TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-General Patrick Egan, one of the founders of the home rule movement in Ireland and former United States minister to Chile, died at the home of his daughter to- night after an illness of several weeks.
 Born in County Longford, Ireland, August 13, 1S41, General Egan became an influential business man in Dublin. From iboyhood he was identified with the Irish nationalist movement. In ad- dition Ito being one of the founders of the Home Rule organization in 1871. he also helped to found the Irish land league in 1879.
 General Egan was one of the defend ants with Parnell, when the Irish lead CT and a number of assistants were prosecuted in Dublin in 1880 for sedi- ton and conspiracy. After the trial he lived ih Paris for two years and di- rected the operations of the land league in Ireland. Twice nominated for par liament. he declined because he would not take the oath of allegiance to the British government.
 General Egan came to the United Statesl in 1883, settling in Nebraska, wheref he estahlEs.kE a number of grain eleyatortP~ Thu next year he was electeSFpf pf@sident of the Irish League Of ierica, holding the position until 1886.

TEN THOUSAND HEAR PRIEST PREACH HI:
 GOSPEL 0F STRIKES
[Repubiican A. p. Leased Wirel

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 30. n Nearly 10000 striking steel workers at an open air meeting today heard Rev Father E. A. Kirby of the Girard Catholic church, cite biblical examples to justify strikes and declare that if the corporation and the government will not start the mills, the men themselves must take over the plants.
 Father Kirby declared that Moses was the first strike leader and that he organized nation-wide strike against the war lords of Egypt and delivered his people from oppression
 Incidentally" he said. the bible passes mildly over the incident where one of Pharaoh's constabulary was beating up a striker"
 The pastor declared that the strike is ''only a skirmish in the struggle for human progress and real democ racy."
 In conclusion Father Kirby said:
 You will win and the magnate and slave drivers of the corporation must go as the Caesars of political autoc- racy have gone. If they refuse to start the mills in the hope of break ing down your moral by starvation, then the public will demand that the government start them. If the gov ernment will not, then you yourselves must take them over under the gov ernment until there bourbons learn another lesson"
 The Ohio workers of the Carnegie company remains the only spot in the Mahoning valley where there is eyi- dence of any activity. Indications point to an attempt to reopen the mil in rt al xx-itb nn few days.
 Formation of an employees club with the object of returning to work and evidence of activity within the plant have kept scores of pickets on duty outside the entrances, but there have been no disorders. Fires are kept go- ing where potatoes are roasted and foremen from the mills do not hesitate to come out and chat with the strik- CTS. At the other plants, all of which have remained inactive, picketing has almost ceased. At one mill entrance today two pickets lounged in their automobile and read newspapers while other entrances were altogether de- serted.
 The exodus of foreigners from East Youngstown, which is largely made up of aliens, is continuing. Leaders among the foreigners say that more than 1000 have already left, hoping to get passage abroad. They are said to be mostly Rumanians, Serbians and Greats. Another meeting of strikers from the Farrell and Sharon districts in Pennsylvania will be held tomor- row just across the line, it was an nounced tonight.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF .TRACT|ONL|NES URGED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-Partici- patton of the public in the financing and possibly in the ownership of street railways is the only policy which will bring a restoration of credit and satis- fy conditions in the industry, Homer Loring, chairman of the trustees board of the Bay State company of Boston, today told the federal electric railways commission. The witness asserted that rising costs of materials and labor had ruined the financial standing of oper- ating companies.
 With the few exceptions, I doubt if the companies can get their credit back under private management" he said, "and that is most important argument for public ownership. The public state of mind is such that it means to grant the companies few if any favors."
 John A. Beeler of New York, as a traffic expert, suggested that some hope for betterment lay in increased operating efficiency. Faster schedules, improved routing, skip stops. encour- agement of short haul business, he said, might add to net incomes.
 Morris L. Cooke, a former city of ficial of Philadelphia, indorsed Mir. Loring's view as to the possible out come of the situation.

WILL FORCE GERMANY |. ID WITHDRAW TROOPS

PARIS, Sept. SO.-Germany's recall of General von der Goltz from the Baltic region will not satisfy the su- preme council, it is asserted, the coun- cil being determined to place economic pressure on Germany until all the Ger man soldiers are withdrawn.
 The German soldiers in this region are estimated at from 50,000 to 100- 900. They apparently are determined to restore the old Russian regime there.
 Members of the peace delegation re- peatedly have conferred with Baron Kurt von Leisner, head of the German mission, concerning von der Goltz and his forces, and the German govern ment had agreed to remove them.
 The slowness in action, however,
Arizona republican., 1919-10-01

has resulted in great disorder in the Baltic states. and the supreme coun- oil is determined to take immediate stems to bring pressure to bear upon Cermans until it's demands are sat isfied.
 While it cannot be said that blockade is actually on against ser many. steps are being taken to pring about financial pressure which VIII speedily cut off the German food sno- ply. Food now on the way to Germany will not be stopped but future sup plies will be held up unless the Ger man government makes good its promise to evacuate the troops now in the Baltic region.
