Although a condition very much
resembling civil war has existed for
more than a week at Londonderry,
Ireland, with rioting. street b~arricades
and casualties mounting into the hun
dreds, it is not believed that it is the
match which will touch off the great
conhagration involving Unionists, Ma
tionalists and Sim Feiners. While
conditions have also been bad in Bel
fast and a few other places and the
general situation is regarded as grave,
it is pointed out that the disturbed
areas are the centers of violent par
tisanship and frequently subject to
turbulence. The government state
Eent says that such outbreaks are to
be expected and do not indicate that
a state of war throughout Ireland is
Immediately impending. The railroad
situation, wherein the employees re-
fuse to operate trains carrying sol
diers or military supplies is the most
serious with which the government has
to deal. The authorities have made
two threats against the strikers, one
to operate the trains with troops, and
the other to stop rail traffic entirely.
The course of near events appears to
hinge upon the governments ability to
handle the transportation crisis.

Both Republican and Democratic
candidates for the presidency will have
the usual amount of company in the
way of side parties. These are very
interesting this year. Certain ele-
ments among the suffragists are
threatening an independent party on
account of failure of Democrats and
Republicans to force a sufficient num-
Der of states to adopt the suffrage
amendment. Certain drys threaten a
party because Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are too wet or neutral. The
vets threaten a party because the
other parties are too dry. Some
negroes threaten a party of their

Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, as

Lincoln. Radicals, each n of whom
is a party to himself, are going to try

siasm for Senator LaFoIlette of Wis

the fact that the. senator in all his

the actions of his party, has overcome

Editor Hearst, who failed to die
tate the nominee of the Republican
party and whose counsels seem to
have lost some of their weight in the
Democratic party, is trumpeting loud

Mayor Thompson, who was a Repub-
liean until defeated for national COM

of his state heaped an indignity upon
him by knocking out a primary law
under which his machine had been
successful, is said to be building a
springboard to make some kind of a
flop. Editor Alexander Moore of

With the ending of the armistice
between the French in Cilicia and
Mustapha Renal Pasha, leader of the
Turk Nationalist, came the announce
ment of a conference between Mar
shall Foch of France and Sir Henry
Wilson, British chief of staff, at which
1t was decided to wage a strong cam
paign against the Turks, Neither
France nor England being willing to
send more soldiers, it is reported that
Greece will furnish the troops and
the two allied countries most Of the
officers. AS a reward Greece is to
have Smyrna. The Turkish situation
is regarded as a serious one. The
peace treaty practically abolished the
Turkish empire, parceling the rich
est portions among the allies and con-
ining the Turks to a small district in
Asia Minor without a port, which
leaves them ringed by Greeks, Armeni-
ans'and other hostile nationalities. A
realization that this would occur was
responsible for the revolt under KEN
al. The total French casualties dur
ing the temporary occupation Of
Cilicia were 5000 men, including Ar
menian troops, and 124 officers. Al
ready the British have suffered heav-
fly from Turk attacks, although their
casualties have not been announced.
Troops are on the way to meet Kemal's
forces, which are said to have ad-
vanced beyond Ismid in the direc-
ton of Constantinople. Last week
British ships were reported lombard
ing the approaches to Ismid.
American Red Cross units are en-
gagged in handling refugee work for
southern Russia from Constantinople
and general relief work in Poland, the
Baltic states, Montenegro, Albania,
Serbia, Czecho- Slovakia, Greece and
Italy, but activities of the United
States in foreign countries are rapid
ly being curtailed. Outside of Ger
many, the only military mission of the
United States is that headed by Col.
w. N. Haskell, which was assigned by
President Wilson in November, 1919,
to assist the neal East relief commit
tee in its work in Asia Minor. In Ger
many 80 United States officers are
serving on the inter-a1lied high COM
mission, being included among the III
officers who, with 1861 enlisted men,
constitute the United States army of
occupation.

The more conservative branch Of or
ganized workmen, as represented In
the American Federation of Labor,
closed a two-weeks' annual convention
at Montreal, Canada, June 10. Sam
uel Gonpers, the reelected president
of the organization, succeeded after a
stormy opposition from the friends
of Ireland in securing an Endorsement
of the League of Nations without res
e%rvations. The opposition was against
the covenant because Of the view that
it guarantees the integrity Of the Brit
ish empire.
Labor's program as formulated by
the convention demands follows:
Ratification Of the peace treaty.
Government ownership with demo-
cratic operation of the railroads.
Curb on profteering and high cost
of living with Jail sentences for prof
iteers.
Right to strike and abolition Of COM
pulsory arbitration and anti-strike leg
islation.
Hands off in Mexico by the United
States government.
Endorsement of the Irish republic.
Right of collective bargaining.
Advances in wages wherever neces-
sary to. maintain the American stand
ard of living.
Shorter workday if necessary to pre-
vent unemployment.
These recommendations will be
launched against the Democratic con-
vention at San Francisco, with a
strong effort by President Gompers
and other leaders to secure their in.

nations desiring independence, with
out any specific mention of Ireland. In
asmuch as the Wilson league o
nant will be opposed by the Bryan fac
ton, the Democratic senator's VINO
voted for the Lodge reservations ana
by other anti-administration elements;
and as strong forces are working
for a modification of the Volstead pro-
hibition enforcement act, either OF
these questions is regarded as sufh-
cient to force a fight on the floor OF
the convention itself. While there are
many friends of Irish independence in
the convention, it is not a domestic
question, and may go through in any
manner In which the resolutions COM
mittee decides to treat 1t.

If no strikes occur and present con-
ditions of production continue, there
Is less prospect of a famine in soft
coal next winter. The United States
geological survey announces that pro-
duction so far in 1920 is about 3D.
100000 IONS ahead of the same period
last year. The action of the inter
state commerce commission in pro-
viding more cars at the mines and in
granting preference and priority or
ders for the transportation of soft
coal have had a favorable result.
Nevertheless, forehanded people,
warned by the experience of last win
ter, are laying in coal wherever pos
sible. Coal prices show no inclination
to drop.
