U-Mt a SuUa, Cum 4 Natia THREE CENTS Irish Turn DownPeace Proposals , Rfply of Cabinet to Premifr Lloyd George Holds Terms fS'ot Bound on Do- minion Status. Way Is. Still Left Open (Bf Tk AMciat4 Fr.) London, Sept 4. The Irish rcpub lican parliament's reply to Premier Lloyd George's latest communication rejects the British government's pro posals for settlement of tho Irish question, on the ground that they are not based on a dominion status for Ireland. It leaves the way open for further negotiation, however, by of fering at once to appoint plenipoten tiaries on the basis of the principle of government by consent of the gov erned. London, Sept. 4. The Dafl Eircann's reply to the Britih pre mier signed by Eamon de Valera, made public in London and Dubln loday, had been preceded in the British and Irish press by apparently inspired statements that it would create a grave situation. Perusuat of the rcolv. however, af fords little reason to fear the imme diate breakdown of the negotiations unless the cabinet council meeting Wednesday should decide to tinposc 'a time limit within which.. Ireland must accept cr reject the govern ment proposals. - The reply shows Mr. De Valera and tiie Uail h-ireann have not re ceded from their former ,osition. It emphasizes that the British govern ment's proposals are not an invita tion to enter into a free and wiling (artnership with the nations of the British commonwealth, but that the conditions Mr. Lloyd George seeks to impose would divide Ireland into two artihcial and mutually destruo tive states. It , insists ptenipoten iiaries must enter a conference nn- iranielled by ' conditions, .ut with jthat proviso, and says that the Dail r.ircann is ready to appoint plenipo tentiaries. '' .

De Valera seems to ingnore the premier's warning of danger in delay, the position is much tie same as in the last exchange of letters and almost certainly there will be - a further exchange before .. a real crisis 'arises.

Omaha Situation Better By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINO, (hlraga Trlba-Omaha n l-f4 Wlr. Washington, Sept, 4. A slight in trease in employment, pos.ihly indi cating a turning of the tide toward better times, is reported by the De partment of Labor, as a result ot its industrial survey for August. Of the 65 cities surveyed, 38 report more and 27 fewer men employed in August than iir July. The ins-ness de pression is still pronounced, particu larly in the east, hut conditions appear to be improving somewhat in the west. "While this deduction is probably true, it would be a mistake to imbue the figures with a significance not strictly in accordance with the facts. Hence in any just appraisement of the situation, it must be borne in mind that the improvement shown can be traced in great measure to the vast agriculture activities of the month and that as yet the major manufacturing, mining an trans portation interests have' given less conclusive evidence of the value and permanency of such small gains as they may have experienced. Increase in Building. "A happy augury is the very gen eral increase in building operations, the survey showing that present ac tivities in- this line are greater than at any time since the nation entered the war. "Other encouraging features in the situation as emphasized by the survey, are the generally bountiful harvest; indications of improvement in iron and steel; marked re-employment in railroad occupations; the approaching depletion of 'manu factured stocks and the continued strength of textiles, particularly cot tons. . . "A marked increase in industrial optimism is noted, business men generally inclining to the belief that the worst part of the depression is over and that the future will witness improvement of a healthy and last ing ' character, even though it bo somewhat slow in developing." In all, 1,428 firms each usually employing more than 500 workers, or a total of 1,600,000 are comprised in the survey. On August 31, these firms had 16,269 more employes on their, pay rolls than they carried on July 31, an increase of 1.08 per cent. Summing up his conclusions from the survey, Francis I. Jones, di rector general of the United Sts:s employment service, said: "At first glance, the figures of the monthly industrial survey for Au gust would seem to show that the low point in the present severe de pression has been passed and that the country has at last definitely set out on the long , up-hill climb to normal conditions and better times. ' . General Increase. , ' Industrial classifications showing increases in employment are food and kindred products; textiles and their products; iron and steel and their products; leather and its finished products; stone, clay , and glass products, metals and metal products other, than iron and steel;' tobacco manufactures and railroad s repair shops.
