Crisis in Ireland Graver

London Sunday Illustrated.)
BELFAST. July 9.-There still
appears to be a good deal of mis-
apprehension regarding the North
OF ireland and in the minds of mary
people the idea appears to linger
that the Irish question of today is
much the same as IT has been since
the eighties, and that 1t would be
good thing to have doLe with 1t
once and. for all.
Not only to US in Ulster, but to
the people of Great Britain as well,
this Is dangerous train OF
thought which may engender a
state OF apathy that would lead to
disastrous results.
The issue of home rule. as 1t was
understood in days gone by. has
ceased to exist in its old form. The
act of 1920. providing for one par
lament at Dublin and one at Bel
fast, brought an end to the con-
troversy. which called for the great
efforts of Harrington and Chamber
lain.
Todny's Issue Different.
In those days the issue could be
simply defined as home rule" or
no home rule" Today the issue is
different, and the most impartial OBJ
server of the effects of that act must
come to the conclusion that since
home rule was established eNnts
Fave been marching slowly and
tragically. but all the time surely.
irresistibly to the climax foreseen
by the opponents of home rule, when
the issue to be decided will be
whether Ulster. which is British
to the core and proud of the fact,
is to have her connection with the
mother country severed and her fate

PASTOR IN BRITAIN
DEFENDS RED FLAG

LONDON. July s.-Rev. Conrad
Noel, vicar of Thaxsted Church in
Essex. appeared before the Consis-
tory Church in the diocese Of
Chelmsford yesterday as a result OF
charges by parishoners that he had
hung Sim Fein and Bolshevist hsgs
from his church. The parishioners
charged that the red flag bore the
words: He hath made Of one blood
all nations"
wilfred Lewis, speaking on be-
half of parishioners, said the con-
gregstion had torn the fiags down
on a half dozen occasions last year.
The preacher declared the objec-
tions to the flags were entirely po-
litical and asserted his right to
hang the flags from the church.

1t may be that the climax Is

WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO PUBLISH FACTS

Coalinga, CAL, April Coll Work
er's union No. ? is calling upon other
oil workers locals to- urge Secretary
Of Labor Davies to have kilograms
issued by him in connection, with the
recent oil workers strike printed in
the Monthly Labor Review, issued
by the department of labor.
These kilograms will show that the
secretary of labor expressed displea-
sure at, the way the oil owners were
representing things. The workers
say that if the department of labor
permitted the publication of these
kilograms at that time, it would
nullify the propaganda of the oil
owners. At one time the depart
ment of labor promised that the tele-
grams would be published in the
Monthly Labor Review, but this has
not been done. - a. ss..s
One representative of the depart
ment Of labor stated that because
of economy the Monthly Labor Re-
view had been reduced in size and
matters such as the California oil
controversy have been excluded. The
oil workers do not believe in the
economy that permits oil owners to
escape publicity for precipitating
last summers strike. The workers
insist that it is exceedingly unfair
to organized labor" to withhold this
information

THE .MIDDLEMAN

A fool there was, and he listened
To the story the Big Boss had to tell,
OF how the curse of the present age
Was the working mans exorbitant
wage;
OF how Industry was all upset
On account of high wages the work
ers get.
And. he said, "Mr. Merchant, join
with me,
To bring things back to normalcy."
A fool there was, and he fell for the
plan
To bring down the wage of the work
ing man.
And this fool that was would go out
of his way
TO yelp of the working mans over
pay. =
And this worthy gent would say with
froWn,
The wage of the worker must come
down,
Or soon our country will bankrupt
Unless we get back to normalcy."
A fool there was, and he could not
That the working man in prosperity
Was the one great source that
brought wealth to him :;
But now that the works wage is

The evil effects of his normally.
This fool that was, is a fool indeed,
For he urged. reduction at break

He now sees his folly, at last; too

HE WOULD CONsCRIPT LABOR

Congressman John Philip Hill, of
February q, declared that the draft
the House of Representatives on
February Z, declared 2that the draft
act should have been extended dur
ing the war so as to reach civilians
who were not engaged in military
work.
The issue came up while the
House was discussing the question
of wages paid labor during the war.
Congressman Mann, of Illinois,
addressing Mr.. Hill, asked: "Does
the gentleman from Maryland think
civilians were paid any too much ?"
Mr.. Hill replied: Eyes, I do. My
judgment is that the civilians
should have been drafted and given
less pay
1t is to be hoped that the workers
in Mr.. Hills district will give proper
consideration to their congressman s
views on this important subject.
Those who believe that labor
should be conscripted and compelled
to work for profiteering contractors
should support Mr.. Hill, but those
who believe that workers should be
treated as free men in war and in
peace should see to it that Mr.. Hill
is left at home after the November
election.

ANDERSON'S RAILROAD PROP.
AGANDA

Congressman Sidney Anderson, of
Minnesota, told the members Of the
House Of Representatives recently
that there have been reductions in
freight rates on agricultural pro-
ducts aggregating more than $780,
100000 a year,"
Applause greeted the statement,
and apparently no one in the House
knew that the congressman was in
dulging in homemade" statistics.
The reduction in freight rates on
agricultural products will amount to
not more than $40,0O0,OO0, or
about one-sixth the sum stated by
4 Congressman Anderson. Even this
reduction was made so late last year
that 80 per cent of the crops had
left the farmers hands, and the
spectators benefited to the extent
OF four-fifths of the cut.

BE ON YOUR GUARD

1t is again necessary to warn
trades unionists against the social
ed equal rights" constitutional
amendment which the. National
Woman's Party is pressing before
every legislature in session this
year.
! This amendment is fake and a
fraud. Instead of giving women
rights it strips every woman who
works of the protection of the laws
which have been enacted in her be-
half. That is the judgment of some
of the most distinguished lawyers in
this country, and their opinions
have been accepted by the American
Federation of Labor and every other
labor organization that has given
the matter consideration.
In the face of this fact, the ennis
saries Of the National Woman's
Party have the effrontery to enter
union halls and appeal to members
OF organized labor for support. OF
course, the fact that they are women
is the only thing that enables them
to "get away with it,
We do not know who is financing
the campaign of the National Wom-
ans Party, but if the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers is. not
providing the funds then that malo-
dorous organization is failing to re-
ward faithful service.
1t is almost unbelievable that
women would lend themselves to
such disreputable piece of political
skullduggery, but there is no get
ting away from the facts.

of those in control seemed to be to
convince the farmer that his most
dangerous enemy was the city work
er. They succeeded in putting
through their program, because
Congressman Anderson, as presid-
ing officer, drove the "steam roll
Ter" over the opposition.
Now it is announced that as
chairman Of the joint congressional
committee appointed to Investigate
the agricultural situation he intends
to recommend that the Railroad
Labor Board be abolished and that
the power to fix wages be vested in
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. So far as We know, no one
authorized to speak for the farmers
has asked for this change. The rail-
road executives have been demand
ing it for some time.
All of which recalls the fact that
Congressman Anderson voted for
the Ubiquitous Cummins- Esch bill
and has given no indication of re-
pentance.
The young gentleman from Min
nesota poses as the chief friend of
the farmer in the House, but the
record indicates that his real pur-
pose is to shield the interests that
exploit the farmer.
