ISED TO PRESIDENT,
LONDON HEARS
London, June 4. The Daily
News prints the following from an
Irish correspondent:
"There has been a vast amount
of speculation regarding the inten
tions of the Government toward Ire
land, and the prevailing idea is that
the Government "intends to embark
on a larger policy of repression .
"I have reason to know from an
authority of very high standing in
regard to Irish politics, but whose
name I am not in a position to dis
close, that the prospect of a large
measure of reform for Ireland 18
very bright.
"As i. return for his attitude witn
regard to the claim of Ireland to be
heard at the Peace Conference, th-
authority to whom I allude states
that President Wilson, has obtain
ed a very definite undertaking lrom
the Prime Minister that a wide
measure of reform for Ireland will
at once be taken in hand."

AND BOLSHEVEKI AT
CONVENTION
Atlantic eity, N. J., June 4. John
Donlin of Chicago, the official lead
er of 750,0D0 Workers, today de
nounced bomb throwers and Bolshe
vism in his annual address before
the International Building Trades
Federation, of which he Is the Na
tional president. The organization
today began sessions preliminary
to the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor,
which is expected to formulate here
a reconstruction policy. The Am
erican Federation's convention will
begin next Monday with Samuel
Gompers in the chair. Federation's
chiefs early on the ground decried
talk of an insurgent movement to
oust Mr. Gompers.
"They may start something of
that sort, but they will never suc
ceed," sa'id William J . Spencer of
Washington, National Secretary of
the Building Trades Department.
"Gompers' today: is stronger than he
ever has been. Unionism -under the
spur of Gompers's close relations
with the Government gained 2,000,
000 during the war.'
Leaders today told the cancella
tion of cards of union workers in
Akron, O., and other cities who, in
union investigations, were tried
and found guilty or spreading the
creed of the Soviets and other rad
icals. In some cases agents of the
Department of Justice were called
on to-furnish the information re
quired to convict the accused of un-
Ameriyan conduct
WASHINGTON, June 4. With
the newly appointed chief of the
Bureau of Investigation, William J.
Flynn, former head of the Secret
Service directing the case, the De
partment of Justice dragnet for the
Reds responsible for the bomb at
tacks, on the homes of Attorney
General Palmer and other officials
throughout the country was rapidly
being spread today in the most de
termined war on anarchy the
Government has ever undertaken.
Chief Flynn was in conference with
Major Raymond Putman, chief of
police of Washington, Department
i of Justice officials, and others
gaged on the case, went over the
evidence at Police Headquarters
and visited the scene
at Mr. Palmer's house. Chief
Flynn then left for Washington, but
it was not desired that his destina
tion become known . That there
will be no intereference with him
in his conduct of the hunt for the
anarachists.
Major Pulln an is Worlkng in full
harmony with Chief Flynn in that
part of the investigation which is
being made uner the auspices of
the local police, and agents of the
secret service of the Treasury De
partment, which Is under the direc
tion of William H. Moran, have
been instructed to co-operate in ev
ery way with the bureau of investi
gation of the department of Justice.
Chief Flynn will have at his com
mand all the crime-detecting agen
cies of the Government. While these
re under the jurisdiction of the de
partments, of Justice, Post office de
partment, Treasury, War and
Navy, and each has its own function
and jurisdiction, Chief Flynn is
looked to as the leader of the cam
paign against anarchy.
Two of the best detectives of the
Bomb Souad of the New York City
Police, who are familiar with the
way of anarchists, particularly the
Italian Anarchists of the Metropoli
tan district, came to Washington
this morning for conferences with
Federal and police officials in con
nection with the case. They are Jo
seph Correli and Anthony Polignam'i.
It was Polignani who bared the An
archist plot some time ago to blow
up St. Patrick's Cathedral in New
York.
The men responsible for the at
tempt to destroy the Cathedral were
traced and arrested by Polignani and
tried before Judge Knott, whose
house in New York City was the
scene of a bomb attack the same
night that the bomb was exploded
in front of Attorney General Pal
mer's house and it is suspected that
the men who made the attack on
the Judge's residence were affiliated
with those he sentenced .
Detectives Correli and Polignani
brough with them copies of the same
kind of pink dodger, headed 'Plain
Talk" and signed "The Anarchistic
Fighters, which was found in front
of Attorney General Palmer's house
pnd whose use in different cities con
vinced the"authorities that all the
bomb attacks this week were under
taken by men in an organized con
spiracy. They also brought a port
folio containing numerous finger
prints and photographs of danger
ous anarchists and radicals.
The New York experts were in
conference for some time with Ma
jor Pullman and Chief Inspector
Grant, and after examining the ef
fects of the' man who was killed by
the bomb which exploded In Vront
of the Palmer House, they went to
the Borgue to view the remains of
the man. The New Yorkers expAss-

WOULD HOLD TROOPS
OF ALLIES IN RUSSIA
New York, June 6. Prof. N. A.
Borodin, who was a member of the
Russian Extraordinary Mission to
the United States in 1917, and who
recently arrived from Siberia as a
representative of the Omsk govern
ment, yesterday, outlined in a state
ment, the needs of the provisional
government under Admiral Kolchak
in supplies, troops and diplomatic
and financial support. He strongly
opposed the withdrawal of allied
troops from Russia.
"The allied forces in Murmansk,
Archangle, on the shores of the
topol, Kerch and Novorossiysk," he
said, "are bound to take a much
of the crimeJmore important and active part in
the fight against Bolshevism, which
is threatening Europe.
"The plans to withdraw the allied
troops from Northern Russia and to
evacuate Odessa are detrimental to
the campaign against the Bolshevik i
It means first of all, the transfer in
to the hands of civilization of enor
mous Russia and allied military and
strategic resources (Archangelsk.
Murmansk). It means also the
surrender of important bases acces
sible to war vessels. In this in
stance, the help of France, England
and America is earnesly needed, in
the sense that their naval units
should occupy and hold these ports,
and with the aid of the troops of
Generals- Udenitch and Maynard,
take Petrograd.

New York June 6. Employees of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, who joined the telegraphers
union on the assurance of the Postmaster-General
that there would be
no discrimination of employees join
ing unions will not be taken back
if they strike, Newcomb Carlton,
President of the company announced
today. He pointed out that the Post
master General now had turned the
Western Unions over to the Company
"to operate as we think best for the
interest of the business."
Immediately after Mr. Burleson's
order was issued last night the
President of the telegraphers' un
ion ordered a strike of members of
the union employed by the Western
Union Telegraph Company in the
ten southern states and reports from
the chief cities in that territoy
showed that scores of operators, as
well as some clerks and messengers,
have quit their posts. Officials of
the Company at Atlanta said that
with the wires again under com
pany operation there would be a
finish fight while those of the union
intimated that if necessary a nation
wide strike would be called.
Washington, June 6. Postmaster
General Burleson's order abolishing
the fire control board in New York
and restoring the operation of the
telephone and telegraph properries
to officials of the companies, acting
as agents of the Government was
attacked today by members of con
gress, one of whom said that Mr"
uurieson has "psed the buck"
because of the threatened nation
wide strike of members of the com
mercial telegraphic union of Amer
ica.
Washington, June 5. Postmast
er General Burleson today issued an
order returning the telephone and
telegraph systems of the country to
private ownership, effective imme
diately. In a statement accompany
ing the formal order, the Postmaster
General declared that the existing
rates would remain in effect and
that orders forbidding discharge of
employees because of union affilia
tions also would stand.
"The President having lecom
mended the return of the wire sys
tems and the control of the owning
companies with certain legislation
designed to stabilize their opera
tion,' Mr. Burleson said, "and the
benaie committee having taken ac
tion looking to their immediate re
turn, ana the House committee in
its hearings on the proposed legisla
tion having indicated concurrence
in the suggestion of immediate re
turn with or without legislation so
recommended, I feel it my duty to
now return the actual control of op
erations to the companies.
Some days ago I directed the nec
essary orders to be prepared t ac
complish this and have today issued
same. These orders do not affect
questions of rates and finance with
which the Congress may determine
to deal. The rates now in force and
the financial relations between the
government and the companies, and
the order of October 2, 1918, pro
hibiting discrimination because of
union affiliations, will continue un
less the Congiess In its wisdom may
decide to change them or the "emer
gency" is terminated by the procla
mation of peace.
"By the action now taken, how
ever, the wire companies resume ac
tual control of operations of their
respective property, and are free to
formulate and put into effect their
own policies unrestricted by gov
ernment control, which is to continue
in any case but a few weeks, and
thus will be able to prepare them
selves for a complete resumption of
the management of their property.
It will be necessary for each com
pany to so keep its accounts during
the continuance of government con
trol that its books may be closed on

SUFFRAGE WINS IN SENATE
NOW GOES TO STATES
Constitutional Amendment Is Pas
sed, 56 to 585, or. Two More
than two-thirds.
Washington, June 4. After a
long and persistent fight advocates
of woman suffrage won a victory
in the Senate today when that body,
by a vote of 56 to 25, adopted the
Susan Anthony Amendment to the
Constitution. The suffrage support
ers had two more than the neces
sary two-thirds vote of Senators
present Had all the Senators known
to be in favor of suffrage been pres
ent the amendment would have
had 66 votes, or two more than
a two-thirds vote cf the entire Sen
ate, i )
The amendment having already
been passed by thw house, pharot
the vote was 304 to 89, now
to the States for ratification, whl
it will be passed upon in the fc
ground that I have committed ihe i in which it has been adopted
unpardonable 6'in of differing with
my military superiors."
Colonel Ansell spoke here at 2
o'i lock this afternoon instead of to
night, as scheduled, on account of
orders to leave tor Washington.
Sudden change in the time for of
his address was not announced
until one o'cloch, but did not pre
vent a large crowd, among whom
were proDaDiy a Hundred personp
from his native county of Curri
tuck, from hearing the distinguished
visitor. He paid high tribute to
Professor Sheep, Superintendent
of the school, here, and to Ezekiel
Gilmer, Harvard graduate, who gave
his life to the teaching in Currituck
county.
Referring to boyhood days in Cur
rituck county, Colonel Ansell said
that "tender recollections impelled
your calling me and my coming."
Loved scenes, loved friends, some
gone never to return, many present,
all recalled pleasant memories.'
the day government control ends in
order that a full and accurate state
ment may be promptly made when
it is called on for same."
The order issued by the Postmast
er General abolishes the wire operat
ing board, of which Union N. Bethel,
of New York, is chairman, but the
wire control board, consisting of
John A. Koons, first assistant Post
master General; W. H. Lamar and
the statistical and legal staff, will
continue to exercise the control re
tained by the order until the govern
ment's connection with the wire
systems is ended.
Contracts for compensation and
awards by State commissions remain
in effect under the order as well as
the increased toll rates, service con
nection charges and special ex
change rates recently authorized by
the Postmaster General. Special ar
rangements are provided for com
pensating mutual and cooperative
companies.
Members of Congress who have
been interested in wire control, es
pecially members of the Senate and
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittees expressed great surprise
when they learned of the Postmaster
Geeral's action. Congressional
leaders had been proceeding on the
theory that no action would be taken
toward return of the wires in any
respect until legislation had "been en
acted.
