HAVE LITTLE HOPE. The resolutions recently adopted by Congress on the Irish question have been formally transmitted to the Poaco Conference. What the outcome will be remains to be seen, but it is safe to conjecture that the matter will receive no more consid eration than on previous occasions. In spite of the numberless demands made on our delegates at the con ference that the Irish question be acted upon, nothing has been done. Repeated eveuses -have, been offered and the whole matter skillfully side tracked. Ireland Is asking no favor, but merely demanding that the Irish people be not excluded from the ap plication of the principle of self de termination. It is ridiculous to pic ture England as the "friend of the downtrodden and oppressed," and the "protector and saviour of all snialTnatlons," lor her professed democracy can in no way be recon ciled with her practical autocracy. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that America 'fought the war to free all nations from the yoke of their oppressors and repeatedly proclaim ed to the world that this high Ideal ..was the" object to be attained by her sacrifices, our representatives In the Peace Conference will not speak out for the independence of the Irish republic. Instead of acting as the protagonists of liberty and justice, as America expected, they were helping Lloyd George and England, whose .schemes are not being put forward for America's benefit. torlng of these great advantages now enjoyed by us, but perhaps it Is only seen as such in the light of the President's explanations. GIVES GOOD RULES. The American Federation of La bor was wise and conservative throughout all its deliberations and It is cheering news that the radical delegates were decisively beaten when they contended (for Bolshevist and Socialist measures. Now that the great wor is over the abor problem contront the American people. will SHE IIM AX'S OUTBURST. The rabid anti-Catholic speech of Senator Shenpan, of Illinois, deliv ered in tlio 'Senate Friday, didn't seem to be taken seriously by the country at large, and pretty near all agree that his charges of Catho lic domination fell flat. In this re spect Editor Brisbane says: To comfort Senator Sherman, tell him that the chief power in the League of Nations will be the Brit ish Empire, owner of a fleet upon Which France and Italy will lely. That fleet will count more than votes. England will have six votes against one rote for the United States. The real power in the league will not be the Pope, .but the King of England. And before the King can put on his crown and call himself King and Emperor, the Archbishop administering the oath asks him: "Will you, to Uie utmost of your power, maintain, the laws of God, the true profession of the Gospel, and the PROTESTANT reformed religion established by law? And will you maintain and preserve In violably the settlement of the Church of England and the doc trine, worsnlp, discipline and gov ernment thereof, as by laws estab lished in England? And will you preserve unto the bishops and! clergy of England, and to- the churches therein, all such rights; and privileges as by law do or shall appertain to them, or any of them? The King answers solemnly, "All this I promise to do." Therefore back of the Protestant religion, and back of the "rights and privileges" of the Protestant bishops and clergy of England there are six votes in the league, and the entire English fleet That ought to let Senator Sherman sleep soundly as regards the immediate destruction of Pro-testantieui. In this tho welfare of the country Is Involved, and organized labor should Hvj up faithfully to all Its contracts. For example we cite the International Typographical. Union, which has always conoeded the em ployers the same rights demanded for its members. Last Saturday two warning notes were sounded In Chicago, which de serve tho careful consideration of every American trades unionist. William Howard Taft, speaking bo fore tho National Hardwood Lum ber Association, gave employers a "rule of four" for "minimizing la bor dispute3 and rendering them harmless." Here are the rules: "Recognize the right of collective bargaining among workers. "Support the honest, conservative elements In the trade unions. "Aid your employes to ibette. themselves. "Combat Bolshevism and I. V W.-ls"m uncompromisingly." Ex-President Taft said that his work on tho War Labor Board showed thfct a great number of la bor troubles could have been avoid ed merely by each side's making its position e'oar to the other. Warning that every strike or walkout In violation of the union agreement with the Government was "a nail in the coffin of collective bargaining," was voiced by Judge Samuel Alschuler during an Investi gation of labor difficulties in Chi cago packing plants. After hearing several union employes of Wilson & Co. explain their grievances he said: "Every time you men walk out, as you have done in the past to days, you are violating a contra between yoa and the Governme: ana giving unionism a DiacK ey You are embarrassing your officials In their efforts to carry out their agreement." The investigation was -started at the instance of certain packers who complained to the Judge that the union men were not living up to the wage and, working conditions award which he gave as arbitrator a year ago. Here are two men, not members of organized labor, giving good ad vice and rules that should be fol lowed, and which would go far to eliminate aU labor troubles. COmNG EVENTS.

"President Do Valera comes to America as the representative of the oldest nation In Europe, a nation whose mythology is equalled only by that of Greece; a nation that preached ard spread the light of Christianity throughout tho world when the ancestors of the present rulers ot Ireland were painting their bodies in the hills of Wales. President De Valera speaks for a nation at whose shores the Romans were halted. The Normans came and conquered England In one bat tlethe battle ot Hastings. They Invaded Ireland and finally, after 500 yea'rs ot fighting, they were as similated vind becamo, in the words of the historian, 'more Irish than the Irish themselves.' President De Valera voices the spirit tand soul of Gaelic Ireland. He asks no -paltry dole from England, in exchange for Ireland's God-given right to free dom. He has led Ireland out into the light of the noon-day sun and never again will she be driven back as u British shire.
