SIM FEN PRISONERS
IN DUBLIN FREED
In Accordance with Provisions Of Cat
and Mouse Act Passed in England
- to Deal with Suffragettes.

Dublin, Nov. 10 tBy the Associated
Press Sim Fein prisoners in Dublin
have been released under an order Of
Oct. IL, not as a matter Of policy to
affect opinion but in accordance with
the provisions of the cat and mouse
act passed TO deal in England with the
suffragettes. The prisoners were on a
hunger strike and The authorities had
either to release them or let them die.
The plan of forcible feeding was con
demned by the medical advisers of the
government and was abandoned.
The prisoners did not receive par
dons Their sentences were suspended.
and when they have recovered their
health they can be rearrested and made
to serve the remainder of their term.
The hunger strikes arose out Of the
claim of the Sim Feiners that they
should be treated not as criminals but
as political prisoners. This claim has
from time to time been conceded, but
the application of the concession leads
to constant disputes There is a diff.
ference of opinion as to which of the
prisoners are political The prison au-
thorities determine it by the nature of
the charge and the sentence. A man
charged with aiming to set up re-
public is political If the charge is
making a speech melting to violence,
the prisoner is allowed no relaxations.
The prisoners insist on being treated
alike. When this is refused they de-
stroy the furniture in their cells and
endeavor to make government in the
prison impossible. They are then hand
cuffed and put in solitary confinement.
Then they 60 on hunger strike. A
few days of this puts many of them
into condition which Decessitates
their removal to a hospital Release
follows and they return to their homes,
where they are welcomed by sympa
thetic crowds, and where they general
" continue the course of action which
led to their Imprisonment When in
due course they are rearrested they are
again the object OF popular demonstra-
ton. The whole process goes on con-
tinuously.
The trouble of the administration
arises from the fact that the sympathy
of the masses of the population is with
the prisoners.

NORWEGIAN BoLSHEvIKI.

London, Nov l7tBy the Associated
Press "A strong bolsheyik element in

Naturally the party is strongly

this demand, but he made the quail

MANY of the firms with which we

amount is necessary to secure our
credit.

negotiating with are the American
Steel Export company, the Lehigh Ma
