London, November 14

Ten thousand people marched in proicession m Dublin and jubilated over

Larkin's releast

I .Mr Connolly, in a speech, said that Ino vessel should be allowed to leave i until ev.ery imprisoned striker was released. The striker,; must drill with la view to the next march through the ieity. He declared that competent {leaders had promised their services. I When thev wanted arms he knew

where to obtain them. Mi- Haveloek Wilson, interviewed at Liverpool, said that the sailors and firemen strongly protested against Mr Larkin's declaration of the fiery cross. "Wo are not." he said, "going to let Mr Larkin dictate whether we shall strike or not." N

Other labor leaders state that nothing is known of a general strike. The Right Hon. A. Birrell, speaking at Bristol, was greeted with prolonged suffragette disturbances -and cries of "Tell us about the hundred thousand starving in Dublin!" Mr Birrell justified the authorities' action against Mr Larkin, who had not been released *ill he had served a sufficient sentence commensurate with the evidence on which he was sentenced. PARTY DISSENSION.

LARKIN LIONISED. Times- -Sydney Sun Special Cables (Received 8.0 a.m.) London, November 14. The Irish Nationalists furiously resent Larkin's release, as the Party's interests demanded his seclusion from public affairs. The Lahor Party insisted on his release, which is regarded as a heavy.blow to Mr Redmond's prestige. Larkin is now the most prominent man in Dublin. The British Trades Unions leaders are reticent and ambiguous regarding the possibility of a genera' strike. The suffragettes maintain , that

women should not lie arrested and tortured, in face of Larkin's release.

ENGLISH SYMPATHY ALtENATED.

(Received 9.30 a.m.) London,

There are many signs that English trade unionist leaders bitterly resent Larkin's outburst. They point out that sympathy with Larkin over" the Government's victim does not mean sympathy with Larkin as a preacher of the sympathetic strike.
