There werc also thousands of visitors from the surrounding towns and villages, including many from Belfast who came by a special train. Mr. Collins had a.sort of triumphal| progress from Dublin, receptions being arranged for him at Dundalk, Castle- Blayney, Keady before he entered Armagh accompanied by Harry J. Bo- land, secretary to Eamon De Valera, and Sean Milroy, chairman of the Sinn Fein Clubs or Armagh. One of his officers wore a Sam Browne Belt in which was a loaded revolver. Collins -an Emphatic Speaker. Mr. Collins proved a most emphatic speaker both in Irish and English and is somewhat reminiscent of Theodore Roosevelt when he brings his jaws to- gether, but speaks without a single ges- ture. He kept his audience entranced for nearly an hour as he denounced the par- tition of Ireland and appealed to Armagh to follow Tyrone and Fermanagh in de- nouncing allegiance to the northern par- liament, thus “striking the last blow against English control of Ireland.” He touched very gingerly upon the peace negotiations, explaining that at the present moment he must choose his words. “England.” he said, “is handing out parliaments like Carnegie gave away libraries; they are the sort of medicine which cures meither. the north nor the south.” It was obvious from Mr. Lloyd George's letters, he declared, that the northern parliament was being used s an excusé to keep the north and the souti asunder, but the Orangemen, who had been used as tools, might find that they stood in tha way of an agreement which was in Eng]a:,du interest, and then they would be thrown aside. “Freedom for Ireland is coming; no- body ‘can stop it” he exclaimed. “Is Ulster, with her tottering parliament, go- ng to stay out? We say to our people there: ‘We won't desert you'." The commander of the Irish republican army had a great reception, and when he appeared the audience of 5,000 rose and sang the “Soldiers’ Song.” Referring to Mr. Lloyd George's “sneer” that more Welsh was talked in Wales than Irish in Ireland, he poiflted out that Ireiand had been speaking under a ban fér cen- turies, but now in Armagh alone 5,000 persons spoke the Irish language, and 10,000 were learning it. i Mr. Coflins denounced the .treatment of Sinn Feiners in the jails and intern- ment camps, especially ‘Spike Island, which, he said, had been a reception hos- pital for the most loathsome diseases of modern times before the Sinn Fein pris- oners were taken there. and he asked for an independent inquiry.

New York, Sept. 4J—Employment of a million men-~by the railroads of the United States would follow the pasage by congress of the Townsend-Winslow railroad funding bill, Eugene Mayer, Jr. aging director of the war finance o ration, asserted, today in-a state- ment in° which he considered means to remedy (M€ present unemployment prob- iem.

Day of the De- parment of Labor in Labor FedeanroopsAnmCompHeConhd—Amdmm Have Been Defying Local Authorities Are Rapidly Dis appearing—Soldiers Have Taken 181 Rifles, 80 Pistols and a Large Quantity of Ammunition, Day Statement. Washington, Sept. 4. — Secretary James J. Davis, of the Department of Labor, called upon everybody to work for the general good, in a Labor Day statement. He said in part: “This nation has become the great- est of all producing nations. It has become so great because it works—be- cause it always has worked. “Just now we are in the depths of a depression. Everybody is interested in the way out. And we have made up our minds that the way to prosperity is to work. Just now work is more important to us than anything else.” “Labor Day this year calls'everybody to work. And there never was a day when work—a new kind of work—was more plentiful ‘than it is in the day of widespread unemployment, as now. “The work to be done is to improve the present 'situation. And anybody can take a hand. “The business leader must work to start the wheels of industry going again, and bid “farewell to wartime profits. “The toiler must work among his kind, for the creation of a spirit willing to bid good-bye to' unreasonable de- mands.

The change in the cotton situation had caught most of the dealers in cotton and cotton goods witout sufficient stocks of goods, Mr. Meyer asserted, because of the bélief of an abnérmal surplus of those commodities. Resumption of the practice of carrying norma! stocks by manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and i |retailers was advocated as a matter of sound business and in the public inter- est. The existence of surpluses in oth- er commodities was also questions in the light of the recent cotton situation. “There are other important factors in “The banker must work, to provide credits for the re-establishment of business. The skilled engineer must work to cut down costs. “There is that kind of work for every man, woman and child in the country. ‘We all must labor to build up the old spirit of confidence in our people. “Labor Day used to be thought of only as Labor’s Day. This year and from now on, it it Everybody's Day. “In these' stern tiries we have learned a new conception of work. ‘Work means something more to us than working for ourselves. We see that in order to prosper ourselves we must work for the general good® for the other fellow, for the millions of other fellows—which' means Our Country. “No man prospers unless his nation prospers with him. That is why Labor Day this year ‘takes on this new signi- ficance. Ths year it is no idie holi- day. It should be a day of dedication for everybody, for lhe good of the na- tion. the present situation that justify the hope of improving industrial conditions and a fuller employment of labor,” he added. “I refer first to the distinct tendency toward easier money condi- tions and the prospect of early action by the congress on the tax bill now un- der consideration by the senate com- mittee on finance. “With improving monmey markets and the carrying out of the program on tax revision we may look forward to funds becoming available on such a reason- able basis as to encourage the hove that there may be an adequate supply of funds for public utilities for indus- trial ‘plant expansion where this may prove to be needed and especially for the housing needs of the country. The revival of _the building industry would put more men to work than the revival of any other one industry. “To sum up, I believe the possibility of meeting the unemploymént situation oromptly and effectively lies in the Te- vival ©of those fundamental and essen; tial activities which involve large quan® tities of raw and finished - materials, transportation and labor in construc- tion.” STATISTICS SHOW SLIGHT DECREASE OF UNEMPLOYED ‘Washington, Sept. 4.—An increase of 1.08 per cent, in the number of persons employed in. sixty-five principal indus- trial centers in August as compared wita July was shown by statistics made public today by the department of labor. The figures were taken from the payrolls of 1,428 firms, each usuajly employing five hundred or more persons, Industrial classifications showed ml increases occurred in the number em- ployed in food and food* products, tex- tiles andtheir products, iron and steel, leather and its fnished products, stone clay and glass products, metals and pro- ducts other than iron and steel, tobacco manufactures and railroad repair shops.

While it is -true that the country has “at last definitely setout .on the long. uphill climb to normal ~conflitlom," the statement said, “it would be a mistake’ to imbue the figures with a significance not strictly in ‘accordance with facts.

INSANE BOSTON LABORER Boston, Sept. 4.—Six persons were wounded, two seriously, by Philip Do- 1an, a laborer, who became violently in- sane today and held 100 policemen, fire- men and civilians at bay for two hours before being subdued. He was armed With a butcher's knife and an iron bar. Although wounded in_the side by one ©f the sixteen bullets fired at him and deluged with a two-inch stream of wa- ter from a firehose, he held a room in his home in South Boston against all comers until ‘one of the policemen knocked him’ senseless with a blow on the head. He was taken to the Psycho- Dathic hospital where it was said his wounds were not serious. Police Sergeant Daniel Toomey sus- tained a severed artery in the head from the knife and Thomas J. O'Don- nmell, a disabled World war veteran, was stabbed in the chest. They are expect- ed to recover. Burton W. Mullins, a patrolman, was badly hurt when Dolan hit him on the head with a milk bottle. Dolan has had hallucinations - for vears,” his wife told the police. She sald that he had: been confined for a time on Ward's Island, N. Y. When the police arrived Dolan was ‘brandishing his knife at the head of the stairs. Shots were fired in the air and Mullen ascended the stairs to try to cajole the man into surrendering. The bottle came down on his head and he was rushed to a hospital. A platoon of firemen was called while a crowd attracted by the shouts and Shots’ gathered in the street. A well directed’ stream of water forced Dolan into a corner where a blow from a club Xknocked. him out. . The interior of the house was wreck- ed and the cellar was flooded.

P.)—Fighting between armed bands and Logan County authorities along the Boone-Logan County lines has ceased. said Colonel C. A. Martin, commander troops in the Little Coal River Valley, after a tour of inspec- tion today. Wihen he returned to Madison, the Colonel made the following statement: “All fighting has stopped and there are few miners left in the region.” Colonel Martin added that soldiers of the 19th infantry had displaced all armed men on the Boone County side and in the narrow strip of Logan Coun- ty on the east side of Spruce Fork Ridge, while troops moving forward from Logan had replaced state police, county deputies and volunteers on the summit and western slopes of the ridge. Contaet between the occupying forces on either side had been established, he said. Colonel Martin said he was told by some of the men that there were a num- ber of bodies and some wounded in the hills. He announced that a searching party of soldiers would be sent to in- vestigate tomorrow. Shortly after the eolonel's return a special train comprising eight coaches carrying founr hundred men arrived here from the Spruce Fork Ridge region. Despite the fact that they had been warned before leaving the hills that they would be searched when they ar- rived in Madison, 151 rifies, 80 pistols and a large quantity of ammunition was taken from them here, officers who ecn- ducted the search sald. As a number of the men were unarm- ed when they assembled for the jour- ney here, soldiers tomorrow will be sent into the hills to look for rifyes and am- munition whi¢h the military authorities believe may have been cached, CONVENTION OF NEW ENGLAND HEBREW 'ASS'N Hartford, Sept. 4.—A resolution ap- proving of Americanization and citizen- ship work among Jews under the aus- pices of the Jewish Welfare Board was adopted today at the convention of the New England Associated Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Associa- tion.s.
