FRENCH ASSAILS
SINN FEIN RULE
British Chief In Ireland Makes Bit
ter Attack on SeIf-GOVern-
ing Faction.

London, Wednesday, Oct 22.-
Speaking at Wallasey, Cheshire, to-
night. Field Marshal Viscount
French, lord lieutenant and gov
.ernor general of Ireland. made a
bitter attack upon the Sim Fein
government of Ireland. Among
other things he said:
THE self-constituted, illegal and
insane Sim Fein government is
possessed of a great secret army
called the Irish volunteers to
which are attached assassins whose
business it is to murder police and
soldiers who question their DEGREES
in any community.
THE people are frightened into
screening these Offenders and no
courageous efforts on the part of
the police are abOrtive.
We are anxious to give self-de-
termination and to be faithful and
just. but little can possibly he done
until law and order are established.
When the people hear Of coercion
hope they will consider the mat
ter in just light"

GOES TO RENEW
FOE RELATIONS

London, Wednesday, Oct. 22-An-
nouncement is made that the mis-
sion of Walford H. NJ. Selby to Ber-
lin will be the reopening of the
British embassy and the re-estab-
lishment of diplomatic relations
between Great Britain and Ger
many. This will be followed by
the appointment of a regular Brit
ish charge d. affaires and the sub
sequent selection of an ambassa-
dor to Germany.
1t has not been decided when
Francis Oswald Lindley, British
high commissioner at Vienna, will
assume his duties, but it is believ-
ed he will go to the Austrian cap
ital within a few days. The stu
alton at Vienna is different than
that at Berlin. where Great Britain
plans to resume regular diplo-
matte relations. The appointment
of Mr. Lindley as commissioner
does not mean a resumption of reg
uIar relations. although he will
have full powers to handle British
affairs.

RULING SOUGHT
AFTER SECOND
RIOT AT OPERA
Egg Barage and Clashes
Over German Play
Cause Court Move.

New York, Oct. 23.-Argument on
the legal merits of staging opera
in German in this city-a proceed
ure which has resulted in two riots
in as many performances, came up
today in supreme court.
The Star Opera company, incor-
porated, which, succeeding in pre-
senting two Germany masterpieces
at the Lexington theatre under DO
lice protection. was prepared to
ask that a temporary injunction
city authorities from interfering
with the opera made be perma-
nent.
The city, following an opinion,
expressed by Corporation Counsel
Burr, that German opera might le-
eally be suppressed until after rati-
hCatiOn of the peace treaty, was
ready 10 argue against a permanent
injunction.
The temporary injunction grant
ed Yesterday by Supreme Court
Justice Burr, backed by heavy po-
lice protection. afforded the opera
an opportunity TO continue last
night. More than two hundred
mounted police and patrolmen were
required to keep a crowd OF for
mer service men and other civil
ians IN check outside the theatre
Lays Down Egg Barrage.'
The performance Of Gear and
Carpenter" was enlivened at the
end OF the first act when a man in
one Of the boxes threw eggs at the
singers on the stage None of the
eggs reached a human target. but
the throwing created great excite
ment in the audience. many leaving
the theatre. The egg thrower was
arrested
The Tioting outside the theatre
was more fierce than that which
greeted the first performance Mon
day night.
Many Injured.
The police used clubs freely. A
man in navy uniform was taken to
a hospital in a serious condition
and a soldier suffered a broken hip
Others were cut and bruised when
mounted police charged through
the crowd to prevent it frn@ ap-
preaching the theatre.
Another performance was prom
ised for tonight.

GOn1pers Warns Capital Group
of Dangers Ahead as Labor Is
Forced TO Abandon Conference

Washington, D. c., Oct. 23.-
Labor, Withdrawing from the pres
ident's labor-capital-public peace
conference today, expressed its
views through Samuel Gompers, as
follows:
Gentlemen: 1 have sung my
swan song in this conference. You
have, by your actions, the action Os
the employers group, Iegislated US
out of the conference. We have
nothing further to submit. and it
is with feeling of regret that we
have not been enabled with clear
cons Science to remain here longer.
The employers by their attitude
in this conference are placing
themselves exactly in the position
as the / W. W. Not the employ
ers of America, but the employers
group represented in this confer
ence have put themselves as
against agreements with wage
earners as such. The I. W. W, in
its propaganda, said workers
should not enter into agreements
with employers.
Capitals Position UnenviabIe.
THE position in which the en-
ploying group has placed the en-
ployers of America is not an en-
viable one.
The preamble of the I. W. W.
says the working class and en-
ploying class have nothing in COM
mon Having nothing in common,
they do not seek an agreement.
Cancellation, or collective bargain
ing.
Il submit there is not a single
voluntary organization in this or
any other country which has con-
tributed so much to a constructive
policy within rational lines as has
the American trades union move
ment.

u. s. FAILS TO AVERT MINE TEEUP
SAYS RAIL MEN
WILL GET MORE
PAY OR STRIKE
Threatened Tieup of Ma
tion's Roads Again
Looms On Horizon.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Indications
that railroad employees will demand
granting of their demands for In
creased wages, time and a half
overtime, the eight-hour day, and
changes in working conditions be-
fore the railroads OF the country
are turned back by the government
to priavte control. is contained in
testimony my Timothy Shea, chief
of the f1remen's brotherhood, be-
fore the railroad administration
board on working conditions.
VIII Get Increase.
Mr.. Shea told the board during
its hearing Of the firemen's de-
mands, according to the testimony
published today, that to members of
his brotherhood was due an in
crease in wages. which, he said, 'if
1 can not get out of this conference,
it may be necessary TO use other
means, but I am going to get it"
In another portion of Mr.. Shea's
testimony, he Is quoted as declar-
ing that If the f1remen's demands
for living wages should not be met
when the time approaches for the
turning back OF the railroads to
their private owners, the workers
shall demand as a condition pre-
cedent to the return the granting
of those demands.
Includes All Rail Men.
Although Mr. Shea appeared be-
fore the board only in behalf Of the
firemen, it is generally considered
that to increase wages Of the fire
men would necessitate a similar in
crease to all railroad workers, and
any action taken by the firemen to
enforce their wage demands would
involve similar action by the other
brotherhoods.

lt-Why, that is their job, If they
can; but they are building upon
quicksand They are resting
their hopes upon a fimsy ground
and one which will not take long
to turn upon them in their benev0-
lent and sOlicitious attitude TO-
wards the workers in their en-
ploy.
The president asked Is repre-
sentatives from the federation Of
labor to participate in this confer
ence. Is it imaginable that we, as
representative of the 100000 or
ganized workers, can remain mem
bers of this conference with a re-
fusal on the part of the employ
ers' group to admit the right Of
the wage workers to organize for
collective bargaining? Can such
a construction be put upon the
presidents call? I doubt it.
you'll Be Glad to See Cs.7
The word spoken here by the
vote of the employers group set
ties nothing. You have defeated
labor in its declaration here; but
we Will meet you again in confer
ence, and when we do meet you
there you will be glad to talk col
lective bargaining.
1T is the labor group which rep
resents the human side to this con-
ference, which submits the propo-
sition to bring about not only
greater production. but the instru-
mentality by which there shall be
better agreement between en-
ployers and workers.
And that has been rejected
without rhyme or reason, upon
grounds which our friends in the
employing group will find 1t diff
cult to explain to their fellows
and the world. You have defeated
US in our proposition, but you have
not broken one line of this move
ment of ours, nor crushed It's
spirit.
THE die is cast; we can no
longer remain"
