ANTI-CONSCRIPTION LEAGUE, DUBLIN.
HC Deb 14 May 1918 vol 106 c200W 200W
Major NEWMAN asked the Prime Minister whether he can give the
result of his inquiries into the activities of the
Anti-Conscription League at Hume Street, Dublin; whether the
objects of this league are directed towards forcing Protestants in
the southern provinces of Ireland to sign a pledge to resist
Conscription; is he aware that Protestants are being visited and
compelled to sign the pledge under threats of being immediately
boycotted if they refuse; and will he say why a licence is accorded
to the activities of this league which was refused to a league
founded with similar objects in England?
Mr. PRATT (on behalf of the Chief Secretary for Ireland): I have
made inquiries, and I am informed that Miss O'Brien, of 11, Hume
Street, has invited Protestants to sign a protest against
Conscription, but I cannot find that any intimidation has been used
to force persons to sign.
