Owner ot Large Irish Estate
Writes of His Recent
Experiences.
MAKES LIFE A BURDEN
Forced to Work Farm of 1234 Acres
Practically AYltlrout Hired Help.
Laborers Are Compelled to
Leave His Employ.
DUBLIN, May 9. (Special.) Walter
Joyce, of Corgary House, "Castleblakeney,
County Galway, has drawn up a state
ment of his experiences for the past five
months, during which he has been sub
jected to the most rigorous boycott. Ha
is owner in fee of 1SU7 acres, 1234 of
which he farms himself; the remainder Is
held by his 34 tenants and to others under
adjustment contracts. The flrst intima
tion he got of the coming storm was on
October 29, last, when he was requested
to meet the tenants with the treasurer,
deputy vice-president and assistant sec
retary of the league, and discuss the pur
chase by the tenants of their holdings.
Me refused to meet any but the tenants.
On November 12 he was handed tha
tenant's offer of purchase, which included
174 years purchase at present rents, pos
session of the grazing lands at Griffiths,
valuations pending sale, turbary and
sporting rights, an abatement of $1.75 on
November rents, and all arrears to be
wiped out. He appointed November 12 to
collect his rents. The tenants arrived in
a body and refused to pay without abate
ment of $1-50 in the pound. Mr. Joyce
goes on:
Five Employes Quit.
"On November IS, 1907, five men left
my employment, announcing their inten
tion to do so about 10 P. M. the previous
evening on my return from Ennistymon
Fair. My coachman and general maid
servant did not then leave, but the former
did on November 30. 1 was then left with
out a single man to do anything on a
farm of about 1200 acres. To make it all
the harder and more Impossible for me to
struggle on, every effort was made to
frighten away tile maid servant as well,
but happily without success. My duties
thus became numerous and heavy in the
short days of November, but I struggled
on."
Ho next relates how he had to cart
his own coal from Woodlawn station,
seven miles away, once a month. On
one occasion his animal was overladen,
and when he appealed to a man who
was passing, to help him to relieve the
animal he refused. Further on he says:
All Fear the Boycott.
"I have to get my supplies by post and
from a distance. I could not get any
thing locally, and even the blacksmith,
who was doing my work for about 20
years, had to refuse to shoe my horses
through fear of being boycotted himself,
as he was so threatened if he continued
it. I then got permission from Lord
Ashdown to get my horses stiod at his
forge, which was a fortunate deliverance
from this dilemma.
'"I have a written contract with a local
rabbit catcher to take my rabbits for the
season 1907 and 190$, but he declined to
carry it out, writing that he was in
formed by someone he did not know that
It would be safe for him to do so. The
mother of my maid-servant, the only
one of my employes that remained in
my service, is also rigidly boycotted and
subjected to all sorts of annoyance. For
a time she was able to procure neces
saries at a local market town, but eventu
ally got a letter from the shopkeeper
who supplied her saying he hoped she
wouldn't ask him to do so again. I nm
now supp'ying her with any necessaries
she requires."
Attack Police Escort.
After relating how he is shouted at
when passing through his farm, and how
his servant man and his police escort
were attacked on Sunday, March 1 last,
and again on Friday, March 6, Mr. Joyce
concludes thus:
"A third attack was made outside the
chapel gate after tirst mass at Men
lough on Sunday, March 8, and again on
the road at Raheens on Sunday a week
later. Forty police were drawn up out
side the chapel gate after flrst mass at
Menlough to protect me and my man
after coming out from divine service. Tho
attitude of the crowd was most hostile.
They shouted, groaned, and followed us
on, and were it not for the strons force
of police, I believe we would have been
seriously assaulted.
"On March 17 about a similar police
force were drawn up outside the chapel
gate, but on this occasion the crowd col
lected at the chapel door and groaned
at us immediately on leaving the church,
and we were accompanied as far as my
gate by a strong force of police in charge
of two district Inspectors.
Slake Liife Miserable.
"Bands are constantly parading the
road close to my house, vigorously beat
ing the drum, shouting and yelling, and
sometimes going as far as my gate and
passing back and returning again. My
man and I are under constant police pro
tection. The great object is to make it
impossible for any one to remain in my
employment, so that I must do everything
myself; to make life miserable, that I
may be forced into surrender to the de
mands of the mob. The latest move on
the part of some of my tenants is to drive
their stock into one of my farms when I
am away on another part of the place,
so that it takes me a long time to collect
and deliver them up to the owners."
SERUM FOR PNEUMONIA
Belgian Physician Satisfied of Suc
cess of His Experiments.
BRUSSELS. May 2. Dr. Bertrand. of
Antwerp, claims to have discovered a
serum which will cure pneumonia, and
has delivered a lecture on the subject
to the Medical Society of Antwerp.
"I first satisfied myself of the
efficacy of my serum," he says, "by ex
perimenting on animals. Then trials
were made this Winter in the St. Eliza
beth and Stuyvenburg Hospitals in
Antwerp. Several of the patients had
pneumonia in an advanced stage and
were also habitual drunkards."
