Heckled by De
Valera and Others

Cork, March 12-(By A. P.)-Mi-
chael Collins, head of the provisional
government. addressed huge meet
ing here today in defcrse of the
Anglo-Irish treaty. He was subject
cd to considerable interference from
De Valera adhercnts who in large
groups took up positions near the
platforms from which Mr.. Collins
and others spoke and interrupted the
speeches by firing shots. seemingly
in an endeavor to create excitement.
A number of free fights occurred.
J. J. Walsh and John j. MckeoWn
were among the speakers, all of
whom refused to be frightened by
what was termed "black and tan"
arguments. Mr.. Collins charged Mr..
De Valera with a campaign of incite
ment and declared the tactics being
pursued were those of defeated and
discredited faction.
Anti-treaty adherents made a dem
onstration last night against the re-
ception to Mr.. Collins. Thousands of
persons consregated in the streets
and dismantled the platforms that
had been erected and threw them
into the river Anti-treaty literature
was literally distributed throughout
the city today.

Workers in Present Struggle---
Raps Mill Owners in Sunday
Addresses at Providence and
PaWtucket

this practice OF reducing stop?
ask ed Mr.. Gompers. III / am 10
judge from whit | know Of man and
women, the boys and girls, engaged
il tho textile ihGustry would rather
resist and lose then not resist at all.
There are organizations aloo: from
the United -eXtile Workers o.
America. However small they may
be they are hurtful to the commoa
cause. The textile workers should
wot.l together &c remedy condi-
lions"
Replying to the published state
ment that. in accepting 20 per cent.
wage reduction the textile workers
would be getting more than in 1914.
Mr.. Gompers advised. the gentleman
making that statement to go back
to the time of Adam and Eve and
compare the earning powers of their
time with those of the present day"
THAT man forsets we are living
in the year of grace 1922." he de-
clared. The great world conflict was
not merely war against the Kaiser.
1t was war against a system. and
we did not make all the sacrifices
We then made to exchange political
autocracy for industrial autocracy.
Should Meet in Conference
1T Is the plain duty OF the mill
owners to call upon representative
OF the textile workers to meet in
conference and try around the table
to find what is best to be done in the
present situation and present the re-
suit to the whole industry. They
should not act like autocrats. They
should not, without consultation, is
sue their proclamation that wages
are to be reduced and hours Of labor
heightened. That might have gone
in the good old times but it don't
go now. l would like to impress
upon the minds of the mill owners
that they are not monarchs OF all
they survey"
Mr.. Gompers closed with an APP
uaI assistance to the textile workers
in their justifiable contest.
"This America OF ours is too big
and too good to permit the overlords
OF industry to break the hearts and
crush the spirits Of the people," he
said.
Thomas +. Mcmahon. president OF
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea and other labor leaders spoke at
both meetings. Mayor Gamer OF
Providence extended a welcome to
Mr.. Gompcrs at the evening meeting.

Week of
Scrappin@


Washington, Mar. Eff admins
tration leaders succeed with the plan
on which they have agreed. Senate
consideration of the four-power Pa
cific treaty will reach the stage of ac-
ton during the coming week.
Believing that virtually every
senator has made up his mind how
he will vote. those in charge Of the
treaty will begin tomorrow an ag-
gressive effort to bring the debate to
an end. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the Republican leader,
hopes to secure a unanimous agree
ment setting a time to begin roll
calls on the proposed reservations
and if he fails he is prepared to hold
the Senate IN session until late hours
so that the storm Of oratory over the
treaty may spend itself as soon as
possible.
The opponents of ratification are
not expected to assent readily to such
unanimous consent agreement as
Mr.. Lodge suggests, though they de-
clare they have no intention of un-
duly prolonging the debate. They
| have given notice that any attempt
to force" results will be followed by
the adoption of vigorous measures
by the "irreconcilable bloc" which
for the past week has kept at least
one of it's members on the Senate
floor constantly to observe develop
ments and shut off any move for pre-
amture action.
In spite of this situation the ad-
| miniStratiOn senators are hopeful
| that voting on reservations will begin
within few days and some Of the
more optimistic even believe that a
final roll call on ratification NAV he
possible by the end of the week. They
assert that pledges given them make
it certain that more than the neces-
sary two-thirds have decided to vote
for ratification with the mo alliance
committee and they declare that a
ma jorlty would like to clear the way
for the other arms conference treat
les and general legislation.
The treaty opponents again will
take the offensive at tomorrows SEES

pared address against ratification.

the general situation.
