Irish Free State
IS OPPOSED TO DE VALERA
Stark Branch Of Friends Of Irish
Freedom Organized Sun
day Afternoon

At largely attended meeting held
in the K. Of c. hall, yesterday after
noon, David OConor, SIM Fein editor
Of Dublin, Ireland, and national organ.
izer Of the Friends Of Irish Freedom
delivered lecture on the Irish Free
State. Mr.. O'Conof, who was a col
league Of Arthur Griffith In Dublin,
said the Free State should be support
ed, and the people should stand solidly
behind Griffith and Collins II was
not all what Ireland had in view, but
1t was beginning, that would event
ually lead TO the removal of all the
restrictions which limited the free
dom and development OF their terri
tory under the pact He emphasized
th& 1t was American pubic opinion
thai really won the past from England
and said, Furthermore, that If the
American people had not been inter-
fered with by De Valera, and had been
perm tied to work their own capable
way as American citizens, that terms
right up to the fullest aspirations Of
the Irish people would have been
forced from Lloyd George.
De Valera was now again trying to
bring dissension into Ireland as he
had brought 1t into America, and con-
sequently every decent-minded man
and woman in the community should
protest against this wanton work OF
dividing up a united people. Mr.
OConor, however, assured his audi
ence that the Irish people would vote
for the pact despite De Valera.
In reply to questions as to the OBJ
ject of the Friends Of Irish Freedom
organization now, Mr.. O'Conor said,
the organization was necessary, not
alone now to stand by Griffith and
Collins, and give them their support
in their fisht egainat De Valera, but
that it was absolutely necessary in
the future. When the Irish govern.
ment would begin TO take up the ques-
ton of the final removal OF the Brit
ish forces from Ireland, and the restor-
alton of the Irish maritime cities.
towns and submarine stations now In
possession of England American sup
port would be wanted. With America
behind the Irish government, England
would not try any OF her tricks of
irtrigues, Consequently, the Ameri-
can organization of the Friends OF Ir.
ish Freedom was really as necessary
now as, il not more, than 1t had been
hitherto.
The remarks of the learned lecturer
were received most cordially and at
the close the General John Stark
branch of the Friends OF Irish Free,
dom was formed with the following
officers: President, Rev. T. r. Carty;
vice president, John Carrigan; record
ing secretary Mrs. Conrad Schwartz;

TEXTILE MILL MEN
AND OPERATIVES
ARE DEADL0CKED
Standing Firm of Sixth Week of
Big Strike
MANY PLANTS SHUT DOWN
Forty-fve Thousand Workers in
Rhode Island and New
Hampshire Are Idle

Boston. Feb. 26.-The beginning of
the sixth week in Rhode Island and
the third week in New Hampshire Of
the strike which has closed many
cotton mills, finds mill-owners and
strike leaders in both states appar-
ent'y determined to maintain their
positions. Some $4,000 operatives are
idle.
In Rhode Island the State Board Of
Mediation and Cancellation has asked
manufacturers and strike leaders OF
the Pawtucket and Blackstone Valleys
to reply by Tuesday afternoon to its
proposals that its chairman, Judge
j. Jerome Hahn, be appointed sole
mediator of the wage dispute. This
proposition would involve the return
Of the operatives to the mills at
once at rate Of wages to be deter
mined by Judge Hahn and to be eff
fective until his final decision, and at
the hours of labor that prevailed be-
fore the strike. He would make no
decision in regard to working hours,
which the board considers a matter
for the Legislature to determine. No
mediation move is pending In New
Hampshire. The Governor and coun-
c'l last week refused TO call a
special session Of the Legislature to
consider the enactment Of 4S-hour
law for mill workers, on the ground
that a bill for such a purpose was
decisively defeated at the last regu'
lar session, and that its success at a
special session was improbable
Disturbances early last week In
Rhode Island. in one Of which a man
was killed at Pawtucket, have not
been repeated In New Hampshire
where the principal strike center Is
the great plant Of the Amoskeag
Mills at Manchester. there has not
been any disorder since the walk
out.
The strikes in both states were
called as a protest against reduo
tion in wages amounting in most
cases to 30 per cent. and an extern
sion of the working week in many
of the mills from As to 54 hours.
The new wages and working con
dltions were accepted by operatives
al mills in Vermont and Maine, and
at the few mills in Massachusetts
which announced them, except at
two mills in Lowell, where strikes
were called.
No wage reductions have been
made recently in the important
Massachusetts textile cities Of New
Bedford. Fail River and Lawrence.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
DESCRIBED IN DETAIL
Superintendent Wilson Gives Interest
ing Lecture in Fortnlehtly's Sat
urday Afternoon Series,

Charles w. Wilson, superintendent
OF the Vermont industrial school at
Vergennes, was the speaker at the
regular meeting Of the Fortnightly
club Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Wilson's address was delight
fully informal It was his aim he said,
since the public found 1t difficult to go
to Vergennes to visit the industrial
school, to bring 1t and its mission to
the public At present the school
comprises 272 individuals, 17S boys
and "a girls. To take care of such
large family requires intensive plann-
ing and plenty of hard work for all
concerned. All of the vegetables for
the table, grain for the cattle and
horses, are raised on the school farms,
the boys assisting In the work. The
girls attend to the sewing. mending
and darning No attempt Is made to
adopt any distinctive uniform and
since each girl does her own sewing,
originality and individuality have
plenty of chance for expression and
development,
The cooking, too, is done by the
girls, since a barrel of -four and seven
bushels of potatoes are used daily,
the enormity of this task can not be
underestimated In addition the vege-
tables and fruit raised on the farm
are canned by the girls for winter use
When a child arrives for admis
sion to the school he is first taken
to the administration building where
money, II he has any, is taken and
deposited to his credit, where in all
possible friendliness a record of the
oafense for which he is to be commit
ted. is taken. and finally where If nee
essary. he receives a good dinner
From here he goes to the hospital
where he is'detained for ten days. He
undergoes thorough medical and psy-
Geological inspections. Upon his sub
sequent return to the administrat on
building he is committed to one of the
cottages. Just which one depends upon
his physical test, psychological test
and offense necessitating commitment
There are six cottages in use, four for
boys, two for girls and one almost
completed to be used by the girls.
Each cottage is presided over by a
master and matron. and assistants
All OF the manual work is done in
the morning. Besides the farm work
for the boys and house work for the
girls, opportunity is given for trade
development, carpentry, printing, etc.
Thus the entire afternoon is given
over to actual class room work where
instruction is given in all grade work
through the junior high school. High
er training is obtained at the Nergen-
nes high school.
Mr.. Wilson stated that 50 per cent
of the former inmates are doing well,
that is keeping out of trouble. Much
difficulty is being experienced in plac-
ing in proper environment girls par,
ticularly who reach the age limit OF
retention, is years
The next meeting Of the cub takes
place Saturday afternoon when Prof.
Arthur Wallace Peach lectures on
James Wh.tcomb Riley.

Sunday night was an open date in
the Forum course and It was filed in
by Rev George S. Mills who spoke
on Evolution and Christianity" at
union service at the Baptist church.
The audience was even larger than
at most OF the Forum meetings.
Mr.. Mills held that the theory OF
evolution is not in any way contrary
to the Christian relig on and t.lat the
belief that scientists are chiefly
atheists Is wide of the truth. The
Bible is not and does not claim to be
a scientific treatise and the rellg Gus
doctrines it teaches in allegory. his
tory and poetry are all easily recon.
ci ed with tde discoveries made by
science.
