were shot and killed and so persons
injured.
The plant has been closed down and
It is said no attempt will be made to
resume operations for several days.
More than $50 shots were fired in
the battle, the guards relying chiefly
on their rifles. Eye witnesses say the
strikers appeared to be armed chiefly
with clubs and rocks. None of the
guards was wounded by bullets, so far
as known.
$50 Refuse to Strike.
The shooting was the climax of a
day of tension for the village of Argo
where employees who had been recent
ly organized by the Federal union, an
auxiliary OF the International Union Of
Soft Drink Workers, declared strike,

had refused to join the walkout, re-
mained at the plant. Federal union

$500 employees were organized. Com
pany officials say only 800 were or.
ganized.

band and paraded through the streets
of Argo, waving American flags and
wearing buttons on which were In.

time with picketing the fence. Miss
Elizabeth Horgan, official nurse for the
company, was seen driving toward the
plant in an automobile. The strikers
began throwing stones. The car had
an inclosed top. All the windows we're
broken.
They surrounded the car and Miss
Horgan was subjected to taunts and
gibes, she says. Some of the strikers
had assumed menacing attitudes, ac-
cording to witnesses, when Charles 10.
hannes, chief Of the company's police
force, came to her assistance. He was
pelted with stones and suffered scalp
bruises. but conducted Miss Horgan
to safety.
A majority of the 1900 employees
of the company's plant at Pekin went
on strike when the time limit to &C

expired.

Prevent House Reaching Vote On
Bill to Enforce National
Prohibition.
LIMIT SET TO DEBATE
While Special Rule Adopted Allows
Only Twelve Hours for Considers-
tion Final Action May Not Be
Taken This Week.

Washington, July 10.-By adopting,
235 to SO, special rule for immediate
consideration of prohibition enforce
ment legislation, the house indicated
sufficient votes to enact the bill with
out the IL hours of general debate al
lotted members anxious to speak for
and against it's passage.
But, despite its big majority and
the promise by Chairman Volstead of
the Judiciary committee that all of
the time set aside may not be used,
indications were that vote on the
bill itself would not be reached this
week Every effort was made by anti
prohibitionists to delay consideration
by claims of no quorum, demands for
roll calls and by forcing the reading
of the printed text of the bill.
Dilatory Tactics Charged.
All these attempts at delay were
accepted with good grace by the ma
jority until Representative SABBATH OF
Illinois and Representative Caldwell
Of New York, both Democrats, brought
a protest from members who declared
they were endeavoring by dilatory tac-
tics to slow up the proceedings Less
than two of the II hours for debate
had been used when the house ad-
jourHed, to resume consideration
Thursday.
No attempt was made to split the
bill to take out the first part relating
solely to enforcement of wartime pro-
hibition with a view to its early pas
sage. This will be done later, and
while members fighting for modifica.
tion or repeal of the wartime act
are hopelessly in the minority, they
announce their determination to keep
on fighting until the whole question
of enforcement legislation was settled
In the house.
Voistead Makes Speech.
The principal speech in support of
the Judiciary committees report was
made by Chairman Volstead, who de-
clared he did not belong to the Anti
Saloon league, and had never made a
prohibition address. Present day con-
ditions showed the need of enacting
additional legislation, the chairman de-
clared because of the attempt to set
the wartime act at naught by dealers
selling ga per cent beer. For an hour
| or more the chairman stood, as a
smiling target, while anti-prohibition
members interrupted him time with
out number Frequently the house
was in an uproar.

Signal Church honors

St. Peter Church in San Francisco
is the first church in the United States
to extend the rubrical courtesies due
to the Catholic head of a sovereign
people.
Eamonn De Valera, president of the
Irish republic, took his position on
the gospel side of the sanctuary in
St. Peter church during the solemn
High Mass on Sunday, July 20. He was
attended by a military guard of honor
selected from the League Of the Cross
Cadets, and was assisted by Revs
Morris O'Keefe and Robert O'Connor
acting as his chaplains.
Scarcely ever in the history of the
Catholic church in the United States
has layman been accorded the rare
honor paid to President De Valera in
Father Peter c. York's church. The
president occupied the seat of honor
in the sanctuary, and the book from
which the gospel had been read was
carried to him and he kissed it..
Throughout the ceremony the priests
on the altar paid the same ceremonial
homage to De Valera which in ac-
cordance with the ritual of the Mass
they pay to the celebrant or to princes
of the church when they are present
on the altar.

RING REFERENCE ToO OP-
PoNENTS OF TREATY..
SENATOR DID NOT
ATTEND THE HEARING, BUT
DOES NOT HESITATE TO
CONDEMN THE FINDINGS
OF THE COMMITTEE.

Washington, Sept. S.-By the adop-
tion of the reservation to Article
X of the League of Nations Covenant,
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee has proclaimed its attitude to-
ward the Irish Question and estab-
lished the storm center, around which
the controversy will rage in the Sen
ate. A majority may be mustered to de-
feat the textual amendments to the
peace treaty recommended by the COM
mittee, and the other three reserva-
tions may be adopted with the help of
some Democrats and mild reservation
lists on the Republican side; but the
outcome of the fight hangs upon Arti-
Gle x, which the President regards as
the foundation stone of the league.
Administration leaders have not al
together lost hope of defeating the
reservation relating to this article.
Among the mild reservationists there
is talk of modifying it to make it less
drastic. In this connection the influ-
ence of the great number of Americans
who sympathize with Ireland is being
carefully weighed. That it Is to be
reckoned with is evident from the fact
that it was discussed by the President
and his Senate spokesman, Senator
Hitchcock, on the eve of his departure
for the swing around the circle. Evil
IDENTIFY the administration rests its
hope for success not little upon the
conclusion that only certain element
of 1rish-Americans are actually hostile
to Article X, and that many of them
will support the treaty for other rea-
sons.
Against this conclusion may be bal
anced the following statement, issued

President De vaIera's Expose Of "Do
minion Home RuIe.'

The Interior motives behind Eng
lands new campaign against the Irish
Republic are laid bare in a statement
by President Eamonn De Valera. In
speech at Belfast last week, Carson
asserted that Colonial home rule" was
the same thing as Sim Fein. OF this,
President De Valera says:
The term colonial home rule as
applied to British measures for Ire
land is term purposely chosen to
deceive primarily the peoples Of Can
ada, Australia, New Zealand, etc
that is what are called the self-gov-
erning dominions of Britain-but also
those who might not yet be politically
wide awake in Ireland. If by colonial
home rule is meant a paper constitu-
tiop as wide as the constitutions
which these dominions have, l would
answer:
First, that England will never con-
sent to such wide constitution for
Ireland and, therefore, it is waste
of time and worse to discuss it. If
England, secondly, intended any such
constitution for Ireland she could pass
it as easily as she passed her coercion
acts.

IN AMERICA failure
Distribution of Lies About ireland
Condemned by Belfast Journal.

Belfast, Ireland. Sept. 6.-The Bel
fast Examiner, listers leading news
paper, gives prominence to the follow
ing dispatch from London:
Much has been heard about recent
revelations of secret documents made
by the German Republican Govern
ment. Nothing issued from Weimar or
Berlin could possess tithe of the
public interest that would be taken in
the communications from British
agents at Washington and New York
to the Foreign Office in London if it
were possible to publish them.
The situation in the United States
is becoming more serious every day
for England. Excited journalists
who are willing to write any quantity
of 'propagandist' literature themselves
at reasonable rate per thousand
words clamor hoarsely for the initia-
tion of something like a regular Eng
lish State Department to operate on
an extensive and unprecedented scale
upon American public opinion; but l
believe the wiser and cooler English
men in the United States are throwing
buckets of cold water on the proposal.
"They explain that Americans look
on these 'propagandist' exercises with
feelings OF distrust and contempt. The
American people are at once enthusi-
astic and wide-awake. They may be
deluded for short time, but they are
proof against obvious attempts to be-
fool them by methods with which they
are perfectly familiar. America has,
in fact, made up it's mind on the issue
between England and Ireland, and the
English observers on the spot are tell
ing the chiefs at home that the time
for doing something more than spend
ing millions on the distribution Of
stuff like Ian Hays lies cannot be
safely deferred.
'Mr. Lloyd George is beset by a
thousand difficulties of his own crea-
tion-and it is satisfactory to know
that the Irish question is the most
dangerous and, in some respects, the
most pressing Of his well-deserved

SISTERS SELL CONVENT.

Negotiations for the sale of the
property of the Convent of the Wis.

of the landmarks of the capital, were
completed last week. The property,
comprising an entire square, was sold
for 100000. 1t was acquired by the
Sisters in 1867. At that time it was
on the outskirts of this city, not far
from the British embassy.
It is the intention of the purchas'

Dominion Home Rule Is a
Scheme to Deceive Says
EamOnn De Valera

"And, secondly, that even with such
a paper constitution Ireland could
never enjoy the freedom which these
dominions possess for the simple rea-
son that Ireland is not yet that five
hundred miles further distant from
Britain which George Washington
wrote would speedily and materially
change for the better the case of
Ireland with respect to Britain
Canada and Australia are free SIM
ply because they are so far away that
it would be dangerous for England to
try to make her will prevail against
theirs. 1t might lead to another Bos-
ton tea party.
when English statesmen and poll
ticians, like Sir Edward Carson, use
the term colonial home rule, they do
not mean that degree Of government
which the British dominions possess
but something very different from
that. The term is used because it
helps to confuse and raise false is
sues in the public mind.
British Law Not Binding.
81 agree with Sir Edward Carson
certainly on two points: First, that
all sections of Irishmen are entitled
to resist British law, because British
law is not morally binding, it is no
law at all in Ireland. Every 1rishman
is justified in resisting British made
law.
1T is quite wrong to say that Sir
Edward Carson is traitor to Eng
land. Sir Edward Carson can be
guilty of treason to no country but
to Ireland.
"Sir Edward Carson asserts his
Irish citizenship. No 1rishman has
any fault to find with him for that.
