LONDON, Sept. S.-Terence Nc
Swiney, lord mayor Of Cork, who
has been on a hunger strike for
twenty-sven days, was in coma IN
Broxton Jail and scarcely recognized
his wife, Muriel, when she visited
him this morning.
Mrs. McSwiney is breaking down
under the strain of her long vigil.
She was on the verge of collapse to-
day.
SUFFERING ACUTE PAIN.
An official bulletin. issued at

Premier Lloyd George, in an inter-
Wow given to the Daily News, indi-
Gated that he will insist that Nc

The Cork lord mayor was engaged

.ENGLAND NOT DONE FOR VET
The premier declared that dominion

separate Irish army and navy and
also financial question in the matter
OF payment for the war.

News Service.

STATE FAIR GROUNDS, ST. PAUL.
MINI. Sept. S.-Speaking today at the
Minnesota State Fair. on his first cam
paign trip outside Of Ohio. Senator
Warren G.. Harding mapped out a
definite program of agricultural poll
cies to which he committed himself
and his party if elected in November.
Senator Harding's speech was de-
voted solely to agricultural matters
and among his hearers were thou
sands of farmers from the great
wheat belt of the Northwest.
america" the Senator declared.
has reached the fork in the road,
with regard to agriculture. From
distinctly rural nation sixty years
ago. we have turned into an indus
trial nation wherein seventy per cent
OF the people dwell in cities and the
othc" thirty per cent produce the food.
We are rapidly approaching the
zero mark from the standpoint of ag-
ricultural supplies TO the world. "
said Senator Harding. This time is
almost with us when our imports Of
farm grown products viii exceed the
exports.
The time has come when. as a
nation, We must determine upon n
definite agricultural policy We
must decide whether VIC shall under.
take to make the United States a self
sustaining nation which meaas that
we shall grow within our own boun-
daries all the staple food products
needle to maintain tho highest type
of civilizstion--or whether VIC shall
continue to exploit our agricultural
resources for the benefit of our in
dustrial and commercial life, and
leave to posterity tho task OF find
ing enough food by strong arm
methods IL necessary, to support the
coming hundreds of millions.
81 believe in the sclf-sust aiming. in e
dependent. Sclf-rc'iant nation. aGri-
culturally, industrially and politically.
We are then the Guarantors Of our
own security and arc equal to the
task"
Senator Harding asserted that he
had no thought of the Governments
working out an elaborate system Of
agriculture and then imposing it on
the farmers OF tho country.
That would be utterly repugnaut
to American ideals" he said. Gov
crnment paternalism, whether applied
to- agriculture or to any of our great
national industries, would stihe am
bition. impair efficiency, lessen pro-
duction and make us a nation OF de-
pendeEs incompetcnts."
But some things ought TO be done.
the Senator said, and he enumerated
them as follows:
Give farmers representation
in governmental affairs.
Grant farmers the right to form
cooperative associations to mark ct
their products.
3-Reduce abnormal fluctuations Of
prices in farm products. The Rcpub-
lican party pledges itself to a scicn-
tiic study OF this problem,
f-Put an end to UNNECESSARY price
fixing Of farm products and to ill-con-
sidcred efforts arbitrarily to reduce
farm product prices.
Standardization OF the farm loan
law to help men own their farms and
extension OF the long term credit
plan.
6-Restore railroad transportation
TO an efficient state so that losses
will not be incurred through inability
to market farm products.
T-Revise the tarin In order to pro-
tect labor. agriculture and Industry
from lower foreign standards.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. s.
First trouble O ia serious nature in
the anthracite field occurred at Cork
lane, Pittston, early today when a
squad of State troopers charged a
mob of Pennsylvania Coal Company
strikers, who, it was charged. en-
deavore dto prevent other strikers
from returning to work.
The trouble occurred at the Della
ware and HUDSON Railway station.
A score of men, who joined the strike
of the Pennsylvania men in July, re-
ported at the depot today and were
on their way to Oliphant, where they
were to work for the Delaware and
Hudson railroad. 80
ATTACK on -brfor.
Shortly before thef work. train
pulled in. 100 strikers appeared ana
are alleged to have charged the
depot. hurting sticks, stones ana
clubs.
state troopers were patrolling the
district and while the riot wa sat It's
height they rode into the mob with
mob sticks flying. battering the heads
of any and all who were in their way.
The suddenness with which they
acme and the fierceness with which
they charged took all fight out OF the
rioters and they broke and fed in all
| directions.
TROUBLE BREWING.
There are signs OF trouble in other
districts. Reason for this is that
local unions are divided into factions.
| One side will vote to return to work
and the other will vote to remain on
strike. The opposition is becoming
so bitter that several districts, par
| ticularly in the upper part of district
! | report riot clouds gathering.
Gradually the insurgent forces arc
being weakened Several more col
Iieries were able to operate in Dis
trict I today. and this in face OF the
| fact that il Is church holiday that
| is generally celebrated by some OF
the foreign speaking mine workers.
In districts Z and Q there is no break
! in the ranks. tn" insurgent forces
having the two districts in complete
! idleness.
The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
| Company has only three collicries IN
idleness today. Three of the big op-
crations of this company that had
been tied up by the strike got up
steam and enough men reported for
work to permit sending coal through
the breakers. The Lehigh Valley
Company reports its condition un-
changed from yesterday, except tina:
where coIlierics are operating the
number of workmCn is getting bigger
