Collins Left Dublin
Sunday in Motor Car

DUBLIN. Aug. 22-The news OF
Michael Collins death has over
whelmed the great majority of the
Irish who had seen in him Erin's
hope for peace after the long years
of fighting.
At the time Of his death Collins
was commander in chief of the
army, chairman of the Provisional
Government and Secretary of the
Treasury in the Cabinet OF the Dali
Eireann. His loss. combined with
that of Arthur Griffith on August
l3. will affect ireland in a manner
now impossible to conceive.
Left Dublin sunday.
Collins, with Commandant Gen
eral Fistan Lynch. an aide and a
driver. left Dublin on Sunday morn
ing in a high-powered four-seated
motor car of special make which
recently had been presented to him
by admirers. On Sunday morning
at Limerick Gen. O'Duffy, a member
of the army council with Collins,
Joined the party on an inspection
trip through the southwestern COM
mand.
An armored car led the party,
which included two motor lorries
carrying soldiers and another arm
ored car brought up the rear. While
the route was not announced IT is
known that Collins intended to
visit a number of the cities which
had been recently occupied by his
troops. To reach them II was nec-
essary to pass through many miles
of country in which roamed small
bands of Irregulars.
Urges No Reprisals.
No details OF the tragedy were
furnished by general headquarters,
but Richard Mulcahy. the chief of
staff, got out the following order
which was read to all commands:
stand calmly by your post. Let
no cruel act of reprisal blemish
your honor.
The dark hours which Michael
Collins has met since 1916 seemed
to steel his bright sNength and to
temper his gay bravery.
You are left, each of you, an in
heritance of that stregth and brav-
cry.
Let each fll his unfinished
work. Let there be no darkness
and do not let the loss of our COM
rade daunt you.

COntthued from rage one.
invitation of the anthracite opera
tors to participate in the joint con-
ference we believed that it was
their purpose to effectuate a set
tlement of the anthracite strike.
We were. therefore. after entering
the conference, astonished to find
that they had resurrected the theory
Of arbitration. and again offered it
as a condition of settlement.
The entire week of conference
has been taken up by discussion of
this matter. The position of the
United Mine Workers on this ques-
recognized. We do not believe the
principle of collective bargaining
should be set aside or substituted
by any theory of arbitration. Our
position on this question has been
repeatedly made clear, and there is
no intent on the part of the United
Mine Workers to compromise this
principle.
.-, Opposed to Arbitration.
THE most recent offer of the an
thracite operators made to the con-
ference several days ago provides
for so-called voluntary plan of ar
bitration, similar to the plan under
which the Railway Labor Board
operates. and Identical with the
principle set forth in the Canadian
industrial disputes act.
The mine workers representa-
tives in the anthracite conference
proposed the making OF contract
until March 81, 1924. and would have
given serious consideration to the
making of a longer term contract.
thus guaranteeing the stability of
the industry free from interruption
of production and carrying insur-
ance to the public that its supply
of anthracite fuel would be ade-
quate. Our offer in this respect was
met with the brutally frank state
ment Of the anthracite operators
that the price of such an agreement
nSIst be arbitration of the wage
scale at stated periods.
Refuse to Purchase Peace.
THE mine workers have declined
to purchase peace at such a cost.
We have every honorable desire to
negotiate an agreement for the an
thracite industry and in considera-
tion of that purpose have devoted
the past week in a sincere attempt
to accomplish this end. The per-
sistent actions of the representa-
tives of the anthracite operators In
declining to discuss any other ques-
tion than arbitration seemingly in
dlcates a lack OF desire upon their
part for such settlement.
"Tf the anthracite operators now
continue to occupy the position
which makes a settlement of this
question impossible then they and
they alone must bear the RESPONSE
bility before the bar of public opin-
ion."
