The deadlock between masters and men in Dublin remains practically
unaltered. On Sunday a great Free Speech demonstration was held in Sackville Street, at which Mr. Barnes, M.P., without committing himself to the sup- port of " Larkinism," spoke with enthusiasm of Mr. Larkin's noble aims. The meeting passed off peaceably in the absence of the yolice, and efforts have been made in sonic quarters to interpret this fact as proving that the rioting was provoked by police violence. In this context we are glad to appropriate and endorse the comment of the Westminster Gazette. "The delegates of the Trade Union Congress had made themselves personally responsible for the conduct of those present on Sunday]. There is all the difference in the world between meetings conducted on these lines and those for which Mr. Larkin and his fellow-organizers were responsible."
