These people, the report said, were
composed of men and women who have
quietly gone about their peaceful pur-
suits all their lives and who have re-
Trained from taking part in armed
activities.
The report, the result of inyestiga-
ton in nearly 100 communities Tas
made public, the committee officials
said, in order that the American people
may have the opportunity of judging
by this first hand evidence OF un-
biased witnesses the extent of the des-

Regarding labor conditions, the re-
port said:
Eve may point out that even when
employed the workman receives wage
so low that it would be difficult for
an American to understand how the
Irish workman can support himself
and his family.
''The prevailing wage for ordinary
unskilled labor ranges from 500 to
S14O a year.
Today the 25,OOO families to which
we refer, have not even this scauty

farmers who supplied these creameries
with milk are suffering severe loss.
During the last year more than
30 attacks by crown forces were made
on cooperative creameries, resulting
in their total Or partial destruction.
The amount necessary to restore these
creameries is 114.279 pounds"
"Your delegation said the report
viewed this damage personally and
took thorough survey Of the damage
to property. In addition. written
statements from reliable sources were
supplied regarding material damage in
