THE ACT OF UNION.

"The Pilot" Of Boston says editor
tally:
$50 much is heard today of that
Union between Ireland and England
that it is well to refer to historians
who have written on the subject. We
select not one who might be preju-
diced in favor of ireland but the
Unionist historian, Lecky. He says
that the measure was an English one,
introduced tprematurely before it had
been demanded by any section of
Irish opinion, carried without q dis.
solution and by gross corruption, in
opposition to the majority Of the free
constituencies and to the great pre-.
ponderance' Of the unbribed intellect
of Ireland These words should con.
vey to those who speak Of Ireland'a
union with England some indication
Of the part Ireland had In coming un.
der English domination. That union
has been apd IL . blemish on the hon.
esty Of Britain and none realize this

The Egyptian Deputation Received.
Saad Pasha Zaghkel, president of
the Egyptian legislative assembly, who
has arrived here at the head of large
representative Egyptian Nationalist
deputation, in an interview said:
1--WE, have confidence in. the spirit
of equity in the conference to grant
us the independence that we demand.
Our delegation has been constituted
for five months, but the British gov
ernment refused us passports.
"The same obstacles were offered to
the Egyptian ministers who desired to
accompany US. The entire cabinet
was dismissed and four arrested and
deported to Malta. The agitation that
you now see then took possession
throughout Egypt.
Voyage 10 Authorized.
Later General Allenby arrived,
and authorized our voyage to, Paris
and to London.
Our object is to make known to the
conference the voice of Egypt, whose
13 100000 inhabitants, forming a per.
fectly homogeneous race, wish to be
independent. The Egyptian move
ment is not religious, anti-foreign or
pan-Arabic. We do not desire to con-
federate with any neighboring coun-
try, and have satisfied the conference
in advance that we will respect all its
decisions relative to the neutrality Of
the Suez canal"

WILL BE HELD At Stages HALL
322 NlcolLET AVE., MONDAY
EVENING, APRIL, 20.
Prot. N. s. Hardiker, Special Delegate
Of India to American Labor
Convention Will Be One
Of the Speakers.

A mass meeting of the Friends Of
Irish Freedom is called for Monday
evening, April %, at Stages Hall, 322
Nicollet Avenue. All friends of the
cause of Ireland which is now ap-
preaching its most critical aspect are
urged to be present So as to make the
rally large and impressive one.
Friends of Ireland here as elsewhere
must feel the impulse that has been
given to the movement by the mar
velous achievement of San Francisco,
which has raised $105,O00 in Its sup
port. This is setting a rapid pace for
1rish-Americans in all other places.
But it is believed that equally sur
prising results may be developed in
other communities as the tide of SEN
timent for the freedom of the mother
land gains momentum in its mighty
progress. It is by no means forlorn
hope-the achievement of Ireland's
independence. On the contrary the
prospect of success brightens as the
days go by. AT the meeting you will
hear many things that are not given
space in the newspapers, that will
cheer and stimulate in the great OBJ.

between England and Ireland is q bad
Joint. In such circumstances is It o.
any real use for the plumber to try
and amend and adjust and straighten

No, he must sever the faulty connec-
tion. That is the only method of pre-
pairing the way for good, sound and
efficient joint.
"'1n other words, the alliance be.
tween England and Ireland has been

"'But, l interjected, If England
granted independence to Ireland,
would there not be civil war be-
tween your people in the south and
Sir Edward Carson's people in the
north?'
"'No, no; think not,' replied the
Sim Fein leader confidently. We
should have but the one desire, name
ly, to share our freedom with them.
They would merely have to make their
choice-to belong to Ireland or to
England. At present they have two
countries and we have none. II they
elected for English nationhood we
would be ready to acquire their vest

would be no serious trouble. But in

about 80 per cent depend upon az
ricllture and industry for their ex-
istence. These workers are paid only
is cents per day, and must toll twelve
hours for that. Not one.half of this
nu1ber get q complete meal a day,
for the cost Of foodstuffs has risen
there as elsewhere to such an extent
as 70 bring the laboring masses down
to abject misery. Periodical famines
claim their victims by the millions,
but Notwithstanding this the Govern
ment imposes an annual tax burden
on the wage earners which takes
away about one-sixth of the annual
perScapita income, which is only $3.50.
The masses are badly housed, badly
clothed, badly doctored, badly taught,
often over-worked and underfed. The
natural results of these conditions are
famines, destructive disease epidem-
les. hopeless Indebtedness, and gen.
eral illiteracy. The appeal of this
land of sorrow and desolation is in
deed compelling to all who are con-
cerned in human welfare. It is
directed in a special manner to the
labor workers of the world, through
which 1t is expected that much can
be done to alleviate the industrial
conditions.
Indian Nationalists are striving to
have the principle of self.determina-
tioh applied to their country. They
point out many ugly features of the
British Indian Code under which they
are governed that initiate against
civil freedom as we'll as against their
material advancement. Secretary
Hardiker will elucidate these topics
at the meeting of April %, and his
presentation of the subject will be
both instructive and interesting to
all.

The Egyptian Nationalist Delegation

Will Sim Fein ENJOYS Be Accorded
Same Privilege?

Paris, April 23.Great Britain's po-
sition in refusing access to Paris and
the conference to the Sim Fein en-
voys becomes untenable on every
ground of logic and fair play in view
of the objects with which she has
permitted the Egyptian delegation to
approach It. This much may be said
without prejudicing the merits of eth.
er case in its desirability or practic.
ability on national grounds.

to- -the-Lord Mayor at the, Mansion
House recently. He was accompanied
by Cathal Brugha, Speaker Of Dali
Eireann. Notwithstanding his ten
months incarceration, Mr.. De Valera,
In appearance, has undergone little
change, and he was in good spirits.
He told number of journalists that
as the Censor would not allow what
he wished to say to appear in the
newspapers, he did not see the use of
making statement. How he had es-
capped from prison and where he had
been since were matters which should
remain secrets for the present.
A Visit to Clare.
He could not, he added, make his
plans public for the present. He
hoped to get into communication with
the people otherwise thar through the
Press, which was closed to him. A,
deputation from Clare, he added, had
called on him with request to visit
Clare. He hoped to do SO at an early
date. Asked il he apprehended any
further attention from the police, ho

AT OHIO MEETING

Gu Gland, Sept. 16.-The miners
strike, now in progress in parts of
the Illinois coal fields and the revo-
cation of the charters Of unions
participating in this strike were
presented TO the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America,
yesterday as moves and counter
moves in plot to gain control of
the United Miners organization by
radical and socialist elements The
strike in Illinois was represented as
a tryout which, if successful, would
extend TO the remainder of the
miners organization of the coal in
dustry, and then to other bodies of
organized labor
This is the first big clash which
the radical element in the conven-
ton developed on the report of the
credentials committee refusing
seats to delegates from 25 local
unions in Illinois which have been
ousted from the United Mine Work
ers of America for participation in
unauthorized strikes. President
Frank harrington of the Illinois
district organization read many
documents to prove that the strike
was an effort tC sweep the miners
of Illinois into an organization
known as the Workers Industrial
international Union, favored by the
Socialist Labor party and read a
circular from the Illinois state COM
mittee of that party to this effect.
