30 MCDONALD DAL FOR WORLD PEAGE Resolution Before Labor Party Demands Britain Sign General Arbitration Pact. By the Associated Press. | BIRMINGHAM, England, October 2.| ~—Ramsay MacDonald, former premier, presented a comprehensive resolution | on world peace and disarmament at the Labor party congress today. The reso- lution demanded that the government a general act of arbitration, that the Anglo-French naval agreement be abandoned, that an effective disarma- ment treaty be signed and that all foreign troops be unconditionally with- drawn from the Rhineland. Mr. MacDonald called his proposal # “full-blooded, unqualified condemna- tion of the government's foreign policy.” Sir Oswald Mosley in seconding the | resolution said the American note on ! the Anglo-French accord was the great- | est_rebuke which any country has ever addressed to another on its record of | muddle and tragedy. After several speeches in favor of | the resolution it was adopted. | Comdr. Kenworthy, Labor member of | Parliament, who was on the admiralty | war staff in 1917,in a supporting speech | said Europe was headed for the same | tragedy that occurred in 1914. He con- | tinued: | “The danger of war between this | country and America and hbetween France and Italy is as real as was the danger of war between this country and Germany in 1906. You have again the unofficial, but nevertheless binding, conversations between staffs in Paris and staffs in London.” TEXTILE UNIONS VOTE AGAINST WAGE CUT Compromise Accepted by Manufac- turers in Strike Is Disapproved, 4 to 3, in Light Ballot. By the Associated Press. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., October 2.— Four out of seven unions composing the New Bedford Textile Council yes- terday voted to reject the 5 per cent wage cut urged as a compromise by the State Board of Conciliation and Arbi- tration and the citizens’ mediation committee, which had been accepted by the Manufacturers' Association. ‘The total number of union operatives voting today was much below the number that voted overwhelmingly in favor of the strike last April 12. The total vote of the weavers was less than | § 67 per cent of the vote that called the strike, the loom fixers mustering less than 62 per cent of the total vote on the previous occasion. The small vote is accounted for to some extent by the fact that a number of skilled oper- atives have left the city for employ- ment in other textile centers. After almost a two-hour session, at which the delegates to the textile coun- cil heard the results of the voting, Sec- retary Batty issued a formal statement announcing their confidence in the strike committee. Continuance of relief measures, he mid, was left to the committee, e G. A. R. CHANGES SEEN. Commander Wishes Headquarters at Broken Bow, Nebr.

Irish Flee From Gaelic. ‘That the Irish are fleeing from the Gaelic-speaking district of Connemara to America, and that “their only ambi- tion was to reach the United States” ‘was reported to the Gaelic League when it met at Dublin recently. The report was made by the Rev. McBrennan of | Stokestown, who had just returned from the Connemara district. The conference passed a resolution asking the Free State government to give effect to the full re- port o fthe Gaeltacht commission, which, it is said, would make the Irish-speak- Ing district a virtual reservation.
