SINN FEIN AND
BRITISH FIGHT
FOR RAILWAYS
DUBLIN, Aug. 11 (by Associated
Press).—The Irish railway situation
apparently has resolved itself into a
#»ntest between the government and
Sinn Fein, and all the moves on each
side are calculated from that point of
view.
If there is to be a general stoppage
of all traffic each side is determined
to make the other responsible for it,
and there will be an argument as to
whether it is a strike or a lockout.
The government has been accumulat
ing transport, and has no difficulty in
conveying any quantity of guns and
munitions to any part of Ireland. It
has therefore not chosen to force the
pace by tendering munitions for the
Irish goods trains, which on the re
fusal of the railway men to handle
them would have meant depriving
Ireland of many of the necessities of
life.
The trouble which has occurred has
been solely on the passenger trains
and has been mainly concerned with
the carriage of small parties of police
men or of troops who are being used
as supplementary to the police. At
first when the railwaymen refused to j
carry them the soldiers or nolice took
it calmly and returned to their bar
racks. Later on the government is
sued an order that the soldiers or the
police should sit tight in the railway
carriages and insist on being carried
and were also directed to present
themselves at the next train starting
for their destination.
Hence a series of spasmodic hold
ups of trains all over the country
which cannot be relieved until the
police decide to withdraw. Wherever
the police insist on being carried the
trains cease to run to that station,
and the railwaymen responsible are
dismissed. But the passenger trains
which do not stop at that station are
^ unaffected, and run through as usual.
On the midland line this has meant
that trains from Dublin cannot get
past Athenry and Castlerea, while
trains up to Dublin still run.

starting from Dublin convey the train
as far as the point where the police
*w3it to get on. They refuse to go
any further, and there is a regular
daily list of dismissals.
How small on the whole is the
trouble so far may be estimated from
the fact that the total dismissals after
three weeks or a month’s conflict
is less than 60 on .all the lines in Ire
land. Business has suffered but
slightly. The situation may be re
lieved any day by a decision of the
government to send their men by
motor. That would be hailed however
as a victory for Sinn Fein.
The Irish judges who are now go
Tfcg oat to hold the assizes have de
cided to travel by motor. Usually
they go by train accompanied by an
armed guard of honor. If thev went
by train with the guard they would
not be allowed to leave the terminus.
If they went without the guard it
would be acknowledging the Sinn
Fein power, and they would be liable
to be held up like any other passen
gers at any station where police
wanted to come aboard.
So they go by motor. The barristers i
in many cases are doing the same
thing, and as a special concession to
the difficulties of the time have ob
tained permission to appear in court
without their wigs and gowns which
are usually carried by the bar atten
dants by passenger trains now liable
to incalculable delay. The dispute
is not at all a trades union matter,
and no union can now control it. The
funds for the support of the dismissed ,
men come mainly from Sinn Fein
sympathizers.
There is no likelihood that the rail
way men will yield but even if they
wished to do so Sinn Fein would not
let them. Sinn Fein, for example,
thinks that petrol for the air force is
a munition of war. The railwaymen
did not think that, and had conveyed
three thousand gallons to Mullinger,
enroute for air forces at Oranmore.
At Mullingar the train was boarded
by an armed party who refused to
allow it to proceed with the pertol.
They took the petrol out of the train
carried it to the embankment and
spilled out the lot. It is regarded as
an interesting sidelight on military
administration that the authorities had
taken no precautions whatever to
guard against the risk and had left
the petrol to travel without a guard.

TEACHERS LACKING
AND SCHOOLS IDLE
EDMONTON, Alta., Aug. 11 (by As
sociated Press).—Due to lack of teach
ers and to certain conditions obtaining
in various districts, 75 schools in this
province are not operating. In some
cases the school district is too much
divided by rivers over which there are
no bridges, and in others there is a
lack of boarding places or for other
reasons it is impracticable to send a
teacher.
