Great Welcome
to De Valera

The audience which gathered to
hear Eamon De Valera, the Irish lead
er, speak in the auditorium on Satur-
day evening was one of the most en-.
thusiastic gatherings in Portland's g
history; when every seat in the audi
torium was filled the doors were
locked and thousands were turned
away, says the Portland Catholic Sen
tinel.
Mr.. De Valera was escorted to his
place on the stage by a group of
United States. service, men, soldiers,
sailors and marines. in uniform, who
sat on either side Of him during his
speech, and who escorted him to the
Portland Hotel after the meeting. The
stage was hung with large American
flags, while over the speakers desk
was draped the green, orange and
white Of the Irish Republic.
Thomas Mannix, acting as chairman
of the reception committee, opened the
meeting, with short speech. Judge
P. H. Darcy, of Salem, introduced De
Valera, who stood silently facing the
audience, which had risen at his en-
trance while the auditorium rang with
cheers for several minutes.
De Valera's opening words we're in
Gaelic, which is always his custom in
opening meetings in America, he ex-
planned, to impress the idea upon the
people of America that Ireland has a
language of her own and distinct
nationality.
One of the features of the meeting,
which called forth prolonged applause.
was the introduction by De Valera of
an election map showing by what an
overwhelming majority the people of
Ireland voted for a republic.
He emphasized the fact that the
Irish republican movement is not a
religious one by stating that among
the leaders of Irish nationalism, from
Wolfe Tone and Robert Emmett to the
present, have been Protestants.
In speaking of the part the people
of Ireland took in the late war. DE
Valera compared the British statistics

Full Official Report Of Service STU
dents Shows Careful Selection and
Wide Distribution Of Scholar
ships-To Cost a Million
Dollars.

In their official report of their edu-
cational movement for ex-servioe men,
the Knights of Columbus show that
out of total of 5000 applications for
the 100 scholarships they offered last
August to veterans of the war, 967
applicants qualified for preliminary
examination. Applications were re-
ceived from every state in the Union.
Over 100 came from men in France,
and one from an American soldier in
Germany. The Knights increased the
number of scholarships from 100 to a
number sufficient to accommodate the
men who passed the entrance exami-
nation set by the institution they de.
sired to enter. OF the 967 over 800
qualified; 284 are now in school and
others will be placed. It is expected
that the final roster of X. of G. ex-
service scholars will contain between
$50 and $50 names.
Not one of the men selected by the
Knights had other prospects Of re-
ceiving higher technical or academic
education. The knights provide them
with tuition, board and lodging and
books. In cases where the men live
off campus they are allowed $50 per
month for living expenses, sum in
excess of that given by most large
endowments.
The bulk of the applicants selected
technical courses in engineering, min.
ing, agriculture, etc. They have been
placed in these numbers: Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology, "A; Uni,
versity of Pennsylvania, 26; Univer.
sity of Illinois, 80; Georgetown For.

the others are distributed according to

The scholars come from all states
- the Union, New York leading with
81, Massachusetts having 40, Pennsyl-
vania %, Connecticut 1S, New Jersey
Is, Indiana IA, Louisiana 8, Missouri
z, Minnesota 6, and California s. While
the knights asked no questions con-
cerning religious affiliations of appli-
cants, all denominations are represent
ed among the scholars. Catholics be-
ing less than so per cent of the total.
The names of scholars attending one
college are typical. Brooklyn poly
technic has Barrett, Norwig, Finkel-
stein, O'Brien and Perlstein.
It is estimated that the cost of Civ.
ing these men a full course will be
oyer $1,000,000. These scholarships,
with the K. Of G. demobilized mems
technical schools now operated by
scores Of K. of G. subordinate coun.
ellis, will bring the expenditure for
the Knights educational branch Of re-
construction work into multiple mil
lions. The knights have no strings
cn the students excepting they must
keep abreast with studies. Many foot
ball and other athletic stars are num-
bered among them, including Captain
Tim Callahan of Yale. President Had.
LEY Of Yale has described the plan as
IAN admirable work Of reconstruc-
tion" and President Ira N. Hollis Of
Worcester Polytechnic congratulated
the knights for "going ahead without
red tape and without imposing all

sors. has-thanks to the firmness Of
the government, the force Of public
opinion, and the good sense Of the
workers themselves-been brought to
a conclusion. But the causes under
lying this startling upheaval have still
to be investigated. Until they are dealt
with, and If possible removed. the real
danger to the public tranquility will
remain. And it is to the investigation
and elimination Of these causes that
every effort should be directed.
It is now generally admitted that the
first charge on any industry must be
the provision Of living wage for all
those who are engaged in 1t. In the
case of employers Of labor. whether
they be the investors Of capital, or
companies or individuals, this living
wage has never been wanting, but has
usually been forthcoming, in very am
pie measure. But on the side Of the
employed, managers. clerks and man.
ual workers, only too often in the past
this necessary condition was not uni
versally fulfilled. Frequently It was
fagrantly violated and those without
whose assistance IN industry could
not have thriven or even existed did
not always enjoy living wage proper

has been aroused % never before, and
there are comparatively few h these

The Irish standard., 1919-11-29
The Living Wage

The question now arises: Is the
living wage thus earned and actually
obtained natural outcome of the in
dustry, or has 1t been made possible
solely by government control and by
a government subsidy which in the
end must come out of the pockets of
the taxpayers, leaving in reality no re-
lation of proportion to the earnings
of the industry itself? On this point
there is an acute divergence of opin-
ion. There are no ineligible statis-
tics available to guide man Of ordin-
ary intelligence to conclusion. II
may be doubted If the government, or
employers, or the Trades Unions have
any definite facts on which to base
anything more than surmise, sugges-
tion, or, alas, suspicion!
There is, unfortunately, much sus-
picion abroad on both sides.
Companies and employers declare
that they cannot carry on the hitherto
controlled industries II the existing
rate Of wages is to be maintained ON
their return to private management,
and they call in question the reason.
ableness Of the employed and suggest
that there are anarchical agencies at
work to enforce the unreasonable de-
mand. They quote figures to prove
thar cnntas.fiom
The employed on their side no less
definitely maintain that the industries,
II properly handled and directed, can
give an adequate return on the capital
involved, while continuing to provide
the living wage to all concerned in the
fructincatjon Of the capital. They too
quote figures to prove their point. And
they assert that behind the alleged INF
possibility Of maintaining the pres
ent standard Of wages there are reac-
tionasy forces at work, the whole aim
Of which II to thrust the remuner-
alton Of labor back TO the old level:
and, II possible, to break the strength

That there are anaschical and re-

of the number of Irishmen who were
available for service, with the number
who actually volunteered. "England's
own estimate" he said, "of Irishmen
available for service was 100000. OF
these men 25OOOO volunteered for SER
vice. America would have had to give
six million men to equal in proportion
what Ireland gave. If you had lost
as many in Flanders field, you would
be mourning in proportion to Ireland's
loss, three millions"
De Valera is man of impressive
personality. He uses none of the EN-.
bellishments supposedly necessary to
oratorical success, but speaks slowly,
deliberately and calmly. His voice
easily penetrated every corner of the
large auditorium.
Irish Flag Stays With Him.
Friday morning when the official
car, in which President. De Valera was
to tour the city, was standing in front
of the Portland Hotel, number of
men, several of whom were In uniform
with American Legion badges on, de-
manded the driver to take the Irish
Republic flag off the machine. With
out consulting the committee in charge
and to avoid possible trouble, the
driver removed the flag from his ma
chine and reported to the committee.
The committee in charge investi.
gated and found 1t to have been the
act of few irresponsible individuals.
The American Legion officials in the
Liberty Temple denied all RESPONSE
bility. and stated 1t was not the action
Of their organization.
The committee secured another ma
chine, placed thereon the Stars and
Stripes and the Irish Republic flag,
and carried out the program outlined
for the day.
The irish Republic nag with the
Stars and Stripes was with the presi-
Dental party from the time it arrived
in Portland, on Thursday evening, un-
til it departed Sunday morning at one
o'clock.

Irish Bishops Score
Rule of Alien British

At the banquet in Louchrea on the
occasion Of the conservation Of Most
Rev. DR.. O'Doherty, Bishop of Clon-
fert, Bishop Fogarty, in responding to
the toast of the Bishops, said:
To-day in ireland, thank God, we
at last can breathe the name of pure
and holy Ireland. Thank God, the
young laymen of ireland have the
sympathy of the young priests and of
the Hierarchy, and believe that II
the country remains steadfast we can
compel the government that rules US
with the rod of militarism to give US
our liberty.
"The fight for Irish freedom has
now passed into the hands Of the
young men of Ireland, and when the
young men of Ireland hit back at their
oppressors It is not for an old man
like me to cry 'Foul!'"
"The Land We Love-" was toast
proposed by Bishop O'Doherty. and
was enthusiastically honored. His
Lordship said that what he wished to
propose was the toast Of Ireland-of
Ireland free and Of Ireland glorious
and triumphant. All his life he had
been cut for the complete absolute in
