Irish leaders were apparently anx- dous to d1spel the British belief that cede any further direct negotiations between the Sim Fein and the Eng fish government.
 Neither Eamonn De Valera nor the Sinn Fein cabinet intend that the English should recognize the Irish republic before any further steps are taken" the International News Service was told by one Sim proach the conversations unfettered. We do not wish to be restricted.' Every one here recognizes that Ireland's fate is in the balance as the British cabinet is meeting at Inver- ness The decision of the cabinet is fbeing awaited with the greatest anx- ttety. ment was sounded by the Freeman's Journal. which said:
 Mere can be done in half ap Fhour's direct talk than in reams of notes.''
 Inverness, Scotland, Sept. 7--"We have made great progress" said Pre- | rnier Lloyd George at the conclusion of the first session of the cabinet meeting today. to discuss the Irish peace situation and draft a reply to Eamonn DeValera's latest note.
 We hape to make a definite re- ply,' said the Premier: 'The sitting will be resumed during the after noon."
 The initial session lasted from il ! o'clock until Is minutes after 1, when
 a recess was taken for luncheon. ! Premier Lloyd-George had con- | ferred with King George at Moy Hall ] early in the morning. The Premier ] and the King had breakfast together and later stro1led upon the terrace oi the famous old castle. The Premier smoked a cigar and emphasized some l;of the points of his talk, by a slight
 wave of his hand as the conversations l continued. After leaving the King, Premier Lloyd-George motored to tInverness, where he was given a vo- EciferpuS welcome.

Pershing Says Policies of T his Country
 Not Determined By Labor Unions

''I want to say that every American is a patriot whether he belongs to some labor orga nization or is just an ordinary citizen and that it is not a. question of labor unions, it is not question of any organization, it is not a question of whether we belong to some association or not.
 "It is a question of whether we are loyal citizens of the United States am here to say to you that the members of the labor unions were not the only ones who won the war It was the citizens who inherited their patriotism from their forefath- cred who came across in the May flower and helped determine and decide the independence of America as well as those who have adopted American institutions IS their own 1t seems to be about time for us td rise up and say that Am shall be ruled and governed by American citi- zens and not by oreaniza lions, whieh have their own selfish purposes to serve.'
 The incident however. did nos dc veIop into a. debate and end4d with Gen. Pcrshsngs speech.

 Control
 At Mines
Senate Committee May Take This Step To End
 End Conflicts Between
 Miners And Operators.

Washington, Sept Government control of the West Virginia coal fields to end permanently the vio- lence which has been recurring in them for years, is being seriously considered today by members of the Senate committee appointed to in vestigate the repeated conflicts be- tween miners and oprators
 In the continued absence of Sena- tor Kenyon, of Iowa, the chairman, and other committee members were reluctant to discuss what recommen- dations would probably be made for preventing another outbreak in the mine war. Several of them express ed the opinion, however. that the sa- lutory effect that Federal interven- tion has had upon the situation will be regarded as an object lesson by the committee, when it makas a re- port to the Senate.
 No change ahs been made yet in the plan to have the committee meet at Huntington, on Sept. IS, to pro- ceed into the troublesome territory, it was stated. No word has been re- ceived from Senator Kenyon that he is contemplating any change in the plan which was made before the re- cent fighting began.

The Chilean envoy said that this country held that the League of Na- revise the treaty of 1904, between Chile and Bolivia.
 Note: The so-caIIed Tacna-Arica dispute between Chile and Bolivia concerns territory Bolivia has no out let to the Pacific and claimed terri tory at the extreme northern end of Chile between the cities of Tacna. and Africa. Under the treaty in question Chile retained the disputed ground, but all owed Bolivia free transport to the sea.
 The dispute was referred to the 1 League of Nations by Bolivia and the Bolivian delegation demanded a re- vision of the treaty along with recog- hilton of the Bolivian demands.
 "If the assembly accepts the de- mands of Bolivia, then Chile can no longer participate in the activities of this assembly," said Senor Edwards. If the League considers revision of the Bolivian treaty, Germany may la ter demand revision of the Treaty of Versailles. l ask that the assembly take an immediate vote upon the natter
 Senor Edwards denied that Bolivia is completely cut off from the sea-
 "Chile allows Bolivia to make shipments to and from the sea- said the Chilean delegate. Chile even al- lows munitions to pass which may be uSeu dSdlISL our own country 1dIST. | appeal to Bolivia to withdraw her de- rnand."
 Senor Aramayo. head of the Roliv- ian delegation, in replying to Senor Edwards said there could be no hope of lasting peace in South America if the present Bo1ivian-Chi1ean treaty stands He moved that the Bolivian demands be sent to a committee for examination before any vote was ta- ken.
 The Bolivian envoy was successful in obtaining delay. Assembly decid- ed to postpone further discussion of the South American dispute, until it could be considered, with the under standing that a definite decision be reached before the assembly adjourn Both sides agreed to this.

Washington, Sept 7-Gen. Persh- ing and Samuel Gonpers had tilt last night at a dinner given as the conclusion of the exercises here cele- brating Lafayette-Marne Day. At least official Washington regards it as a clash over the question of whether labor won the war.
 MT. Gonpers had spoken on the af- ter dinner program and while he made no claim that labor won the war he did tell of the record of the American Federation of Labor during the war and declared that previous to the entry of the United States it's sympathy was with the cause of the Allies.
 Gen. Pershing, however, apparently regarded MT. Gonpers remarks as a claim that labor had won the war. Some of those who heard his remarks quote him as having said substan- tially:
 .-rhe policies Of tllis republic are not determined by labor unions or by any other organizations, but the cor census of opinion of its patriotic citi- zens of whatever affiliations.

18th Amendment
 Objectionable

Salt Lake City. Utah, Sept. 7-'.To me the writing into our constitution of the eighteenth amendment was un- pardonable," said the Rt. Rev. Fhom- as F. Gailor, Episcopal bishop of Tennessee on the eve of the fourth synod of the province of the Pacific of the Episcopal church which opened today.
 q take no part in politics; I am neither Republican nor Democrat in such questions" declared Bishop Gailor, .sbut politicians of both part ies have played politics with the good name and the conscience of this coun- try. Whatever in the League of Nations. was repugnant, could have been written out but to refuse to countenance any measure for univer- sal peace was nothing but a denial of every principle for which this country went to war.
 s.As to prohibition, that is a delicate question but I have always asserted my belief and never have evaded a question. The saloons were going; the church was making headway against what evil there was in liquor To my mind it was nothing short of hysteria that put over a restriction which could not hope to suppress that evil"

Indications
 Show Big Enrolment

Although no figures were available tyet today on the enrollment in the tschools of the city for the new term which began this morning, all lndica- ttions pointed to the largest enroll ment in the history of Bridgeport The greatest amount of crowding was expected In the high school. Principal Moore said this noon that The could not make an estimate of tthe total number that wished to at Etend high school this year, partic- Iularly as the incoming freshman lclass does not report until this af- tternoon, but he said that even in the upper grades the registration was heavier than ever before.
 It is thought likely that a large number of pupils will have to take their high school education in other buildings. MT. Moore expressed the opinion that at least two schools would have to give high school work of the first grade in their junior high tschool departments. The accommo- dations for freshman in the main building is big enough to take care of approximately 1900 pupils, but tthis will not be nearly enough for ithe crowd of expected applicants.
 Some complaints are being made Eby ''Model' teachers because of the fact that the model school plan has [been abandoned this year and there fore these teachers will receive less tent of Schools Slawson explained Fthat there is no real reduction of salaries involved for these teachers They weer engaged at regular salary and received an additional amount flor doing extra work; now that they are no longer called upon to render extra service, they no longer receive any extra pay The former model teachers seem to think that they are
 entitled to their former rate of pay and have registered strong com tplaints against the smaller salary.
 The school season got under way
 yesterday with meetings in all the schools of teachers and principals for the interchange of ideas and the out
 lining of plans for the coming year
 Superint ntendent Slawson was enthu-
 siastic over the spirit shown at the
 meetings.

Spot Cotton
 T akes Rise

New York, Sept. z. - Spot cotton rose from S6.25 to more than SS a bale on the New York cotton ex- change to-day While there was con siderable unloading by these who wished to take profits upon their speculative holdings, there were oth- CT eager buyers and their orders kept the market buoyant.
 New Orleans, Sept For the first time in the history of the local cot ton market, all months opened S1O a bale above the close of yesterday. This is the limit of a. raise in prices allowed in a day by the New Or leans cotton exchange and brokers and others fought like wild men to buy soon as the market opened.
 Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 7.-Disregarding so far as the market is concerned the fact that spot cotton in every south ern market is now conlrnanding 20 cents a pound or something near it, southern planters are sitting back, smiling and waiting for the price to go higher.
 The fact that the recent sensation al advance in the price of this staple which is the backbone, ribs and all the rest of the south's business anat- omy, has put more than half a billion dollars in the souths pocketbook.
