SUPPORT or IRISH MEMBERS.
Leader Of the Nationalist Party Grants els .
Week More Probably Needed.
,o!s Ds,paieh 10 THB SrS.


LONDON. Dec 20 The leader OF the Irish
Nationalist party has fixed SIS week as
the regulation pay for Members OF Parlia-
ment who are unable TO defray the cost Of
living in London during the session out Of
their own resources While 1t cannot be
said that he has erred on the side OF gener-
osity the amount IL really sufficient for plain
living If they are content merely to lead la
borious lives for the good Of Ireland The
trouble is that a Roodly proportion OF the
Irish members require some little Injuries
which necesstate additions to these SIS
Some OF them supply political Information
to English ewspapers. Tory AS well as Lib eral.
and write Parliamentary reports and sketches.
The leader is credited with an intention Of
putting a stop TO this state Of AFFAIRS, but
he will not be able 10 do so unless he Is pre-
pared to pay more than SIS n week. and from
present indications his financial resources
will be strained to the utmost 10 supply even
that modest stipend or eighty odd Irish
Nationalists elected, there are about si>ty
who must have salaries That means $500
a week during a session OF six months. The
fund for this purpose which was recently
started In Ireland is growing slowly. and
II looks as II America would have to supply
the deficit because In addition TO supporting
the Members OF Parliament the party ma.
chnery in Ireland must be maintained.
