CCopyrtght by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BELFAST, Sept. 5. (Special Cable.) The boycott declared by Sinn Feiners of the south and west of Ireland has shut down on Belfast like a barrage. The Sinn Fein's answer to the union ist boycott of Catholic workers in Belfast is already effective. No com mercial travelers are going into the south and west and merchants fill the few mail orders with misgivings, tearing confiscation en route. Belfast is losing 1, 000,000 worth of business weekly, having lost several millions since the Catholics were driv en from the shipyards on July 21. The merchants do not know what to do, but local Sinn Feiners tell them to Ket busy and enforce -the Dail tiire nnn'9 order which declares illegal dis crimination among employes on reli gious grounds. The merchants being unionists, refuse to recognize the Dail Kireann's mandate and the Sinn Fein ers tell them they will be boycotted until they recognize it. The result is an Impasse, as the Einn Fein is determined and the unionists refuse to yield. The boycott m complete, thouch a "white list is to be published by the Sinn Fein. So lar there is no list ot license from the Sinn Fein to trade with what is called "republican Ireland." I talked with Sinn Fein merchants here who instigated the boycott. They - eay the Dail only permitted the boy cott after considerable parleying and leaves it to the Sinn .Fein organiza tions rather than to act as a national republican body. Local Sinn Feiners on their own initiative are included In the boycott. They propose to ad mit on the "white list" only those firms which actively support the re publican government. That means that Ulster must make a complete political change if it expects the boy cott to be lifted. This is the Sinn Fein's coercive measure. It cannot affect Belfast's chief manufacturers, which are made for export, unless, aa Belfast fears, the southern Irish trade unionists in . 3uce English trade unionists to block ade Belfast by refusing to handle chipping between England and Bel fast. But the prosperity of the city is largely dwe to the fact that it is the biggest jobbing center, which is new entirely isolated on account of the Unionist workers' boycott of Catholic workers. In a statement today the mayor of Belfast said: "Yesterday waB the worst day in the history of Belfast." The lord mayor admitted to me to day that no effort is being made to Kettle differences between Catholics end Protestants. - "What can we do," he said, "when unionist workmen refuse to work with Sinn Feiners? You can't force them. Since the Catholics were driven out of the shipyards the Catholics have retaliated by driving out of the fac tories, where they were more numer- cus, all of the Protestant Workmen. There it stands." "If you don't do anything, are you rot ruined?" I asked. Coates replied: the rest oi Ireland may declare a boycott, but if it can't buy elsewhere bo cheaply and with equal credit, it will come back." He was obviously nonplussed, like the rest of Belfast, which seems un able to grapple with, the problem. . asked him what was being done to protect persons in their homes. He replied, showing some cheerfulness, as if there he saw some light: "They are arranging that between themselves. Cathftlics, feeling safer in their own districts, are changing with Protestants in Catholic quarters.1 The truth is neither the mayor nor the military have command of the situation. Throughout the city mov . ing vans are carting furniture. Cath olio families, dispossessed, are seek ing shelter in Catholic neighborhoods, especially the Falls Road district, and forcing the few unionists to move to the homes they were forced to vacate. The Falls Road district is beleagured between Shankhill and Donegal roads, where the unionists' are still burning out the Catholic shops. Considering the number of soldiers the government is able to maintain in southern Ireland it has very few here, and they are able to act only after looting begins. Belfast is prac tically unpoliced, and the Falls Road Catholics, who ware numerically in ferior, are defending themselves against the invading unionist mobs. At every corner heaps of pavifig tones are ready to beat off the iu- 11 STRIKERS ON 2 6TH DAY One of Irish Fasters Reported to Be in Critical Condition. BELFAST,. Sept. 6. Fi'fty-one ar rests were made undr the curfew last night in Belfast. The suburb roads were held today, by the military and police, who stopped all motorists. The 11 hunger strikers in the Cork jail today entered the 26th day of their abstinence from food, having subsisted only on water. The, condition of Michael O'Reilly is critical and he Is unable to speak to visitors. ' The period these men have gone without food is a record for Irish prisoners. The longest previous hun ger strike lasted 23 days. It was stated that their relatives are allowed to v-isit them. The Cork Nurses' association has offered to attend the hunger strikers day and night free of charge. . SEATTLE FIGHT CENTER ATTEMPT MADE TO NEUTRAL IZE KING COUNTY'S VOTE. FRENCH -LOSE IN WATER 1 1 AMERICAN SWIMMERS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP AT PARIS. Kahanamoku Sets New World Mark in 10 0-Meter Evet of Dual Olympic. PARIS, Sept. 5. The American ath letes made a clean sweep in the water contests' of the "Paris Olympic" to day. Duke Kahanamoku broke the world's record in the 100-meter swim, covering the distance in 1 minute flat.

Week Yet Remains Before Primary to Nominate Candidates From ' j Constable " Up. .' : - SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 5. (Spe cial.) With little more than a week intervening before the primary elec tion that will nominate republican and, democratic officers from United States senator to constable and give an opportunity (or the third party forces to hold a series of county, state aand congressional conventions that will put a full ticket in the field for the farmer-labor party, the struggle to neutralize King cpunty's vote is growing stronger. It may be put in different forms in the various campaign headquarters, but the fact is that most of the -candidates for most of the offices are eager to neutralize' the King county vote. The aspirants from King naturally enough, are trying U get away from their home surroundings with a big lead. But the way a great many candidates look at it is that King, with its big neutral vote, which could come very close to swinging ths state if it were as provincial as some other sections of Washington, is a debatable ground where everybody is certain to centralize his or her last- minute efforts and fight for the best that can be had, hoping all the while that no one candidate will come out strong enough to win. There are- contests that the King county vote could determine and there noayve some it will, but most of the candidates are hoping that they can hold things-level In. King, . for they have their own ideas of how the rest of the state is going to go. That is why the last few days ofxhe primary fight will witness a more intensified canvass ot Seattle and King county than ever has been known.

Peter J. .Mac Swiney. brother of the lord mayor of Cork, tonight made public a copy of a letter he said he had received from the state department at Washington setting forth that "it was not in a po sition to make protestations to the British authorities" against the Tord mayor's arrest. Mr. MacSwiney had reauested the state department to in tervene In his brother's behalf. The letter, dated August 14, said: "The receipt of your letter of Aug ust 18, 1920. and your telegram of August 21, 1920, is acknowledged in calling the department' attention to the alleged arrest and imprisonment of your brother, Terence MacSwiney, by the British authorities. "In repiy I beg to inform you that from precedent established in cases of this kind the department finds It Is not in a position to make protesta tions to the British authorities against the arrest and imprisonment of one who, like your brother, is not a cit izen of the United States. "I beg to remain, sir, "G. HOWLAND SHAW. "Forth Secretary of State." News of the death of Mayor Mac Swiney was momentarily expected by his brother. "I believe this is the last," Peter said. "I have been anxiously waiting all day for the news of his death. I guess Terence cannot' last much- longer." - -. - LABOR APPEAL TURNED DOWN Donar Law Declares MacSwiney Must Suffer Consequences. LONDON. Sept. 5. In reply to the labor party's appeal in behalf of Lord Mayor MacSwiney, Mr. Bonar Law, the government leader, addressed a long letter today; to the effect that the government's position was made clear in the premier s statemeur oi August 25, to which there was little to add. Mr. Bonar Law proceeds to state that MacSwiney was one of the lead ers of the Irish republican army, which declared itself at- war with the forces' of the crown, ajidK according to his own written words in otfe of he seditious documents for which he was convicted, he and his followers had determined to pursue their own ends, asking no mercy and making no compromise. Had he been taken at his word and dalt with as an avowed rebel ac cording to the universal practice among civilized r nations, says Mr. Bonar Law, he would have been liable to be shot. Instead he was tried by legally constituted tribunal, sent enced to .a moderate term of im prisonment and alL. the privileges of h Tiolitioa.1 T)rlflnnr. To release such prisoners, asserts Mr. Bonar Law, "would be nothing short of a betrayal of loyal officers on whose devotion to duty the fabric of social order in Ireland rests." Since MacSwiney's arrest-, it is pointed out, 15 officers have been brutally and treacherously put to death without any chance of defend ing themselves. "Surely," continues the letter, "the sympathy extended to the lord mayor, whose condition is due to his own de liberate act, is due rather to the bereaved widows and families of the murdered Irish policemen. The gov ernment fully realizes how large part sentiment plays in all human af fairs, and if it were possible it would gladly have taken the attitude of the English king who said of an op ponent: He is determined to make himself a martyr, and I am equally aeierminea to prevent it." Mr. Bonar Law declared that the government cannot take a course in voiving ine complete breakdown o the machinery-of law and govern ment and that If the lord mayor die in prison the responsibility will rest in some degree upon those .who by ineir repeated appeals have encour aged the-, belief that the government would prove insincere in its deter ruination. - Plan' Is 'to Obtain Supreme Court Decision.
