NINE ARE HURT. TWO SERIOUSLY, IN CITY BLAST Eight Workers Injured in Explosion of Molten Iron at Plant. BY FLOYD BAKER Two workmen are in serious condition at city hospital and six others are recovering today from burns received Thursday in an explosion of molten iron at the Home Stove Stove Company, 501 Kentucky avenue. Force of the blast caused injury of a woman who was hurled to the floor of her home nearly a block away. James R. Morris Jr., 18, of 1422 English avenue, and Prater R, Smith, Negro, 31, of 1445 East Nineteenth street, were injured most seriously. They incurred burns on the hands, legs, face and body from the shower of molten iron. Others injured: James R. Morris Sr., 44, of the English avenue address, father of James Morris Jr., and foundry foreman, burns. Lee Griffin, 34, Negro, 825 Ogden street, hands and face burns. David Collar, 23, of 562 Temple avenue, timekeeper, burns. Anthony Sauer, 62, of 2222 South Pennsylvania street, burns. William L. Ford, 50, of 4008’ 2 East New York street, lacerations by falling glass. Herbert Wright, 57, of 840 Virginia avenue, face cuts. Knocked to Floor The injured woman i3 Mrs. Ollie Silcox, 46, of 539 West Merrill street, who suftered a wrenched shoulder when knocked to the floor of her home. The blast, which buckled walls and the roof of the plant and shattered glass in the windows, was attributed by police to accidental leaking of molten slag from a cupola on to a puddle of water on the ground. Buildings within a block radius were shaken and window’s were broken. Morris, foundry foreman, said that nearly all the contents of the cupola had been poured when a small leak was discovered on the bottom. The liquid formed a puddle on the floor. Damage Placed at S3OO Morris said he grabbed a bucket of water and threw it on the molten iron to cool it. In a few minutes the liquid contents of the*, cupola had fallen to the floor, leaving a residue of molten slag, which dropped into the water Morris had poured on the floor. The explosion occurred as the water instantly w’as converted into steam. The tw’o Morrises, Smith, Griffin Coller and Sauer w’ere working near the cupola as the bjast occurred. They were showered with liquid iron and steam. Ford and Wright were in the shower room and were thrown to the floor and injured by flying glass from the windows. George Alig Jr., 3833 Carrollton avenue, president and treasurer, did not estimate the damage, which firemen placed at S3OO. Alig said the plant will be closed for ten days for repairs. MRS. IDA B.

PRINCE IN PERIL ON IRISH VISIT

Bitter, Never-Ending Clash in Erin Again in Spotlight

This is the Aral of two stories outlining (lie tense situation In divided Ireland, a situation Intensified bv the impending visit to Belfast of the prince of Wales. BY MILTON BRONNER, European Manager NF.A Service T ONDON, Nov. 11.—A peer of ■U* Ireland, the earl of Carrick, is going to Belfast early in November. No news, you say? But it’s news when that peer happens to be Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, prince of Wales. Though he is one of the most-traveled men of his time, it’s the prince’s first visit to Ireland. And the occasion guarantees a lively time for all. The prince is going to represent King George at the dedication of the new parliament house of northern Ireland at Belfast, where recently there was fatal dole rioting. The visit Is almost certain to rub enough Irishmen the wrong way to insure ill feeling. Belfast is planning the largest bodyguard for the prince that he ever has had. Police leaves have been canceled and every safety measure taken. The visit is expected to emphasize the cleavage between the two Irelands —Ulster on the northeast corner, scarcely larger than Connecticut, and loyal to the British empire; the Free State, comprising all the rest of Erin, insistent on abolition of the oath to the empire, land annuities, and a united Ireland. Bad feeling and even border disorders between the two states have been frequent in the past, and Wales’ visit, already protested by the Sinn Fein committee in Dublin as “the latest English act of defiance of the rights and liberties of the Irish people,” may bring real trouble. tt tt DEEP in the dark and bloody history of Ireland lie the differences religious, economic, political. All Ireland was overrun some 800 years ago by the same Norman conquerors who seized England, dispossessed the natives, and became lords of the lands. The centuries since have been one long, struggle by the Irish to reclaim that land. But absentee landlordism was worse in the south than in the north. In the north, lands usually passed into the hands of the Scotch, who were themselves Gaels, and kin to the Irish. Many Scotch Protestants, persecuted, emigrated to Ireland, emphasizing still further the preponderance of Protestants living in Ulster. Thus differences in life, thought and religion led through the centuries to a deep cleavage between Ulster and the rest of Ireland. There has even been bitter fighting, most famous of which was the battle of the Boyne, in 1690. William 111 of England, allied with Ulster troops, fought the exiled James II with French and southern Irish troops. William won, and since then, Ulster Protestants have flaunted the colors of William, and as Orangemen scrapped with the wearers of the green on July 12. Religious difference rubbed these wounds. Persecution of southern Catholics led to a bitterness against England which was not duplicated in the north. The harder the Catholic south fought against England for home

rule, the closer the Protestant north clung to England and the empire. t> tt tt ECONOMIC interests arose. The north developed industry, and Belfast, with its textile mills and shipbuilding, became a great city. But the south remained largely agricultural. Hence business ties bound the north still closer to England, and broadened the breach with the south. But to unite with the Free State in one single united Irish government, would make the six counties of Ulster a mere minority in the thirty-two counties of all Ireland. Every proposal by President Eamonn De Valera of the Free State for union has been rejected scornfully by northern Iceland. Thus it is that the border between them is closely guarded by Royal Ulster constabulary, who fear that extreme Republicans may get out of De Valera’s control and attack. De Valera, passionate and ascetic president of the Free State, has cried out again and again

against northern Ireland’s consistent refusal to unite. Hear him: “The political wrong that stands out from all others is the partition of our country. It was enacted, despite the protests of an overwhelming majority of the Irish people. “The area cut off was not determined on any principle of right or justice. It was gerrymandering, pure and simple. tt tt tt T TOW touchy the situation has become is shown by the firm measures taken by northern Ireland . when De Valera tried to speak there several years ago. The Ulster government forbade De Valera to set foot on Ulster soil, citing that his presence would be a threat to civil disorder. De Valera nevertheless #fent to Newry to speak. Before he began, he .was arrested (this was before he had become the Free State’s president). He was taken to Adavoyle, where the train from Belfast was halted, and he was put aboard for Dublin. Two days later he motored from

Sligo to Derry, and again was arrated and sent over the border to Dublin. On a third effort to reach Belfast to open a Gaelic League bazaar, he was arrested at Adavoyle, arraigned in police court at Belfast and sentenced to a month in jail. President William T. Cosgrave of the Free State graciously asked Ulster to release from prison his chief opponent for the presidency. Ulster was willing if De Valera would promise to stay out of Ulster forever. He wouldn’t. He served his full month in jail. In reply to a question the other day in the Ulster house of commons, it was revealed that the ban on De Valera no longer exists, now that he is president of the Free State, but the iheident throws much light on the relations between the two Irelands. Next—Problems of the Two Irelands today, and how they may be brought to a head by a prince’s social visit.
