®ubiin,
April 20th.—Little
hope
for
tangible results ® the
directicn
of peace
was expressed
on
resumption
today
of
the peace
conference
between
the
Free
Staters
and
Republicans,
although Lora
Mayor O’Neil and Arehbishop Byrne have
exerted
themselves
te the
utmost,
since
the
adjournment
last
week,
to kring
about
an
understanding.
The
public,
is
generally
skeptical
of
results,
aud
therefore
is showing little interest
in the
meeting at the Mansion House.
Thedprd
Mayor, while expressing
in
a
statement
yesterday
the hope that peacemight
core
in the
near future,
refrained
from
pre-
dicting that it would
be
achieved
at the
conference,
and added.
that
should
the
meeting
fail,
an
early
combination
of
the
forces
of capital and
labour
mighe
be looked for in
an
offort to
obtain
or-
der.
Labour
leaders
are
reported
to
have
been
conferring
for
the
last
few
days
with
both
the
heads
of
the
Pro-
visional Government
and
the Republiean
:
and
may
be represented
at
today’s
meet-
ing although it is
not
certain.
It seems
considerably
in
doubt
however
whether
labour would
combine
