Declares Plebiscite of Sol.
diers Would Stop War
in "a Hours

BELFAST, May 26.-Joscph Devlin,
Nationalist leader, came out boldly as
an advocate of peace by understanding
in speech at Dungannon to-day.
Don't you think" he demanded,
that the time has arrived when the
weight Of the influence of Ireland and
lrishmen the world over ought to be
thrown into the movement, already
strong in all of the belligerent coun-
tries, in favor of just general peace :?
If the question of peace were submit
ted by a plebiscite to the rank and file
of the armies Of the world hostilities
would cease within twentyfour hours.
Everybody knows that Germany's
position is as difficult and uncertain
now as it is likely to be two or three
years hence, and that even if Germany
were beaten to the dust it would be
just as difficult to negotiate peace. If
Germany, as she says. is willing to
negotiate now. is ii not crime against
civilization to prolons the war single
day, let alone for an indefinite number
of wears ?"
Referring to the voices of Lord
Lansdowne and others in favor Of
peace, Mr.. Devlin said:
"If the Irish race takes up the uues-
tion it can help it forward as no other
race can. If we once get peace
conference together, the question of
Ireland might we'll be submitted to it.,
since British craftsmanship has proved
incompetent"
Mr.. Devl,n indicated ne does not
accept the governments statement
regarding the alleged pro-German con-
spiracy in Ireland as at all conclusive
Of the verify of the charges.
~ am afraid the government, in it's
confused and panic-stricken state of
mind" he said, "has got German plots
on the brain. Arrests have been made
on wholesale scale of Irishmen and
Irish women on vague charges which
the government is unable to prove in
the only way in which charges can be
proved, and that is by trying the per-
sons before jury Of their own coun-
trymen.
"No ex-parte statements containing
indefinite and unsubstantiated evidence
will satisfy men of impartial mind, and
the Irish people will not believe one of
these charges until they are proven
before the only tribunal which lovers
of justice and fair play recognize"

DR.. Hornaday pays particular atten-
tion to the dangers arising from mis-
conception of the German character
"For forty years or MORE" he says
"the Huns of Germany went masquer-
aiding under cloaks of 'kultur' that
deceived the world. They successfully

danger of strikes on the part of those
employed in all departments of the rail

of the public which expected strikes to

to public utilities, had almost the same
disastrous effect on business as if the
strike had actually occurred
"The fact that the government has
set up machinery which will in future

the danger Of strikes, as all questions

tary of the Central Federated. Union

be widespread in raising the efficiency
of the American workman.

there is a PHI before Congress to give

Based on 1915 Paw

To figure the increase he will get
each employe should determine the pay
which his present position carried in
December, 1915, for if he has been pro-
noted or denoted his new wage is
based upon the 1915 pay of the position
wnlch ne now holds. Increases which
have accompanied promotions are not
increases in the sense of the new
schedule, since "the wage runs with
the place." not with the man,
Back pay due under the retroactive
increases will be sent to any man who
has been dismissed from the railroad
service since January / or who Las
entered the army or navy, but not to
an employe who quit voluntarily.
An important principle contained in
the director generals order is that re-
auctions in hours since 1915 are not to
be regarded as increases in pay. This
means that employees of the four
brothcrhoods affected by the Adamson
act are to receive additions on ton of
the increases developed by that act.
For instance, an engineer who made
50 day working ten hours in 1915 NAV
have had his pay increased to SIS for
the same number of hours under the
Adamson act. But for the purposes of
applying the new scale the SIS is con-
s1dered as 81 day of eight hours, with
|
quently, the pay will be increased on
the basis OF Sd day, and overtime WI
De PAID at the same rate Of increase.
on this principle train employees. in
cludingI members of the leading
brotherhoods, will receive apnrox;.

men also must deduct increases
granted since 1916.
Ihe recognition of the eight-hour
nasis, though important as a principle.
does not materially affect the scale Of
new wages granted. For instance. a
man who in 1915 received SO for ten
| nour day would now, get $4.23 for ten
hours, but this s4.2S would be con-
| sldered as 1898 for days work (eight

overtime When establishments are
made later, involving possibly extra
rates OF pay for overtime, the full
effect of the new principle will become
more apparent.
Mr.. McAdto explained that, although
the wage commission had not recon-

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-

THE WAR GOAT

If the hotel and restaurant men are
not for the Democratic party in the
fall elections there will be reason for
surprise in Washington. Order after
order m from the National Food
Director reducing everything but the
prices on the menu cards. Now comes
the limit to two ounces of wheat or
rye bread or rolls that may be served
to one guest at a meal. Nothing is
said about a corresponding reduction
in price. There never is. Will the
feed mills comply with the latest
quantity reducing order? They will
hasten so to do, but a Senate investi-
eating committee will never be able
to find any reduction to the diner in
the charge made to him.

THE PUFFED AND PURIFIED
"PLUTE."

Of course there vas a time, every
soap box orator told US about it, when
the public utility manager or stock
holder was looked upon as a pulled
and purpled plutocrat. He rode in
his limousine and drank his cham
payne out of quart tankards. He was
all encrusted with diamonds and his
wife was trying to reduce" But,
them was the ballycon days of the
old regyme," as a Cincinnati states
man once remarked.
Now, if you see a wan, shrinking,
shivering little man edging along the
dark wall of the alley and shudder-
ing at each strident sound-that's a
public utility man.
1t isn't exactly fair to advance the
dictum that all haggard, wan, pale,
shrinking, nervous men are of the
public utility brotherhood, but it is a
safe assertion that all and several of
the public utility owners, managers
and high officials are wan and bag
gard in these days of stress.
OF course, in those good old days
it was a perfectly proper proceeding
to cuss the gas man, damn the tele-
phone service and enjoy a paroxysm
of rage when the inter-urban car was
late. No more.
1t really isn't done.
The manufacturer of pink pills, or
beaded raiment, may complain if he
will, of the war stringency and its
whitening effect upon his business,
but he can advance the prices of pink
pills and make it harmonic with the
cost of tenderloin steak. Cannot the
gas man advance the price of gas to
keep step with bacon and eggs? Yes,
he cannot.
The prices of public service being
fixed for a term of years cannot be
raised to meet the doubled costs Gre
ated by the war.
