Republican A. p. Leased wireJ

TOMBSTONE, AriZ., April 14.-One thousand young trees, planted upside down, their roots waving in the breeze, constituted the protest of farm hands against working conditions on an or chard in the state of Washington, ac- cording to 'Sabotage: Its History Philosophy and Function" read to the jury today by w H. Burges, chief of counsel for the defense. as one of the textbooks of the Industrial Work CTS of the World, in the trial of Harry E. Wootton, charged with Kidnapping in connection with the BiSbee deporta- tions of July 12, 1917-
 "A gang of section men working on a railroad in Indiana were notified Of a cut in their wages began another passage read by the defense lawyer. The workers immediately took their shovels to the blacksmith shop and cut two inches from the scoops. Re turning to the work, they told the boss: Short pay, short shovels.'
 Should the victory of the workers be forestalled by state socialism. or government ownership of industry, 1t would be d signal for an increased use of sabotage on the part of the indus trialists.'
 Referring to present morals, another pamphlet. entitled "Sabotage,' also read as an I. w. w. text. said:
 "Because the fact that rich man Che may be a poor one, at that) puts away three or four or ten wives is of little importance in itself, il is only when out of this plain, everyday phe- nomenon you draw the theory of the freedom of the sexes that bourgeoisie jumps up and screams. We industrial unionists are going to take over the industries some day, for three very good reasons: Because we need them, because we want tl>en. and be- cause we have the power to get them. We may, after the thing IS done, hire couple of lawyers and judges to fix up the deed and make the transfer perfectly legal and re- spectable. Also, if necessary. we will have a couple of learned bishops to sprinkle holy water on it and make it sacred
 "The Revolutionary l. w. w." an other pamphlet read to the jury, con- tained the following sentences:
 We are not satisfied with fair days wages for a fair days work. Such a thing is impossible. Labor produces all wealth. Labor is therefore entitled to all wealth. We are going to do away with capitalism by taking pos session of the land and machinery of production. We don't intend to buy them, either"
 Mir. Burges announced late today that the defense would complete it's case-in- chief probably tomorrow, and probably that Wootton, the defendant, might be put on the stand before the defense rests.

NEW YORK, April 14.-The first overtures of peace on the part of sne striking railroad workers. who have disorganized the railroad transporta- ton facilities of New York and north ern New Jersey, came tonight Ed ward McHugh, chairman of the Strik- CTS committee, gave out a statement that now that the railroad labor board has been appointed, we desire to avail ourselves or the opportunity provided by it for a consideration of our griev- ances."
 McHugh declared, however. that the strikers .'would not go back until they had received a substantial wage in crease and that they are not going to permit politicians in their ranks to lead them" He denied emphatically that the ranks of the strikers were weakening here, and declared they were stronger than ever.
 Ferry boats plying the Hudson river from Manhattan to the Jersey termi- nals were able to handle the heavy traffic increased by the shutdown of the Hudson tubes.

HUNGER STRIKERS IN
 DUBLIN PRISON ARE
 SUDDENLY RELEASED
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

DUBLIN, April 14.-SiXty- hum ger striking prisoners have been re- leased, apparently internationally, and as a result the strike is considered off
 The lord mayor. who went to see Lord French at the vfceregaI lodge when q hitch arose at Dublin castle through a stipulation that the prison CTS must return to their captivity on their recovery, stated on his return. that the prisoners would be released internationally.
 The prisoners had refused to accept the stipulation on the ground that it was a reapplication of the "cat and mouse" policy.
 The release of the prisoners. an- nounced at D. m., is regarded as a complete triumph for the hunger strike and its ally, the general strike
 The prisons board also received q ft order that henceforth, under the de@ fense or the realm act, prisoners should receive amelioratiye treatment from the date of their arrest until their trial for a specific offense.
 The absence of military from the streets today was conspicuous. There were no tanks Or armored cars posted at the jail and the barbed wire bal.r,- cades had been removed. The Irish volunteers assumed charge or maIn- taining order outside the prison. and were implicitly obeyed.
 The prisoners in the Rivordia hos pltal say that the prison staffs and ordinary officers at Mount Joy prison were kind in their treatment to them: their worst hardship was uncomfort- able beds
 The strike was in full force today If funerals were in progress, hearses and the chief mourners were allowed to proceed; all other vehicles in funeral corteges were turned back An indi- cation of the universal sentiment re- garding the prisoners. apart from po- litica1 bias, is shown by an appeal from Chief Rabbi Herzog to the viceroy for clemency for ''the unfortunate men at grips with death in Mount Joy"
 There is much speculation regarding the motive of the governments sud den change of policy two hours after Mr. Bonar Laws uncompromising speech in the house of commons. PCb- lie rumor attributed the decision to the influence of General MacReady who has just taken up his duties as com mander in chief of the forces in Ireland He is said to have great hopes of mak- ing military rule in Ireland both more effective and more toIerable than here tofore and he did not want to start with deaths and inquests in Mount Joy.
 DUBLIN, April 14.-It is officially announced that it is not intended to release all the hunger strikers in Mount Joy prison internationally, but that an order has been issued that those re- quiring medical treatment outside the prison will be released on parole for periods to be specified in the case of each individual by the prison doctor.

AGUA PRIETA, Sonora, April 14.-@ Troops of the new republic of Sonora have had their first battle with Car ranza soldiers on the Sonora -SinaIoa boundary, according to a report re- ceived here late today, apparently verifying an earlier report from No gales. Military authorities said the battle meant war between the Carranzt government and the seeding state.
 No details of the battle were received here.
 Sonora army officers. acting on or der from Gen. r. Elias Gales, com mander in chief, are fortifying the Sinaloa- Sonora frontier and also the mountain passes leading from Chihua- hua. CarranZa troops are already en route from Casas Grandes, Chihuahua toward Agua Prieta. it was said.
 Gales is said to have dispatched a large force to Blanco Pass, through which the CarranzO soldiers must com in marching toward Agua Prieta, and J. M- Pino, commander of the first di- vision of Sonora troops, said it would be impossible for Carranza soldiers % break through Blanco Pass To reach Agua Prieta, the Carranza soldiers must march overland 200 miles throush a mountainous and desert country.

 Four thousand soldiers had joined the Sonora army in less than 50 hours. lt was announced at military headquar- ters here Officials of the new repub- lie here now believe a civil war must settle the doctrine of states rights be- tween Sonora and the central govern ment of Mexico.
 The question of states rights caused Sonora to secede when state authoritics declared President Carranza had no right to. send troops into Sonora against -the wishes of the Sfate.
 Sonora, before seeding. said sending of troops into the state would mean civil war; Immediately after the seces- sion last Saturday steps were taken 10 repel any Carranza invasion.
 Yaqui Indians. who have been at war for months against the Mexican gov ernment. have made peace with the Sonora authorities and between four and five thousand red warriors will be mobilized against Carranza. it was said here today. The military authorities here claimed an army of more than 25.000 men would be enrolled within a week.
 One of Richest Parts of Mexico
 When Sonora seeded, CarranZa lost one of his greatest revenue producers, the rich agricultural and mining dis trict of the state and adjacent territory paving a large part of the Mexican federal revenue. Through Sonora ports of entry moie e customs house fees were collected than on all the boundary points between the United States and Mexico.

Fight Goes On in East


 In the east the strikers and railway managers, who are supported by the railway brotherhood chiefs, continued to fight for the upper hand. Although strikers succeeded in adding a few re cruits to their ranks, the railways. as sisted by hundreds of volunteers, made substantial progress toward restoration of normal passenger service. The in creasing strength of this volunteer support is reported to have made marked impression on strike leaders and both railway and union labor lead CTS predicted that a break was immi- nent in eastern territory.
 From the south, which has been but little affected by the strike, came re- ports of better passenger service and the resumption Of normal conditions
 Refuse to Compromise
 Coincident with their prediction thar the strike fever was dying out, rail way brotherhood chiefs took a firm stand against allowing their represen- tatives to participate in any confer ences with governmental or railway of ficials at which representatives Of the newly formed yardmen's association were present.
 There can be no compromise with insurgents declared w. c. Lee. presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, @'and only one settIemnt can with law and order methods through authorized committees for established organiza tions.''

NEW IRISH POLICY
 IF MODERATION |S
 SEEN IN RELEASES
reepublican A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, April 15.-The release of the Irish prisoners was by direct or der of General Sir Venille MacReady and marks the beginning of an entire change in the Irish policy, according to a prominently displayed statement in the Daily Mail.
 When it became clear some time ago, says this paper, that the policy of repression was leading to disas- trouS consequences, the premier de- cided to change the policy, and, if nec- essary get rid Of the men associated with the old regime. He suddenly and without warning told J. l. Mac Emerson, chief secretary for Ireland, that he was to be transferred to the pensions ministry. and appointed Gen. eraI MacReady in command of the troops without consulting the Irish office. General MacReady, adds the Mail, was instructed to inaugurate a new policy of conciliation, and was was to supersede the existing heads of the government in Ireland.
 General MacReady arrived in Dub lin Wednesday morning and ordered the release of the prisoners, after an exchange of wireless messages with Premier Lloyd George. who is on his way to San Reno, according 70 the Daily Mail.
 Inasmuch as General MacReady re- versed the policy for which Viscount French was responsible, the viceroy, the paper believes. wishes a clear defi- milton as to whether he or General MacReady is the chief power in Ire land and may come to London to in- quire.
 "The answer continues the Mail, may lead to his esIsnation-a con- tingency for which the premier pos sibly planned. Names of his possible successor are being discussed in the Hobbies of parliament, the favorite be- ing the Earl of Barnard. although, as he is a Catholic, special act of parliament would be necessary to en- able him to act as yiceroy.'
 The Mail assumes from Mir. Bonar Laws speeches that he was not in- formed of the decision for the release of the prisoners. and says that the. peculiarity of his position is being dis cussed in political circles.
