"We commissioners are three native-born American lawyers of Irish parentage. We hare spent 10 days In Ireland, traveling upwards of 1.200 miles by steam railway, visiting all actions of the Emerald isle. "Over there we chatted with men of all shades of political opinion and re ligious thought, large property own ers, merchants, manufacturers and leaders of the Irish labor movement. In my opinion Ireland has a coherent labor movement which has direct con ; nection with the Irish republican po litical movement. To make sure of having correct Informalon we called personally upon lord mayors, mem bers Of council and heads of trades councils In every city. :. "In Ireland we met with an en thusiastic and kindly reception and saw no sign ef disturbance or expres sion of any disorder anywhere, in fact wa observed no evidence of force or violence except upon two occasions when British troops appeared in the Mansion House square, Dublin, and later on the outskirts of the city or West Port. My ancestors came from the latter place, and I was unable to get in to took ft their graves, I might mention that practically everyone we t met in Ireland had some connection .

The slums of London were not as drab as we expected, for Mr. Walsh remarked: "Now over in Du blin there are probahly the worst slums in the world. I visited them. Conditions are terrible." (iovernor Iunne remarked: "I was more struck with Oallway falling to pieces from natural decay and grass growing on the street, all due to the decline of shipping.
