PRESIDENT GOMPERS’ VISIT
TO DUBLIN. IRELAND
Tho Irish Labor Journal, published
In Dublin. Ireland, lias the following
Interesting statement of Samuel Gom-
per. In Dublin:
"Tile vl.lt of Mr. Samuel Gnmpers,
the president of the American Federa
tion Of Labor, hiJH l>i<n availed [if by
the representative, of Irl.h trades un
ionism to extend to their brothers In
the Industrial movement fratemni
greetings and expressions of good will
thru their distinguished visitor.
’’For some time post he has been In
communication with men in Ireland, ex-,
pressing his lively satisfaction and
kindly remembrance of his former visit
to this country. Mr. Gompers arrived
In Irelnnd on Monday, and on Monday
night the Irish Trades congress and the
executive of the Dublin Trades council
did themselves tho honor of Informally
entertaining him.
"Various toasts were duly honored,
but none more enthusiastically than the
health of the distinguished guest. Mr.
OomperB, In responding, dealt with
many aspects of the labor movement.
He spoke of the necessity of solidarity
a movement which Is world-wide,
and In which so many of those who
fought for liberty In Its widest sense,
and for human rights and Justice In Its
broadest and best conception, had gone
down In death at the hands of their op
f treason. A movement which was young
n Its virility, In It. Ktrength. and In Its
comprehensiveness, was still a battle
for right against wrong, a struggle for
the uplifting of our poorer brethren, for
the protection of the children of the
wage-earner, and so wa. a. old a. the
world Itself. He had come to Ireland
to bear greeting, of fraternal brother
hood from his colleagues In the United
States, and he advised them to keep
on rightly struggling for the right, no
bly striving to be free; they held, per,
haps, differences of opinion upon the
complex durations Involved In the pollt
leal arena of a country situated as Ire
land was, but never let them forget that
they were'wage-earners, and that they
were continuing In that sense the fight
whleh was being waged by their broth
ers In every country Into which trades
unionism had penetrated.”

Farris, of 65 Pulllam-st.. the missing
engineer of the Grady hospital, and arc
making a search for him. but so far not
tho slightest clew -has been obtained as
to his whereabouts.
The Identity of the unknown woman
with whom Farris Is believed to have
fled Is still a mystory. Every possible
effort Is being made by friends of Far
ris and his wifo and the officers to
learn something definite concerning this
woman. The fact that Farris was seen
Tuesday night In company with a wom
an. a brunette, Just before he disap
peared, Is tho only thing that has been
found to show them together on this
night. , . ,,,' j „
■'I am anxious to learn the Identity of
this woman,” said 5Irs. Farris, the de
serted wife. "That Is the only Interest
I now have as to my husband. I Just
have a curiosity to know who this
woman Is, and I am going to try my
best to find out."
SHOW~WAS~A SUCCESS
More Than 2,500 Persons
Saw Performance.
With an attendance estimated at from
2,500 to 8.000 persons, the dramatiza
tion of Cooper’s famous novel, "The
Bast of the Mohicans," was presented at
the Auditorium-Armory on Thursday
night by the local members of the Order
of Red 5Ien.
For a cast composed entirely of local
talent the play was most skillfully pre
sented nnd the Interpretation of the va
rious characters drawn by the author
was most cleverly nnd successfully
done. The book was dramatized by
Henry Lifts, who took the part of
Ilnwkeye and played It to perfection.
Prior to the opening of the perform
ance tho drum corps of Cherokee tribe
paraded the principal streets of the
city dressed In Indian fashion and at
tracted considerable attention. The
drum corps assisted the orchestra In
furnishing the music for the occasion.
The committee In charge of the finan
cial end of the entertainment will meet
Friday and later wilt announce the
amount of money collected.
1 The only hitch In the program Thurs-
Uny night wa* the fall of the curtain,
whleh fortunately took place before the
play began and did no further damage
than cause a delay of about twenty
minutes.
