ORGANIZED LABOR OF GERMANY

Continued from pax. Ono,

dent Gompers remarks came at the
end of the most important convention
sessions in history-marked by ora
tory of international character de-
livered by fraternal delegates from
Great Britain, and Canada trades
union movements.
After reviewing the international
problems confronting organized labor
of the world and the British coal
miners strike, j. II. Thomas, British
labor leader. discussed the Irish ques-
ton. when questioned as to what the
British labor movement is doing for
Irish freedom. He declared that the
British labor movement stands for
freedom for dominion home rule in
Ireland n it needs be, adding the
only limitation we put is that we are
not going to have Ireland made
menace for submarine warfare.
Don't assume however that the
British labo' movement stands for an
independent republic.
Now. that is exactly the position
and we have fought and fought, but
We don't want that, we want
We don't want your movement dis
rupted. because of differences in it,

that they cannot solve the Irish ques-
ton. Mr.. Thomas said:

Because they love you. The Irish
people love you. The Irish people know
their friends they know you are their
friends. know their relatives arc
yours. They don't understand at all
and isn't it cruel thing for people
to merely assume that by the passing
of a resolution you car solve this prob
lem of hundreds OF years.
I'VE will continue to do our best
added the speaker
We will continue to night but we
will not allow our movement to be
disrupted on any question no matter
what it is and would ask our Irish
friends in America, who feel. God
knows keener than I can say, I ask
them to believe me when / say that
1t is not quite so easy to Judge this
question from 5000 miles away as we
find It at home and u we have been
unable to solve the problem as a labor
party, now all | can say is that I
wish You luck In solving it 5000 miles
away"
The British labor leader wa. given
an ovation by the delegates at the
conclusion of his address and at many

applauded-

Old Estates in America.

The commonest real estate phe-
nomcnon in England is the rarest one
in America; namely, long-handed-
down holdings still belonging to de-
scendants of the ancient owners.
A certain William Douglas, born
: (where else than) in Scotland, came
10 this country in 1925 and settled
near New London. Connecticut. where
he built a house. The homestead has
been in the hands of his offspring
ever since. What is believed to be
the first English settlement within the
present boundaries of New York
state. Gardeners Island. at the east
ern end of Long Island sound, is still
owned by descendants of the original
owner of the island. Lion Gardiner.
who purchased it in 1899 from the
Indians The present home of the
GARDENERS was built in 1T74 and has
been exteriorly little altered since.

invention of the Telephone Evidently
Was Not by Any Means a
Quiet Affair.

The landlady couldn't stand it any
longer, and the dodgers threatened to
leave unless the racket stopped.
Alexander Graham Bell was the
cause of the trouble. He had rugged
up contrapticn in his bedroom and
n duplicate in the room of his accom-
plice, Thomas A. Watson. A wire went
out of the window and connected the
two machines.
These two machines, according to
young Bell, were first models Of a
revolutionary invention. the telephone.
II don't care what it is" said the
landlady. shut If you two boys don't
stop yelling your heads off, into those
boxes. you'll have to pack your trunks
and get out"
This episode of the angry landlady
happened years ago in cheap lodging
house In Boston.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany offered Bell 100000 for all his
patents. Eel, with vision, realized
that he, had a fortune within grasp
and rejected the offer. He and Wat
son went around the country, deliver
ing lectures. and with the proceeds
financed themselves.
Today there is q telephone to every
