WILSON, S SILENCE
PERPLEXES DUBLIN
Corporation Weeks Ago Of
fered President Freedom
of City, but He Has Not
Replied.

London, Jan. 16.-The London
Times Dublin correspondent says the
nationalists in Dublin, and especially
the republican party, make no effort
to conceal their disappointment at
what is described as President Will
sons "curious silence" in reference
to the corporations desire to confer
the freedom of the city upon him.
So far as Dec. 28, the lord mayor
handed to the American consul in
Dublin, to be transmitted to the
president, an invitation from the
council to visit Dublin, in order that
the freedom of the city might be pre-
sented to him. The council has not
yet received any notification that this
invitation has reached Mr.. Wilson.
The corporation, at special meet
ing last Friday, appointed the lord
mayor and several of it's members to
go to Paris to present the freedom of
the city to Mr.. Wilson there and on
Saturday the town clerk wrote to
President Wilson's private secretary,
asking him to name a date on which
the president would receive the dep
utation. No reply has been received.
AT the same time the lord mayor
wrote to Mr.. Balfour at the foreign
office for passports for himself and
the other members of the deputation,
but again there has been no reply. 1t
now is announced that the lord may
or is taking action through local
in order to have the pass
ports issued without further delay.
The nationalists cannot under
stand the curious silence" in view
of the fact that when on Dec. 27 the
Belfast corporation offered the free
dom of their city to President VIII
son he sent a reply on Jan. !, ex-
pressing the pleasure it would give
him to visit Belfast. but regretting
that the shortness of his stay in Eng
land prevented him from travelling to
Ulster

The PEACE
WRANCL,E
IS ON
NeWswriters Peeved That
Sessions Will Not Be Pub

Yet Agreed Upon.
~ FRED S. FERGUSON


Omitted Press Staff Correspondents
Paris, Jan. 16.--Interalled con-
ferences continued at 1890 o'clock
this morning with the same repre-
sentatives as attended yesterdays
meetings. Associated delegates are
working full speed to get everything
in readiness for the formal opening
Of the full peace congress Saturday
afternoon.
Several of the most important
problems Hpon which lho initial SOS.
sion hinges remain unsolved Among
these were acceptance of the French
outline for method of operation,
fixing of the status of the Montene-
grin delegate, determination whether
the Russian soviet government shall
be represented and decision as to the
manner of acquainting the world
with what transpires in the confer
ences. Although the five principal
powers have adopted resolution to
limit the news of the sessions to Of
fetal communiques, it is believed
that due to the concert of protest
the matter will be reopencd and pos
sibly modified. The French propos-
al that the conference be of a star
chamber order and that all informa-
ton be confined to daily official com
muniques created CONSERVATION
among newspaper correspondents.
1t was explained that only such in
formation would be omitted as would
be considered prejudicial to the i'll
terests under treatment.
The Greek delegates pointed out
hn cfnt ;c5,
tinople as the capital of the league
would automatically result in it's in
standardization together with the
Dardanelles, and it was further sug-
gested that immediate territory on
both sides of the strait should be
placed under control of the league,
thus the freedom of the Dardanelles
and the elimination of Turkey from
Europe are two of the important
problems of the peace conference to
be settled simultaneously.
Paris, Jan. 15.-Fear that fur
ther occupation of Germany would
be necessary if serious food short
age developed has prompted the al
lied food council to permit importa-
ton of supplies into that country, the
United Press is able to state author
itatively. Riots in Industrial CEN
ters, such as Berlin, are based on
food difficulties, it was established
1t was further ascertained that while
Germany's supplies are sufficient for
the moment, the people are rapidly
consuming their stocks and would
face actual starvation before spring.
1t was upon representations of allied
military authorities that the council
decided it was vital to permit Ger
many to import foodstuffs. This
would insure the establishment of a
stable government, it was declared,
preventing the necessity for further
encroachment by allied armies upon

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The National
labor congress, called to consider
plans for freeing Thomas j. Mooney

framed" against by one of The most
notorious anarchists and capitalist
snakes ever holding district attor.
ney's office anywhere, completed its
organization yesterday afternoon by
electing the following officers: Chair
man, Edward D. Nolan Of San Fran
cisco, at the head of the Worker S
Defense league, an organization that
has for months past been handling
the defense of Mooney; vice-chair-
man, John j. Mowerer of Allentown,
Pa, president of the Pennsylvania
Federation of Labor; secretary, T..
B. Ault OF the Seattle Union Record.
Leo Daily of Butte declined the nom
ination of chairman. DAILY was sent
here by the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor assembly of Butte and is class
ed with the progressive element, az
also is w. f. Dunn of the Butte
Bulletin staff, the Bulletin being the
leading inpendent daily newspaper Of
the northwest.
The radicals will make fight to-
day on ''the attitude of labor toward
capital during the period Of recon
struction."
The radicals also have resolutions
calling for a general strike to free
Mooney and all other political pris-
oners" convicted since the beginning
of the war, which would include Eu-
nal Il
Victor l.. Berger, Adolph Germer
Emma Goldman and Rose Pastor
Stokes.
Adoption of the report of the COM
mittee on rules caused the first clash
of the day between the conservatives
and the radicals.
The report was finally approved
the radicals controlling. During the
debate one of the radicals questioned
the right of Edward j. Nockels, sec
retary of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor, to sit as a delegate.
w. f. Dunn of Butte expressed the
view of the radicals within the trade
union ranks when he protested
against the alleged steam-rollel
methods of the conservatives in con
trolling the convention, and attacked
the American Federation Of Labor
He said the convention was not the
property of the international Work,
ers' Defense league, the American
Federation of Labor, or the Chicago
Federation of Labor, and might con,
slider any subject it pleased He
said the radical element in the la
Dor movement had done the hard
and dangerous work in the Mooney
case and We're entitled to every con,
sideration. He said the radicals in,
sisted upon discussing international
questions before adjournment.
The Mooney case is not all thai
we are here to discuss" said Dunn
after we dispose of that we want tt
outline plans to free ourselves from
the chains of industrial slavery. The
attitude of organized labor on inter.
national industrial questions should
make every man here blush with
shame"

SECRETARY BAKER
MAY CHUCK JOB
Another Cabinet Member
Can't Live on $4,000 a
Month, Says Persistent
Rumor at Washington.
BY CARL D. GROAT

UNITED Press staff Correspondent j
Washington, Jan. 16-There is a
prospect that Secretary Baker will.
7'etire from the Wilson cabinet, ac-
cording to persistent rumors. If he
does he will return to Cleveland to
re-establish his law practice. His
reason for resigning would be a
financial one. Some say he may be
persuaded to remain if given the post
OF attorney general. Baker has
been under heavy expense while
holding the cabinet place and not
only did his bit" in the Liberty loan
drives, but borrowed money to buy
more bonds.
He is scheduled to make a trip to
Europe soon to assist in finishing
war department business. 1t is un-
likely he will quit before a number
OF contract matters are cleared
and the army organization bill dis
posed Of. incidentally, Baker is
mentioned as a presidential posi-
bility.
If bonds are not money, the Lord
help us, is the comment of the peo-
pie.

Organization to Prevent Use of De-

New York, Jan. 16.-Fearing that
profiteering employers might take
advantage of the army of soldiers
being returned to civil life as the
chronic army of unemployment to
batter down the standards of wages
and hours that have been won dur
ing the war, about 100 men recently
mustered out of the army, navy and
marine corps organized last night at
the Peoples house, East Fifteenth
street, to insure the triumph of an
Industrial democracy.
Many of the men expressed great
concern that the, democracy they
fought for and bletl for might prove
a hollow mockeryE unless organized
soldiery use their power to insure

racy. a
