IRISH QUESTION
AGAIN DISCUSSED
MEETING DISCUSSES REaoLU.
TON CONCERNING STRIFE
AND CRIME IN IRELAND
onlonlst Party in Session at Liverpool
lndorses With Reservations the
Negotiations Now On Between
British and Irish

LtverpooE-The Unionist party's at
tltude toward the Irish settlement neg
citations with the question of Ulster
foremost, was under debate Thursday
at gathering of Unionists here-the
National Conference of Unionist pap
ty, attended by 1000 delegates.
Lord Derby, who was elected presi-
dent, said that he did not disguise
from himself that fact that 1t would
require any act, any intelligence that
ne possessed to keep the conservative
party together.
The main business before the confer
ence was resolution moved by Colon
ell John Gretton, member of parliament
Tor Rutlandshire, calling upon the con-
ference ''to record It's condemnation of
the long continued ascendancy of crime
and rebellion in Ireland and resolve
Tthat no settlement of the Irish question
is acceptable which does not respect
absolutely the position acquired by u
ster and provide every safeguard es-
sential for imperial security and the
protection Of the loyalists in the west
and south of Ireland"
Lord Farnham and General Prescott
Decte presented the case against ne
gotfons with the Sim Fein on behalf
OF that section of the southern Irish
unionists opposed to the policy of Lord
Middleton and his party, who are in
disagreement with the Ulster demand
for separate dominions for north and
South Ireland. The speakers contend
ed that peace purchased from the Sim
Fem by the weakness of the govern
ment" would contain no element of per
manenee.
Colonel Gretton, in moving his reso-
luton, referring to q proposed amend
ment by Sir Laming Worthington-
Evans, secretary for war, wishing sue.
cess to the Irish peace negotiations,
said that the watering down" of the
motion would ultimately lead to the
disintegration and destruction of the
observation-disclosures party.
Colonel Martin Archer-Shee, Union
list member of parliament for Finsbury,
In seconding the Gretton motion, said
that as soon as the negotiations broke
down, as they surely would, the Con-
servatives should leave the c6afrsion
and set up government which would
really govern the country.
II am sick and tirel of a government
that is carrying out a radical policy
and which is led by a radical leader"
he explained.

S#action In Market Line to Bring Woo
Business Back to Former Days;
No More Free Wool to
zs Be Admitted to Country

Salt Lake-W throughout the
lated States have every reason to re-
543ee, according to Frank r. Marshall,
aeeretary of the National Woolgrowers'
NNs0ciation, who has returned to Salt
Lake from Washington, ID. G. The mar
I'M has reacted strongly to the assur-
aa1ee that no more free wool now can
be admitted to the country under the
Drpsent administration through the I'M
precedented action of both houses in
oxfending the emergency tariff law I'M
~ the regular tariff bill can be passed.
This puts the market in a position
of stability" said Mr. Marshall Thurs
Inv. Until this action was taken there
WINS always the possibility of a period
ef free wool. There is huge quantity
1f foreign wool in bonded warehouses
" ports of entry. If one hour elapsed
admitting free wool there would have
BEEN great flood.
One small importer said that one
haur of free wool would have netted
htm $4,000. The action of congress
Vows the governments interest in the
aEriculture of the country. 1t shows
M appreciation of keeping our farms,
hards and fIocks In condition to SUD-
Ply our requirements.
Prices have been improving grad
ually for several weeks. Now the I'M
ceftainty Is removed, things are back
W the basis of demand in relation to
kupply and possible imports. While
the emergency tariff remains, grease
wools must pay Is cents per pound
RtElrted woods 30 cents, and secured
w00ls, 40 cents.
according to the department of ag-
neuiture's report issued on September
50 the amount of wool on hand in the
n0untry is four hundred million pounds,
which is much less than many believ-
ed
This is very little more than the
nprmal stock for this time of the year.
Wool is being consumed in this coun-
try at rapid rate Most of the larg-
T mills have orders that will last only
until February. 1t seems certain that
Ene wool market must take a pro-
aeanced upward tendency.
The woolgrowers were the first
ores to feel the deflation of May, 1920,
and it seems now as if they would be
fHe first to recover. The regular tar
tn bill will be passed to the satfsfac-
moR of the woolgrowers."

mlttee of leading woolmen and agri-
eulturists of the United States who ap-
peared before the senate finance COM

non of the emergency tariff bin until
