Irish sympathizera.today replied to the warning sounded yesterday by J. H. Thomas, British labor leader, that organized labor of America could not solve the Irish question by introduc- ing resolutions demanding action on the part of the convention supporting the Irish republie. 3 > Failing fo get recoghition in the resolution drafted by the committee apponited by a mass meefing of Irish sympathizers, representatives of the Irish republic presented two resolu- tions demanding boycott of English mad: goods and concerns in this country by American workers. The boycott resolutoins, presented by T. J. Vind, secretary of the labor bureau of the American commission on Irish independence, have caused the split among the Irish sympa- thizers to widen. They are reported 10 have been drawn by “high officials of the Irish republic,’ but they failed to get the support of the dele- gates who signed the resolution drafted by a commission of Irish sympathizers. . Demands of Resolution. The resolution presented by Peter J.

The Focht bill, ‘authorising ext sion of 14th street, which is identical With Senate bill 1586, introduced by Senator Ball, provides that when it shall be opened to traffic to the south boundary of the hospital grounds, the «control and jurisdietion of that por- tion of the street within the grounds shall immediately pass to the Com- missioners of the District, the grade throuzh the grounds, however, to be subject to the approval of the Secre- tary of War. & Expect Large Attendance. Tnasmuch as several citizens' asso- ciations have gone on record favoring extension of 14th street through the hospital grounds te the District line, | the it is expected the hearing to be con- ducted by the highway commission will attract a lai attendance. All persons_interested are invited to at- tend.. The commission prefers thst views be presented in writing, and that 3 copy-be furnished it for use in rreparing its report, but oral siate- ments also will be welcomed. Members of the Maryland delegation in Congress are manifesting much inter- est in. the proposal to close 14th street, believing that such action would retard seriously development of that section of Maryland adjoining the District on_the north. Residents of Takoma Park, Md., have signed a petition protesting against the proposed closing of the street, which Senatar Weller and’ Representative Zihl- man of Maryland will present to the Senafe and House District committee: Citizens Adopt Report. its former position, the nth Street Heights Citizens’ Asso- ciation last night unanimously protested against any action by Congress which would stop 14th street at its peint of intersection with the hospital reserva- tion. A report from a special commit- tee, headed by S. D. Grove, was adopted. It says, in part: “The said bill (providing for clesing all streeta,-including 14th street, in the Walter Reed Hospital grounds) among other things calis for the clo: ing of that portion of 14th street now Iying hetwéen Aluaka avenue on the north .and the present Walter Reed Hospital grounds on the south. Thia ac it taken would cut off all of the strests entering the city from the north of 6th street and Georgia a nue. Congress has recently taken ac- tion to eniarge the hospital grounds to the north and the said land is now in the process of being taken over by the United States government. Lying north of this land is the subdivision known as 16th Street road on the north, that is soon to be subdivided, comprising in all about nine hundred large lots suyitable :for and restricted to the erection ‘of de- tached houses of a good class. A large number of these lots have been sold to individuals for the purpose of erecting homes thereon, with the un- derstanding that 14th street was to be extended through the said sub- aiv:,slon m“lhh“thl::luelo‘fl‘l;‘." in ae- cordance wi e the perma~ nent system of M‘gl'm of the Dis- trict of Columbia, approved by act of Congress and referred te in Senate bill No. 1.588, for the extension of 14th street. Closing this section, therefore, would be a direct violation of the said plan and would cut off and isolate this large section and deprive prop- erty owners therein of the use of the said mection of 14th street and the use of the ear line we are informed, the Capital Trac- tion Company stands ready to extend as soon as 14th street is extended by act of Congress as provi for in the said Senate bill No. 1,5886. = Property Owners’ Rights. “The sald property owners are le- gally and in equity entitled te the use of both the street and car lines. Passage of the said bill 1576 in its present form would deprive them of these rights without any advan- tage" accruing. to anybody.” .In: fact, it would be a pesitive disadvantage to the hospital,. as the car line is necessary to thé comfort and ocon- venience of both the hospital per- sonnel and the visitors thereto, both of which will undoubtedly be largely increased by the proposed enlarge- ment of the hospital. “Passage of the bill in its present form would retard the growth and development of the section north of the hospital, while the extension of 14th street and the car line would soon result in the building up to its capacity limit of the sald section and a corresponding increase in tax- able value. “Concerning the second point of pro- test (against the passage of the bill at present in any form), jt may be sald that a large part of- the pre- posed addition to the hospital grounds has been involved in con- demnation proceedings for some time and may be involved in such litiga- tion for a long time in the future. It is also understood that an addi- tional appropriation by Congress will be necessary before the land can be taken over, as the property. owners have the right of possession until they receive their money. ‘A number of the property owners are now occupy- ent would, therefore, deprive these people of the right of ingress and egress to and from their homes to which they are by law entitled. “It is further of no advantage to the hospital to have these streets closed ‘prior to the acquiring by the Opposition to the Fitzgerald bill, providing for compulsory workmen's insurance, and Indorsement of a plan increase the annual leave of fire- men and policemen from. twenty to thirty days, with one day off' s week, and paymept of back. pensions: due men formerly in the departments, or their relatives, were features last night of the Flag day meeting of the Washington Chamber of Com- merce at the Willard Hotel.

It be- gins at home and in the spot we can call our. own. Sectional patriotiam is loyality to that part of the country in which we live—north, east. south or west—and national patriotism is that loyality which called the men of the country to fight for their country. “The United States at the present time, in my opinion, i8 more thor- oughly a unit in all its parts than has ever before been seen. ; Public Printer Makes Address.

Mr, Raymond asked permission to re- cord with the board reasons why the owners believed such action would be a grave error of judgment. Earlier in the day., New York locals of the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial As- sociation had agreed to ratify the pro- posed agreemert under protest, but called for resignation of National President s Mr. Raymond, in his telegram, said “A’ long record of defiant lawless- ness and attempted destruction of hu- man life and of government property by strikers should maKe it absolutely impossible for your board to take any such action as'is sald to be contem- plated.

The letter said, how- ever, they did not want to go on record favoring overtime work. FEmployes of the census burcau, M Libbey said, frequently work over- ce and might time. The employes of the bureau of stand- ards have taken no decided stand on the proposition, Mr. Libbey was teld today. A meetings of the employes was held yesterday, at which it was decided that, as most of the bureau’s employes are scientists, voluntary of- fer of overtime work was not neces- | sary.
