railway men took possession of lo-
cal railways today and will run the
trains themselves tomorrow.
DUBLIN, Feb. 10.—(IT. P.)—Fight-
ing broke out today in Cladystrabane
and county Tyrone, between special
police and troops of the Irish repub-
lican army.
One constable was killed and at j
least one republican soldier serious-
ly wounded.
The battle was reported to be a
considerable one.
Eamon DeValera, ex-president of
the "Irish republic." will devote the
icmalnder of his life to work for an j
independent republic.
The Irish leader is convinced that
at least two-thirds of the people of I

He pointed out that the old Sinn

president, is still intact.
Owing to the severe blow dealt
to his plans by the adverse Dail
vote. DeValera has not yet been able
to definitely decide upon his move-
ments.
BELFAST, Fftb. 10.—(U.' P.)—
Three thousand Ulster volunteers,
bitter enemies of southern Irishmen,
today joined the force of 5,000 con-
stabulary patrolling the Ulster
frontier.
The Sinn Fein extremists who |f«-
raded Ulster, are still holding many
captives.
Sinn Fein extremists leaders
w hose forces are scattered along the
southern side of the Ulster border,
telegraphed to Michael Collins, head
of the southern provisional govern-
ment, that It was feared "Ulster men
would commit further outrages." re-
ferring to reprisal activities of the
unionists for the kidnapping of 200
northerners.
Collins telegraphed to London that
an attack by the Ulster men would
only be possible with the support of
British troops which would render
the situation most serious.
This report has created the worst
possible impression here and both
unionists and Sinn Feiners here fear
an outbreak.

An indication of the light with
which the Farmer-Labor Reconstruc-
tion League is regarded by old line
politicians was shown Friday when
George Wilson, state manager, de-
clared that numbers of them were
seeking to have the league endorse
them at Shawnee.
"Certain gentlemen who would have
luaghed at the Reconstruction league
several months ago have suddenly
become reconciled to the measures
proposed by that "organization, and
are trying to win the favors of Its
leaders," Wilson declared.
"We will not endorse one candi-
date at Shawnee until his record has
been examined and has been found
to be clean," Wilson declared. 'Some
of these candidates may eventually
receive endorsement, but they must
certainly present a clean bill, and
promise support of league measures
to the letter."
After Every Office.
Men for every office in the state
government will be endorsed at
Shawnee, Wilson said. Party lines
will not be followed necessarily,
though it is the intention to select
the strongest man in the dominant
party who will support the measures.
Delegates from each of the districts
will then meet at Shawnee, and put
their approval upon certain local
candidates. Besides this, thirty coun-
ties have declared that they will
meet for the purpose of endorsing
county candidates.
Much newspaper space is being de-
voted to the Farmer-Labor Recon-
struction League out in the "grass
roots," Wilson stated. A number of
papers have declared that they favor

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. A
great conspiracy against labor
is beiug engineered by big busi-
ness, Senator UiFollette d e-
to the senate in a
speech, warning that any legis-
lative reduction In wages of rail-
road workers would mean "uni-
versal disaster."

Another appointee of the governor, Attor-

All this is done in order to eliminate the
