u. S. Labor Delegates
Brand Berne Congress
"Cern,0y,-Made'' affair

PARIS, Feb. (By The Associated
Press) The American Federation of
Labor delegation, headed by Samuel
Gompers, said tonight that they had
refused to attend the international la
Dor conference at Berne because the
delegation had been instructed bv sew
eral of the American labor organiza-
tons to present their demands to the
peace conference. which already has
IN view international legislation prof.
sects and is not likely to be influenced
by the Berne convention
Ihe statement asserts the belief that
tho proposals of the Berne conference
VIII be German made" and points out
that German labor has the right to
"r.Senv it's demands at the final peace
table.
The American labor delegates indi-
cate there is a possibility of meeting
the German delegates after the signing
OF the peace treaty, but that mean
while they will work with the peace
conference, and that the International
Labor Committee will summon an inter-
Allled conference at Paris of organiza-
tlons not represented at Berne.
Charles Edward Russell and William
English Walling, speaking in behalf Of
the Social Democratic League Of the
United States, gave out statement to-
day in which they said:
AS delegates of our organization
we decline to go to Berne because,
despite the pretension that the worlds
laboring classes are represented there
its principal movers are those in ali
countries who tried to cause peace
when it would have meant the tri-
umph of imperialism and the ruin of
the working class democracy.
"We believe that the Berne Con-
ference is designed by Germany to
redeem her from military defeat and
avoid the payment of just indena-
nifty by intrigue and secret diplomacy"

Sim Fein Expected
To Use Irish Strike
as Trouble Prefeat
By F. A. Wray
Neic York Tribune

Copyright. 1919 New York Tribune Incl
LONDON, Feb. 4--There is a likely
possibility of the Sim Feincrs taking
advantage OF the embarrassment caused
by the Belfast strike and creating
trouble on their own account. Accord
ing to Dublin messages received to-
day. the chief point of dissatisfaction
at the present moment is the govern
ment's unwil}ingncss to release Sim
Feln prisoners, thirty of whom recent
~ were elected members of Parlia-
ment. Some of them already have
served nine months, and the political
and industrial sections are joining
hands on the issue "Release prisoners
and grant the forty hour week"
Has Red Programme
Added to this the entire power Of the
labor side Of the movement has passed
to the Connollyites, whose programme
is indistinguishable from Bolshevism.
If their intentions materiaize the posi-
ton of the government undoubtedly
will be made difficult. because the
situation in Belfast is rapidly going
from bad to worse, wholesale bur
glarles being common and rowdyism
general.
1t was reported to-day that tanks and
armored cars were en- route to Belfast.
On the Clyue the situation IS rapidly
improving, 60 per cent of the strikers,
1t is estimated, having returned to
work.
London Strike Unpopular
London, which is more dependent
than any other city in the world upon
underground railways, was reduced to
the depths of Inconvenience yeste erday
by the surprise strike of motormen,
which brought to a standstill the whole
electric tube system of the city, with
the exception of one line.
Hundreds of thousands of those
hurrying to business found themselves
confronted by walks amounting some
times to seven and eight miles, with
the same prospect awaiting them in the
evening.
Their resentment, especially on the
part of women, against the offending
strikers was unbounded. The piteous
appeals of the conductresses on the in
frequent omnibuses met scant SYM
pathy. The lucky few who gained ad-
mission to these looked all the worse
for their struggles.
The strike was the consequence of
The omission Of a half hour lunch period
in the recently conceded eight hour
day. Although the strikers were asked
70 wait a few days, pending the result
of conference, they preferred to take
matters in their own hands, defying
their union leaders, with the result
that an enraged public is encouraging
the railway authorities to fight out the
matter to the bitter end

COBLENZ, Feb. (By The Associa-
ted Press).-A limited number of Of
ticers and enlisted men of the army of
occupation will have an opportunity to
visit Berlin through the Inauguration
soon Of daily courier service be-
tween this city and the capital.

by an officer and the trip will be
made by express trains between Co.
logne and Berlin, the running time be-
ing about twelve hours. Cologne is
about two hours from Coblenz.
