COhala1, Calls Pren,ier's
Irish Plan Unacceptable
People War,t the Right to Rule
Their O'0n Country in Their
Otcn Way, He SAYS

Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, of the
Supreme Court, recognized as spokes-
man for the cause OF Irish freedom, de-
c!ared yesterday that the settlement Of
the Irish problem proposed by Premier
Lloyd George in his speech in the
House of Commons Monday would be
Unacceptable to Ireland He said:
There are two peoples who want to
govern and to control Ireland-the
Irish people to whom it belongs and
for whom it was set apart by God him
self and the English people TO whom
1t does not belong, and who through
their ruling classes have been endeavor-
ing to get possession of it for $50 years.
That they have failed utterly to do
that, except to the extent to which
the naked rule Of force enables them
to hold Ireland with a great army of
occupation to-day, is proved by Lloyd
Georges statement that never was
British rule so unpopular in Ireland
as it is today
The people of Ireland want possess
sion of their own country to rule it
for thems elves and in their own way.
with absolute political and religious
equality for all the people of that
land and without hostility or animosity
to any other people.
Lloyd George, speaking for the rul-.
ing class, which he represents, said
that the secession of ireland from the
empire would be opposed with the same

Aldermen Renew
Fight g Over Salary
Increase of $1,000
Revenue Bonds for Child
Welfare Board Are Voted
When Republican Oppo-
sition Is Overcome

Protests were raised by many al
dermen at yesterdays meeting of the
board against the proposal of some
members to Increase salaries of the
city fathers from $4,000 to $4,000.
Opponents Of the proposal. which
was advocated at the last session of
the Board of Estimate by Aldermen
McCourt and O'Rourke, two Tammanv
members. said that the aldermen, or
most of them, were overpaid already
for sitting an hour or two weekly
forty weeks in the year. Many alder
men absent themselves for weeks at
time from the meetings Of the board.
Several of the leaders of the board
IN private conversation since the Nc
Court-O Rourke proposal came up de-
clared that of the sixty-seven members
not ten earned their salaries. On the
Tammany side of the house there are
some who have no other visible means
of support than their salaries.
The proposition came before the
board yesterday when Alderman Will
lam 7. McGarry, Of Brooklyn, intro
duced resolution approving the in

ng on It, said he was not returning.
so that he personally would not bene-
TIT, but hoped the board would see to
1t that the incoming aldermen receive
a salary commensurate with the work
they dld or were expected to do
When opposition developed, the Tam
many leader of the board. William P.
kenneally, moved that the McGarry
resolution be sent to the Committee
on Finance, which is considering the
previous resolution to increase salaries.
After two hours of discussion. in
which the Hylan administration. es-
pecIally the Department of Markets.
was attacked for alleged profteering
on army and navy food sold through the
department, the board voted Sl35, 900
OF revenue bonds for December allot-
mert to widows and orphans looked
after by the Child Welfare Board.
Aldermen William +. Quinn and
Bruce VI. Falconer, Republicans, held
that the money should be taken out OF

The Dublin press is equally doubtful
of the North's good faith. "The Free

rarlly suppressed, styles the Premier's
scheme "a political cynic's bad joke at
the expense of nation he has thrown
into chaos" and says it is a further
