It occupied so much time, how ever, that the reading of the rest of the report was continued until the next meeting.
 Another Excursion.
 = Delegate Eugene Treiber made a length report of the Trades Councils excursion to Coney Island, held August IF, which was previously reported in The Labor Press. He pronounced ti a success of unexpected magnitude and said that another had been arranged for for Wednesday, September l. Other New Haven parties had endeavored to get the same boat for similar excur- sion but the manner in which the Trades Councils excursion had been conducted had so fayorab1y impressed the owners that they gave the Council the sole privilege. The receipts from the coming excursion, as in the instance of the first one, will go to the Labor Temple Building Fund and there is every indication that 1t will prove an even greater success than its predeces- sor. President Ornburn in simplifying Delegate Treiber's report stated that the second excursion was being given not because 1t had been such financial success, solely, but because of the very general request of those who partici- pated in the first one. Delegate Striby in reporting on the financial feature of the excursion said that while the re- turas were not all in 1t was safe to say that a profit of from $1,2O0 to $1,5OO would be shown

IRISH FREEDOM FRIENDS
DENY PREMIER'S CHARGE

The following statement was issued
here today by the national bureau of
the Friends OF Irish Freedom:
The statement of Lloyd George that
Terence McSwiney, Lord Mayor of
Cork, will be allowed to die because
he was a leader OF gang of mur-
derers in Ireland Is an eleventh
hour attempt by the English pre-
mier to justify the murder OF the
lord mayor in an English prison which
has absolutely no foundation in fact.
"McSwiney. according to the state
ments OF the British government II
self. was arrested while in the per-
formance OF his duties as an official Of
the Irish republican government and
while he was in the offices OF the Cor
poration OF Cork. He was sentenced
TO two years imprisonment for hav-
ing in his possession a Police Code, a
copy OF a resolution passed by the
Cork Corporation. and a copy OF his
own speech. There was at no time in
the proceedings OF this court-marttal |
any suggestion by the English mill
tary forces which conducted the af-
fair OF any other charge against the
lord mayor.
The lord mayor, while at his duties
In the City Hall at Cork. was arrested
by an armed detachment OF the Eng
iish military forces in Ireland. At
the moment when the English troops
invaded the city hall an arbitration
court OF the Irish republican govern
ment was engaged in hearing civil
cases. The Iitigants and witnesses
In the court were arrested at the same
time. McSwiney was later court mar
tialed alone, without tho witnesses
previously arrested. and on four
charges which have no connection
with the question OF arbitration
courts.

Herald carried the following dispatch

MAYOR
IN GREAT PAIN
McSwiney Suffers Agony as
Death Creeps Into CeIl-Pre.
mier Stands Pat"

LONDON. Sept 10.--Terence Nc
Swiney, the hunger striking Lord
Mayor OF Cork, still lives. He spent
a restless night in the Brixton Jail
infirmary and suffered considerable
pains in his arms. This was the
twenty-ninth day OF McSwineys
self-imposed starvation.
MIND RAMBLEs.
McSwiney was able TO converse
briefly during the morning. although
his voice was so weak that his whis-
pers could hardly be heard. His mind
seemed TO rambie slightly at times.
but for thesmost part he was lucid.
He dictated replies to several mes
sages of sympathy received from the
United States. These replies were
taken by the Rev. Father Dominic,
personal spiritual adviser to the lord
mayor.
Mrs. McSwiney and the blood rela.
tlves OF the lord mayor continue their
vigil. They have made no EFFORT to
persuade the lord mayor to relinquish
his political principles and take nour-
ishment. The suggestion was made
20 Mary McSwiney. but she spurned it,
Doctors declared that IT was impos-
sible to say how long McSwiney would
linger between life and death " he
continues his hunger strike. At times
he appears to be dying, but rallies
with unexpected displays OF vitality.
The British government Is now
standing pat" on it's irish policy. and
there appears little likelihood that
any of the IRISH hunger strikers Will
be freed.
