Insist on Erin's Liberty
Thirty-five thousand \r\Yv. sym?
pathizers, at a protest meeting in the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon,
demonstrated thc;r grief over the
death of Terence MacSwiney. The
leaders said that the tribute raid to
the Lord Mayor of Cork, who died in
Brixton Prison lasi Monday on the
? :x nty-fourth day of his hunger strike,
was the biggest held either in America
or Ireland. About 20,000 persons who
were unable to crowd into the grounds
\ ? re turned away, the police reported,
vas! was the audenco that tilled
j the tier-- of seats encircling the base
: bal! park that it ha.j to be divided into
! four sections. For each section a
' special speakers' stand was provided.
T.Y?!0?3 Eamon ne Valera, "President
of the Irish Republic," accompanied
by Governor Smith; Monsignor J. F.
Mooney, representing Archbishop Pat?
rick .1. Hayes: John P. O'Brien, Cor?
poration Counsel, representing Mayor
Hylan; Dudley1 Field Malone, Frank P.
Walsh, Jeremiah A. O'Leary and others
mounted the speakers' platform before
the grandstand the audience forgot
that it had been divided into sections.
The four separate meetings which had
had been in progress simultaneously
suddenly merged into one. The gr^at
throng rose to its feet, tore banners
from pole?, waved hats, handkerchiefs
flags and joined in a vociferous
. ? tbursl of handclapping, cheering and
v h . tling.
Cheering Lasts 12 Minutes
Mr. De Valera stepped forward to
restore quiet. His action' was the
signal for a new outburst, which con?
tinued for 12 minutes. The. audience,
instead of having only four speakers,
1 ad hundreds, for men and women
high up in the galleries among the
fluttering green, white and orange col?
ors of Ireland, clenirhed their fists and
yelled down :
"Wo will avenge MacSwiney's mur?
der'." "Ireland will be made free while
MacSwiney's memory is green!" and
'They have killed MacSwiney, but he
still lives!"
Mr. De Valera repeatedly held up
his hand for quiet. He provoked only
more and louder cheering. This was
augmented by a fife and drum corps
which began'to march to the air of
I "O'Donnell Abou" and a band which
played "Soldi? is of Erin." Behind the
! band a dozen women dre?sed in mourn
bore banners inscribed with
tributes to MacSwiney. The women
were those who recently had picketed
'he British Embassy in "Washington.
Hindus Join Celebration
Mr. De Valera, who had been

ill wae attempt-ng to speak, three
Hindus, e;'.ch wearing a brilliantly

of Brindell Revealed
?.
Tribute amounting to thousands of
dollars was paid to corrupt labor lead?
ers on nearly all steel building con?
struction in this city during the last
year, according to information in pos
: session of the Lockwood joint legisla
j tive Committee.
This information is said to uncover
! another source of revenue of union
? leaders being investigated by the com
i mittee. Their operations, in conjunc
j tion with a combination of contractors,
i are declared to bo responsible for the
high cost of construction and the acute
housing situation.
Tue leles in this instance appear pos
\ sible, because the union of iron and
steel workers m this industry is not
i affiliated with the Building' Trades
: Council or the American federation of
Labor. The union is known as the
Housesmiths' Union and is so weak
that this particular phase of the build?
ing industry has been conducted under
ojien shop conditions.
How the System Worked
From stories told to counsel for the
committee by many builders who prob?
ably will relate their experiences on
the.stand next Thursday the system
worked somewhat as follows: the con?
tractor was permitted to get three or
four- stories of his structure up un?
molested, Then all the unionized work?
ers affiliated with the Building Trades
Council were called out suddenly or
strike on the ground that non-union
men, th?' steel *r,<l iron workers, were
| employed on the job.
Weeks would pass, during which
l negotiations would be carried on be
j tween the contractors and union lead?
ers. It was said by some of these con?
tractors that in many cases the labor
leaders wouM demand that all the
work done by the nonunion men be
torn down as a condition for the re?
turn of the other union workers.
This, they declared, would amount to
pratically all the steel framework.
I The controversy, thegr asserted, finally
? would resolve itself into a question
of money, and after a few days of
dickering the affair would be fixed up
by a payment. Work would be re?
sumed with the same union and' non?
union men.
i The. system was worked almost in
, cessantly all last year, say builder*.
, and the amount of money handed over
; for permission to continue work is
'said to have run into many thousands
i >f aollars, It was recalled a similar
' question arose at the time contracts
| i'or the proposed new courthouse were
; up for consideration before the Board
of Aldermen.
In this connection it was said that
wher the question of awarding the
$2,37?,00Q limestone contract to the
Henry Hanlein firm was under dis
cus.-ion William P. Kenneally, vice
president of the board, asserted that
if Hanlcin was given the contract lie
had the promise of Robert P Brindell,
head e>f the Building Trades Council
! that no labor trouble would be ex
? perienced over the open shop steel to
: be used in the structure. Kenneally
is a member of the Building Trades
Council.
Brindell Got Warning
It developed, too, that the painter?
and carpenters of the city are up in
arms over Brindell's methods of in?
ducting so-called carpenters into the
Dock Builders' Union and the forma?
tion o: what tney term an outlaw paint?
ers union in an alleged effort to dis?
rupt the regular organizations in thest
two industries.
In connection with the outlaw paint?
ers' union, John Donlin, head of the
building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor, ha?
written a letter to Brindell in which
he declares that, his action is in direct
violation of the A. F. of L. rules and
that it the new union was not di&bandec
the A. F. of L. charter of the Bui.ding
Trades Council would be revoked.
The Brotherhood of Painters, Deco?

Baron Fernioy Dies in London;
New York Man Inherits Title
LONDON". Oct. 31.?The Hon. James
> Boothby Burke Roche, who succeeded to
the title of Baron Fermoy on the death
of his father September 1, died unex?
pectedly in London Saturday.
The new heir to the title of Baron
Fermoy is Edmund Maurice Burke
Koche, elder of twin bro.hers, born in
: 1SS5 and brouEht up in New \ork.
; Their mother was Frances Ellen Work,
i .New York society woman, who in the
'80s was considered one of the
beauties of this city. She was the
daughter of Frank Work, wealthy
bank?'!', who provided in his will that
his grandsons could only inherit his
fortune, amounting to several millions,
if they became naturalized in the
United States within a year after his
I? ath . 1911 ? and adopted the nan ? ? ?
Work. fherc were other provisions
designed to Americanize the tw:ti?? and
keep them away from all Europ.an in?
fluences.
A violent quarrel had separated their
parents, and when Mrs. Roche went
i home to her father her husband sent
j the children to join her- ?and they there?
after lived in New York and were
I brought up in New York society.
The twins were to all appearances
\ Americans, but as a matte'- of fact
they retained their Brit/.,h citizenship
and Edmund Maurice his right to his
[father's title. Ten years ago the twins
I went to Europe, despite the fact that
j the will of Frank Work had implied
they should not do so, but whether the
terms of the will were actually violated
j was never clearly developed!" In Lon
I don the twins were received in society
'and Edmund Maurice was generally rec
i ognized as the heir to the title,
James Boothby Burke Roche, father
I of the twins and of a third child, a
daughter, was divorced before he suc?
ceeded to his father's tit e. He was
; born July 28, 185L'. He was educated
j at Trinity College, Cambridge, where
! he was graduated with the degree of
Master of Arts. He was an Irish Na

Fact Is Revealed
By Corres pondes i f
Writer l'or a Democratic'
Newspaper Asserts He
Saw the "Lying Stuff".
Charges that the canard regarding
Warren G. Harding's ancestry was cir- :
culated from Governor Cox's special
i ram in its tour through the country
were made last night by Scott C. Bono,'
Direct..]- of Publicity of the Republi?
can .National Committee,
rhe charges were made on informa?
tion volunteered by the Washington j
correspondent of a Democratic news- ;
paper in the East, who told Mr. Bono
that the "lying stuff" was disseminated
from the Cox train by, a man connected
with the Democratic State Committee.
"The 'whispering campaign* so in?
sidiously and wickedl;? carried on by
.conscienceless Democratic partisans is
now out into the light and condemned;
by (ho press of the country. Democratic
and Republican newspapers alike," said
Mr. Bone.
"Originating in Ohio, with no other
foundation for it than the vaporings of
a miserable person of unbalanced mind,
it was designedly and systematically
spread from state to state, at the cost
of many thousands of dollars.
"That the author of the calumny has
not borne this expense is too obvious
for comment.
"The Washing-ton correspondent of a
large Democratic newspaper here in thi
East to-day volunteered the informa?
tion that to his personal knowledge the
lying stuff, in printed, mimeographed
or typewritten form, was in evidence
on Governor Cox's special train and
disseminated by a young man e'o".ply
connected with the Ohio Democratic
State Committee.
"The sordid facts speak for them?
selves. In ali tlu. annals of American
politics there is nothing approaching
this infamous chapter which must
.rouse the righteous wratli and indig?
nation of every right-thinkin?: man and
woman the country over.
"To the everlasting credit of Ameri?
can journalism, no Democratic newspa?
per of censequene? has been so do
based as to lend itself to such cam?
paign mechods or touch the slander.
"It has been more than a 'whisper?
ing campaign.' It has been a sinister
plot and conspiracy. The overwhelm?
ing election of Harding and Coolidge
will bo the answer to such campaign
tactics."
Democrats Stunned
By Exposure of Lie
Cruel and Cowardly Aspersion
on ?fording Ancestry Used
in Bid for Women's Jote
By Carter Field
WASHINGTON, Oct. ?1..A quick
shift in attitude on the part of Demo
eratic office holders h-re was noticed
to day, after the New York papers
showing the exposure of the Demo
eratic poison gas attack on Harding's
ancestry arrived. For weeks nearly
y Democratic worker has been
chuckling over the success they were
meeting in their circulation of the
most contemptible, cruel lie ever used
in American politics.
Last night they were still chuckling
and saying that the much talked about
"drift to Cox" had surely set in so
far as the semi-Southern states were
concerned, and that the story had cer?
tainly saved Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ken?
tucky and Maryland. They were even
hopeful of Missouri.
To-day most of them as: umed the
shocked attitude befitting an appear?
ance in public print. Apparently they
ere not very pleased, which seems sur?
prising, for early in the campaign
Democratic wotkers in Ohio were mak?
ing every possible effort to get some
of their organs to print it.

MARION, Ohio, Oct. 31.?The text of Senator Harding's final cam?

"Two issues are made by the voters in this campaign. One of
them is the foreign policy of the United States. The other is the do?

"Between our Democratic opponent and the American people
who are supporting the Republican party these, issues are clearly
drawn. .
"There has been a steady attempt to deceive the people as to the

to prevent war and to cooperate for peace. This, is a deceit, and. of
course, is an attempt to blind the people to the? League of Nations
issue as it was framed by the Democratic leadens and by the Demo?
cratic platform. ""
"The issue as presented by the Democratic Administration and
its representatives in this campaign is simply this: 'Shall v.. enter
the Paris League of Nations, assuming among ether obligations the
obligations of Article X'."
"The answer of the Democratic group is Tes.' The answer of
the Republican party and its candidate is 'No!'
INo Mortgage on American Conscience
"The reason for answering 'No' to the qtuestion drawn by our
opponents is that America is not ready to mprtgage her conscience
to the Old World or engage to send her boys to war to carry on an
old European controversy, or place her resources at the heck and call
of a group of shrewd diplomats acting for an armed alliance masked
under the benevolent title of the League of Nations. %
"America has already given her answer to the proposal to give
up our nationality and our Hag. That answetr is 'No' and 'No' is the
answer i : 1 the Republican party.
"My Democratic opponent hearing that decisive 'No' would like
; > change the issue. They have presented and made an issue on the
liiestion of what, our parly will do about a League of Nations.
"I have told them what I would do. 1 have told them that I
would do my best to unite America behind a plan for an assoeiation of
nations which we may join in safety, honor and good conscience, but
without selling our birthright for a mess of military pottage. I have
said from first to last in this campaign that 1 would consult the
Senate and consult the people, because I am deeply impressed with
I the utter failure and waste of an executive policy of fabricating a
j League of Nations first and consulting America afterward.
"I "ant to consult America first and take a course which will
i unite America and make it possible to join a world fraternity of
nations, rather than a course which will divide America and make
| it impossible for us to do anything. A Democratic victory means a
continued deadlock with the Senate, which has been so fruitless and
will be fruitless forever.
"Our.opponents have asked the American people to approve their
draft of a league. The American people have said 'No.' This means
that the man who is elected President must set his face toward a
constructive plan. I have pointed the way.
?s
Definite Constructive Program Needed
"The other issue in this campaign arises from the need of a
definite constructive policy for putting our own house in order and
attending to the repairs and reconstruction which eight years of Dem?
ocratic mismanagement have made necessary. A little more of this
mismanagement and of its wastes, follies, spendthrift policy ->.nd vacil?
lating conduct would put our industry, business and agriculture on
the rocks.
"The next Administration will have all it can do to make these
ropairs. Certainly every one's attitude toward America's future and
America's example to the world requires thought of a constructive
program. It would be madness for us to go on as we have been
going. For that reason I have stated the program of the Republican
party.
"? have said we must restore constitutional government, so that
the will of the people rather than the will of one-man government
should control. I have said that we must gather the best abilitie?
among Americans to help. I have said we must unite Americans in
harmony and in patriotic, industrious willingness to play our parts.
"I have said we must protect our industry from unfair foreign
competition, that we must restore our agricultural prosperity, that we
must build and maintain our merchant marine and expand our foreign
trade. I have said that we must make our government efficient and
cut our taxes by saving in the cost of government. We must stop the
wild wastes which arc still going on.
"I have said we must conserve and develop our natural resources.
I have said we must conserve and develop our human resources. 1
have set forth a transportation policy and asked for r?clam?t! n. irri?
gation, drainage and for development of waterways and waterp?
I have set forth a social justice program for our national 1 for
the protection of American motherhood and our childhoo< .id to
alleviate human suffering.
"To me it appears-nothing short or neglect for America to fail to
set forth a constructive program to repair Democratic damage.
"Our party has announed its program, and I have spoken it again
and again. We must heed the new order and the call to take the
safe paths of progress again, to be thinking and acting for America
first and continue our Republic as the best place under the shining
sun in which to live and aspire."
Two French Statesmen Favor
League Reservations for U. S.

Rprrial Cable to The Tribune
Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune inc.
! PARIS, Oct. 31.?In special election I
j interviews for The Tribune two for?
mer Premiers of France, one the per- ?
I marient president of the French For- '
eign Relations Commission and the
I other Prime Minister when the United
States entered the war, confirm
' France's understanding of America's
1 desire to make reservations regarding
j the provisions of the League of Nations
covenant.
Louis Barthou, the French, writer an?!
Academician, affirms that there can be
ho League of Nations without Amer?
ica, and adds:
"Even if she enters only with re
: strictions and precautions, it is neces?
sary to the peace of the world that
she lend to it the wisdom of her coun
] sel and the impartial authority of her
! judgment."
I Alexander Ribot says that America is
! to be congratulated on her prudence
! regarding the lea?gue.
"I fully approve of the desire of
Americans for a close examination of
the obligations which their entry into
the Ijftgue would entail," he said. "And
I approve of their wanting to maintain !
their constitutional principle that the j
United States cannot go to war with- !
out the express consent of national
opinion."
Both of these eminent Frenchmen,
however, explain their special point of
view and the reasons why they don't
believe America will or can afford to re?
main isolated from the powers which
regulate the trend of events in the
world. ?
M. Barthou ?ays in this conn*ti ? :
"France has no intention of ?nter
fering in the internal politics of the
Un ted States. She has neither the
rij ht nor the nu an o doing so. It is
for the great American democracy
alone to decide upon her own destiny.
Rut, on the oth;r hand, America's for?
eign policy cannot b?v. a matter ?.f in?
difference to the rest of the world and
to France. The United States cannot
.entirely detach herself from the affairs
I of Europe. The recent war in which
i she played such a great r?le has
; created and developed ties and senti

Senator Harding declared his
Democratic opponent had sought to
ignoro the all important domestic
issue by devoting himself to any ef?
fort to deceive the people ab .?: the
League of Nations. The Republican
candidate reviewed the promises ho
had made the voters in the campaign

Denning League Issue
In deiining the league issue, Senator
Harding said:
"The issui a.-, presented by the Dem?

sentatives in this campaign is
this: 'Shall we enter the Pans League
of Nations, assuming among oth r ob?
ligations the obligations of Article X';'
"The answer of the Democ.
group i- 'Yes.' The answer of the Ete
publican party and its candidate is
; 'No.'
"America is not ready to mortgage
her conscience to the Ohl World or
agree to send hei citizens to ? agage
in European disputes," Senator Hard?
ing said hi giving the reason '"or the
decision against all that is represented
by Article a,
Senator Harding also made public a
telegram he ha?i sent to Repuh
candidates for the Senate
ous states, expressing his belief that
the people of the country would wel?
come the return of the Republh
party to power and the restoral
constitutional government to r? ;
the present over-centralized one >
power and the inefficiency of that
tern. "Your election to the Senate by

America, ready to go forward to new
confidence and achievements," the mes
ige added.
Never Doubted Election
Tnroughout the cam] lign I re has
never been a moment when Senator
!! trd ng felt that there was any doubt
of his election, there have been times,
though, when he was disturbed at (he
possibility o? t1:-' Republicans losing
control of the Senate. All such fears
have now disappeared.
Senator Hard n '*s telegram to th?
Republican Senatorial nominees, fol?
lows;
"The people or your state, looking
backward tow ird eight years of mis
management of our foreign aad do?

Covered Ml Phase?
The S<nator has devoted it least one
speech of his campaign to every pbate
of the definite constructive policy tl '
he contemplates as a means of putt ag
the American house in order. Many
times during the campaign he has
faced an audience thai, waned to hear
lim denounce the Democrats, and he
has instead jaad them a c refully pre
pared address reveal ng his plan for
dealing with the railroad tangle, the
coal muddie, the mer? haut mai ne or
the tariff. By doing this he baa oe
liberately sacrificed Hurrah stuff and
applause, but he has made his au
Jiences think, and he has a'ways man?
aged to give them a f< w phrases 'hey
