Cork, Jan. 23-"The Sim Feiners
are as far as ever from any intention
of accepting the partition act though
lit is probable they may be prepared
to use the electoral machinery thus
provided to ascertain the sentimnet
of the people," said Professor Alfred
O'Rahilly, registrar of the university
of Cork, one of the principal leaders
of the Irish movement today.
II do not doubt that the Sim Feil-
ers would be returned by a larger
majority than in the last election" ne

Discussing the possibility of peace,
Professor O'Rahilly said:
g. am certain that the Sim Fein
will not attempt negotiations either
! fer the alternative scheme OF the
country or for truce until the gov.
eminent is prepared to meet the Dali
Eireann. The published records O!
violence are enough to show how RI
cIculous is Major General Sir Edward
s;trIckland's claim that martial law
has succeeded in breaking the organ
/ izstion of the republican arm. 1t pos.
sibly has changed with the require
ments of the situation and probably
is much less centralized. but for tie
purposes of guerilla warfare it seems
as effective as ever

Italian WOODEN
Workers in Free-for-
All at Lawrence

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 23.-While
Italian employees of the American
Wooden Company's mills were hold
ing a meeting today to protest against
misrepresentation by agitators, 20t
men said to be members of the Anal
gamated Textile Workers, singing the
Internationale, entered the hall. a
general fight followed. Police re-
serves were called and used their
clubs freely to stop the disturbance.
Some of the Italians fled from the
hall by windows and doors when the
Amaleamated forces rushed in, but
those who stood their ground offered
a stout resistance. The three police
:nen on duty at the meeting were
beaten back and sent call for aid
When the reserves arrived the Ital-
ians and their unlimited visitors de-
parted in struggling groups.
The italian workers declared thai
agitators from outside the city had
used the name of their nationality to
cause labor disturbances in which
they had no part. This, they assert
ed, worked q hardship on them and
prevented them from obtaining en-
ployment.

according to announcement of the
Right Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, rector
of the Catholic University. A special
appeal has been issued to all Catho-
lies of the United States to participate

bolized by the lights.
Never We're wisdom and courage
more needed by the head of our great
American democracy" said Bishop

ought to offer of that day March ~
the earnest prayer that God will
guide our chief executive wisely and
well; that the evils Of the late war
may be abolished and our nation en-
ter again upon the way of progress
through justice and charity. The

ito Of the new president-problem

solution Of which depends the happi-
ness of the American people,"
