LONDON. Sept. 1S.-The Birming-
ham Post publishes Monday the fol-
lowing opinion by Bernard Shaw on
an Irish conference without condi-
tions:
II you had a conference between
the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Roman Catholic Church and the
Church Of England it would obviously
be ridiculous for the archbishop to
begin by insisting that the Pope
should recognize the validity of orders
OF the Church of England and that
the Pope in turn should insist on the
archbishop repudiating the Reforna-
ton and returning to the Roman
fold.
Everybody would know what the
archbishop's and Pope's opinions
were, but 1t would not ne necessary,
If the conference was to come off.
that they should certainly refrain
from speaking them. The situation
between Mr. De Valera and Mr.. Lloyd
george seems to me to be the same.
You can take your choice as to
which is the Pope and which the
archbishop. But whichever it is,
there clearly can be no conference
unless they waive the question Of
their opinion to start with, and get
to business"

Votes ON Substitute Rules.
Our committee will take a bal
lot when the board announces the
substitute rules" Jewell declared
II the rules are not satisfactory
and the ballot says so we will take
the result to the railroads. If they
refuse to grant our reasonable de-
mands they will have to stand re-
sponsible and answer to the Ameri-
can people"
Jewell charged that the railroads
were opposing demands of the
unions as part of a movment which
was backeI by nine billion dollars
or more" with the object, ''of
crushing organized labor"
"Roads Using Board
He declared that the railways
were attempting to use the board
to take unfair advantage of the in
dustrial situation.
Jewell said the boards method of
drafting rules to supplant the ma
tional agreements, wartime meas
ures under the employees work at
present. was Impractical" He
said he would demand of the board
that for once 1t meet a situation
in a practical way"
We only ask justice" he de-
clared. We will accept nothing
else"
Crisis Confronts Labor.
other speakers pointed out that
!s bor was facing a crisis.

ward J. Evans, representative Of
the electrical workers. lis the most
critical and most important that
has ever confronted us"
The unions are unalterably op-
POSED to many of the boards deci-
sions. he asserted. They'll have
to lick US before they can make
US accept some of the decisions" he
said.
Test on the Penn.
P. Good. chairman of the Penn
Sylvania System Federation OF Shop
crafts, said he believed the Penn
sylvanIa had beenIselected to make

declared Edward Tegtmeyer, svice
president of the blacksmith's union.
After the meeting officials said
the unions seek to retain the pres
ent national agreements intact.
They intimated, however, they will
put up a ahrder fight for the re-
tention of working rules than in
opposing the wage reduction.

The men appeared to be barelv

effective July 1. A ballot form had
been distributed among the men and
the answers were recorded today.

Legion Asks Employers
To Provide Jobs for Idle

Claiming that there are from
600, 200 to 100000 veterans of the
world war out of work, the Amer
lean Legion through its national
committee has issued an
appeal to employers throughout
the country "to loosen their purse
strings. lengthen their vision and
make jobs for the men VINO kept
American business safe from a Ger
man indemnity"
: The legion's appeal says that a
careful study made by the legion In
sixteen States indicates that there
are 10000 veterans out of employ
ment in Pennsylvania, 100000 in
New York. $4,000 in Illinois. 10000
in Massachusetts,. 10000 in Minneso-
ia, $500 in Washington, 1000 in
Arizona and from 5000 to 10000 in
all of the remaining sixteen States
under survey.
Relief in Some States.
The appeal further says that in
a number of States veteran-relief
laws, originally enacted to help
needy civil war veterans and
amended to apply to world war vet
Grams. are enabling unemployed for
mer service men to obtain the bare
of life; that in other
States where no such legislation has
been passed American Legion posts
are stripping their treasures Of
their last dollars to keep bread in
the mouths and clothes on the backs
of needy comrades"
Continuing, the statement says:
To-day more American veterans
than fought at St Mihiel. more
veterans than composed
the first American army, composed
