IRISH REBELLION
APPEARS TO Be IN
FINAL COLLAPSE
Only Handful of Insurgents Are Now
Holding Out Against the Troops
or Irish Free State-Lead-
er Surrendered.

Dublin, July 5. - A handful of reb-
els held out today against troops of
the Free State.
Sporadic, feeble firing still came
from the little group of shell-torn
buildings on Sackville street where
the rebellion of F (ory o'connor, now in
Jail, was dying under the reported
leadership of Eamonn de Valera.
Free State artillery tossed 1S-pound
shells into the comink ruins whence
the rebel fire came but the effort to
dislodge the remaining extremists was
half-hearted
Collins men were sick of bloodshed
and the killing of fellow -Irishmen
Hope was that the rebels would find
way to surrender as did their leader
and end the useless civil war.
Armored cars, bombs and fresh
troops were ready to stamp out the
last spark of rebellion in the Irish
capital IL demands for capitulatior
were rejected this afternoon.

FURTHER STRIKES
ON RAILROADS ARE
NOT NOW LIKELY
Maintenance of Way Workmen Settle
Difference and VIII Not Join the
Striking ShOpmen in
A WalkOut

Chicago, July 5. - Striking shop
craft employees Of railroads of the
country played lone hand today, fol-
lowing refusal of maintenance of way
union leaders to plunge that organiza-
ton into the strike.
With burning of 2700 envelopes con-
tanning strike orders to maintenance
of way workers, danger that 100000
additional railroad workers would join
the shopmen's walkout was passed.
Peace between maintenance men
and the railroads came after an all
day session between union leaders and
members of United States Railroad
Labor Board.
The board promised to reconsider
the $50,000,000 wage cut, effective July
1. If the board finds the cost of living
has gone up instead of down since the
last government figures were issued
and new wage scale is worked out
it will be retroactive to July Is.
Action of the maintenance men Is
expected definitely to prevent other
allied unions joining the shopworkers.
The clerks have negotiated wage
agreement with more than a score of
roads, and it is considered unlikely
that they will strike. Although Tim
othy Healy, president of the Station
ary, Firemen and lers, told the 5000
members of his organization they had
"a perfect right to strike" few locals
responded by walkout.

the board was satisfied that neither the

Congress will impose any such drastic
tax on the surpluses and stock dividends
as has been generally feared. He added
that the board was satisfied also that
a dividend action at this time under the
present tax law is not clearly beyond
the power of being taxed retroactively
by subsequent tax law.
In his letter to stockholders Mr..
Doherty said that the officers OF the
