Regarding the general theory OF the
tariff TO which Western members are
vigorously obJccting. Mr.. Young says:
81 am protectionist, which should
mean the same now as before our party
was swept into office by the tremendous
majority OF 100000. Those Of us who
think that tariff laws should be written
along cautious lines believe that all in
dustries suffering from foreign competi-
tion should be protected. but tho claims
for protection OF those which have done
"a tremendous business during recent
years. such as tho lumber industry which
Is quiet now. chiefly on account of tho
general slump IN domestic business and
not on account OF foreign competition,
may we'll be scrutlnized. We ought 10
be making a protective law for ton
year period rather than 20 meet the ex-
pectntions OF those suffering temporarily

"At tho, present time rents of heated

The oil operators argued that Presi-

when he recently issued the decree in
creasing the oil tax. since there is no
provision in Mexican laws for the issu-
ance Of such a decree except IN cases
where special powers have been con-
ferred upon the President as result OF

analogous to martial law in the United
States The guarantees have not been
suspended and no extraordinary powers
have been conferred upon the President.

that the action was tantsmNnt to con-
fiscation was supported by ciNng a note

the United States would not presume TO

trymeh in Ireland, by John l.. Jones. a
representative of the British Labor
party, at the headquarters Of the Irish
American Labor League, 262 West
lwenty-third Street, yesterday after
noon.
1T is unfair for Irish workers here
to criticize British workers when they
do nothing themselves to aid Ireland"
Mr.. Jones said. "All the efforts Of
Irish American labor to aid Ireland are
expressed in pulling down flag some
where or starting a row in 8 meeting
they are resdy to do anything for Ire
land but work for it. If were the
head Of the Irish Republic | would

~ meeting tonight, which will be
held at the Bohemian National Hall
S2l-325 East Seventy third Street. Mr..
Jones Will outline a plan by which,
through the cooperation Of the Irish
workers, the British workers and the
IRISH American workers, the hands of
Lloyd George can be tied and he can
be compelled to give complete independ-
ence to ireland. The circular an
the meeting, which will be
held under the auspices of the Irish
American Labor League, bears the le-
gends Remember Easter Week!' and

"The British workers have done
much to aid Irelsnd," Mr.. Jones said.
In 1913, during the Dublin strike, the
British workers chartered four vessels
to carry food to the Dublin strikers.
intend to prove this at the meeting to-
morrow night. Also. when James Lar
kin was sentenced to seven months i'm
prisonment> for conspiracy in 1918, the
British and Irish workers were solid
enough to get Larkin free in seventeen
days.
When the British government told
the Irish workers that they would shut
down the railways unless they would
carry British troops and munitions,
the British workers approached Lloyd
George and told him that if he shut
down the Irish railways. he would by
the same action shut down the British
railroads They prevailed. British
labor has given all kinds of assistance
to Ireland, while the vast majority of
Irish in America have done absolutely
nothing but pass resolutions and let
off steam"

men and women whose offenses during
the war were such that they would not
be charged with crime or oifense in
time of peace. 1t was pointed out to
.he President that the country Is now
safe. that the release of such offenders
will no longer constitute menace
The case Of Eugene Y. Debs was not
