Washington, June -N. Invitations went out from the W lute House yes both kory O'Connor and Eamon De Valera have made appeals to the people for support. Mr. De Valera paper, the Republic of Ireland, which lotted O'Connor's communique as a ".stop press" supplement, was posted on walls in various parts of the city. The communique was accompanied bv an editorial statement saying: "In Kory O'Connor and his com rades lives the unbought and in terdav. asking the loaders of the illimitable soul of Ireland." rtriking miners and the reprcscuta- Frtkine Childers, who was defeated lives of the employing coal opera- for re-election to parliament, is still . 1 . t l- L ' .

John L. Lewis, ciiief of the United Mine Workers, who remained in the city after a personal interview with the president, accepted at once in bc- ialf of the union. The wording of the president's message was interpreted as demon strating the desire of the administra tion to hold the meeting above the tontrovcrsies which have deadlocked the unionized section of the industry unce April 1. Official but informal comment emphasized it was the in tention that the conference should be held merely to discuss ways and means for a settlement and not to take up the miners' demands for continuation of wartime wage scales, nor the operators' demand in the bituminous field for separate district wages supplementing the semi-national wage contracts that have here tofore been made. Boone, la., June 28. The non union wagon mine of the Boone Bib lical college near here, which closed down Saturday following a request by union officials, resumed operations today, according to members of the local union of the United Mine Workers of America. It is considered likely that strik ing miners of the vicinity will visit the mine in a body tomorrow and again request that the pit be closed. Similar demonstrations have been made at several other nonunion mines in Iowa, and in all cases the pits are reported to have closed. Stage Demonstration. Punxsutawney, Pa., June 28. A large crowd of men, said to be strik ing miners and sympathizers, went from this region to Valier in auto mobiles, wagons and afoot, and staged a demonstration at a number of working mines. Reports to county officials said mat many ot tne working miners walked out but that three men who refused to quit work were assaulted and badly beaten. As a result, the mines which had been operating with about 300 men since the strike began, were closed. The owners, all residents of Punx sutawney, have appealed to Sheriff S. A. Lowrie at Brookville for aid. f he regular army command is tak ing the most elaborate precautions to exclude from Dublin anybody or any supplies intended to aid the irregulars. F.vcry road leading into the city has been blocked and is tin dcr the guard of armed men. The Great Southern railway has been cut at several points and its is reported that an important bridge has been blown up. College Green, the center of the city, was almost deserted today. Impassioned Plea. An impassioned plea "for all citi zens of the Irish republic," to rally to its support in this supreme test of the nation's destiny," is contained in a proclamation issued by the Irish army insurgents who are holding the four courts against the free state forces. "The fateful hour has come at the dictation of our heriditary ene my." says the appeal, "and our right ful cause is being treacherously as sailed by recreant Irishmen. The crash of arms and the boom of artillery reverberate in this su preme test of the nation's destiny. Uaiiant sldier ot the Irish re public, stand firm in its defense and worthily uphold their noblest tradi tions. The sacred spirits oi the illus trious dead are with us in this great struggle. Death before dishonor be- 11 g an unchanging principle of our national faith as it was found, they still inspire us to emulgate their glorious efforts. We especially appeal to our form er comrades in the Irish republic to return to that allegiance and thus guard the nation's honor from the nfamous stigma that her sons aided her foes in retaining the hateful domination over her." Washington, June 2. 'farm's 011 foodstuff occupied the attention of the senate again today, with com mittee rates on milk, cream, poultry and honey receiving overwhelming endorsement despite fights from the democratic side and some opposition fiom the majority side in the case of the rate on cream. Duties ap proved were: Milk, fresh, 2 1-2 rents a gallon, house rate, 1 cent; onr and butter milk, 1 rent a gallon, house rate, 1-2 rent; cream. 22 1-2 vents a gallon, house rate from S to 111 cents; milk powder, 5 cents a pound, house rate, 8 cents. Poultry, alive, 3 cents a pound, house rate, 2 cents; dressed, cents a pound, house rate, 4 cents; all other poultry, dressed, 8 cents per pound, house rate, 20 per rent ad valorem; poultry, prepared or pre served and not specially provided for, 35 per cent ad valorem, house rate, 22 per cent. Honey, 3 cents a pound, house rate, 2 1-2 cents. j Debate over milk and cream duties developed a controversy among New t.ngland senators. The amendment of Senator Lodge, republican leader, to provide for 10 cents a gallon on all imported cream not used for mak ing butter, was rejected, S3 to 19. Discussion of the proposed duty on honey brought forth considerable humor and sarcasm from the demo cratic side. Senator Stanley of Ken tucky remarked that no doubt the duty was designed to sustain the higher standard of living of the American honey bee. and he declared that the "utter indifference of the democratic party to the American honey bee is nathetic." Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, gave it as his opinion that the duty was designed to protect the American bee from the German bee, which, he said, necessarily enjoyed a much lower living cost than the American bee. i..iyL,,H,,V Jt " ft.""!

A Reduction in Prices But Not in Thompson, Belden Quality $115,000 Central Mutual Telephone Co. of Iowa 6 FIRST MORTGAGE (closed) TWENTY-YEAR GOLD BONDS Dated July 1, 1922. i Due July 1, 1942 Interest payable January 1 and Jnly 1 At the office of the United States Trust Company, Omaha. 5ot redeemable prior to 1927; redeemable 1928 to 1932 at 107 H from 1933 to 1937 at 101; from 1988 to 1912 at 101 United States Trust Company, Omaha, Neb:, Trustee The Central Mutual Telephone Company of Iowa, organized in 1903, has operated continuously and successfully telephone toll lines and exchanges in Calhoun County, Iowa, and vicinity. Calhoun County is in the heart of the richest agricultural section of North Central Iowa, the county alone having an assessed valuation of approximately $50,000,000. The population served by the company is approximately 18,000. The company is at present operating over 560 miles of telephone lines, serving 3,248 subscribers. Since its inauguration the company has been in a 'strong financial posi tion. During the past four, years net earnings have been over three times the annual interest requirement of this issue. According to the independent reports of Edward E. Burt & Company, Appraisal Engineers, Chicago, for the company, and C. L. Swancutt, Appraisal Engineer of the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, for the United States Trust Company, the actual valuation as of March 1, 1922, after giving effect to the present financing, was more than two and one-half times the amount of the first mortgage bonds. Upon completion of the present financing the company will have no outstanding indebtedness other than this issue of bonds. It will have a special reserve for additions and betterments of $25,000. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement the company covenants to set aside annually during the life of this issue $12,000 for depreciation account, additions and betterments. Of this $12,000 there is to be deposited annually $5,000, beginning June, 1923, with the United States Trust Company for the purchase of bonds at not to exceed par and interest, thus insuring with the assistance of the local market a good market for the bonds. The Central Mutual Telephone Company maintains very satisfactory con nections with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, and other inde pendent companies, thus insuring their subscribers a nationwide telephone service. These bonds will be secured, in the opinion of Counsel Edgar M. Morsman, jr., by a first and closed mortgage on all the operating property of the com pany, including real estate, toll lines, exchanges and materials used and usable in the business. Price 98.90, to yield 6.60 We recommend these bonds as a safe high-yield investment. Ittttrt. States SruBt nmpana Agiliatti with..' (Jhr BuitfJi latr a National Sank t612Tamm Street Omaha. Nebraska.
