TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, July 13.-An audience of 50, ,0O0 persons, it was estimated, heard Eamonn de Valera, president of the Irish republic" appeal for aid and recognition of Irish independence to- day at an open air meeting held at the Chicago National League baseball park.
 The crowd was enthusiastic but some of the spectators indulged in hissing when the names of President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Sir Edward Carson. Irish unionist leader, were mentioned.
 Persons on the speakers platform, however, soon stopped these demon strations.
 Mr. de Valera expressed confidence that Americans sympathized with the Irish independence movement, and hoped that the American government would recognize the de jure govern ment" of Ireland
 Frank P. Walsh and Edward F. Dunne, members of the delegation sent by Irish societies in America to present to the peace conference a petition for the settlement of Irish question, and Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago were other speakers.
 Mr Walsh referred to Premier Lloyd George as the trick mule of Great Britain whose actions he said, nobody could forecast.
 Resolutions that congress be urged to recognize the Irish republic as now established" and to establish trade re- lations with Ireland for the benefit of American commerce and labor. and strongly opposing the league of na- tions were adopted with enthusiasm The league, it was declared, would impair American sovereignty and would imperil the constitution. destroy the Monroe Doctrine and would guar antee the world supremacy of the two remaining despotie empires Of the world-Great Britain and Japan
 The degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon Mr. de Valera at Dc Plaw University this morning.
 Tomorrow he plans to confer witt local bankers concerning the proposa to issue Irish republic bonds. At D m. he will depart for San Francisco.

 Ordinary seamen are given an in- crease of s a month, making the new scale $60. Under the new rate able seamen will receive sS5 a month. an increase of S10. Although no official announcement was made as to in- creases for other employees, it was. understood that watertenders, oilers and stoRkeepers under the order would have their pay increased from SS0 to. s5V, Hlehien lToH SiO Sto So0, WlpefS. and coal passers from $65 to s75, and. deck engineers and pump men from SS5 to S95. The chief stewards will receive increases of s15 a month and cooks and messmen s10.
 The wage scaes are based on the eight hour day in port.
 The order provides for creation of a. joint grievance committee in the prin- cipal ports to interpret to agreement and other regulations.
