JOINT RAIL INQUIRY FAILS
Provisional Head Declares Clause
Providing for Investigation of
Outrages Is" Violated.
BELFAST, April 26. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A breach between the
Dublin and the Belfast governments,
which Ulster political quarters declare
may also entail a rupture of the Lon
don agreement, is indicated by
statement issued by the provisional
government in Dublin this afternoon,
announcing that it is unable to co
operate with the Belfast government
in an Inquiry into the Irish railways.
The seriousness of the general
situation between the- two govern
ments is indicated by a telegram
from Michael Collins, head of the pro
visional government, to Sir James
Craig", the Ulster premier.
"All here are agreed it is impossible
to make any further progress until
the vital clauses of the London agree
ment are fulfilled by you," said Col
lira" telegram dated April 22. "They
consider your, attitude as most unsat
isfactory and entirely out of accord
with the letter and spirit of tne
agreement and your failure to agree
to investigation of cases under
clause V is most unreasonable.
(Clause V of the London agreement
of March 80 provided for establish
ment of a committee In Belfast with
equal numbers of Catholics and Prot
estants, to hear and Investigate com
plaints of intimidation, outrages.
etc.).
Co-operation Held Useless.
The statement issued in Dublin by
the provincial government today
reads:
"It was originally intended that the
commission of inquiry into the Irish
railways should be joint, as between
the provisional government and the
Belfast parliament, but owing to the
state of affairs in Belfast and the
failure of the Belfast parliament to
carry out its agreement and under
taking, the provincial government has
decided it is quite useless to endeavor
to act in co-operation with it
Consequently the commission of
inquiry into the railways has been
directed to open its public proceed
ings in Dublin Tuesday next.
Sir James Craig's reply to Michael
Collins' telegram of April 22, made
public today, asserts that there had
been no co-operation on the part of
the provisional government, which
had not even appointed its nominees
on the advisory committee called by
the London agreement.
Boycott Not Withdrawn.
The Ulster premier also complained
that the provisional government had
not withdrawn the boycott of Ulster
and that hundreds of thousands of
pounds' worth of Belfast goods had
been destroyed in southern Ireland.
He declared the Irish republican army
was still committing grave outrages
in Ulster and he asserted in genera
that there had been bad faith on the
part of the provisional government.
The London agreement alluded to
is the one reached at the conference
of March 30, participated in by Brit
ish cabinet members, Michael Collins
and Arthur Griffith, for south Ire
land, and Sir James Craig and the
Marquis of Londonderry for northern
Ireland. By this agreement, the two
Irish governments undertook to co
operate with a view to the restora
tion of peaceful conditions in the
unsettled areas in Ireland. The
agreement included the institution of
new legal methods to settle differ
ences between the Catholic and
Protestant interests in Ulster, the
cessation of Irish republican army
activities in the northern counties
and other conciliatory measures.
A Belfast dispatch Tuesday night
reported serious differences between
the two governments over the ap
pointment of a joint commission for
Irish railway affairs, the provisional
government having nominated its men
independently of the northern govern
ment. It was stated that word had
been received from Labor Minister
McGrath of the southern cabinet that
it could not agree to the joint com-misis-ion
plan in view of unsatisfactory
replies from Ulster to communica
tions regarding the London pact, in
dicating in the view of the southern
author'tles that Ulster did not intend
to honor the agreement.
