 IS WTALLY NEEDED
By Associated Press

New York, September 4.--Employ- ment of 1.0OO,O0O men by the rail- roads of the United States would foi- low the passage by Congress of the Townsend Winslow railroad funding bill. Eugene Meyer, Jr. managing di- rector of the War Finance corpora tion. asserted today in a statement in which he considered means to rem edy the present unemployment prob lem. He said he believed his esti- mate of 1,000,00O men was conserva- tive.
 "A considerable part of the exist ing unemployment" he said, lis due to the position in which the railroads find themselves short of funds and unable to make their normal pur- chases and do their normal repair and equipment work.
 Not only would the railroads, by the position of meeting their un- paid accounts already past due, but they would be able to go ahead with their maintenance of way and repair of equipment work. This would di- rectly employ a large number of men,
 Mir. Meyer also pointed to the in- direct labor involved in producing and transporting lumber for ties and iron and steel used for maintenance and repairs.

IRISH COMMANDER THANKS FRIENDS
 FOR HIS ELECTION
Collins, in Speech at Armagh, Keeps Audience Entranced
 as He DenounceS Parti- ton of Ireland
By Associated press

Armagh, Ireland, September A. Michael Collins, commander in -cnief of the Irish republican army and sim Fein minister of finance, came to his constituency today. the first time he has been able to make a public appearance here since 1918, to thank his supporters for electing hiir to the Dal Eireann, and, as he es- plained, for giving him mandate not to sit in the North Parliament.
 He proved most emphatic speak CT, both in Irish and English, and was somewhat reminiscent of The,- dore Roosevelt when he brought jaws together but spoke without single gesture. He kept his audience en- tranced for nearly an hour as he de- nounced the partition of Ireland nd appealed to Armaugh to follow Ty- rome and Germanagh in denouncihs allegiance to the northern Parlia- ment thus Striking the last blow against English control of IreIan 1. Collins touched very gingerly upon peace negotiations, explaining that at present he must choose his words.
 "England, he said, "is handing out I'arliaments like Carnegie ga e away IpFhfitS. tntyi dFH tHt SOFl pr medicine which cures neither th1 north nor the south"
 It was obvious from Mir. Lloy,h Georges letters, he declared that the northern Parliament was being used as an excuse to keep the north and the south asunder. but 'hc Orangemen. who had been used ass tools, might find that they stood in the way of an agreement which was in England's interest and then they would be thrown aside.
 Freedom Is Certain
 Freedom for Ireland Is coming nobody can stop it." he exclaimed "Is Ulster, with her tottering Parl@- ment, going to stay out? We say to our people there: We won't de- sert you"
 The commander of the Irish repul,- lican army had great reception and when he appeared, the audience o' 5000 rose and sang the Soldiers Song" Referring to MT. Lloyt Georges "sneer' that more We'sh was spoken in Wales than Irish in Ireland, he pointed out that Ireland had been speaking under ban fot centuries but now in Armagh alone

 of these conferences have been satis- factory without damaging the inter osts of the Mexican nation or the in- ternational policy.
 Tt has been agreed that in new regulations on charges for exports taxation of oil it will be arranged that payments may be made up to December 21, next. Payment of these | taxes will be made every three 1 months and not monthly as estsb- | lished by the decree. There still remains few points in detail to be
 discussed, but which the oil conn panies have agreed to accept after ] studying certain information and
 data after their representatives have arrived in New York. When they have done this the full details agreed upon will be definitely arranged
 The decree of May 24 of last year did not suffer any modification, and the payment of taxes due in accord ance with that decree will be made 1 by the companies represented in the conference of Monday of next week, when they will renew operations" Many Hurried Conferences There were many indications al noon Saturday that things were not
