RAIDERS BUSY
AFTER. BRITISH BEER. {United Pr W 6 Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received this day at 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 14. The United Ireland party contests local elections on November 14. Tbe .party demands that the Government pay county councils one million sterling from the central fund in order to relieve payment of agricultural rates, because the economic war has destroyed farmers’ incomes. Raiders held up a goods train at Dundalk, menacing the station staff with revolvers. They removed two barrels of beer which were smashed with hammers. The raiders intended to destroy British beer, but one barrel was Irish beer.
The J.8.A., ignoring de Valera’s suggestion that the raids wcie morel\ playing into the hands of the British, is continuing a widespread campaign. After an orgy of bottle smashing, the publican is forced to sign a pledge that he will not sell British beer.
