BRITISH CRITICALOF
POLICY IN IRELAND
Attitude of the Government
Toward Sim Fein Regarded

CoDvriohf 1919 oU riobte reser,,sd

LONDON, Sept. 15.-Public opinion Of
the recent events In Ireland, based upon
calm, dispassionate consideration as ex-
pressed by newspapers and individuals,
severely criticises the policy of the Gov
eminent. Even those who bitterly OPP
pose the Sim Fem characterize the use
of the iron fist as useless and provoca-
tive. Those who investigated conditions
in Ireland this week end assert the Gov
ernment's raids had but one virtue
They were absolutely impartial.
At one village In County Antrim police
visited every house and insisted upon
searching for seditious literature. Among
others they ransacked the home of one
woman who is n near relative of a
Unionist member OF Parliament but was
suspected of sympathizing with the Sim
Feinera The humorous result Of their
search was the discovery of nothing
more seditious than reports of recent
speeches by Sir Edward Carson, the
Ulster leader.
The population of this particular dis
trict of County Antrim is equally divided
between Catholics and Protestants.
The latter are exceedingly angry and say
the Government by its actions is manu-
featuring Sim Feiners. They assert that
II the raids are a sample of the Irish

prising that Irishmen of all factions re-
gard 1t with contempt. Anyth ing less
calculated to attain the Government s
end, even If seditious literature were
found, they insist, would be difficult 10
imagine.
1t is reported that in the west OF

COUNCIL FEARS NEW
CHAOS IN HUNGARY
With the ,Rumanians Leaving
Abruptly Danger of An
archy Looms.
Bn The Assocfafed Pr.s,

PARIS, Sept. 15.--The Hungarian situ-
alton is causing the Peace Conference
considerable uneasiness, as the Rumani-
ans are reported to DO about to with
draw from Hungary hurriedly without
giving the Budapest Government an op;
portunity TO organize a police force.
The Rumanians disbanded all sorts of
military and police forces In Hungary
end as consequence there may be great
disorder throughout the country.
The Peace Conference has not asked
the Rumanians to withdraw completely.
IN fact 1t has urged them to leave suffl-
Client forces to guarantee order, pend
ing Hungary's establishment of some
sort of protection, to prevent reversion
to Bolshevism and disturbances.
The Peace Conference makes It clear
that Rumania will be responsible for
whatever disorder may occur in Buda-
pest and other parts of Hungary If It
ignores the request of the conference to
leave limited force In the capital and
surrounding districts, where the extrem-
lists are awaiting an opportunity to bring
about chaos
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau had O satisfactory conference to-
day on the subject of Syria. A tempo
rary arrangement was reached for the
regulation of the situation, and was
approved by the Supreme Council. 1t
will remain in force until the United
States is ready to deal with the whole
question of the future status of Turkey.
The agreement between the British
and French Premiers on the Syrian
question provides for an extension Of the
territory the French are to occupy as
far as the line claimed by Prince Fei-
sal, King OF HedJaz, excepting Aleppo
and Damascus.
The French have consented to send
troops from Alexandretta to Armenia to
protect the Armenians from the Turks
but because of the difficulty of travel II
is not known how soon they can arrive,
The general opinion, voiced by TN off,
cial of the British delegation, is that
the conference will sit ten days longer
and then adjourn for vacation OF
twenty days. 1t is learned in other
quarters that the French and American
| delegations are opposed to adjournment
but that the British are insistent.

Gil is not yet officially appointed but

Grove will take his seat. Lord Miner

days, are reported 20 be unwilling &c

There is a feeling in French confer.

prompted by the desire to remove the

5000 SHIpWORKERS
BARRED FROM JOBS
Employers Refuse to Take
Back Men Who Left at
Noon Saturday.

Shipyard owners made good yesterday
their promise to discharge workers who
quit work at noon on Saturday with
the idea OF obtaining the forty-four
hour week by the simple expedient Of
, working only forty-four hours.
Several thousand men who tried to
return to the yards yesterday morning
were barred and the employers set about
hiring others to take their places. The
international Association of Machinists
figures that about 5000 men are out.
The shipyard proprietors say that is
an exaggeration. The union programme
is to be discussed at q meeting to be
held at IL o'clock this morning at s
Nevins street. Brooklyn. Sympathetic
strikes of others than the machinists
have been proposed.
Most of the yards affected are in
Brooklyn. Harry A. Hamburg, assis-
tant general manager of the Morse Dry
Dock and Repair Company. said that
SIS of the 400 employees at the yard
walked out on Saturday and were not
permitted to return. The union leaders
said that more than 1000 men were
locked out at the Morse yard.
OF the 1000 men reported out at the
yard of James Shewan & Sons 700 were
working on transports and Shipping
Board vessels at the army base, foot of
Fifty eighth street. In behalf of the
firm it was said that some other work
ers had quit in support of the machin-
lists. The union estimate of the num-
bert of men on strike at the Tebo Yacht
Basin was 1900; both this and the
Shewan yards were said to be pretty
well tied up. Launching of a naval oil
barge was delayed at Tebo's.
An officer of the Robins Dry Dock and
Repair Company, which has a large yard
on Erie Basin, said 1900 men had been
discharged for walking out on Saturday.
The strikers said the number was nearer
5000. The normal force is 5000.
A few of the yards took back the men
who reappeared for work yesterday
Among these the w. ]. Gokey Company

of the 5000 employees were working az

predicted a general strike. George G.
Raymond, president of the company, said
the employees had been literally treated
and that their act in walking out when
their services were needed had auto
matically discharged them.

ing and were taken back.
