| | Report of the Socialist Party of Ireland |
 | | 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. |
 | | Workers' Councils are formed in all small towns and during the general strikes of 1918-1919 and 1920 these councils have taken full control of food supplies and kindred matters, in some cases ordering the British police (an armed force) to be confined to barracks. |
