BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire,
Washington, Jan. IA new drive
to obtain the liberation OF the Philip
pines was inaugurated today by the
Filipino leaders here on the basis OF
the changed conditions wrought by
the four-power Pacific treaty and
other achievements OF the conference
on the limitation OF ornaments.
The aim of the independence advo-
Gates now is to obtain not only an
act of congress freeing the Philip
pines, but reservation to the four
rover treaty declaring the intention
OF the United States to withdraw
from the islands within fixed per-
iod.
James C. de Veyra and Isaura
Gabaldon, the resident Philippine
commissioners, assert that the four
power treaty rembves "any real cause
of fear for the safety OF Philippine
republic" and that if any such appre.
tension persists the United States
easily could induce Great Britain,
France and Japan to sign a special
agreement neutralizing the Philip
pines.
How the four-power treaty will
hasten" Philippine independence is
thus set forth by the Filipino lead
ers:
Say Bugaboo Is Dead.
"Thc Japanese bugaboo as an i'm
portant factor in the Philippine indc-
pendence question is dead. 1t died
with the birth OF the four-power
treaty, having for its object the keep
ing of the peace in the Pacific.
with a single strong blow, the
administration has killed what up 70
this time has been a powerful factor,
if not the most powerful factor in
public opinion in the United States
against Philippine independence.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7.-(Special
Telegram Federal Judge I. &.
Munger dismissed contempt of court
charges against II of 18 striking
Nebraska City packing house en-
ployes because court records failed
to show that restraining order
against more than one picket at the
exit and one picket at the entrance
to the packing house had been served
personally on them.
Those against whom the charge
was dismissed included nine women,
who appeared in court.
The judge held that action of
packing house officials in placing 500
copies of the restraining order III
the union hall and having copies Of
il published in Nebraska City
newspaper was not sufficient.
1T involves a charge and personal
service is necessary" the judge
ruled.
Charges against six men strikers,
who, according to records, were
served personally, were heard late
this afternoon and at the judge
ordered recess until 8, saying that
the hearings must be concluded to-
night if it took until midnight.
Strikers on the stand testified that
there was a big crowd near the
packing house before 8 on the morn

stopped and stoned.
Strikers under oath testified the
only persons they recognized in the
crowd was Sheriff Fischer and a
deputy sheriff Judge Munger aided

to refresh memories of the strikers

Republic Passes Into History

When Members Vote
Approval of Treaty.
"Die Hards" Meet Today
BY JOHN STEELE.

Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 1929.
Dublin, Jan. 7.-The republic of
Ireland is dead; long live the Irish
Free State.
The republic died at 9:l0 p. M.
tonight when the chairman OF Dali
Eireann announced vote on the
treaty. Sixty-four voted for the
treaty and 81 against it.
Before the vote was announced the
news of how it was going had
reached the many thousands as
scmbled outside the National univcr-
sity and round after round OF cheers
disturbed the calm of the assembly,
which few minutes later was
thrown into as great fever of ex-
element itself.
The end came after the long, weary
debate lasting nearly month, with
an interruption for the Christmas
holidays, and the best speech in
favor of ratification was made this
afternoon by Cathal Brugha, the
minister of defense, who has been a
bitter opponent of any settlement
with England. His speech must have
won votes for the treaty by the vio-
lence of his attacks on Arthur Grif-
fifth and Michael Collins.
Sneers at Griffith.
He sneered at Mr.. Griffith as a
man who would never have taken
part in public life except for the re-
public and denied that Mr.. Collins
had military record, saying he was
only subordinate commander and
accusing him of seeking publicity.
In defending Erskine Childers. Mr..
Brugha said that Mr.. Childers had
done more than any one man to arm
the Irish people.
Mr.. Griffith, summing up in favor
OF the treaty, made mastery
speech lasting over an hour. He
protested in a dignificd manner
against attacks on his personal in
tegrity, pointed out the advantages
of the treaty and appealed to the
dali to accept it.
After the vote was taken Mr.. De
Valera sat for moment with his
head resting in his hands and then
rose, saying:
Whatever has happened, whatever
they do, the republic is still the legal
government of Ireland. / suppose
my resignation is due. but not yet.
/ call those who voted against the
treaty to a meeting with me to-
morrow at 1890"
Appeal for Unity.
Mr.. Collins made a dramatic ap-
peal for unity, declaring that it was
the duty OF all Irishmen TO work to-
gether to preserve public safety. He

Manifesto Warns Chiefs

/css Jan. British industry
sas rs wages bill more than ST.
poo [s eApOo a year.
~ There exists an organized con-
epracy to secure unreasonable re-
ductions in wages and drastic cx-
tension OF the normal working week.
These facts are doing more to foment
revolution. disorder and bloodshed
than all the activities of the extrcm-
lists Of the labor world,
Such are the declarations Of the
general council OF the Trade Union
congress, in a manifesto just issued.
IT contains strong message of
warning to the industrial chiefs of
Britain and to the vast middle-class
public, who, as labor sees it, permit
this alleged campaign of alteration OF
labor conditions to proceed without
protest.
Employers Warned.
"The existence OF a serious slump
in trade and abnormal unemploy-
ment," the manifesto reads, appear
to be considered by employers as an
opportunity for imposing reduction
in wages and increases in hours. In
some quarters the spirit OF getting
their own back appears to inspire
the employers, by which is meant
the determination to punish the
workers for their audacious attempt
to keep wages up during the war.
we have to warn employers that
a policy Of reprisals is one likely to
lead to disastrous consequences. Sta
biIity in industrial organizations
would be quite impossible, and a
policy Of attack and counter-attack,
as determined by opportunities.
would take the place Of negotiation.
"Thc worker has a moral right to
claim Improvement to working con-
ditions.
Theory Refused.
Organized labor will refuse to ac-
ccpt the theory that the proper func-
tion Of industry is to provide a bare
living for the worker and opportuni-
ty for wealth accumulation for the
employer.
I'VE are prepared to work for the
constitutional changes necessary for
the attainment OF higher standards,
but we warn those among the em-
ployers who would sabotage present
labor conditions that the extremists
on their side are more likely to crc-
ate undisciplined revolt. chaos and
disorder than the extremists on
ours.
we are convinced that in this
country, by constitutional effort, a
gradual evolution toward just So
cial order is possible. We lust as
emphatically declare, however, that
the patience of the WORKERS we rep.
resent will rapidly be exhausted II
the present attempt to re-establish
sweating, long hours and low wages
is successful"

Opposed to Safety Zones

The traffic safety committee
wants it understood that it does not
oppose safety zones at street car
loading points. To the contrary,
it approves them, but in the notes
of recent meeting an error in
transcript was made which indicated
that the committee had asked Po-
lice Commissioner Dunn to remove
the safety zone markings. The
notes should have referred to the
warts" which have been placed in
the middle of several street inter
sections. These warts" the COM
mittee points out, become covered
with snow and are therefore, diff
cult to see. The committee wants
them removed until spring.
