COUP PROTEST TO BRITAIN
Treatment of Mannix and
Cork Mayor Protested.
WOMEN INSPIRE WALKOUT
Strike Expected to Spread to Every
Tort In V. S. All Schedules
Are Disrupted.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27. (By the
Associated Press.) Longshoremen
stopped work on four big White Star
liners here today in a protest against
the action of the Baltic crew in al
lowing British authorities to take
Archbishop Mannix, pro-Irish prelate.
from the ship on her last trip to
Kn Eland and the Imprisonment of the
lord-mayor of Cork.
From the White Star line Irish
sympathizers marched to the Cunard
line piers, where they pulled out
other longshoremen. Then they went
to the piers of the Anchor line with
a similar result.
Elated by their tie-up of virtually
every British ship in New York, the
1000 longshoremen who suddenly quit
work expect to spread their walkout
to every port in the United States In
the hope of forcing Great Britain to
release from jail Terence MacSweney,
lord-mayor of Cork, and permit Arch
bishop Mannix to land on Irish eolL
Women Inspire Walkout.
The women pickets who inspired
the unexpected walkout and the ma
rine firemen, water tenders and oil
era who joined them, feel the came
way. They are not going back to
work on British ships, they said, until
Great Britain meets their wishes.
irisn sympathizers working on
American, French and Belgian steam
ships also quit work during the
whirlwind campaign the strikers
waged along the North river.
A little band of women pickets in
spired the strike during the lunch
hour. They stationed themselves out
side the White Star line pier, to await
the arrival of the Baltic, from which
Archbishop Mannix was removed by
a British naval vessel.
The archbishop was not permitted
to land in Ireland but was taken to
England, and the longshoremen said
they resented this.
When the Baltic docked the women
held up a placard reading:
"When Mannix goes to Ireland le
the Baltic leave New York," and also
displayed other signs.
During the lunch hour the long
shoremen who had started work on
the Baltic decided not to go back
and, accompanied by the women Pick
ets, they went into the holds of the
other nearby liners the Olympic,
Canopic and Celtic where they
quickly induced hundreds of other
longshoremen to join the walkout.
All Schedules Disrupted.
Forming outside tho White Sta
jler, inside of which were officials
calling for police reserves, the strik
ers began a parades drawing hundreds
of longshoremen at the docks of the
Cunard, Anchor and other British
lineB, and leaving In Its wake more
than a dozen steamships with load
ing schedules disrupted.
Steamship officials were unable to
say what they will do to maintain
their schedules, nor were longshore
men union leaders, who declared the
strike unauthorized, although stating
that most of their men were in favor
of "Irish freedom. The walkout came
o suddenly and defections from work
ing crews varied so that neither
longshoremen chiefs . nor steamship
officials could estimate the number
of men who quit.
More Trouble Expected.
The White Star liner Olympic will
sail on scheduled time for South
ampton tomorrow, officials said to
night. At the Cunard line office there
was confidence that the Aquitania
also would leave tomorrow for the
same port. The Cunard line has five
steamships affected by the walkout
and the International Mercantile
Marine company's line has four, these
two companies being the heaviest suf
ferers.
Several British ships are scheduled
to arrive tomorrow and early next
week, but the longshoremen declare
they will not unload them, except for
mail.
Baltic Strikers Get Ovation.
A five-minute ovation greeted 100
striking members of the Baltic's
crew when they marched int.. a the
ater tonightduring a mass meeting
protesting MacSweency's Imprison
ment. The gathering, which num
bered nearly 4000, was addressed by
Frank P. alsh, chairman of the
American commission on Irish Inde
pendence, and Eamonn de Valera,
"president of tho Irish republic."
Walsh said that 3000 more men
would quit work on British shipping
here in the "fight for Ireland."
"With the cold-blooded assassina
tion of Terence MacSweeney will
come about the downfall of England,"
Baid Walsh. "George will be -responsible
(or this assassination."
Valera Lauds MacSweeney.
"MacSweeney does not want to
die." said de Valera, "but he knows

GALION, O., Aug. 27. Senator
Harding, facing an audience of rail
way employes, some of whom he rec
ognized as hostile to his position, to
day militantly championed the Cummins-Esch
railway act, passed by the
last congress.
Deliberately but with driving ges
tures he proclaimed his stand for "a
just government for all the people,
not a government yielding, to class,"
and declared his faith in a govern
mental policy that would not only in
sure to railway men the best of treat
ment and compensation, but would
also give to the people "a continuity
of service."
-"Some of you do not approve," he
said, plunging a pointing forefinger
at those nearest him. "Some of you
wished the Plumb plan. Let me look
you in the face and let me tell you
I think the Cummlns-Esch act is the
expression of the conscience of
congress which sought to give high
est service to the country.
- Harding Is Congratulated.
aome day, maybe not this year,
you railway workers will hail that
law as the greatest forward step in
all the history of railway legisla
tlon."
The nominee's declarations started
frequent bursts of hand-clapping and
later he was congratulated by many
railway men.
Making his second address away
from Marion, Senator Harding epoke
at a park where employes of the Erie
system were In the midst of an ath
letic field day. When he arrived he
was escorted to a luncheon tent,
where he stood in line to receive a
meal of beef and boiled potatoes on
a tin plate.
"Hail to the Chief." was thundered
out by a band alongside the mess
tent and a few minutes later the
"Star-Spangled Banner" arrested his
progress as he started to carry hia
food to a picnic table in a mud
carpeted tent.
"I am glad to make a campaign
speech about play," he said. "I am
making no appeal in this campaign
that I will not be willing to have-
tested by the standards that good
competitive sport has set up In all
ages and among all fair men. We
have had too much encouragement
from Washington given to the man
who wanted to cut second base, or
get something for nothing.
"Let me tell you things which I
have at heart about the railroad men.
No matter what anyone tells you, no
matter how erroneous impressions are,
no thoughtful man in business or pri
vate life, no earnest man in public
life is without a deep concern for the
good fortunes of every railway work
er, in the shop. In the yards, or office
or on the track, or on the trains
every man in the service."
Good Compensation Irged.
"We may differ about the way to
better conditions and the assurances
of soul and contentment in your work,
but we agree about the ends at which
we aim.
"I believe railway workers ought
to know the best conditions and be
as abundantly compensated as any
wage earners in our modern activi
ties. I am not thinking of the rail
workers alone. I am thinking of the
American public.
"Your service is not that of work
men in a private and competitive enterprise.-
No matter what old abuses
prevail, no matter what crimes were
once committed, capital and its issues
and compensations are under govern
ment control, rates of charges are
also under government regulation,
and I want a continuity of service, a
government guaranty, assured be
cause your government and the peo
ple's government makes your just
treatment its first concern."
Representatives of All Nations
Called Over "National Insult"
and Apology Is Promised.
ANTWERP. Aug. 27. (By the Asso
ciated Fre.ss.) The "booing" of the
British national anthem at the con
clusion of today's water polo match,
In which England won a , closely
fought game from the Belgian team,
resulted in the British representatives
calling a meeting of the representa
tives of all nations competing in the
Olympiad tonight. A protest was
made over what was termed a 'na
tici.al insult" and it brought a prom
ise of the publication in tomorrow's
official programme and In the" Ant
werp newspapers of an apology,
which will be made on behalf of the
t'elgian Olympic committee. The
American representatives attended
the meeting.
The incident occurred at the con
clusion of the gala day of the swim
ming competitions. The Belgian prin
cess, Marie Josie, occupied the royal
box. The British Black Watch mili
tary and piper bands played.
The feelings of the spectators were
manifest early in the water polo
contest, when each adverse decision
against the Belgian team by the
Swedish referee occasioned prolonged
booing from the Belgian supporters.
This was heightened when two Bel
gian players and one Englishman
were disqualified' for fouling.
The princess was leaving the royal
box just as the Union Jack, proclaim
ing the English victory, was being
run up and the band was playing
"God Save the King." Those who saw
the princess continued their cheering.
but a majority of the thousands pres
ent, ignoring the attempts of the Bel
gian officials to quiet the demonstra
tion, booed and hissed even after the
band had finished.

OTiEGONlAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. Aug. 27. Democrats and
republicans in Washington expressed
varying opinions today upon the
speech made by Governor Cox, dem
ocratic candidate for president, at
Pittsburg last night.
Democrats, who have been fearful
as to the effects of the step taken by
Governor Cox, professed to believe
that the Governor had made good.
They did this with reservations, how
ever, and acknowledged that much
depends upon what is brought forth
by the senate investigating commit
tee at Chicago. .
The republican position is that the
governor not only has not made good
but has placed himself in a ridiculous
position. They call attention to the
fact that there were two strings to
Governor Cox's charge; one was that
the republicans were raising a fund
of $15,000,000 and the other that it
was being raised by sinister Influences
o influence the election. In his speech
t Pittsburg the governor reduced the
15.000,000 charges to $8,000,000. again
raisins that sum by the convenient
rocess of multiplying it by two.
All Contributions S10OO.
Republicans cal, attention to the
fact -that the charge of sinister lnflu- .

f the fact that tho contributions are
limited to $1000 each and that what-
ver money is being raised is a mass .
evy to be used in saving the govern
ment from the continuation of an
dniinistration that has wasted bil
lions.
Chairman Hays of tho republican
ommittee, who ought to know better
than anybody else, positively denies
the charge made by Governor Cox.
The situation so remains that the
burden of proof is still resting upon
he democratic condidate for pres
ident.
What has created a greater sensa
tion than the charge itself was the
manner in which Governor C jx made
it. The most intense indignation is
felt by republican leaders over the

and put the bayonet to the breast of
labor.
This wild and baseless statement.
republicans say. is of a character to
justify every patriotic American citi
zen in contributing, however slightly.
to the republican campaign fund to
prevent the possible calamity in
volved in the occupancy of tne wnite
House by a man who would make so
reckless a statement.
In fact, the campaign appears to
have reached the personal stage. At
its outset Senator Harding expressed
the dignified wish that personalities
ight be avoided, but Governor Cox,
who Is described generally as "smart
and shrewd," Is apparently deter
mined to inject personalities into
everything that he says or does.
Senator Harding is not expected to
reply in kind, but Chairman Hays has
stated briefly that charges of this
character will not be taken "lying
down" and he made some other state
ments which intimate the character
the campaign will assume within a
few days.
Character of Cox Revealed.
For example, Mr. Hays says that
Governor Cox, himself a millionaire.
is so familiar with the amount of
money wasted in aircraft production
in his state that he dreams in terms
of millions. It is a well-known fact
that Governor Cox is the personal
friend and golfing companion of
Colonel Deeds, who was tho head of
the aircraft production board during
the war and whose prosecution was
advised by Charles Evans Hughes
following the investigation of the
aircraft scandal made by him.
" Republicans regard the speech of
Governor Cox as important, mostly as
a self-revelation of the character of
the democratic candidate. They be
lieve the public is taking its own
measurement of the man who makes
reckless statements like those cred
ited to Governor Cox, which they
claim are unsupported.
They point out it is hardly possible
the public will seriously regard Gov
ernor Cox as a moral crusader in
view of the fact that he Is the can

Accordingly it is the republican
