| | Report of the Socialist Party of Ireland |
 | | British labour, indeed, was rendered useless and helpless at the crisis by the social patriotism of the trade unionists and the Tolstoyan pacifism of the Socialists. |
 | | Many members of the Socialist Party participated in the struggle, some were killed in action: James Connolly, a wounded prisoner of war, was tried by court-martial which assembled around his bed, and placed in a chair, his arms and legs fastened by bandages to it and carried thus to the place of execution and shot. |
 | | At the moment of the insurrection, the British Labour Party was in coalition with the bourgeois parties of England, Mr Arthur Henderson, Mr Wm Bruce, and Mr GH Roberts being members of the Ministry, the first mentioned having Cabinet rank. |
