LARKIN'S RELEASE.

THE DUBLIN STRIKE. GOVERNMENT’S TWO MISTAKES. [By Electric Telegraph—CopyrightJ [United Press Association.] (Received 9.15 a.m.) London. November 13. Larkin was released from Mount Joy prison this morning. Crowds cheered and carried him shoulder high to Liberty Hall, where he had a gieat reception. Larkin immediately issued instructions to the docks. In a later speech, he said everyone who had resumed work while he was in prison must strike again. They were going to win. He had already beaten the strongest Government of modern times. The Government had made a great mistake in imprisoning him, and a greater mistake in releasing him. He was going to England to raise a fiery cross, and there would he a general strike in the United Kingdom in a few hours. THE STARVING POOR. London, November 13. Eighty thousand women and children at Dublin are in a grievous plight, owing to insufficient foot and clothing and the approaching winter.

“A TACTICAL BLUNDER.”

(Received 8.0 a.m.) London, November 13

The Times, in a/leader, says that Larkin’s imprisonment- is one of the greatest tactical blunders ever known, interpreting as inevitable that he was prosecuted not for talking sedition but for being a successful agitator.

APPEAL TO THE NATIONALISTS.

(Received 10.15 a.m.) London] November 13. The Westminster Gazette makes a strong appeal to the Nationalist leaders to assist in a settlement cf the Dublin strike. Final success in the Home Rule movement, the paper states, is dependent on the support of the working class in Britain, and it is obvious if the workers here feel they must choose between labor and Home Rule, they will give labor the first place.

“HUM DR UM RESPECTABILITY.’

(Received 11.40 a.m.)

London, November 13. The sum of £53,000 has been subscribed for the relief in Dublin. Larkin, continuing bis address, slaid Lord Aberdeen must go, as be was a tool in the hands of unscrupulous Dublin capitalists: The only friends of Dublin were the working classes of Britain.

Miss Asquith, iu opening a bazaar at Brixton, rejoiced at Larkin’s release, because sedition was rather a mediavel offence, especially as Sir Edward Carson’s law-abiding modern methods bad shorn it of all glamour and lowered it to a humdrum respectability.
