IRISH REPUBLICANS
MARCH TO MOUNTJOY GAOL EXCITING SCENES IN DUBLIN. DUBLIN, September 22. There were exciting scenes in Dublin when a procession of 7000 marched to Mountjoy Gaol following an Irish Republican Army meeting to protest against the Government’s denial of “ political treatment ” to the hungerstriking Republicans who are undergoing sentences for raiding a public house against British beer. A small force of police was drawn up in the roadway. The police drew their batons, but they failed to stop the crowd, which, with yells and cheers, rushed on until just outside the gaol, where they encountered another police cordon, which hurled back the demonstrators. The leader addressed the crowd from a lorry, saying: “We have come not to make a row, but merely to give hope and courage to the hunger strikers,” after which the procession returned in an orderly manner.
