Radio Threatens to
Oust Song Writers
Chicago, March 11. Unless the
Wcstinghouse Electric company and
the Song Writers' association get
together in a meeting now in prog
ress in New Jersey, the latter cratt
are likely to lose their means of
lhelihood. : '
"It looks as if the radio phone is
going to put the ong writer out of
business," said Will Rossitcr, song
publisher. v"Vho rj, (toing to buy. a
song, when they'can heaVkltthe latest
creations over the phone or nothing?
And for that matter, who's going to
buy a phonograph? At present the
song writers enjoy a royalty for all
songs which are used in theater or
'phonograph records. 't heir idea is
that thev certainly should get one
from the radio people. . The Westing
house people certainly won't pay the
bill, , so I suppose it will have to be
passed along to the consumer. But
how are we going' to collect?"

Criybeard of 40,
Veiteiday I had for luncheon one
of the gravheards of Sinn Fein he
it nearly 40 who served one sen
tence of 15 months and a second of
three months after his escape; be
tween the two he had an interval of
semational activity. He is a solt
spoken, highly educated man, with a
delightful rne of humor and of gal
lantry, which led him to leave his
card, with his complinicntj, on the
warden of the prison when duty
called him to other service. This
shows that though he is so vener
able, he is.rcally young in heart.
The second time that he was taken
it was because the police, made ,
mistake. It was his friend," Michael
Collins, whom the police sought.
The police had Collins' address as
No. 4 and my guest was. in hiding at
No. 44 on the name street. One of
the two enameled Jours over the
transom of Xo. 44 had fallen off, so
this. house was taken for No. 4 by
the nolicc. who took my guest to the
police station, where he was identi
fied as the prisoner who had left his
card with the warden without wait
ing to say "goodbye" in person. My
guest was liarton, who was one of
the five Irish signers of the treaty.
lie and Collins often joke ahout tnc
effect of an cmancled letter 4 having
become unstuck upon their, fortunes.
Barton is sure that that letter was a
cood servant of Sinn Fein, as Col
lins could do more service than ho
by being out of jail.
Advantages of Jail.
Barton is a landholder, with a
Rood income and assured position.
He risked all for his convictions.
"Jail has its advantages," he said.
"One has time to think. Ones
habits are rceular."
So there was no bitterness about
the iail term itself. That was what
he bargained for. Gentle as he is or
speech and manner, when he spoke
oi the cause, a faraway look and a
fiffhtincr elittcr came into his eyes.
I have seen it in the eyes of the othef
young rulers. It comes only into the
eves of men who believe in some
thing so strongly that they are ready
to die for it; and it is in the motive
SDirit of the new Ireland.
At an adjoining table in the dining
room vas a military looking . man
who was as pleasant spoken" as Bar
ton. You could imagine the two as
feeling perfectly ('afc homc together
stretching their' legs before'the Same
grate fire. It 'js. very surprising to
think that either of the two would
want to put the other in jail. But
a few'-months' ago if the military
looking man, a British colonel,, had
identified Barton a proscribed man
he would not have finished his
meal before a policeman, had tapped
him on the shoulder.
British Authority.
' The colonel stood for the authority
of Dublin castle. If you go to the
castle today, a British sentry passes
vou on to the guardroom where a
matter of fact corporal sees that you
write your name and address in a
book. All in an easy, efficient Brit
ish manner. Then escorted by a sol
dier, you go out into the courtyard
with its gray walls, which stand for
the fountain head of alien rule to the
Irish, and then into a doorway and
upstairs', and through passages which
resemble, those, of the war office and
foreign office in London, and you
meet the'same agreeable gentlemen
whom you meet in other precincts of
f'thc British' government. ', .-
Aone of them has been in jail.
None has a glitter in his eye. All like
their British comfort. ,They do . not
like-to put educated landholders like.
Barton, or poor peasants' sons . in
jail; hut if one preaches sedition and
the other shoots your soldiers from
ambush, what are you to do if your
business is to preserve order?
'- They are not putting' anybody in
jail these days;' and the men vhom
they did put in jail are now exercis
ing the authority which was once
Dublin Castle's. That is the amaz
ing transformation which ' accounts
for all the contrasts in this city of
many emotions where you have to

The I. It. A. is the IrUh Republic
an army, The Irish never speak of
it as the Free State army. We think
of the Free State as haviag aeli
government in the same measure as
Canadar but if we are to follow the
parallel Canada would call her army
the army of the Canadian republic.
That green uniform which was
prescribed a few months ago is now
as honored in Ireland as the khaki
of the returned veterans of our fight
ing division was at home when they
returned from France. Other revo
lutionary armies which I have seen
come into power had organizations
in the open; this army .nad to be
mobilized from all the volunteers ac
customed to foregathering under the
cover of darkne.s for ambushes and
raids, and sniping at troops and
transport from cover.
Respect for Age.
Inside the city hall are the offices
of the provisional'government. Here
you will f.nd Arthur Griffith, the
nestor of Sinn Fcinism, who, among
the young rulers, commands respect
for his age. Ife will not see 45
again. He looks, like a man of af
fairs, this master strategist who gets
things done if he has not Collius'
forensic gift of arousing an audience.
The affection and team work of fath
er and son seem to exist between
him and Collins with his relentless
energy, his readiness of phrase and
all the attractive Irish qualities. Grif
fith's is the power in the background
that pushes Collins forward, as his
understanding and, brilliant disciple.

The mansion house is aUo a husy

British except on the basis of com

who are 75 per cent against the
