THREE KILLED IN CORK RIOTS
British Troops Now Have Gordon
About City-AII Quiet.

Cork. July 20.-Military authorities
were in control here today. followin &
riots in which numerous soldiers and
civilians were wounded. At least
three persons were killed. Troops
cordoned the city and patrolled all
streets.
The blowing up of two motor lor-
ries in which between sixty and sew
enty soldiers were. injured was attrib-
buted to demobilized soldiers. 1t de-
veloped today many Sim Feiners were
connected with the outrage.
Fifty armed men overpowered four
teen soldiers who were guarding stores
which the railway workers had refused
to handle. The stores were loaded on
trucks. The raiders forced the guards
to climb into an empty wagon after
which they set fire to the supplies.
This incident occurred within 200
yards of the military barracks.

TO U. S. COURT?.
Feeling Here Howat May Go
to Highest Tribunal.
Chiefs Next Step Awaited
With Interest.

THERE'S feeling in industrial court
circles today that Alexander Howat
may take his contempt case to the
court of last resort-the United States
course is defined. the industrial court
will arrange to call the mine union
head as a witness. Howat is to be
asked to produce books and records
of the union, should he finally respond
to the summons OF the court
Plans for a return trip 10 Pittsburg
will be discussed in a few days by the
court. At that time Howat. Dorchy,
Cummings and other officers of the
mine workers union will be called to
testify. If they refuse. the men will
then be sent to Jail. There is a sus-
picion that, should Judge Curran issue
another commitment. he might deny
bond to the union leaders.
Keen interest was displayed in the
state Mouse today as to the course
which Howat will take. There is a
genuine belief that at the md of his
twen&r days he will serve notice of an
appeal to the United States supreme
court. Such action would delay hear
ings and would give organized labor
an opportunity to make its fight on the
new court law during the coming ses-
sion of the legislature. In event this
fight produced results. Howat and his
lieutenants might effectively evade
giving testimony.
Barring an appeal from the state
supreme court decision. the industrial
court will probably go to Pittsburg
next month to resume coal mine in
designations. Howat may be the first
witness.
Governor Allen today declined to
discuss the latest Howat statement and
his expression of defiance toward the
governor and the new court.
1T seems as If the court is getting
along pretty we'll with the Howat mat
ter said the governor. and ! guess
they will be able to look after Mr..
Howat now"
