They were six weeks en- route

imprisoned, via Finland and Sweden.

They left behind John Tripler, a
Kentucky mountaineer, who was
lost in the crowd just as they en-

Nebraska, a Y. NJ. c. A. worker,
who was released with them and
John Ryell of Ohio, another "Y'

When interviewed at the Eagle

The latter were supplied by the
British consul at Helsingfors. Their
faces were gaunt and lined with
deep burrows from months of semi
starvation. But they unanimously

their experiences, ranging from dig

people that had starved to death, to
addressing a socialist congress in
Petrograd and visiting the winter
palace.
Their narratives were kaleido-
scopic of weary marches in the bit
terest cold, their comic opera i'm

junkets through the bolshevist cap

pered since the union, that 1t is passionately devoted to England not the empire, for colonial Home Rule Is abhorent-that its interests are opposed to those of the rest Of Ireland, and that these would suffer at the hands of a legislature repre- senting an agricultural community and dominated by Catholicism. So far as the prosperity of Ulster is con cerned, it is limited to a few indus tries in a restricted area. The prov ince shows the second highest total of emigration for all Ireland between 1851 and 1911-namely 1,236, SIP and between 1s41 and 1911 the pop ulation of Ulster had declined by S05, ,177 persons.
 Three Ulster counties are on the list of Irish counties with the great est number of emigrants, and two of them are in the super-prosperous, su- per-contented northeast corner''; namely Antrim, with 297,605, and Down, with 162, ,571. These figures are higher than those for the third county, Tyrone, whose emigrants over the same period numbered 149,243.
 "As for the pretense that a poverty stricken agricultural population would victimize this "prosperous'' in dustrial minority, it is worth noting that the taxable revenue per head is lower in Ulster than in Leinster, be- ing pounds, g shillings, 8 pence in the former, and 4 pounds, shillings, and g pence in the latter, and that congested districts, with all the mis- cry the words connote, are found in Ulster no less than in Connaught. On per capita valuation the highest northern county ranks only twelfth in Ireland. Ulster is not a geograph- ical entity; it is certainly not a na- tional organism; it is not even homo geneous in religion and politics."

 Connolly has had fourteen days schooling in his life. He stated this as simple fact; as something inevit- able. Two things drove him out of Ireland, according to his own admis- sion. He came to America because he could not make a living on account of the oppression in Ireland and be- cause there were no educational fa- cilities there within reach of the poor He started to work on a farm when he was twelve years old and made 25 cents a week. When ne left Ire land in 1904 he was making S4 a week.
 ''The day I crossed the Atlantic was the luckiest day of my life" he declared yesterday. There is more freedom in the United States in twen- ty-four hours than in Europe in twenty-four years. I have never re- gretted coming here.
 T Joined up with the Interborough in 1906, but did not become keenlv interested in labor problems until 1916, when I began to realize the ne cessity of collective bargaining. This came home to me when l observed the uncalled-for strikes in and around New York.
 ''I came to the conclusion that diff ferences could be amicably adjusted if proper methods were adopted. The futility of individual bargaining i'm pressed me, and I decided that co- operation among all the workers and collective bargaining were essential
 To my mind food prices lie al the bottom of all the strikes in this country today, and until steps are taken to adjust the present cost Of necessities there will be more strikes. I believe in ruthless prosecution of the profteers. he soil is producing as much today as it was ten years ago. but it costs from 100 to 15O per cent. more to live.
 Its an outrage, and the war can't be blamed for it altogether.
 "No corporation or millionaire should be allowed to make more than from 10 to 12 per cent. on his invest ments. Any further profit he makes should be turned over to the govern ment to help wipe out the war debt and relieve the working people from some of the burden of taxation
 ''The public must cooperate more with the elected public authorities to help bring down cost of living, and if they do not pull harder together I would not venture to say where striking may end More strikes un- doubtedly are coming and the men will win all along the line. The time has come when laboring people are going to be more notice by the cap :talisss than they have been for the past twenty-five years. It is time some one threw a scare into the ui- tra-rich.
 'I am well satisfied with the results of the Interborough strike. Person ally, have no am mbition to go out and be a power among the men. I have no desire to speak in public, and the last thing I want to be is an agitator. My only ambition is to get a living wage for my fellow workers, and if possible show other groups of labor the possibilities of collective bargain ing"

FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT ULSTER;
 IRELAND'S CASE FOR HOME GOVT
Boyd, Dublin Irishman Gives Out Hitherto Unpublished Information Subject of Home Rule; Denies
 That Ulster Would Lose Thing.

Ernest A. Boyd, a Dublin Irishman, gives out facts and figures believed to be hitherto unpublished, in the September issue Of The Century Mag azine to Ulster. He writes in part as follows:
 'Tn 1911, the total population of our northern province CUlster) was 1.5s1 ,696, of which 69O,s16 were Catholic Nationalists. Politically this division was emphasized by the re- turn of seventeen Nationalist, as against sixteen Unionist members of Parliament Even since the last election, when a redistribution of seats, and the split of the Nationalist vote between Nationalists and Sim F'einers affected these figures to the advantage of the Unionists, there Is still a majority in Ulster united with The majority elsewhere in Ireland, so far as the demand for an Irish par liament is concerned. Ulster is neither Unionist nor Protestant; three coun- ties, Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan, are almost wholly Catholic; Catholics and Protestants are about equally di- vided in Armagh, Tyrone, and Fer managh; and it is only in the three eastern counties of Down. Antrim, and Derry that there is a strong Pro- testant U1ionist majority. Even then Belfast has returned one Nationalist mem mber, representing the Home Rule, Catholic minority. If the four coun- ties known as Northeast Ulster are grouped together for electoriaI pur- poses, it is bound that five Nation alists are elected as against fourteen Unionists. The remaining five coun- ties return twelve Nationalists and only two Unionists. Clearly 1t Is impossible to consider Ulster as a po- litical and religious unity.
