LONDON. Oct. 24.-The Irish con-
ference has not broken up, but the
situation is still very delicate and
requires the most careful handling
to prevent a break. The conference
sat nearly three hours this after
noon, meeting at p. m. and not
ending until nearly o'clock, when
it was announced that 1t Would meet

This was the only statement given
out officially, but there is distinct
air of relief in both Downing Street
and the Chelsea Irish headquarters.

The delegates now must md a
way OF accommodating the confer
ence to the new situation without
offending the extremists of either
side, and 1t may be said that the
number Of extremists on both sides
have been increased materially by
De Valera's letter to the Pope.
A leading official explained the
situation tonight as follows:
IF the Irish definitely repudiate
Mr.. De Valera, thus making II ap-
pear that they have backed down
before us. they will lose the pubic
support of Ireland. II we accept
their position without protest, max
ing it appear that we have given up
our position. We lose the public sup
port Of England. The problem,
therefore, il to get back as grace
fully as possible to the old position
that we discuss the future relations
of Ireland and England, leaving the
present relations to the end. II
we can do that, all Is we'll, and I
hope that today's meeting has put
us on our way. but the situation is
still critical"

said:

PERSHING, GOMPERS
CLASH IN SPEECHES

WASHINGTON, Sept. General
John j. Psrshing and Samuel Gompers
had tilt last night over the cues ton
whether labor won the world war.
The difference in discussion came
after the dinner and Joint celebration
of Lafayette Marine day.
While Gompers did not claim that
labor had won the war, he told of the
record of the American Federation of
Labor during the war, and declared
that previous to the entry of the Unit
ed States into the war the sympathy
of labor organizations was with the
Allies.
General Pershing in answer spoke
substantially as follows: "rhe policies
of this country are not determined by
labor unions, but by the consensus Of
opinion of its patriotic citizens. Every
American is a patrot whether he be-
longs to labor organization or is just
an ordinary citizens. Members of
labor unions We're not the only ones
who won the war and it seems the time
to say That America shall be governed
by American citizens and not by or
ganizations which havn 'Felfish pur-
noses to serve"

S|.lO
Cronh0lm Budget Providing
for Pescadero Cut and
Other improvements Also
Adopted. Water Rate Is
Unchanged.

Yesterday afternoon after an all
day discussion with the officers of the
mutual water companies and water
users throughout the valley, the board
of directors of the Imperial Irrigation
district fixed the tax rate for the COM
ing year at $l.l0 per $780, This is d
Fcut of Sl.3O from the rate of last year
which was $3.50 on valuation Of 3d.
100000 more than this year.
The board also approved the budget
of General Manager F. n. Cronholm,
which provides for an expenditura Of
$1,l80,O00, and appropriated money
for the Pescadero cut and the purchase
of three. dragline dredges. The board
also refused to change the manner OF
water measurements as demanded by
the mutual companies. When adjourn
ment was taken it was to next Tues
day, when all unfinished business be-
fore the boar dis expected to be taken
up and disposed Of
The meeting was the most harmon
ous in many months, so far as ;hc
opinions and acts of the board mem
bers We're concerned, although much
of the day was spent in listening -
arguments by mutual water company
officials that water should be served
free, that measurements by mutual
zanjeros should be accepted as bases
for settlement, etc. The directors
stood squarely Oh the decision of last
week and notified the visitors that dis
trict measurements would be enforced.
The budget was then considered ind
on motion was adopted without change.
1t provides $250,000 for drainage and
fo rthe building of the Pescadero cut.
General Manager Cronholm then
told of his plans to purchase three drag
line Bucyrus dredges of l 1-2 cubic
yard capacity at a cost of about 3l29,-
coo, including delivery, to be used for
four months in building the Pescadero
cut and later for eight months in dig
ging drainage canals. He said that
by charging all the cost of The dredges
to the cut, the earth could be moved
at 26 cents per yard, or 14.4 cents II
the original purchase price be charged
to drainage. The cut, he said, under
this plan would cost less than $4,000
and the machines could be kept at
work eight months on drainage with
out exceeding the appropriation.
After some discussion, the board
approved the plan and instructed the
general manager to purchase three
dredges for immediate delivery. Mr..
Cronholm announced that a smaller
machine now owned by the district will
be started at once to construct roads
and make ready for the new machines
the first of which is expected within
four weeks.
Two G. M. O.s were then approved
