Boycott of British Goods

DENVER, Col. June 1910. p. Foley,

half OF the delegates who are wag-
ing hot fight for the resolution In

made goods.
~The proposal TO boycott British
made goods, as embodied in resolu-
tion No. 119 now before the com
mittee on resolutions OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, is going TO
be made the test OF real friendship
OF ireland at this convention. Make
no mistake about that. 1t Is also the
test of true kmericanism, for no true
blooded American can fail to support
n when he understands the issue.

all excellent in their way and I am
not opposed to any of them, but reso-

EXPRESS COMPANY ASKS
PAY RAISE CANCELLED

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The American
Railway Express Company presented
a petition to the railroad labor boa rd
yesterday asking that wage increases
granted by the board in August 1920,
be abolished
l.. r Gwyn, chairman OF the COM
psny's board OF wages and working
conditions, asked that wages OF all
employees. except shop crafts forces,
be reduced. The company expected a
reduction asreement with the shop
crafts, he said.
The average wage of all employees
OF the company increased from s7I .33
in December, 1917, TO s13s.5i in March,
1921, Mr.. Gwyn testified.

ly what we condemned the Germans
for In Belgium. When the Germans
perpetrated cruelties in Belgium II
was said that the German people
could not be blamed and the reply
was that the German people had ac-
quiesced. Exactly the same charge
can be brought against the British
people IL they acquiesce without pro-
test in what is being done in Ireland
today
81 point out to the working people
of America that the same charge can
be brought against them IL they fail
to protest against the british cam
paign OF terror in Ireland. II we re-
fuse to make an effective protest we
are equally guilty with the British OF
being parties to the terrible crimes
in Ireland. Resolution No. 119 Is an
effective protest Certainly no Irish
man can fail to vote for IL and I can
not see how any true Amerleah sn
fail to do so, no matter what his race.
For the essence of true Amerlcanism
.ls to protest effectively against ty-
ranny and oppression whenever they
show their ugly heads.
TIME FOR ACTION.
The time has come to cease Civ
ing, mere lip service in the cause OF
humanity. II does little or no good
to hold UP our hands In holy horror
In this terrible thing or to pass reso-
lutions of protest with the tenacting
clause left out We must make pro-
test effective. Our most effective
weapon is the boycott It is the en-
acting clause without which other
resolutions are mere words.
SO long as we send money to Eng
land we are supplying the means with
which the British government is kill
ing Innocent women and children in
Ireland and rsvsging the homes of
countless thousands of non-oombat-
ants and burning and destroying the
industries OF the Irish nation. l. for
one, will not furnish any money to be
used In this iniquitous campaign.
And ] want the men and women of
the lsobr movement Of America to
understand this issue clearly so that.
VI the Denver convention fails to pass
resolution No. 119, they will know
that their delegates have withheld
from Ireland the only real aid in
their power to give to this nation in
It's hour OF dire need"

FREE CANAL PASS
FOR j. s. SHIPS IS
Fought BY RING
Borah and Knox Charge Effort
To Continue Panama Tolls
Is MADE in America"
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
InternstionsI News Service.

A strongly organized and highly
financed 'drive" to defeat the
Borah proposal for the free use of
the Panama Canal by American
coastwise vessels is in full swing
today.
Members of Congress are being
deluged with carefully prepared
and skillfully worded propaganda
intended to convince them that to
repeal the tolls now levied upon
American coastwise vessels passing
through the canal would be unfair
and unjust discrimination against
railroads handling coastwise and
transcontinental freight.
BORAH AWARE OF MOVE.
Senator Borah, Republican. OF
Idaho, author of the measure favora-
bly, reported recently by the Senate
1nteroceanic' Canals Committee, real
izes he and other Senator's uphoIding
that right have a hard fght ahead
of them. But they believe American
public opinion is behind them. and
they expect to win.
At a recent meeting OF the BoraA
committee, Senator Knox, Repub-
lican, OF Pennsylvania, one OF it's
members, stated that foreign inter
ests, notably those of Great Britain.
were really not the "nigger in the
woodpile" behind the strong opposi-
ton to the free use OF the canal by
American vessels. Senator Knox
attributed the levying of tolls upon
American vessels, and the compelling
them to pay their way through an
American waterway, to interests
right In this country
BoRAH PROPOSAL FIRST.
After further discussion of the ex-
pressed determination of Senator
bprsh TO give American coastwise
vessels the riEht-of-way to the canal.
the committee agreed to try out the
Borah proposal nrst. and then IL its
proponents succeeded In getting Com
gress to adopt II, to attempt the
passage of the bills sponsored by
senators Poindexter and Jones, of
Republicans, which
would exempt air American vessels,
whether engaged in foreign or
domestic trade, from the payment of
tolls for the privilege OF passing
through an American waterway.
Typical of the propaganda pouring
IN upon senators and Congressmen
alike Is one open letter. in which
u is declared that Vessels in the
coastwise trade do not need exemp-
tion from tolls In order to compete
with the railroads, whereas the rail-
roads should not be subjected to the
additional burden OF Governmental
assistance to a competing form OF
transportation, particularly at this
time when their financial condition
Is so precarious"
Another argument being advanced
Is that provision must be made for
funds to defray the cost OF opera
ton OF the canal, its maintenance and
Improvement '' and to exempt any
vessel from the payment OF proper
tolls would necessitste an in
creaoe in the charge to be made TO
other vessels not so exempted

without which none of them Is effec-
tive. To fail to adopt II would be
like striking out the enacting clause,
a device commonly used by poli-
ticians who serve the big interests
to kill legislation designed to release
the oppressed from their bondage.
Resolution No. 119 calls for an offi-
ciaI boycott. by the A. +. of l., on all
British-made goods except Canadian
goods made by workers affilistei
with the A. f. of l. 1t Is an effec-
tive protest against the Campaign
OF terrorism now being conducted by
the British imperial forces in Ire
land.
QUOTES BRITIsH PAPER.
This campaign is, summed up In
a statement by A., g. Gardiner. the
British liberal writer. published In
1920. as follows: f'ht 80.
1.-The story of English rule in Ire
land Is the darkest tragedy on earth.
with the single exception OF the trag-
edy In Armenia. We have assassinat-
ed the Irish nation for six hundred
years. We have burned its towns and
put its people to the sword. We have
destroyed It's manufacturers. Again
and again we have placed In Irelan nd
garrisons to overawe the population.
We have driven the people from the
soil so that today the population is
only one-hslf what II was a century
ago. There is no tale OF corruption
so stained, 50 malignant. In the an.
nails OF civilized Europe.
Perhaps l did not need to add any
thing to this statement by Bri-
fisher, unless II be to point out that
British forces in Ireland have .yio
lated every rule of The Hague con
vention governing warfare without a
single exception and every rule OF
civilized warfare and have outraged
the dictates, cf humanity and mercy.

OF the Protestant Church of Eng
land, said In an address in the
