Ing to English propaganda, is do- mestic question, as was the case of southern secession In the last cen tury. But public men in this country and in England, and influential or gans Of public opinion, such as the Manchester Guardian, assert that the question of Ireland today is an. inter- national question. That there is no parity with the war between the north and the south is shown by this, that the south became by volun -dry act part of the union, whereas Ire land was made part of the British empire by conquest and held by force against which conquest Irish patriots in every generation have risen in armed revolt.
 Another objection frequently brought forward is that the Irish question is religious question. The all-sufficient answer to that dles- ton is that the Irish question is some 400 years older than Protes- tantism. Protestantism originated in Germany in 1517 The English in- vaded Ireland in 1172. Almost every outstanding leader of note Tn Ire land in the nineteenth century has been Protestant Wolfe.

In IRELAND, IT is CONCEDED
Conference Will Resume Its Sessions in Lon
don Today; Breaches Have Arisen on Both
Sides, Delegates Admit; Approach Toward a
Settlement May Follow Plan of Smuts.
Try THE ASSOCIATED PRESsA

London, Oct. II (by the Asso-
eiated Press) When the Irish
conference resumes it's sessions to-
morrow morning it probably will
first deal with the question of al
legged breaches of the truce, which
have been the subject of conversa-
tions today between members OF
the British and Irish delegations.
1t Is agreed among the delegates,
it was understood tonight. that
breaches have arisen on both sides,
Dublin castle having produced q
list of such comparisons, which
was compared with list publish
ed by the Irish Bulletin Of breaches
by auxiliaries. the police and the
military.
In the recent killings at Galway
and the shootings resultant from
an Irish republican dance, it was
conceded that both Sim Feiners
and crown officers violated the
truce by carrying arms.
The Irish representatives eX-
pressed disfavor Of any extension
of the original terms of the truce
signed at general headquarters in
Dublin. 1t Is understood they are
unwilling to bind themselves to dis
continue any activities not covered
at that time, Since. however, many
OF these activities were possible
only through the possession of
arms. stricter regard for prohibit
ton against carrying arms by
either side would meet all govern
mont requirements.

RESPONSE TO THE APPEALS FOR
RELIEF OF UNEMPL L0YMENT HAVE
been GRATIFYING, SAYS HOOVER
Railroads Have Added About $4,000 Men to
Their Rolls and Public Utilities In Many Sec
tions of the Country Are Preparing to In
crease Employment; Conference Ends Today
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

A paragraph of the construction
committees report, which asserted
| that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission took away from the con-
struction industry the use of open
top cars without full hearing, was
stricken from the text at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Hoover after objec-
| ton had been made by Edgar e.
Clark, former chairman of the
commission.
| Mr.. Clark declared the commits
sion had no idea of preferring one
industry over another. but had act

winter in order to give priority 10
coal shipments in response to pub
lie appeal c. p. Neal, former
commissioner Of labor statistics,
declared the conference should not
give its approval to criticism of a
government agency.
A suggestion in the report
that "jurisdictional controversies"
should be abandoned. was describ-
ed by Samuel Gompers as one
"pious wish but impractical. He
declared jurisdictional claims arose
from the changing use of materials
in industry.
John Donlin. president of the
building trade department of the
American Federation of Labor, dis
agreed with Mr.. Gompers, declar-
ing jurisdictional claims to be one
OF the greatest injuries to labor
and the public welfare. At the
suggestion of Mr.. Hoover the rec
ommendation was retained with the
addition of the phrase IF construc-
tion is stopped"
Mr.. Gompers declared he wished
to dissent from any expression in
the report which coupled the hui
man element. of labor with mani
mate things such as articles of
commerce and commodities where
construction factors were listed.
MIR. Hoover asserted the report had
in mind the costs of labor rather
than labor itself.
Readjustment of financing
methods. material costs and labor
costs in the construction and build

gested the appointment of rep

PASSAGE Of THE
TARIFF BILL BY
FEB'Y. FORECAST
Emergency Law Will Be Ex-
tended Until That Date,
PenroSe Says After Con-
ferring With Fordney.
lBy The Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct, 12.-PaSSage
of the permanent tariff bill by next
February first, is the hope of
Chairman Penrose of the senate
finance committee and Fordney,
of the house ways and means
committee. Senator Penrose said
today he had conferred with Mr..
Fordney ana they had agreed to
extension OF the emergency tariff
law until that date.
Notices that hearings on the
tariff bill will be resumed Novem-
Der first, were sent out today to
agricultural interests. The live
stock schedule will be taken up
first. Mr.. Penrose said.
The tariff also got into senate
discussions, Senator Ashurst,
democrat, Arizona, warning that
ten bold democratic and ten
bold republicans" were determined
that 1.-THE minions of Wall Street
should no longer dominate In the
framing of tariff legislation; that
protection would be given the
farmers.
"If it is not" he said, there
will be no tariff bill"
Referring to unemployment. Mr..
Ashurst said the nation was ION
a volcano that may erupt at an
time" and he pleaded that the
two political parties lay aside
partisanship and get to work.
II appeal to my republican
colleagues" he said, ito stay in
session, hold night sessions, pass
the tax bill and also the tariff
bill if it is going to aid the
farmers"
Declaring cheap labor in Africa
and the Far East was being en-
ploycd in large numbers to pro-
duce cotton, he said the time
would come when the south would
take the lead in demanding q pro-
tective TARIFF on cotton.
Senator Hitchcock, democrat.
Nebraska, said he regretted an
appeal for the protective tariff had
come from senator Ashurst and
declared the farmers had had
enough experience with the em-
ergency tariff law to know that
protection would aid them very
little. The prices of practically
all commodities named in the bill.
he added, had gone down steadily
since the emergency law went
into effect.

and summoned aid but it was
futile.

KLAN IS NOT A
'[AWLESS' BAND
FOUNDER CLAIMS
At HOUSE QUIZ
Imperial Wizar d Denies.
Charges That 0rganiza-
ton Contains Within Its
Ranks Hooded HoodIumS'
VIOLATION OF LAW
FORBIDDEN, HE SAYS
Growth of the Order Has
Been Greater in the North
and East Than in the
South, Witness Asserts,

Washington, Oct. 12.-Sweeping
denial of charges that the Ku KluX
klan contained within it's ranks a
'lawless band of hooded hoodlums
was made before the house COM
mittee today by William J. Sim
mons of Atlanta, its founder and
imperial wizard.
Turning squarely upon members
who had listened lntently for near
ly two hours to a dramatic defense
of the organization, Mr.. Simmons
declared that Standing here in the
presence of Cod he wanted the
world to know that if one-thou-
sandth part of the charges were
true he would forthwith call to-
gether the grand concilium of the
Klan for the purpose of forever
disbanding 1t in every section of
the United States.
Negroes Urged Probe.
Called after negro witnesses from
Boston and Chicago had urged a
congressional inquiry of the Klan,
the imperial wizard first asking to
be sworn. told the committee that
the Klan welcomed investigation
but protested against attacks in
some of the pending house reso-
lutions.
He was permitted to read his
statement without interruption, al
though at the session tomorrow he
will be questioned by committee
men, especially with reference to
published reports of various acts Of
vandalism charged TO the Klan.
There Is no room in our organ
ization for thost who take the law
into their own hands," he declared.
1--WE have been charged with every
thing from the wave of high prices
to the sweeping march of the boil
Weevil. 1t has been charged that
our primary aim was intimidation
Of the negro in the south. But 1t
might surprise this committee to
know that the growth of the Ku
KluX Klan has been greater in the
north and east than in the south. ;
Asserting the Klan could not do
anything outside of its lodge
room" except by specific orders
of its imperial wizard, so as to hold
its membership in line. Mr.. Sim
mons added:
Lawlessness Forbidden.
Before God, / have never sign
ed any Instructions that could be
construed as violation of law.
The Klan does not tolerate or teach
lawlessness; instead we preach re-
spect for the law"
At times there was intense quiet
in the room, and at one of these
moments the witness, rapping the
table. declared no man could
charge disorder in any city where
the Klan was well organized.
The Klan, the witness testified,
is conducting an investigation of
it's own into charges against Ed
ward Young Clarke, imperial
kleagle, and head of the propa-
eating bureau, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Tyler, his assistant, and will issue
an official statement when it comes
into possession of all the facts.
Mr.. Simmons also stated that

years previous to the Lemberger
case, Johnson had been convicted
Of attempting to wreck train.
one year ago a woman at Lodi
wrote letter to Governor Philip
in which she detailed some of the
evidence she had heard in the case
and brought before the governor
a story like tho revelation made by
May Sorenson on Wednesday. The
Lodi woman knew nohing OF the
crime, except what she had heard
from friends of the Lembergers.
This started the Investigation which
has been going on for nearly a
year, and ended in Go ,rnor
Blaine ordering a full investigation
of the matter before passing on
