Chief Secretary Says Commit
tee i'm Washington Had No
Official Status.

LONDON. April . tSaturday).-The
London Times this morning publishes
reply OF Sir Hamar Greenwood. the CHIEF
Secretary for Ireland. to t. F. O'Connor,
one OF the Nationalist leaders in Parlia-
ment, who had asked Sir Hamar whether
the report OF the American Commission
OF One Hundred on Conditions in ireland
had represented British forces as killing.
assassinating and torturing people and
also with destruction in ireland, and
whether the British Government would
make representations TO the American
Government in reply to this serious IN
dictment."
The note OF Sir Hamar TO Mr.. OCon-
nor follows:
mo copy Of this report has yet been
received by the Government, but un-
derstand 1t contains allegations OF the
nature indicated in your questions. The
report is entitled to no more weight
than should be given any Judgment
based entirely upon ex-parte statements
put forward by persons admittedly hold
ing extreme views.

sion has no official character, and there

THOMAS URGES EFFORT
TO PREVENT STRIKE
Declares Triple Alliance
Wants Only Fair Deal.

LONDON, April S.-J II. Thomas. Sec
retary OF the National Union OF Rail-
waymen and Member of Parliament, in
O. speech at Harrow tonight, appealed
earnestly TO all men TO unite in finding
way TO reach an honorable peace in
the strike situation. He said that fail
ing, the outlook would be desperate as
It was at Easter, 1917.
'"rhe only difference them, Mr..
Thomas asserted was we were fighting
against an external enemy. while con-
fiict now would be war between the
people themselves"
The speaker said the coal mine own
ers were crininally responsible for the
crisis, for never before had the en-
pioyers given notice of discharge to the
pump men. Neither the miners. the
railwaymen nor the transport workers
wanted q revolution. They only wanted
a fair deal.
Mr.. Thomas concluded by saying he
hoped nothing would be done to infiame
or make more bitter the present situa-
tion.

With Mine OUners.
Bv the Associated Press.

= LONDON, April S.--The standpoint of

opposed is that the sudden removal OF

Z The refusal of the miners to yield on

FSt,eprcssed condition OF industry, have

y The arguments Of tho mine's find alb

III the other newspapers condemn them
N.rfrcngly, and general regret Is expressed
tfhat the miners refused 10 listen to tho
Nndvice OF men like Herbert ~. Asquith,
S.John ". Clynes and Arthur Henderson.
In this connection Mr.. Ciynes, who ls
chairman Of the Parliamentary Labor
X,rarty made an interesting statement on
@tbe adjournment OF the House OF Com
.ffhons. While expressing regret over the
tdecision Of the miners, he said he equal

Mr.. Clyncs concluded By declaring
that the cost 10 the country through

than would have been the case IL the
Government had continued to control

CROWN FORCES LOSSES
IN IRELAND DECREASE
Weekly Summary Indicates
No Letup in Attacks.

DUBLIN, April S.-The official weekly
summary Of attacks against the police
and military, issued to-day, indicates
there are no signs of the attacks dinin-
ishing, but the casualties suffered by the
Crown forces during the week decreased
to twenty-five, as compared with forty
six last week.
Seven police barracks were attacked
and two policemen murdered, the state
ment says. while ten civilians were slain
by Sim Feiners. Eighty-one persons
were interned, the total number now in
termed being 2,527.
There has been a widespread cam
paign against spies and informers' the
last few days. Thomas Byrnes,
former soldier. was shot dead in the
presence of his mother in Drumlish.

or this matter tine reply of the miners
was that there was no use OF doing so
unless there was a subsidy. IL was
clearly acknowledged by the miners that
at the present time the profits of the coal
industry are not sufficient TO yield the
wages the miners demand, and the only
case presented TO the Government by
the miners is one for an immediate
subsidy from the Exchequer.
ITO this proposition the Government
has been unable to agree for reasons
already stated and which are easily
understood. An attempt is now being
made 10 enforce decision which would
be reversal of the decision taken by
Parliament, by direct action, which
would have the effect OF destroying es-
scntial assets or the community. We are
lighting for the life Of the community
and we shall use every force winch the
community has at its disposal"

Bolshevist Invaders
81 the Associated Press.

STOCKHOLM, April 8. - The
tension which has been no
ticeable recently between Russia
and Finland is becoming more
acute. Bolsheviki have invaded
Therepola and f-orajearvi dis
tricts, to which the Russo-Fin-
nish peace treaty had guaran-
teed autonomy. The inhabitants
of the districts are fleeing into
the interior of Finland and the
local force Of Finnish militia has
been withdrawn.
The Dage1s Press, the leading
Helsingfors newspaper, says con-
cerning the situation: Whether
the Bolsheviki are moved by
strength or despair this much is
certain: We shall get nothing if
we show weakness. We must
speak clearly and forcibly If we
want respect for the peace treaty

MINE OWNERS DETAIL
DAMAGE TO WORKINGS
Cite Flooded Pits and Extent
of Injury.

LONDON, April S.-Mine owners to-
night attempt to refute the opinion of
John r. Clynes, chairman of the Parlia-
mentary Labor party. as expressed in the
House of Commons this afternoon, that
the actual damage done to the mines UP
to the present had been small. The
statement says reopening the flooded
pits will be costly and that only frac-
tion of the regular men employed can be
set to work during restoration.
Several pits in Wales Staffordshire
and elsewhere have been irretrievably
ruined where organized gangs OF toughs
forced abandonment Of pits, while in
Scotland destruction of colliery workings
is most serious.
In Lanarkshire. Fifeshire and in the

Supreme Council Must Decide
Boundaries Before April 2I.

PARIS, April S.--Gcn. Lerond, head or
the Inter-Allied Commission which
supervised the recent plebiscite in Upper
Silesia. arrived In Paris to-day, bring
ing with him, IL is presumed. the report
on the plcbiscte, upon which the SUI
preme Council, under the terms of the
peace treaty. must decide, before April
81. the boundaries between Poland ana
Germany in this district.
II is considered unlikely here that the
demand OF the Germans that the re-
suit should be considered as a whole,
and the entire district given them, be-
cause they obtained a majority of ths
total vote. will be taken seriously. The
peace treaty Is interpreted as obliging
the Supreme Council TO assign to Poland
the districts which gave a majority In
