DUBLlN.-Little hope for tangible
results in the direction OF peace was
expressed on the resumption today OF
the peace conference between the free
staters and republican, although Lord
Mayor O'Ncil and Arch. Bishop Byrne
have exerted themselves to the ut
most since the adjournment last week
TO effect an understanding.
The lord mayor, while expressing In
statement Wednesday the hope that
peace might come in the near future.
added that should the meeting fail, an
early combination Of the forces OF cap
ital and labor might be looked for in
IN effort to disorder.
Labor leaders are reported to have
conferred for the last few days with
the heads OF the provisional free state
government and the republicans and
may be represented at u latter meeting
although this Is not certain. IL seems
considerably in doubt whether, however,
labor would combine with capital in
the circumstances surrounded. as irish
labor has ever been suspicious OF such
alliance, whatever theo bjcct
Eamonn de Valera. republican lead
-r Is credited ia some quarters with
the intention to propose. upon resump
ton of the conference that the leaders
Of the rival sections OF the Irish ~
publican army-Richard Mulcahy for
the free staters and Roberick tRoryj
O'Conner for the republicans-be called
In TO share in the discussions.
One Of the main stumbling blocks in
the way Of an understanding is the ap.
parent irreconcilab,lity Of the two par.
ties regarding the holding of elections
on the existing parliamentary register.
Arthur Griffith is said Ia hold firmly
TO his view that the elections cannot
be postponed beyond the first week
In June, while Mr.. Dc Valera contends
that % new register is indispensable

Formerly Argenteuil and the
neighboring hamlets that slope
down to the river produced n rather
famous small" wine much beloved
by Parisians.
But at the beginning Of the last
century the grape vines were at

peasant. standing among his str ok
cD plants, had the idea OF planting
asparagus among the rows.
Three years later. when they had
come to maturity, he was able 70
send to the Paris markets aspara-
gus OF a size and succulence that
astounded and delighted the gour-
NETS. The old peasant had Tn

'GL00MS" HOLD SWAY
In OLD TOWN HALL

The "Glooms" held sway today at
the Public Employment Bureau in
the old City Hall, Sixth and Market
streets.
Although only one man had regis
tered for work up to 1 o'clock this
afternoon, the bureau was unable to
either refer or place any men in po-
sitions. In the women's division con-
ditions we're but little brighter.
Seven women registered for employ
ment, while only four were actually
placed Twelve women. however,
were referred to possible openings
for positions.
Among the seven women who reg
istered was a girl who gave her oc-
cupation as a pianist The positions
TO which the twelve men were re-
ferred were in a factory. while the
four women for whom positions ac-
tually were found were general
workers.
There was the usual crowd Of
men in the main hall, waiting with
patient fortitude for something
which might resemble a job and the
soggy weather outside found its
counterpart in the atmosphere of
the interior OF the hall itself.
