Speaker at ConcIave Wears Mask as Symbol of British CompIiCity in Murders.
 Resolutions Are Passed
By Associated Press

London December 29.-An effort to ob- tain the support of British organized la bor for the Irish Self-Determination Claim was started here today at a spe- cial conference of the parliamentary labor party at which several of the partys Investigators of the Irish situa- tion delivered addresses.
 A resolution was adopted unanimously challenging the government to disproNe the commissions accusations regarding reprisals and other outrages charged to the crown forces. Another resolution adopted at this afternoons esssion sug gests the following grounds as pos sble basis for negotiation and settlement of the Irish difficulties:
 THE RESOLUTION
 First, withdrawal of all armed forces; second, placing of responsibility for maintaining order in each locality in Ire land on the local authorities, and third, provision for immediate election by pro portional representation of a constituent assembly charged to work out whatever constitution for Ireland the Irish people desire, subject only to two conditions, namely, protection of minorities and guarantees that the constitution should prevent Ireland becoming a military or naval menace to Great Britain"
 Brig. Gen. z. B. Thompson. who accom- panied the commission, declared that the soldiers in Ireland were to large extent merely children, and added: '"The army of occupation is masterful and criminal The black and tans are violent iN thought and deed. in addition to being the per petrators of ;he worst outrages, they are the most provocative element in that un- happy country"
 MASK IS DONNED
 General Thompson said he thought the prime minister knew what was happen ing in Ireland, but, he declared, he IS the tool of the powerful clique who are working the Irish policy
 Tom Johnson, secretary of the lrish labor party, donned a mask and said This is a little symbol of the com phcity of the British government in these murders"
 J. Bromley, in moving the resolution deploring "the lamentable condition ol affairs in Ireland,' mentioned the Croke Park incident There were cries CT 'Amritsar,'' He concluded with warn ing to the British labor members that the "auxiliaries, with their class hatred. their political and racial hatreds and anti-Catholc bias, form the nucleus of a white guard.N
