London, October 4
Larkin has quarrelled with the Hibernian Order at Dublin. A campaign of vituperation unparalleled in the annals of Irish politics is proceeding. Larkin interprets the motto "Faith and Fatherland" to mean faith in the order's own ability to procure all jobs in the Fatherland. The Hibernians describe Larkin as an atheist and anarchist.
THE IRISH WORKER.
(Received 9.10 a.m.)
London, October o
Mr Murphy, chairman of the Dublin Tramways, accused Larkin's paper, the Irish Worker, of inciting to murder. There had been more strikes since Larkin's advent than in the whole in dustrial history of the city. Mr Larkin, in giving evidence, heat edly described- the conditions of life in Dublin, including the statement that 21,000 families lived in one-room ed tenements. "Christ," he said "was not going to be crucified in Dub lin by the masters any longer. If the men were forced back to work afte' a long and weary struggle, the time would come when they would breal the bonds and give blow for blow."
