BELFAST, Sept. belfast was quiet
to-day, with the exception of a slight
outbreak of firing during the morning,
which was quickly quelled. Strong de-
tachments of police and military with
armored cars patrolled the affected
areas To date the death toll totals six
teen.
The sensational statement that Sim
Fen official had authorized the Irish
Republican army to intervene in the
rioting here yesterday was made this
afternoon by Col Duffy. Sim Fein
liaison officer for Ulster Col. Duffy
declared that after the refusal Of the
military and police to act" during the
sanguinary rioting OF yesterday he "or-
dered the Irish Republican army to take
action for the protection Of Catholics.
His statement indicates that Sim Fem
sentries participated In the firing, as he
said that to-day, as result of repre-
sensations made to me. l ordered my
troops to cease fire."
1T was quite patent TO every one that
the police and the authorities We're con-
niving with the Orange mob" Col
Duffy declared. Irish Republican army
sentries were placed at vantage points
in the city and in few hours made
their presence felt"

HERRICk GETS MANSION
OF PRINCE DE BROGLIE
Long Search by Homeless
Ambassador Regarded.

PARIS, Sept 1.-The American AM
bassador. Myron It. Herrick, has finally
found a Paris residence. after search
Of a month and half, during which
the Ambassador and the members of his
staff. who assisted him, despaired of OBJ
tanning suitable quarters for an Ambas-
sadorial home.
Mr.. Herrick to-day signed a lease for
the mansion Of Prince and Princess
Jacques de Broglie. 16 Avenue de Mes
sine. Although the Ambassador would
not reveal the amount paid, II is learned
that the sum represents a substantial
fortune in France.
The mansion. which is one of the most
beautiful in the exclusive Monceau Park
quarter, is in sharp contrast with the
simple country villa which Mr.. Herrick
has been occupying at Garches, near st.
Cloud. Since his arrival. July IA, the
Ambassador has been forced to live out
side Paris In a house which was o-igi-
nally taken by his son, Parmely Her
rick.
The Ambassadors difficulty In finding
a home has been sympathetically fol-
lowed by Parisians and the press, the
latter referring to him as the home

assisted in the search for home.

THE present strike is a direct protest
| against the action of the mine owners
OF West Virginia in refusing to abide
by the award of the United States Coal
Commission. If the United States Gov
eminent at this time defends the mine
owners and does not destroy the private
armies OF the mine owners the Govern
ment is in the position of sustaining a
defiance of an order issued by its own
authority.
THE State Government OF West Vir-
ginia was broken down. not because
the miners have protested against law
lessnoss. but because it has failed to
stop the mine owners from enforcing the
law as a private business at the hands
OF privately paid and privately directed

Mr.. Gompers reviewed the incidents
leading up to the present situation. Be-
ginning with the wage award OF the
Federal Bitumnous Commission in
March. 1920. and describing the refusal
of the coal operators of Mingo county
to apply the award" which eventually
he related, ended in the miners flock
ing into the union and being discharged
and served with eviction notices"
The United States Government" he
said. can do great service by destroy
ing government by gunner. by restoring
civil government uncoIrupted by coal
mine autocracy and by giving to the
miners an opportunity to secure justice
and to be free from persecution and en-
JOY their constitutional rights"
