SEES GOOD TO COME
FROM CONFERENCE

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-The Indus
trial Conference at Washington was
far from being a failure, despite the
fact that it broke up in disagree
ment, according to Thomas l.. Chad
burne, chairman of the .big general
committee, and one OF the group
representing the public at the con-
ference. Mr.. Chadbourne, who is a
corporation lawyer, returned here to-
day. He said in part:
Actually the group representing
the public contained more employers
than did the other, and, with the ex
ception of Judge Gary, there was not
a single man representing the public
who was not for collective bargaining
with employees through representa-
tives picked either outside or inside
the shop.
II have no doubt that one result of
the conference will be that the pres
ent movement toward shop councils
will grow rapidly. II the United
States Steel Corporation had had
shop councils, fairly administered, so
that men really elected with a secret
ballot, the representatives they want
ed and whose representatives had
real representation as in the Inter-
national Harvester Company, she

try would not have been brought

freedom, Ireland, which has not had
one years peace since greed and plum
der brought foreign power amongst
US 700 years ago, is being tortured and
harassed by that alien rule to point
of evaporation which has become al
most unbearable. In their insane at
tempts to extinguish the unquenchable
fire of patriotism they have given us
martial law for government and turned
our country into prison.
Every other day we have to witness
the sickening sight of noblehearted
young men, and even women, being
hauled off in handouts to Jail for the
most trivial offenses. And while they
thus trample on Ireland at home they
sit amongst the nations in peace
conference demanding self-determina-
ton as sacred right for all peoples,
even for the colored races.
We protest against this shameless
hypocrisy. We demand justice for our
country, and we claim it at the inter-
national tribunal whose Office and op-
portunity it now is to do universal
justice and abolish the forcible subju.
cation of peoples all over the world.

Ger'many's Hopes
Based on Ulster
English Paper Says That The Ulster
Agitators With All The Support Of
The TrucuIent Unionist Press Gre
ated The DebacIe in Europe.

Commenting on an article in the
Nineteenth Century," written by a
Unionist, the trend of which is to cah
on his party not to forget the Cove
nant movement in Ulster in 1914, the
Manchester Guardian" says:
"But what possesses him to imagine
that anyone, in view of what has hap.
pened since, can ever forget the Ulster
conspiracy to rebel? People are not
always talking about it, but its Ger
man arms and its orators strange
occasional boasts Of possible recourse
to German aid are not things that can
be forgotten. Nor, with semi-active
or passive rebellion widespread
through the rest of Ireland, are we
likely to forget the example that il
being followed.
! 1T is not yet known exactly how
far the German Governments hopes
of an Ulster rebellion contributed to
bring the war upon Europe at the
moment when it came. It is only
known how closely the situation was
followed by German agents on the
spot; but we hope it will not be long
before the whole relation between the
two events is investigated and ascer-
tanned. Even If such an interest be
now chiefly historical, the first mod
ern British essay in lawlessness is of
living interest in Europe which the
later developments of lawlessness
threaten to submerge.
"a Bad Example for Europe"

of government whether they like them
or not. It is not exactly moment
when the tremendous assault made on
this habit by the Ulster agitators in
1914, with the support Of all the giddy
part of the Unionist press in England,
and the open applause Of crowd Of
foolish people of fashion in London,
! is likely to be forgotten.
Were anyone inclined to forget it
he would not find it easy. For whoever
wants to break the law in Ireland,
England or anywhere else appeals now
to sUlster's' example. The private

THE COMMITTEE OF THE JEWISH
DELEGATION OF THE PEACE
CONFERENCE.
By Leo Wolfson.

Now that the committee of the Jew
ish delegation to the Peace Confer
ence have filled their memorandum
OF demands, and their work is prac-
tically completed, and they are simply
watching and waiting for develop
ments and for the realization of their
objects, it may be of interest to give
a brief survey of the organization and
the many difficulties they have en-
countered.
To begin with, the Jewish delegates
have arrived little late. Much i'm
portant work could have been done by
way of publicity and organization had
they come at the time the peace con-
ference opened. They came struggling
in slowly, singly, and much time was
lost.
With the arrival of the American
Congress Delegation, with usual Am
erican efficiency methods things be-
gan to move and some sort Of an eff
fort was made to get all the delegates
together.
At the first conference there were
present delegates from America, Eng
land, Italy, Poland, Checko-Slovaka,
Western Galicia, Roumania, Russia,
Constantinople, Palestine, Ukrainia,
Jugo Slavia, Lithuania, and Represen-
tatives Of the Zionist Organization.
The first session was very solemn
and impressive. There was something
even of the tragic when the various
delegations related to each other the
difficulties they had encountered in
getting to Paris, and also the manner
in which they were chosen as repre-
sentatives of the various Jewish COM
munities. By common consent the
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-07-18

demand national and minority rights.
The conference desired to unite with
them and present single memoran-
dun embracing the unanimous de-
mand Of the Jewry Of the world. When
Mr.. Marshall came he insisted that
every effort be made to get the other
two factions in. A series of diplomatic
moves were then made which resulted
in joint conference Of all the ele-
ments which was held at the Concis-
toire in Paris, and which lasted for
two days. Although each side defend
ed brilliantly its views and memoir.
able addresses were made by Wolff,
Montefiore, See, Mack, Marshall, So
kolow and others, and although for
moment there existed a possibility Of
Union, in the last moment the Zionist
fatty refused to surrender the elimin-
alton Of the use of the word national"
from the demands, and the union was
not consummated A deal was however
made, that although each Of the three
factions would work independently,
neither would directly oppose the eff
forts of the others.
The conference then started upon its
real work Of formulating the Jewish
demands in the true National Jewish
Spirit. It was a Jewish gathering i'll
every sense of the word. II just hap
pened that the various delegates were
men Of great learning and ability and
some of them causists with remark
able talents or augmentation. Every
proposition was discussed, rediscussed
amended, re-amended, considered
and then re-considered, and when it
reached its final form, there was little
left Of the original form and some
times even Of the original intention.
To some Of the delegates it seems now
that a miracle has happened that
something concrete has come out Of
all these talks and discussions which
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-07-18

sometimes lasted from the early hours
of the afternoons until the early hours
Of the morning. 1t must be under
stood, that all was done in a sincere
spirit, and with the evident intent of
contributing their utmost to the solu-
ton Of the various problems. The
practical effect however was an aw-
full loss Of time. 1t could have been
done much more quickly and perhaps
more effectively had there not been
so many brilliant minds paradoxically
as the statement may appear.
OF course the American delegation
contributed much to the entire confer
ence. Judge Mack, although as the
chairman was rather lax and hardly
used his powers as chairman in our
sense-which was no doubt due to his
efforts to please everybody, gave
much untiring work. Mr.. Marshall's
great ability and forcefulness will be
remembered with delight by many
Colonel Cutler, and Barondess, have
simply won the hearts of the dele
gates the first one by his big heart
edness and practical mind, and the
other by his charming personality. Mr..
Richards has rendered immense and
valuable service in the carrying out
Of the practical details Of the con-
ference, and in the organization of the
office work. Rabbi Leventhal inspir-
ed great respect. Mr.. Syrkin and Mr..
Benedict, in their own way and repre-
senting their own point Of view have
contributed much to gain for the
American delegation, the high regard
of the other delegates. The American
delegation, has suffered much loss in
prestige however, and have in their
own way lost many opportunities for
effective work, because they had no
money. The Congress has given man.
