judicate the claims. and. as usual in
such cases. extravagant estimates are
materially cut down. But there's
enough German property in America
to offset the American claims against
Germany.
. Campaign ON Congress.
A very effective campaign has been
instituted by Germans in America to
persuade Congress to give back the
property to the lawful owners. Offi-
cials concede that if Congress were to
vote on the issue today the property
would be returned by an overwhelm-
ing vote. as there is no disposition to
hold the individual Germans respons-
ible for acts Of war
There is no tendency on the part of
American claimants against Germany
to inflict hardship on German owners
Of property in America but the people
whose relatives lost their lives on the
Lusitania are insisting that since the
iect money from Germany or the allies
for sums paid out since the armistice
to maintain the American army Of oc-
cupation, the only chance Of satisfying
American claimants Is either to ap-
propriate from the Treasury or to use
the German property indefinitely as
collateral for the issuance of bonds to
pay the American claims. 1t Is one of
the most complicated legal problems
that has arisen in the aftermath Of
war ana the question he's been slumb-
ering while our government investi-
gated the practice Of other countries.
Now the incident over the American
Army claim is emphasizing growing
relationship between the claims for
American lives and property destroyed
by Germany and the assets of Ger
man citizens held by the United States
government

"AUTOcRATIC ATTITUDE"
OF NINE OWNERS SCORED

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in q
statement issued yesterday. charged
that owners of coal mining properties,
both anthracite and bituminous, are
forcing general strike in union
mines by their "autocratic attitude"
and that the reason for their atu.
tude can be found in domination Of
the coal industry by financial in
terests.'
Mr.. Gompers supplemented these
charges with statistics which showed.
he declared, that real ownership Of
many bttuminoue coal properties lay
in the hands Of the steel industry,
while anthracite mines were said to
be largely adjuncts to railroad cp-
eration8."
Control OF the mines was thus,taken
ito an effective degree from the
hands Of actual operating men and
forests" he stated. sdSinE ~ coal mines
have merely become wheels in .
great profit-making machine" op-
Grated by men for whom '.all things
must give way to profits" =.
erai proeeedinss had disclosed that
seven railroads controlled s6 per cent
Of the output Of the anthracite fields
Mr.. Gompers continued. He named the
roads as the Reading, Lehfgh Valley,
Erie interests. Delaware aAd Hudson
Company. Pennsylvania. Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western. New York,
Ontario and Western and sadded the
names Of the Lehisn Coal and Nayiea-
tion Company. The result is. he as.
serted. that profits from coal opera
tions are not found in the coai nine
reports, but In dividend reports Of the
railroads" where they are 'manipulatsd
so as to appear moderate, or at . lcsr
in order that miners' wages may be "a.
tanned at the lowest conceivable le- a p
The labor president further sated
that the United States Steel Corpora-
ton controls vast interests" IN the
bituminous fields and in southern ter
deposits" making it ''impJesfbIe for
practical coal Management % have any
effective voice In the mAEine Of poll

GUARDING BLOODY PASS.
Republican Army at Clones Ready
to Meet Ulster Defenders.
BY WILLIAM II. RRayDEN

BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1922.
CLONES. Ireland, March 27.-Clones
is the storm center of the northern
border troubles. 1t commands strate-
gic points and is garrisoned by a
troops under the command of Gen.
Hogan. once a clerk in a local rail-
way Office, then in jail for his Sim
Fein opinions, and now responsible
every day for peace or war in this sa-
lient.
This was the point chosen for the
army council and the corresponden mt
has seen ten Ulster Republican COM
mandants. including the famous Dean
McKeown. assemble to debate the
anticipated aggression by the north
ern government. Republican troops
sallying out to meet the Ulster forces
coming from County Fermanagh. The
point of the expected conflict shows
that history is repeating itself. for 1t
has been known as the bloody pass
eince it figured in the Wiiiiamite
wars.
But the attack was not made. The
whole conflict on the border centers
on the possession of bridges. The
border is the river Blackwater and
about dozen bridges span it. The
northern parliament men desire to
isolate their area to prevent incur
sions by the southerners.- Their
police, therefore, attempt to break
down the bridges. The southerners
say they have paid half the cost Of
the erection and maintenance of these
bridges and refuse to permit their
destruction. They are irritated at
the. claim of the northetners. that
they have sthe right to destroy their
own half of a bridge, for half a
bridge is no bridge.
Snipers are posted on the southern
side to prevent individuals of the
northern police. day or night, from
placing dynamite charges under the
bridges, and the commanders are in
readiness to repel by force any COM
bined attack. Commandant Hogan
told the correspondent today that he
thinks the danger of serious con-
flict is disappearing.
Notwithstanding the prevailing
tension. it is said that the Protestants
on this side of the boundary live in
perfect peace with their Catholic
neighbors and that the acute sec
tartan bitterness prevalent in Belfast
is unknown here.
