Murder in the Streets—Citizens Brutally Maltreated—Hired Assasins Endeavour to Kill Trades Unionism
BY IRELAND'S EVE.
Since I wrote in these columns events have travelled quickly. At the instigation of William Martin Murphy the Castle officials in Ireland who wish to tighten the yoke under which the workers have so long and feebly struggled proclaimed Martin Law and imprisoned the Chief.
Labour and Trades Unionism were becoming powerful, and those in authority were only waiting the opportunity to hamper them. The most unsurpulous methods and destroy tactics have been employed to destroy the past year, but all the efforts of the miscreants and tyrants infesting Dublin Castle, who planned the attack upon indefensive citizens which resulted in murder and outrage, can only stop the march of progress for a little time.
Twenty years ago the same faction were in Ireland. The people were bludgeoned indices mandated, and their leaders, Parnell, hassed with all the vitupention and insult that one could possibly conceive.
A gutter Press, similar to that one in existence to-day, was then founded in destroy the people, and it is a remarkable coincidence that of the founders of that surprised newspaper was William Martin Murphy, one of the Bantry gang, who at the present moment, through his influence with Dublin Castle, and those in created power holding shares in the Transport ways, has set the city in turmoil and had such desolation as has never before been witnessed in living memory.
William Martin Murphy and the permanent officials of the Irish Government are responsible for the murder of poor Nolan and for the outrages perpetrated by blood ruffians in possession with a lust for influence can never wipe away the stain or efface the singer which must ever attach to their names.
Despite the crill effects of the Bantry gang, Parnell has long been vindicated, and a monument has been created to his memory in the Capital City of the country he loved so well. Jim Larkin, like Parnell, has been defamed; he has fought and suffered in defence of the most despite trodden of the people, and despite the machinations of the capitalist cowards or calaminator, he will carry triumphantly the banker of Labour to the higgest pinnacle.
The danger whom comes from the weak-kneed and irresolute must be made feel in this hour of danger the necessity for strong and united action.
Larkin instinctions foul and loathsome as the human reptiles from whom they emanate are being freely circulated by our enemies, and being possible trick and devilry are being resorted to that Larkin may be destroyed for ever and incidentally the Labour movement in this country, and in this connection it is interesting to analyze the personnel of the combination acting against the labour leader.
William Martin Murphy owner of a paper many years ago, founded for the purpose of killing Parnell or "driving him as it explicitly stated into a lunatic asylum or the grave," proprietor of the lying "Independent" and "Herald" against which the so-called just Parliamentary Party issued a manifesto and examed behalf constituents: John D. Nugent warned his constituents a manifesto and warned their constituents a manifesto and examed behalf constituents.
Arran Quay petition, at first refused to sit at that he occupated had been before coming to Dublin, but who eventually confessed that he had been a process server, rent warner, and hog banger; John Sissen, that master of Chicangery and prison running; McInny the sabe bones and sky pilot; Richardson the unspeakable, the trader upon skulls and hopes and decomposed issues; add to these the dissolute and debauched, whom form the last rich, and the overfied, and brutal ruffians who comprise the Metropolitan and Irish (?) Constitution, and the combination of which Murphy is the mainspiring, is com-
part of a few members of the corporation who had the country of the corporation not a word at the time I wrote has been raised in protest against the brutality of the police, and it must give rise to feelings of obhorrence among all faith-minded men to note the action of Richardson, the trader, in endeavouring to kill in open Council the conduct of the police.
Now, my brothers of the A.O.H., why not know the reason for this? It would appear to me that the spirit of Christian charity applies only to William Martin Murphy & Co., and it is devoult to be wished that the workers in the city and country will not forget in a hurry the men who are now doing the work of the common enemy.
The Parliamentary representatives of the City and County who preached the doctrine of Home Rule; who tell us in season and out of season of that privace treasure, the liberty of the subject, have waited until the eleventh heart to endorse the action of the Corporation, but "Eye" looks in vain for one single word of condemnation or reprobation of the recent outrages committed by the police in the name of the Government and originally set in motion by their own nominee, Attorney General Morianty, who with Mrs. John D. Nugent Denis Johnston and other adventurers endeavoured to start a "National" Club in the City of Dublin. Crown Prosecutors, Castle hacks and men of that like founding a "National" Club ! Oh ye gods and little fishes!
How times have changed the "Eye" religion the period and the fact! "Eye" being seen in the company of Judge, Crown Prosecutor, Bailliff or Policeman was in itself sufficient to damn any decent man claiming the name of Nationalist.
John Redmond has changed all that and now our battle cry is to teast the King of England, the Aberdeens, including Isabel, Morianty, Swifte, J. D. Nugent, Wm. M. Murphy and the parasites who fatten under the patronage of Dublin Castle.
The workers must also be in mind that it was they who constituted the assembly which welcomed the Englishman, Asquith, and John Redmond some time since and also that it was they who constituted the present state of the country.

This paper has to seek inspiration from England. True, it quotes a very strong strite from the "Daily News and Leader" in condemnation of the brutality which is cardinal the conduct of the police, but not one word has the "Freeman" uttered in defence of the backbone of the country—the man who works and said considerably of speech.
The County Dublin whom have become a part of the police and the part of the police will take to a new "cant" and will repeat it at every possible opportunity. Mr. Murphy knows the real cause of the dispute here before the analysis, and he also realizes that in this he has taken eventual century, the attitude he has taken up cannot be justified. He mind off the issue and to delare that it is all due to some vague and immediate thing called "Larkinism."
The workers in the mean who are preserving their organization with fidelity and the benefits which they have already received are merely the prelude of others which are within their
