IRISH VEXED WHEN
 POLICE CHIEF GOES
Take Exception to British Action in Discharsin@ Sir Joseph Byrnc
 in Dublin.

Dublin, Feb. 20.-DiSIniSSal of Sir Joseph Byrne, the inspector general of the Royal Irish Constabulary, has provoked an outcry in all sections of the Irish press.
 Sir Joseph has been at the head of the police since the Irish rebellion, and has administered all the police measures taken to suppress the Sim Fein party. His friends say that he has never disobeyed any government order given him. Nevertheless his dismissal is treated as if it were the sacrifice of 8 popular official.
 It is no secret that he disagreed with the government on the question Of enforcing conscription for the army last year, and reported strong Iy against the possibility of it's being carried out. There is reason to sup pose also that fhe various measures lately taken LoT the protection of the police. t;-e arnling them with bombs and so forth. seemed to him more likely to make the position of the police difficult and dangerous.
 The explanation of the dismissal most widely current is that the gov erIlment contemplates further meas ures which would make the police still more of 8 military force, and possioty asSoc1a1e SoiQlerS "lth lnehi in the execution of their duties, and that Sir Joseph Byrne disapproved-
 Among the few supporters of the government the opinion prevails that the dismissal is due to disIppointment Of the government at the failure of the police in the past three years to prevent, detect, and secure the pun ishn1ent Of crime. Crime, they say, has increased, and none of it is de tected. Nobody has been punished for any Of the outrages that have taken place, and the identity of their authors remains a mystery.

to the public to maintain class Of
mechanics in our organization who
can be relied upon to erect, inspect
and repair elevators promptly and
efficiently. The only way we can keep
them in Washington is by assuring
them wages that are at least nearly
as high as those in other cities.
