GLIMPSES OF THE
GREAT DUBLIN STRIKE
L
Speeches at the Albert Hall, London
by George Bernard Shaw and George
| Russell to protest against the in
human Treatment accorded to
|
the Striking Workingmen
of Dublin
I
Recently an enormous mass meeting
was held in London at the Albert Hall
to protest agaiust the inhuman treat
ment accorded to the striking workmen
of Dublin. Among others who spoke
were Mr. George Bernard Shaw and Mr.
George Russell. The addresses of both
men are thus reported by the London
Herald:
SPEECH OF MR GEORGE RUSSELL
Then came George Russell, one of the
greatest men Ireland has produced. It
is impossible to give anv true impression
of the literary and emotional beauty of
his speech.
I sytnd for the first time on a public
platform in this country. I come from
Dublin, where most extraordinary things
have been happening. Humanity, long
dumb there, has found a voice; it has its
prophet and its martyrs.
We no longer know people by the old i
signs and the old shams. People are to j
us either human or subhuman. The}- are
either on the side of those who are fight- j
ing for li u m a n conditions i n labor, o r j
they are with those who are trying to
degrade it and thurst it into the abyss,
Ah! but I forgot there has sprung up
a third party who are superhuman be
ings. (Laughter.) They have so little
concern for the body that they assert i t
is better for children to be starved than
to be moved from the Christian atmos
phere of the Dublin slums.
Dublin is the most Christian city in
these islands. Its tottering tenements
are holy. The spiritual atmosphere which
pervades them is ample compensation
for the diseases which are there and the
food which is not there. If any poor
parents think otherwise, and would send
their children for a little from that earth
ly paradise, they will find the docks and
j railway station barred by these super
j human beings and by the police, and
they are pitched headlong out of the
station, set upon and beaten, and their
children snatched from them. (Shame.)
A Dublin laborer has no rights in his
own children.
You see, if these children were, even
for a little time, out of the slums, they
would get discontented with their poor
homes, so a very holy man has said
!
Once getting full meals they might be so
inconsiderate as to ask fpr them all their
lives. They might destroy the interest
ing experiments carried on in Dublin for
generations, to find out how clossly hu-.
man beings can be packed together, o n
how little a human being can live, aud
what is the minimum wage liis employer
need pay him. James Larkin interrupted
these interesting experiments toward the
evolution of the underman, and he is i n
gaol.
SPEECH OF GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Mr. Shaw, who had a hearty reception
said :
I am an old Dublin Home Ruler like
Sir Edward Carson. Being an intelligent
Irishman I left Ireland at the age of 20.
I have not lived there since, and I don’t
intend to live there again. 1 am extreme-,
ly glad to hear that 20,000 families in
Dublin have one room to live in. In my
time there was no such luzury. There,
were often two families in one room, and
both families took in lodgers.
It has l^een said before this that child
ren are the safeguard of morality in
Dublin—that if yon took the children
out of some of the dwellings the adults
would misbehave themselves. (Laughter)
Don't laugh at that. It is a most appall
ing thing. I believe there have been
people in the last few days who have,
given that as a reason for not allowing
children to leave Dublin. Add to that
state of things the horror of a strike, the.
cessation of the weekly wage, and all
that it means. Imagine what kind of men
they must be who, seeing all this, thurst
the children back into that starvation
and misery.
Imagine something more horrible : a
Christian priest doing that. (Hisses.)
Xo! I don’t ask you to hiss. I am here
as a Dublin man to apologize to you for.
| the priests of Dublin.
1 should suggest you should arm your
selves with something that would put a
decisive stop to the proceedings of the
j police. I hope that observation will be
careful')’ reported. 1 should rather like,
to be prosecuted f o r sedition and have
an opportunity of explaining to the pubr.
lie exactly v^hat I mean by it.
