Richard Croker, the former Tam
many leader, on his way to Palm
Beach for the winter. arrived here
yesterday with his wife on the Cunard
liner Carmania, which had been in
collision with the Maryland a week
ago off Halifax
Mr.. Croker expressed much interest
in the traction situation of the greater
city and asked if the companies con-
trolling the street railways had in
creased the wages of their employees.
When informed that they had he said
1t was reasonable and perhaps neces-
sary that they should increase the
fares.
"Well, | see that the people of the
United States have been stuck for
prohibition" he said, land it is all
dead wrong. Prohibition is an out
rage. America may be the land Of the
free, but it is also the home of pro-
hibiton''
Irish Freedom Discussed
Mr.. Croker said 80 per cent of the
Irish people were desirous of freedom
from English rule and that it was only
right that Ireland should have her
independence
The former Tammany leader had
hardly expressed himself on the Irish
situation when Sir Hugh McCalmont.
member of the National Alliance of
Ireland, said that only handful of
agitators in Ireland were anxious for
freedom.
