IRELAND GRIPPED IN
MURDEROUS OUTBREAK
Hundreds Killed and Wounded in Yesterdays
Reprisals. Dublin Cut OFF From Outside
World. Citizens of Cork Flee in Terror

LONDON, Nov. 21.-The seethine
tumult that has been in Ireland the
past few months came to head ovel
the weekend.
Messages coming thru an apparent
censorship speak of scores of dead
and many more of wounded.
Judging from the news at hand, II
is the explosion of the black and tan
volcano.
The outstanding incidents of the
carnage are:
1. The killing of at least ten and
the wounding of seventy others when
armored cars loaded with soldiers in
vaded a crowd of $1,000 at an Irish
Gaelic football game,
2. The great fires raging in the
docks and coal yards with large ships
blazing in the harbor of Dublin.
3. The desperate street fighting
between citizens and soldiers adding
hourly to the list of killed and
wounded.
4. The isolation of Dublin by Sir
Neville Macready British COM
mander in chief in Ireland, who has
placed Gordon about the city cut
ting off all train service to and from
the city.
5. Attacked by Irish volunteers
in the south side of Dublin, where
loaded with black and
tans shot down people promiscuously.
6. Invasion of a big hotel in
Dublin by the soldiers, where two
officers were killed and four persons
wounded.
7. The attempted burning of
Cork in one of the largest drygoods
ablishments in Ireland, the former
place of employment of both Lord
Mayor MacSwiney and Lord Mayor
O'Callaghan, the present executive.
8. In the chapel at Galway lies
the body Of priest, Father Griffith,
who was kidnapped last Sunday and
since found near Galway, with bull
let in his temple.
Ireland has experienced the blood
lest visuation since the 1916 revolu-
ton. Today and yesterday there was
waged in the streets of Dublin a
bloody warfare openly, between the
Irish republicans and the British
soldiers.
So heavy were the casualties that

SENATOR ~HARDINC'S
SEAT WILL GO TO
Sen. FRANK WILLIS
Senators Resignation Be
Held Until After Ian.
Prevent Cox
Naming Democrat
BY Universal Service

WASHINGTON - President-elect
Harding will resign his seat in the
senate just as soon after January l
as Harry L. Davis, the new Republic
can governor in Ohio, can appoint
Senator Frank B. Willis to fill the
vacancy, it was learned recently.
The resignation will be purposely
delayed until that time to prevent
Governor Cox from appointing a
Democrat, thereby threatening con-
troll of the senate during the coming
session at which the Republicans will
carry out an extensive pre-inaugural
party program which will be ar
ranged within the next few days.
Harry Daugherty, confidential ad-
visor to the president-elect and other
leaders, have arrived for confer
ence on such program.
Among those who will be present
are Senator Lodge, Mass, the major
ity leader in the senate; Representa-
tive Mondell, Wyoming, the house
leader; Speaker Gillett Of the house;
Senator Watson of Indiana and Sec
retary G. B. Miller of the Republican
national committee.
Included in the legislative pro-
gram is one measure to change the
present system of taxation and an
other aimed to restore liberty bonds
to par.
Belief was expressed here that
David Jayne Hill of New York, Bit
ter opponent of the present league Of
has far better chance Of
secretary Of state than Mr..
Loot, who favors the league.
At the present moment, Senator
Harry New of Indiana, appears to
have the lead for secretary of war;
Senator George Sutherland of West
Virginia for attorney general; former
Senator John w. Weeks for secretary
of the treasury and Harry Daugherty
for postmaster general.

this section, declared that great cat
tie shortage will be felt in Texas in
1921 as a result of the unusually
heavy runs of cattle to northern mar

New Giant to Conquer

4NO" OASShC w SOA4uCH
The mere name of Willow creek
may not sound like much of stream,
but 1t is. 1t rises over in the Soda
Springs country and meanders north
ward for nearly a hundred miles,
flows thru deep canyon and pours
its torrents out on the Snake river
plains northeast of Idaho Falls. The
original settlers in the country found
1t making its way into Snake river
at Eagle Rock but the wind finally
blew it out of its banks on the south
ern side and started Sand creek and
therein the trouble began. Blowing
the water out Of a creek may sound
remarkable and so it is. It may
sound like compliment to our wind
and that 1t true; it sounds like a
falsehood, but it is not. You may
not be intending to believe it but
that does not make any difference.
Your unbelief will not stop the water
from flowing. Willow creek is there
and the water is still flowing. If
your unbelief would stop the water
from coming you could cash in on
it; you could get a million dollars
for holding the water back with your
unbelief provided you would change
your mind for four months during
the summer season and let the water
come-gradually.
Cannot Escape
For the next four or five years
you are going to hear more about
Sand creek and Willow creek and
the Wicks drainage district than you
want to hear. You'll get utterly sick
and tired of it, but your getting sick
of it will not change the conditions
any more than the kaiser getting
sick of the world war stopped the
stream of khaki clad men from pour
ing into France. Willow creek is
going to keep right on running down
hill; Sand creek is going to keep on
passing it down grade and the
trouble will continue.
Twenty years ago the flood waters
did not disturb anybody within
twenty miles of Blackfoot. Then it
kept on down to the Cedar ridge, just
above Wapello. There were not
many settlers there and it did not
damage many people. Now it has
arrived within two or three miles of
the town of Blackfoot and the set
tiers are talking about tearing out
an old dam to let it come on down
its original course, and if they do
that it will flow right into town.
That will be bad for the streets and
easements; it will swamp the sewer
system and turn the town into a
modern Venice.
The way it is doing now it is run

GREAT WAVE OF
UNEMPLOYMENT
HITS AMERICA
Soup Kitchens and Hun
ger Riots Are Pre-
dicted for Com
ing Winter
TROUBLE BREWING
Two to Three Million
Workers Out of
Work

WASHINGTON.-Between 1000,
900 and 100000 workers are out Of
employment, department of labor Of
f1cials have estimated. The estimate
is conservative according to Wade
Skinner, assistant director of en-
ployment.
The division of employment is get.
ting machinery ready to make ma.
tion-wide industrial survey. When
its information is complete the de.
partments of labor and commerce are
expected to act to avert national dis
aster.
Labor leaders predicted soup kit
chens and hunger riots the coming
winter unless steps are taken. I'M
mediately to check what they claim is
the worst wave of unemployment
since 1907.
According to department of Labor
officials conditions will not be per-
mitted to reach the alarming stage
forecast by the labor leaders,. A
strike by the public against buying
is the undertaking cause of the pres
ent slump in industry, they said.
At the Washington headquarters
of the national industrial conference
board, which represents the big en-
ployers of the country the situation
is not so serious as it appears, that
a readjustment of prices is taking
place and that retailers are bound
to follow the downward trend of
wholesale prices. There is enough
work, the board claims, but unem-
ployed workers refuse to accept jobs
at reduced wages.
According to the. department of
labor, the industries chiefly affected
by the slump in production are the
textile, automobile rubber and ma
chine tools. Reports from the west
show that unemployment is increas-
ing through the shutting down Of
construction and road building jobs.
According to Mr.. Skinner the nor
NAL number of unemployed in the
United States each year is 100000.
During the years of the war and
from the signing of the armistice up
" Iuo pICoCuL IluC IllcIc Was d SuOI-
tage of labor. The unemployed could
have their pick of jobs at high wages.
The increasing flow of immigrants
has complicated the present unem-
ployed problem. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor, supported by the
Department of Labor will demand re-
stricted immigration through the
raising Of educational requirements
and a distribution plan by which
large percentage of the incoming
European hordes may be diverted
from factories to farms. 1t is usual
at this time of the year for the rail-
roads to lay off men in certain de-
partments, railroad union officials
stated, but more than the normal
number of railroad workers are out
of employment because of the de-
crease in shipments of steel and
grain. Lack of stabilization in indus
try, profiteering and industrial unrest
caused by, refusal Of employers to
deal with trade unions through col
lective bargaining are attributed by
the American Federation of Labor
as causes for the slump in produc-
tion.

a strike situation on a fake issue,

Members Object to Contract
System Effects Delivery
Of Northwestern Coal

Members of the. Team Owners
union employed by the Northwestern
Fuel company went on strike this
week on account of the company's
action in letting the contract for
hauling coal to a single person. It
seems that members of the union
have been dealing directly with the
company and every team owner was
assured of steady work with his
teams
Under the rules Of the union no
member can own more than two
teams. One of the members, it is
said, started last fall to acquire more
than this number, having now about
Is. teams. During the, busy hauling
season he: kept all his teams pretty
we'll employed. but as hauling de-
clined the other owners were not
given steady, employment with. their
teams. A committee was appointed
to wait on, the manager Of the COM
pany to attempt an adjustment of
their complaint, and this committee
was greeted with the information that
the contract for delivering all the
company's coal in the city had been
let to the member Of the union who
had acquired. the large number of
teams.
A meeting of the union was held
and the offending member was ex-
PEELED. The next day a strike was
called and about IA teams were
pulled off. They are still idle and

fusing to work for the. former men,
