm the industry
| answered the strike call. In the
! Pittsburg district alone, he said,
71,O0O men were out.
While company officials refrain
ed from going into figures, their
statements on the situation did not
agree in any particular with the
figures issued by Secretary Foster.
J 1t was claimed in some quarters
that not more than $4,000 workers
in the Pittsburg district answered
the call. 1t was admitted by Off
GERS of the Carnegie Co, the steel
corporations largest subsidiary
that some of the plants were short
handed, but that sufficient men re-
ported on the day and night shifts
to permit all Of its important mills
in the district to operate almost at
one hundred per cent.

A small salute and chaste,
The lipstick that she uses leaves
An unromantic taste.

And add some cheerful hugs,

Nine different kinds of drugs.
SO mine is but a sorry lot.
And mournful is my place.

This stark and rigid frame
And scatter flowers upon my bier
