CHANGE OF SENTIMENT

"For the past four days there has been an amazing change of sentiment in cer- tain quarters, under which it is now clear that whatever may be actually done, this much is certain-there is salutary realization at last that millions of Amer jeans, both of Irish blood and of every blood that loves justice, do not intend that Ireland shall be the only small na- ton in Europe condemned to live under foreign odious, oppressive rule.
 "The committee from the Irish race con- vention had finally resolved if, in the end. they were not received at the White House, they would present the following letter to the President, signed by every member:
 ''To the President:
 During the week we have sought through the usual formal channels of communication to arrange with you an interview to present the resolutions adopted by the Irish race convention held at Philadelphia on February 22 and 23
 ".That convection was composed of 5l32 delegates representing all sections of the United States and spoke not only for your fellow Americans of Irish birth or line- age. but also, we are convinced, for many other millions of Americans who believe as we do that the right of self-determi- nation ought to be granted to Ireland as well as to Czecho- -Slovakia, Jugo-Sla- via.

 As to the body of delegates. Senator Knox's criticism was that the constitu- tion contained no provision for their ap- pointment, removal compensation or tenure.

 Senator Knox objected to the executive council because it would be composed Of only ninesof half hundred states and practically would be given the power to declare war, make its own laws. sit as a court and pass judgment and then de- termine the means of enforcing its judg- ments.
 Provisions for the mandatory commis- sion, Senator Knox thought, were indefi- nite as to organization and operation. or the bureau of labor. he asked whether it was the intent to put labor of all countries upon an equality.
 '.If this be the intent. labor of this country may consider, inasmuch as France already has given notice it will be impossible to put French labor on an equality with American, whether it Is proposed to bring American labor to the level of French labor, in order that there may be equitable treatment of the commerce of the two countries Sena- tor Knox said.

figure of $500, 900, and is something that
you could have ascertained readily by
getting in touch with the Tenement
House Department.
''If your criticism of the Tenement
House Department had been that a great
deal of money was being spent and that
the housing of the people was not being
properly safeguarded l would not have
had a word to say. There are bad con-
ditions existing in one and two family
houses as we'll as in tenements. You are
also aware that in great numbers one
family houses are being converted into
studio and bachelor apartments. with
what people who have fought for tener
ment house reform feel is a cynical dis
regard of the safety of the tenants from
fire.
THE tenement house law as it now
exists can take care of these, and there
should be a general housing law having
supervision of anything in which people
are to live II they are to be actually
protected. Judging from the past, 1t is
rather obvious that the real estate in
terests, acting alone, won't do 1t. Indeed,
the fact that your board is not on record
against this particular type OF CONVEX
sion, legal though it may be, together
with the known determination of the
Tenement House Department to make
owners and builders comply with the
law, is apt to make one examine very
closely your reasons for desiring to do
away with the Department.
II trust that the time will come
when you will see that in the last analy-
sis your own interests and those of the
city will be best served not by casting off
the Tenement House Department. but
rather by getting back of movement to
amend the law along the lines indicated.
SO that the people may be clearly safe
guarded as to their health and lives in
the places in which they dwell"
