DUBLIN. October 15.-Labor and
financial questions have recently
overshadowed the political trouble
with the republicans, but this trouble
is not at an end. The republicans
discount the releases from prison by
stating that the government statistics
of the releases are illusory, adding:
I'm many cases the new arrests eX-
ceed the number of those released,
and the overcrowding of the prisons
is greater than before"
The republicans now are concen-
trating on the Ard Fheis. or general
assembly of Sim Fein organizations,
which is announced for tomorrow.
The Ard Fheis met last May. when an
arrangement was reached governing
the elections.
Subsequent events, including the
fighting, have altogether changed
the situation, and the organization
now represents almost entirely re-
publicans hostile to the Free State.
1t is stated that the Ard Fheis will
be attended by $500 delegates, rep
resenting $50 Sim Fein clubs
throughout Ireland. The policy of
the organization will be discussed
and decided. Most of the leaders are
in jail; others are on the run. but all
