BITTER FIGHT ON IRISH ISSUE
verba, Encounter at White Heat Wher
Recess Is Taken-Committe
Report Cuts Out Boycott.

Denver-The forecast bitter fight
over the Irish question was precipi.
tated upon the floor of the convention
Of the American Federation of Labor
and was at its height when President
Samuel Gompers adjourned the con-
vention.
The debate started when the resolu-
tion committee reported as substitute
for the four resolutions introduced by
Irish sympathizers. The substitute
ignored the effort to initiate boycott
against British manufacturers and i'm.
ports.
The committees report disposed OF
the Irish question by asking the con-
vention to reasfirm its sympathy for
the IRISH cause, by urging recognition
of the Irish republic and by urging
trial and punishment for British army
nen guilty. of atrocities in Ireland.
No sooner had the committees re-
port been read when Cornelius Foley,
delegate of the BARRIERS union, took
the floor reading telegram from Har-
ry Boland, secretary to Eamon de
Valera, provisional president of the
Irish republic" which said:
The organization american Fed
Grafton OF Labor is looked ON to do
something for Ireland. We want the
boycott or nothing
Mr.. Foley declared that there is
oaly one place where we can hurt
England and that is in her pocket
book"
Christian NJ. Madsen, of the Chi
cago Federation OF Labor, then moved
to amend the committee report by
adding a clause calling for a boycott
by American labor against British
goods and British companies as long
as the British government maintains
sc barbarous and destructive policy
in Ireland
A point of order was raised that this
could not be introduced because it was
part of the resolutions already re-
jected by the committee. President
Gompers sustained the point of order
and adjourned the convention while
several delegates were struggling for
recognition of the chair.
The resolution reported by the com.
mittee was virtually. identical with one
submitted by committee of Irish
sympathizers headed by Peter Brady,
of New York, except that some of the
more drastic phrases were omitted
The committee also struck outa para
graph demanding that President Har-
ding, his cabinet and congress take
necessary steps to demand from Great
Britain the defaulted interest and loan
due the United States and now used
in part to promote the brutal cam.
paign in Ireland

Oatman, Ariz.-Fire swept the bust

half dozen buildings are standing

The damage is estimated at from
$250,000 to 100000, with practically
no insurance None of the mines or
mine buildings were damaged.
Oatman had a production of about
$30,000,000 from its gold mines last
year. Its present production is con-
siderably less, having averaged about
$250,0U0 monthly Of late.
Four persons were seriously burned.

ELEVEN PERSONS MEET

You'd ecoenition-Evidence
Hints at Foul Play.

Mayfield, Ky.-Charred beyond rec
ognition and with only parts OF limbs,
trunks and skull recovered, the bodies
OF eleven persons, representing two
families, were found burned to death
at the home Of Ernest Lawrence, six
miles north of this city, near Hickory
Grove.
The fire, which destroyed the log
and frame three room fcsm house,
started about midnight and lasted un-
til nearly 4 o'clock in the morning.
When the fire had subsidized enough
for neighbors to reach the victims,
there was hardly enough flesh and
bones to identify the dead.
Neighbors residing north of the al
most isolated little farm home stated
under oath at the coroners inquiry
that they heard the screams of WON
en- and children and heard six or seven
shots. The discovery of a 80 caliber
rifle, pistol, shot gun, ak and an
oil can all in the front room where

the action could be cleaned. Neither

Sheriff Marion Mccain said after
spending the day working on the case:
There is no doubt every person in
the house was murdered, A dress OF
one of the bodies was drenched in
blood which prevented the clothing
from burning. An ak was found in
bed with one of the women. A five
gallon coal oil can, usually kept in the
kitchen. was found just inside the
room where the eleven were sleeping.

EQUAL RIGHTS ARE DENIED

Denver, Colo.-The convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
voted down a constitutional amend.

rights and privileges of membership

try
All affiliated unions, however, were
urged not to discriminate against the
woman wage Garner and admit her to
membership.
Efforts to wipe out the "color line
in organized labor organizations also
failed. The convention took the stand
that national and international unions
could not be compelled to recognize
negro workers, and that this was a
matter to be adjusted by conference
between the negro wage carriers and
the various organizations.
Both questions were fhe subjects of
long and stormy debates in which dis.
elimination by certain unions against
the negro and woman wage earners
was bitterly denounced.
The committees report rejected the
constitutional amendment to give
women industrial equality" defended
the federation's stand on women in
industry and cited efforts to get better
