DE VALERA OBJECTS TO
 NEW IRISH CONSTITUTION

Dublin. June 21 (By the A. P0-Ea- monn De Valera tonight Issued a state ment saying he does not believe the Dali Eireann will pass the new Irish consti- tuition in it's present form. He declares the constitution would exclude from pI5- lie service and particularly disfranchise every honest republican.
 Mir. De Valera made this pronounce ment to newspaper representatives seek ing a statement on the results of the election. He said:
 These results seem indeed a triumph for the imperial methods of pacihcstion outrage, murder and massacre, and then a threat with a concession. the pol icy of a kick and a caress, with kick in reserve.
 By the threat of immediate renewal of the infamous war. our people. har- assed and weary and fearful of chaos have in the majority, voted as England wanted, but their hearts and their as pirations are unchanged, and Ireland free will never be at rest or genuinely reconciled with England. England s gair is for the moment only, and England difficulty will still be prayed for as Ire lands opportunity.
 The men and women who have beei rejected by the electorate have gon down with their flags flying, untouched by the prospect of place or power. tru' ! to their principles, true to every pledg' and promise they gave, true to the deat who died for Ireland. With those hal lowed names theirs will be foreve rcou pied with honorable mention in one O the most glorious chapters of their na tion's story"
 As for the published Constitution. MT De Valera said it was still only draft and he felt confident that the Dali Fire ann would not pass it as it stood "As 1t stands he said, it will eXcluo' from public service and practically dis franchise every honest republican. is test code as comprehensive agains republicans as the test acts of Claren don, and the Shaftsbury code agains Catholics and dissenters in the reign Q l Charles II.

AGREE ON THE
 ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL

Washington. June 21.-House and sen- ate conferees on the army appropriation bill agreed late today on a maximum of 12-000 officers as the permanent strength for the army for the next twelve months. The house had provided for only 11,O00, while the senate amended the bill to pro- vide an average of 12,5oO for the coming year.
 The agreement leaves only one question of importance to be decided, the commit tees already having settled on an enlisted strength of 125, ,000 for next year. Meth ods of reducing the number of officers from the present number of more than 13,000 to that prescribed by the bill have proved a stumbling block, and it was said after today's meeting that in all probabil- ity the senate amendment covering the reduction would have to be rewritten be- fore it would be acceptable to the house delegation. Several members of the con- ference felt, however, that another day or two would result in an agreement on that feature.

CLOTHING WORKERS STRIKE
 TO ENFORCE CLOSED sHoT

New York, June q (By the A. P.)- Representatives of the three clothing contractors associations in the New York market with a total membership of 500, met late today and approved, with one reservation. the action of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers in call ing general stoppage of work in the metropolitan district to enforce the closed shop.
 The one condition. which will be dis cussed at a conference with union off, cials tomorrow morning, is that the union follow up the stoppage by strict enforcement of its rules in all contra; ing shops in the district If the union complies with this demand the contrac- tors will cooperate in bringing manu- lecturers into line officials said.
 The principal rule which the union seeks to enforce by the stoppage is that requiring manufacturers to register with the union all outside shops,' or con tractors. to whom they give out the cut up materials to be made into clothing. It is estimated that there are 1900 to 1.500 clothing manufacturers, about L. GOO contractors and more than 50,0OO workers in the district. The first group of workers, which walked out today. was estimated at from 10000 up. Hyman Blumberg, manager of the New York joint board of the union, said all the workers would be called out if neces- sary, but that many manufacturers ai- ready were settling"
 There is no manufacturers association but individual manufacturers say there is nothing to the stoppage," and that shops which are organized are comply ing with the union rules. A large num- Der of the shops however, are said tc be non-union and to be letting their con tract work outside of the city.
 Following the contractors meeting Hyman Sussman, president of the Pants Contractors association, said the pur. pose of the stoppage, and the aim of tht
 contractors in aiding the uinon Is "tt equalize conditions in this market" Many manufacturers" he said, "havt
 been letting their work out to non-union
 or corporation shops, at prices fol
 which the union shops cannot do tht work without lowering wages.
 Our prices are fair and we propose tc
 maintain them, and at the same time tt i help the union maintain the wages 0 | the workers. The effect of the stoppag i will be to force unfair contracting shop out of business or to compel them t, become members of their respective asso
 citations"
 | Union officials said workers would re i turn "as fast as the various shops cal
 be ok'd' and that normal production wa
 expected within week or two.
 Manufacturers are now working ol
 orders for the heavyweight season.
