DUBLIN. rec 4.-Speelal.)-How ah-urd It Is for an English Parliament to legislate for Ireland la ahown by the situation which has Just artaea In consequence of the pro posal to apply the provisions of the "sntl sweatlng bill" now before Parliament, to Ireland, bill absolutely- prohlblta what Is known as 'home work" and the prohibi tion Is. no doubt, an excellent one for Etna-land, where home work In the slums of the English cities Is simply sn excuse for sweating. Very different conditions prevail, how ever, in Ireland, ami particularly in the northwest counties, where the principal In dustries are threatened wtlh total disorgan isation If the bill becomea a law In Its present form. It Is estimated that In the city and county of Perry and the neigh boring counties of Tyrone and Donegal there are from ,000 to . women and girls engaged as "out-workers" In the shirt and underclothing trade and in "sprigging' handkerchiefs. These women are chiefly farmers wives and daughters and they work In the country under the rnost health ful conditions. They receive fairly good prices for their work, and they are not wholly dependent upon It, but the money which they earn Is a welcome addition to the family Income and often means the difference between keeping the family to gether at borne and sending the daughters out to serve or to work In the town fac tories. Womea Take Blar Bisk. If this bill passes these women and girls will either hsve to emigrate or will be forced into the factories and exposed to all the dangers and degradations of slum life. The manufacturers who have built up vast businesses which give employment to thousands of peopl will be forced to reorganise their work from top to bottom and the public wUl probably have to par mors for Its goods, while the workers will really be wars off than they were before. Nearly every public board In the north of Ireland baa passed resolutions denouncing the bltl. but no notice Is taken, of course, by the English legislators who know noth ing and" careless about" P condition In Ire-land. With Its ual genius for doing the wrong thing, the British War office is taking advantage of the trade depression t ) try and secure Irish recruits for the British army. Daring the last week or two the town councils and other local authorities have received copies of a cir culsr from, the war office asking them to send unemployed men who apply to the public authorities for work or relief lo the nearest recruiting station. Most of the councils have promptly resented this attempt to turn them Into recruiting agencies, and some of them have passed a model resolu tion drawn up by the Cork City council to the effect that what la needed is an Indus trial revival and not an Increase of militar ism. Incidentally It is mentioned thst ex tensive repairs at the Cork barracks were carried out recently by soldiers them selves lastesd of by civilian labor, as haa always been the custom before v Thus the British army authorities are depriving men of work in order that they may be forced to enlist. Irish (.boat Appears. The ghost of an Irish giant, nine feet high, has been vex'ng the Inhabitants of j Glanvllle. a little village near lisiway. ana the people of Oalway city have been trying to lay It. A few nights ago a couple of young men were returning to their home In Oalway from a party at Newcastle, at which It la said there were spirits" of a different kind, when they saw the form of a man about nine feet tall advancing towards them along the railway line. They shouted and the apparition vanished, but reappeared a few minutes later about forty ysTda down the line, and they last saw It making , off in the direction of Lough Corrlb. The young men brought the story Into Oalway and the r it night a strong party, armed with slut-guns nnd revolvers, and oiherats fortif.ed. stsrted for Glanvllle. They had not been long In waiting when the ghost appeared and one of the party raised a revllver to fire at It. He never fired the shot, hia-ever. for the revolver fell from his hand and he fell unconscious In the arms of Ms companions.
