much more disposed sto reconcile the

Ulster, on the other hand. will
begin campaign next week for ac-

The nationalist are expected to
join the Sim Feiners in opposing

Here in Dublin the consensus
among well informed men is that
the bill will be forced through the

never be enforced because it is
generally regarded as artificial and

a second roll call. When the first one
had been completed. members began to
make wholaselcs changes from aye to
