TO RAILWAYMEN.
Mr. Lloyd George' made it quite clear to a deputation of railwaymen recently that the Government could not, dream of abandoning its elementary duty of protecting the lives of Irish citizens and officials.
Introducing the deputation, Mr. Thomas said it was probably the first tube any Prime Minister had been able to meet face to face of the north, representatives south, east, and west of Ireland.
They bad 20,000 members in Ireland, and the delegates were of equal representation from north and south, with Ave members of his Executive Committee, ap- TU|pointed by an all-Irish conferente.
