CONDITIONS IN IRELAND.
MORE TROUBLE BREWING. ? FARMERS AND LABOURERS. BITTER STRUGGLE PEDICTED. ’ Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn, j (Received June 26, noon.) v LONDON, June 25. The Times’ Dublin correspondent says that pessimists in Ireland declare that the civil war between the Free Staters and the Republicans was a mere curtain-raiser, preluding an armed struggle between the farmers and labourers. This is probably a gloomy forecast, but a fierce political struggle, attended by strikes and minor disturbances, is inevitable. Both sides are organising for the elections. The farmers’ leaders profess the utmost confidence. Some neutrals believes this confidence is justified, but fear the fiarmers will abuse their victory. The Labour leader is a member 0 f the Dail, a Scotsman of moderate views, unlike Larkin, but not possessing Larkin’s influence. Dublin should bb Labour’s stronghold, but divisions have crept in between the Larkinites and the De Valerites. A strong farmers’ Conservative party is likely to arise in the next Dail.
