Poor in Ireland
Suffer Privation

Dublin, Ireland, April 3.-While the
Irish farmer is prosperous beyond
precedent and wages in many trades
are higher than ever before, the con-
dition of the poorer classes in the
cities is in many cases worse than for
years. cat the present moment the
artisans and the poor in Dublin are
reduced to a state of privation that
causes a great feeling of alarm and
dismay," said the Lord Mayor at a
meeting Of the Corporation this week.
Members of the Corporation COM
planned that the work of rebuilding
the city which had been expected to
do much to relieve restitution. was
not going forward as had been plan
ned. It had not been found possible,
he explained, to import the material
necessary for the work Of rebuilding,
although the Ministry Of Munitions
had promised to facilitate it in every
way.
A deputation was appointed to wait
upon the Chief Secretary and impress
him with the great need of employ
ment, especially in the building trades.

the Convocation Of York, ''The foun-

rest our landlords are conniving at

DR.. Saleeby is pleading for the
adoption by government of a policy
that will encourage worthy parent

to be most urgent owing to the vast

been the immediate result of a new
regulation providing that passbooks
