DUBLIN. Sept. 19. (By U. P.) —
Faced with the choice between with-
drawing from their insistence upon
recognition as a sovereign state or
abandoning the conference upon
which the hope of peace for Ireland
rests, Sinn Fein s cabinet met with
President D'e Valera today.
Irelantl, hoping for peace and fa-
voring a conference despite the
technical difficulties, anxiously wait-
ed the decision.
Lloyd George's latest note received
yesterday, In which he explicitly in-
sisted De Valera must withdraw his
claim of recognition of a sovereign
state or forfeit the right to a con-
ference, added little to thfc advance-
ment of the Irish situation except
to further clarify the issues.
It was recognized there that the

LONDON, Sept. 19.—^By U. P.) —
The British press believed De Valera

harmonious expression of the cno^en

citizens of Oklahoma.

Presents a new Declaration of In-
dependence, a manifesto of civic

appeal to every patriotic citizen—
to those who love Oklahoma most,
and would make It the greatest,
freest, and the most prosperous state
In the Union—to those who demand
domestic peace and liberty and eco-
nomic security for those whose labor
is responsible for all of our social
and material progress.
This organization is not a political

CHICAGO, Sept. 19. - (By U. P.) —
Immediate danger of a railroad
strike had been averted today.
In spite of the fact that shop em-
ployes of the roads have voted over-
whelmingly against acceptance of
the 12 per cent slash In wages which
became effective July 1 on orders of
I the United States Railroad Labor
board, the decision has been reached
to hold up further action until the
board announces the new working
' rules now being formulated.
B. M. Jewel, head of the railroad
department of the American Eede a-
tion of Labor which includes the
federated shop crafts, made this • n-
nouncement at a mass meeting of
tail employes here yesterday.
According to Jewel another ballot
will be taken when the rules ire
announced and If the membership
votes against acceptance then a
fight will be waged before the 'ail-
road board. A strike will be called 1 punishment f
if necessary, Jewell stated. I rulej-or fnllur

bership within the empire as a basis
for negotiations."
The Daily Telegraph; "The prime
minister is clearly right in insisting

shall specifically be withdrawn be-
fore a conference is entered upon."
