rhe

denied
the charge
that be had done

workers
of Beltfast.
He
said
loyalist
workers
had
admitted
the
principle
of
reinstating
Catholics
when
trade had revived,
but
there
were
67,000
men
unemployed.
““I'ne
whole

he said,
'‘since the
revelation of predatory
attacks being

tempted

area.
I cannot

Alluding
to
the conference
to be held
in l.ondon
to-
morrow,
Sir
James
Craig
said
his de-
sire
was
to
create
a
helpful
and
nota
destructive
meeting.
He
expressed
ar
earnest
wish
that
at
the
eleventh
hour
vindic.iveness
and
hatred
would
give
way
(v
a reasonable
sense
oi protection
leading
to peace.
The
Premier
reiter-
ated
that the South of Ireland was send-
ing men with bombs
and
arms
to create
unrest
in
the
North,
and
if
possible,
the
same
surrender
as
.in
the
South.
He
declared
the
Ulster
men
were
not
up
against

Catholics

mies of the Empire.
Dublin,
March
23th.—As
a
eounter
move
to
the threat of Richard
Muleahy,
the
Dail’ Bireann
Minister
of Defence,
that all
persons
who
attended
Sunday’s
Convention
under
the auspicies
of a
sec-
tion
of
the
Irish
Republican
Army,
would be
suspended
from the
army,
the
Execative
Council,
elected
by
the
con-
venticn,
has
issued
to
all
units
of
the
army
an
order denying
the
Minister
of
Defence
and
his Chief
of Staff any
con-
trol
of the
Army.
The
order
deciares
that Muleahy and his
Chief of Staff have
pursued
a policy
calculated
to
subvert
the
republic,
and
that
the
Council,
by
virtue of the power
vested
in it is taking
the present
action.
The
Council further
o-ders
that a!l those serving
in the paid
army,
which is
intended
as the
nucieus
oi the Free State
Army, and in the civic
giaards,
whiehis the nucleus
of the
fut-
ure police
force,
mav . return
forthwith
to their
respective
lrish
Republic
Army
units,
and
that rcecuiting
for the:e
bod-
ies
must
cease.
This is looked
uapon
in
Dublin as marking
the final break
in the
army,
and it
is beiieved
there
that the
future
depends
largely
upon
which
side
has
the majority of snldiers.
