MARTYR SAYS DOCTOR

DUBLIN. Aug 12 ASSOCIATED Press).
Griffith, President of the Dali Eireann
shocked all Dublin, and everywhere It
was commented on as one of the most
tragic and wholly unexpected events in
troubled Ireland.
Death came at a nursing home. ap-
parently from a heart attack follow
ing an operation a few days ago for
tonsilitis. Few people in Dublin even
knew that the ardent worker for the
Free State cause had been i'll. I'm
mediately signs of mourning were dis
played: flags were set at half staff on
buildings and ships in the harbor.
The first question on all sides was
what effect the death of the leader
would have on the solution of the
problems before the Provisional Gov
ernment. His colleague. Michael Col
Inns, recently has devoted his attention
almost entirely to the military opera
tions against the irregulars. while the

lion was suppressed.
Though President of thc Dali Eircann.
Mr.. Griffith held no Ministerial portfolio.

Mr.. Griffith appeared quite well this
morning. as prior 70 isaying for his
office. just before 10 o'clock. he cheer
fully bade good morning to the nursing
staff. He stopped to tie shoe lact

suddenly fell forward unconscious.
The members OF the staff rushed 70

but soon after collapsed again, when
blood was seen coming from his mouth.
Three physicians rendered all aid pos
sible. but without success.
Father John Lee Of the Marist Fathers
administered extreme JUNCTION and Mr..
Griffith expired as the priest was re-
citing the concluding prayer.
Mr.. Griffith's physicians had strongly
urged linn to take holiday. but he in
sisted on remaining at his post. saying
the urgent requiI ements OF the country
did not permit his leaving. One OF the
doctors said Mr. Griffith had not had a
holiday for years.
Called Martyr to Duty.
"If ever there was q martyr 70 duty
1t was he" said the doctor.
A prominent Free Stater said:
ireland has suffered an immeasurable
loss. AS Michael Collins Is the sword
OF the movement for a free and In
dependent Ireland. so Griffith was It's

The Government announces with
great sorrow that President Griffith, who
has been i'll for short time past died

President Harding's efforts to bring
about a quick ending of the railroad
strike resulted in secret conference
tonight in the New Willard Hotel
between railroad executives and rail-
road labor leaders to reach COM
promise, following the presentation by
both sides of their cases to the Presi-
dent during the afternoon.
In the hotel conference were said to
be Secretary of Labor Davis, George
Christian, the Presidents secretary;
President Sheppard of the Conductors
Brotherhood and President w. y.
Doak of the trainmen's brotherhood.
The conference tonight lasted three
hours. Both sides arc declared to
have shown an amicable attitude. The
railroad executives have an appoint
ment to meet President Harding to-
morrow morning. They will tell him
OF the developments of the latest cons
ference.
In the afternoon the Big Four BROTH
orhoods and six OF the other major
unions stepped into the breach in tho
role Of mediators in the controversy,
ut the same time making an announce
ment that striking shop craft had left
their case temporarily in the hands OF
the powerful railroad brotherhoods.
They conferred with the President for
four hours.
Although the President had IN his
hands the answer of the executives as
well as the answer of the shop crafts
unions TO his latest proffer for settle
ment, comment from the White House
was withheld. the answer of each
group being kept secret pending fur
ther efforts over Sunday to get some
degree of rapprochement between the
warning factione.
silence Is Maintained.
T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the
railway executives. refused TO COM
ment on the situation beyond an
nouncing that the executives would
stay over to discuss the situation in
further conferences tomorrow and
perhaps on Monday
The only statement forthcoming was
that from spokesmen OF the Big Four
and affiliated unions, this statement
taking the form Of an announcement
that they had taken charge OF tho
shopmen's cause and had offered 10
become conciliators in the controversy.
The execution Of this maneuver had
been expected. II was easily regarded
as the pivotal element tonight.
This turn In the situation implies
two things: First, that the Big Four
are making an effort to mediate the
seniority question and. second. that
there has been developed a degree OF
cohesion in the labor ranks which
would seem to indicate that unless
there Is q speedy settlement OF the
strike the Big -Four viii take a de-
termined hand In the struggle.
II was Indicated that the latest pro-
posal for a settlement would be de-
clined. Instead OF tho shipments rep
rcsentatives going to the White House
committee OF ten representing tho
Big Four brotherhoods went there and
spent nearly four hours in conference
with President Harding.

every city, town and hamlet to
mourn his passing.
1t was military funeral. Fellow
officers last night had borne the body
into the cathedral just as Collins a

body of his colleague Griffith. They
had stood guard all night and were
