IRISH PEASANTS FACING PLAGUE THRU STARVATION New York Famine Meet Next Wednesday NEW YORK, April 13.—The situa- tion in Ireland is getting worse. The ¥armers’ Association says that “80 per cent of the cattle have died, all the sheep are dead, the people are starv- ing. They have not had fire for plague.

Federated Press India Editor A slump of more than 1 per cent in I] ois factory employment between February and March follows the collapse of wheat prices and the break in the stock market as an indication that the Coolidge boom was a false alarm. Republican prosperity fails to relieve the chronic unemployment arising from basic economic maladjustments which it will not touch. The March report of the Illinois department of labor follows that from New York state which found no well defined evidence of continued industrial improvement. York leaves 82,000 out of work who had jobs a year ago. Begins Early This Year. The break in Illinois comes a month earlier than in 1924 when factory em; ployment held steady from February to March and started downhill in April.

When the Russian workers and peasants starved in 1921 owing to the failure of the crops, the cause was attributed to the Soviet regime, In Treland, with its capitalist government under the tutelage of British imperial- igm, there are 750,000 starving men, women and children. The workers of New York should know the truth about the situation.

Mining in Great Depression. Suspension of Illinois mining opera- tions on a broad scale accompanied the decline in factory employment. The department points out that as there are practically no other indus- tries in the mining districts a consid- erable section of the state is under severe depression. Latest reports from southern Illinois state that in Franklin, Williamson and Saline counties, constituting the lead- ing coal flelds of the middle west, only 9 out of 64 mines are working and most of those on part-time.

While the graft was heavy and the pickings were good all the lieutenant grafters could be sat- isfied and only the few leading crooks focked horns. But the morons who turned over their ten spots to the confidence men in the early days are now sobering up and are spending their spare kale on spirits of ammonia rather than on pillowcases and second hand underwear. The result is that the klan leaders are venting their chagrin on “pure woomanhood” like the grand dragon of the Indiana ku klux klan, who raped and poisoned a young girl, or else are lifiting the lid off the cess pool in court as is the case in the new Simmons case in At- lanta.
