Lookingto HomeRle

The chief objections to home rule was
great obstacle to its operation. Mr..
Birrell has declared that not more than
score of serious boycottings have been
known to the Irish police for many
months.
Many Liberals gave pledges at the last
election not to vote for complete home
rule. Mr.. AsqUith, the chancellor of
the eXchequer, has said he will resign
rather than break his election pledges.
This does not mean that thers is dis
sension in the cabinet. 1t IL merely a
case of repdjustment Of view, and the
recognition of different circumstances 10
those dominating the situation when Mr..
Gladstone ruled the Liberal carp.
The Nationalists look with cordiality
to Mr. Birrell He is singularly broad
minded. magnetic, and good humored.
and all parties regard him as the bright
est spirit of the house.
He has promised to deal with evicted
tenants promptly so they may pc re-

Of his sympathies for Ircland-Jhat may

INCREASE SALARIES
IN REPAIR SHOP
Postofflce Department Ex-
plains Discharge of
Employees.

An official statement was issued at the
Postoffice Department last night rela-
tive TO the discharge of forty-one en-
ployes In the Mail Bag Repair Shop
and the reorganization of that branch
OF the department. The statement is
as follows:
The reorganization of .he Mail Bag
Repair Shop ordered by Postmaster
General Cortelyou has involved a com
plete Encouragement OF the salary basis.
Many of the employees heretofore have
been paid at piece rates and the plan
has been TO give all persons engaged on
a certain class OF piecework the same
opportunity for earning daily wages.
The result has been that the able and
rapid employees have been held back by
those unable 10 do the work with the
same rapidity. The earning power Of
the employees has been gradually re-
duced in the last ten years The re-
arrangement of work decided upon in
VOWED the reduction of the force. but
those that remained will receive much
better pay. In fact, almost every en-
ploye Of the Mail Bag Repair Shop will
receive a fixed and substantial Increase.
Under the orders of the PoshL-ster
General forty-One employees were
dropped. His order Of yesterday calls
for the promotion OF 14 employees.
which, as stated. means almost every
employee retained in the shop.
The fifty-two canvas and leather
workers, heretofore. have earned a
maximum OF 50 per day; this sum is in
creased by the Postmaster Generals or
der II $50 per day straight compensa-
ton That is 10 say. pioCewJrk does
not enter into the proposition. The
twenty-five women employed "a ma
chine workers have been earning on an
average about s. a day; they will now
receive S2.2J per day. The sixteen wom-
en- engaged as darners have bean re-
eeivIng about s1.75 per day; they will
also get s.
Very trying manual labor is required
OF the forty-eight male employees cIassed
as laborers in the mail bag shop For
this work they have been receiving $50
and SIS per month; the Postmaster Cen
erals order promotes them 10 $50 per
month.
The force employed in the mail bag
repair shop has been too large and often
tines the employees have been FUR
lo'!shed. The present plan contemplates
the reduction Of the whole force 10
practical working basis so that en-
ployes will be able 10 earn good days
pay. II has been a common thing for
employees to report for work in the
morning, work perhaps an hour or two
hours and tEen be excused for the re-
rainder of the day, being paid. however.
only Tor the short time they worked
II is understood that the work Of the
mail bag repair shop is very heavy AID
undesirable, so much so, that It is ut
terly impossible for infirm persons 10 10
