mcnt Conceded All Demands.
TBy Associated Press !

DUBLIN. April 1i.-Sixty-e -eigh hit
hunger strikers were ordered re-
leased from Mountjoy Prison today.
Only four Of the prisoners had
been removed from Mountjoy Prison,
when the government interviewed
with conditions. ordering reincarcer-
alton after hospital treatment. The

the order canceliing the general
strike was rescinded.
The Lord Mayor went to see Lord
French at the viceregal lodge, anu
stated on his return that the prison.
ers would be released unconditioa-
ally.
The prisoners had refused to ac-
cept tho stipulation on the ground
that 1t WAS u reapplication of cat
and mouse" policy.
The rclense OF the prisoners, an
nounccdsat .oi:lock inIthe afternoon
is regarded RS complete triumph
for the hunger strike" and its ally,
the general strike. which was then
declared at an end.
The prison's board received an
order that henceforth. under the de-
Tense of realm act. prisoners should
receive "ameliorate" treatment from
the date OF their arrest until their
trial for a specific oTense.
The visit to Dublin, OF james Henry
Thomas. general secretary of the
British Union OF Railwaymen, and
Labor member of Parliament for
Derby, is regarded as having had a
share In the decision for the release
OF the men. as there was danger OF
strike in England in support OF
the Irish cause. Mr.. Thomas made
"a speech from II window ~ the labor
executive offices this afternoon in
dors!ng the action OF the hunger
strikers.

Praises Ncbraxkn'n Labor.
1T is gratifying to know that the
people of our State. both in and out
of the service, stood in the forefront
in support of the war against P.us-
sian aggression. Following the pr:n-
ciple OF equal opportunity, our people
have insisted on the education OF
both the native and foreign born. and
today we boast smaller percentage
of illiteracy than cny other State.
They must not in future be surround
ed with hampering restrictions. on
erous regulations or adverse market
conditions which prevent fulhnment
OF their duty toward the millions the
world over who depend on them for
food.
Labor in Nebraska is especially
honorable. and the laboring man
there is held in high esteem. He is
not carried away by vague or idle
theories OF government. and does not
follow false or revolutionary lead
ers. Nebraska labor maintains Il
sane and patriotic attitude towards
our institutions and stands ever
ready to defend them"
