IRISH STRIFE is
LIKE OUR CIVIL
WAR SAYS PREMIER

London, April 19-(By The Assoc
ciated Press Prime Minister Lloyd
George defends the governments
policy in Ireland and cites the Amer
lean Civil war as providing an exact
parallel for the situation involving
the fundamental issue of union or
secession, in his reply today to the
recent memorial sent him by nine
Anglican bishops and the heads OF
the principal non conformist church,
es in Great Britain.
In this memorial the signors en-
dorsed the protest of the archbishop
of Canterbury in the House of Lords
against reprisals in Ireland and
pleaded for a truce. Among other
things, the memorial declared that
the governments policy in Ireland
exposed Great Britain to "misunder-
standing and hostile criticism, even
of the friendliest of the worlds ma
TONS
Mr.. Lloyd George in his letter of
reply declares:
"At the outbreak of the American
struggle nearly everyone in this is
land sympathiZed with the South.
Even Gladstone took this view and
only John Bright did not waver in
his adherence to Lincoln's cause
That war lasted four years and cost
million lives and much devastation
and ruin There was more destruc-
ton of property in a single Confed-
crate county than has been caused
by all the SO called reprisals through
out ireland.
Lincoln rejected truce andeom-
promise. as he often said he was
fighting for the union and meant to
save it, even if he could only do so
at the price of retaining slavery in
the South. Is there man or woman
today who does not admit that the
North was right, and who does not
see the calamitous result which
would have followed the breaking up
of the American union. / doubt II
| there is responsible man in the
southern states today, however much
he admires great figures like Jack
son and Lee. who is not glad that the
Union was preserved, even at that
terrible cost"

Mine
OWNERS Make
SECOND OFFER
Believed Long Step
Toward Settlement
of Coal Strike
Result of Conference With
Government Officials - Pro-
vides for National Wage
Boards Other Proposals
Covering Controversy

London, April 19.-(By the Associat-
ed Press).-The mine owners late to-
night completed proposals which, it
was believed, may go some way to-
wards the settlement of the coal
strike. This was the outcome of a
conference held at the Board of Trade
between the owners and government
officials, where a revision of their pre-
vious offer to the miners was fully
considered. The new proposals are:
First, the establishment of a ma
tional wage board.
Second the application of national
principles to wages in each district,
based on the financial condition of the
industry in the respective districts.
Third, the periods for ascertaining
district results to be settled nationally.
Fourth, the point below which
wages shall not be automatically re-
duced to be determined nationally.
Fifth to turn over as wages to the
wirkers. in addition to these rates. the
whole of the surplus revenue available
in each district during the existing
abnormal period.
Sixth, to satisfy the workers repre-
sentatives in each district that the
district is proposing to pay all the
wages it can bear.
Seventh, to confer with the workers
Representatives with a view to dealing
with the wages of the lower paid men.
Eighth, to seek an agreement with
the workers on a national basis re-
garding the relation between wages
and profits for the future.
Ninth, providing for a joint audit
Of the mine owners books.
After the board of trade conference
the president of the owners associa-
ton said: 1--WE are hoping that the
miners will meet us on the wage
question very soon."
1t is possible, therefore, that the
next "a hours may see the re-opening
of negotiations, although the miners
, thus far appear DESTROYS of awaiting
the results of their delegates meeting
Friday.
In the meantime the situation
arising through the Shortage of coal
is growing more serious day by day.
In many of the poorer districts of
London and other cities, where the
people buy in small quantities owing
to lack of storage, coal can not be
obtained and long lines of women
and children wait in the hope of OBJ
tanning sufficient to keep themselves
warm. Every hour sees more facto-
ries closed and more men and wo-
men thrown out of employment
The North Staffordshire Potteries
closed down today. depriving 10000
men of work. while in all parts of the
, country iron and steel works are
damping their fires. 1t is estimated
that between 800 and 900 steamers are
tied up owing to stagnation of trade
and the strike.

NY. LABOR COUNCIL
ANSWER Def OF
U.S.. STEEL HEADS

New York, April 19-The Central
Trades and Labor Council of Great
err New York, representing approx
mately 100000 union workers, issued
statement tonight replying to
Chairman Ebert H. Gary's criticism
of labor unions in an address yester-
day at the annual meeting of the
United States Steel Corporation.
"Organized labor will rest it's case
with the general public" said the
statement, eff the interests that
Judge Gary represents will agree to
do SO without any ramification.
His statement that unionism seeks
to destroy is far from the truth and
can be testified to by hundreds of
employers in this country who know
different. That unionism makes in
efficiency and high cost is also a fall
lacy. His advocacy of the open shop
is really a closed shop against union
labor
Charging that the "steel trust and
other corporations supported large
Hobbies in the legislative halls of our
various states and our national gov
eminent" the statement asked, why
is it not fair for workers to do the
same thing?"
Judge Gary evidently believes that
the. labor movement of today should
be no further advanced than the
serfs were hundreds of years ago
when the labor of human being was
a commodity owned by it's master.
"Mr. Gary's reference to the large
funds being created for the purpose
of organizing the workers in the
trade unions denotes alarm Surely
capital organizes to protect it's inter-
ests, why not the workers? The I'M
fortunate part, as we view It, is the
fact that we can not raise the enor-
nous amount of money that capital
is able to raise"

slowly and softly in tones scarcely au-
iible to those in the rear of the audi
torium. There was a distinct tremor
in his voice, his face was sad as he
framed in his mind the words to suit
the moment in such impressive con-
trast to the vivid spectacle on Bolivar
hill.
II haven't time to stay and talk to
you today" he barely whispered. but
L just want you to know that if there
is anything I can do to set aglow a
flame in the soul that is denied the
light, God helping me l mean to do it.
l would like to make all America re-
alize what this great work means and
to do it's utmost to help those who can

Il would like to make you UNDER

your hearts and I wish for you all the
joy that you can find in compensa-
ton for the loss of the great light.

campaign you have before you"
