FOREIGN AFFAIRS

During the first six months of the
wear the guerrilla warfare between the
British forces in Ireland and the Irish
republicans continued undated.
Murders by the Sim Feiners and re-
prisals by the British were of almost
daily occurrence. The Irish were espe-
cially exasperated by the execution of
a number of prisoners convicted of
completely in the killing of soldiers.
The appointment of Lord Talbot, lead
ing British Roman Catholic, as lord
lieutenant of Ireland, failed of it's eff
feet. On May % the Sim Feiners
burned the Dublin custom house, and
on June 80 they reelected Eamonn de
Valera president of the Irish repub-
lie" Meanwhile the new government Of
northern Ireland was organized, with
Sir James Craig as premier, and on
June % King George went across to
open the Ulster parliament. De Valera
on July accepted the invitation Of
Premier Lloyd George to conference
in London, and truce was announced.
Then began the series of negotiations
that lasted through the remainder of
the year. Offers and counter-offers
we're made, and finally Britain prof
fered Ireland full status as a dominion
within the empire, to be known as the
Irish Free State. A treaty to this
effect was ratified by the British par
lament and submitted to dali cream.
Ulster was not consulted. but was
given the option of becoming a part
of the Irish Free state or retaining
her status. Angrily she chose the
latter.
Charles, ex-emperor of Austria-Hun-
gary. made two futile efforts to regain
the Hungarian throne. On March q he
appeared in Hungary without forces
and claimed the crown, but Regent
Horthy refused to step aside. Czecho-
slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania
modified to Illustrate the coup and the
allied council of ambassadors warned
Hungary that the restoration of the
Hapsburg regime would not be toler-
ated. So Charles returned to his place
of refuge in Switzerland. But he was

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

During the early part of the year
the country was preparing for the
change of administration on March 4.
President-elect Harding resigned as
senator from Ohio on January 9, and
the next day he asked that prepara-
lions for an elaborate Inauguration be
cancelled, feeling that it would be in
consistent with the urgent need for
economy. On February 10 Mr.. Har-
ding announced the appointment of
Charles e. Hughes as his secretary of
state-a choice that met with general
approyal-and on succeeding days he
completed his cabinet with these
names: Secretary of the treasury, An
drew w. Mellon; secretary of war,
John w. Weeks; attorney general,
Harry M. Daugherty; postmaster gen
eral, Will Fl. Hays; secretary of the
navy, Edwin DENLY; secretary of the
interior, Albert B. Fall; secretary of
agriculture, Henry G. Wallace; secre-
tary of commerce, Herbert c. Hoover;
secretary of labor, James ]. Davis. Mr..
Harding was 1naugurated on March 4
with simple, dignified ceremony, and
President Wilson, despite his contin-
ued illness, was able to be present.
The senate, in extra session, confirmed
the cabinet and number of other ap-
pointments, and adjourned on March

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Two strong tendencies in the world
of labor marked the year in the United
States. One was toward a reduction
of wages, as a part of the return to
normalcy," and the other was toward
the establishment of the open shop
Naturally both were contested by or
ganized labor, not wholly successfully.
The railway executives took the lead
in both movements, but had many fol-
lowers In January the national con-
ference Of state manufacturers asso-
Citations pledged support for the open
shop movement. On the last day Of
that month the railway executives
asked that the national working agree
ments be abrogated; the railroad
brotherhoods appealed to President
Wilson to prevent wage reductions but
he refused to interfere. By order of
the railway labor board some of the
working agreements were terminated
on July / and age cut averaging II
per cent was put into effect. The rail-
ways later announced they would ask
further wage cuts. The membership
of the brotherhoods decided by vote
that a strike should be called on Octo-
Der 80, but nine allied unions refused
to support such a strike, and on an
nouncement by thS board that it would
not consider wage cut requests until
all working rule questions had been
decided the strike order was Cancelled
On December / the board reconstructed
the working rules so that the open
shop principle was recognized.
The long existing lockout in the
building industry of the Chicago dis
trict was nominally ended on June ~
and Judge Lands was chosen arbiter
of the wage scales and working rules.
Nearly three months later he handed
down his decision, reducing wages 10
to 36 per cent and establishing new
rules and conditions The carpenters
had refused to be parties to the arbi-
tration and open shop conditions for
their craft resulted. Slowly but sure
" the other crafts involved were
brought to compliance with the
awards.
In the packing industry there was a
wage reduction in March and strike
was narrowly averted. In September
the large packing plants installed the
shop representation system and in No
vember, under this plan, the employees
consented to a further reduction of 10
per cent. The meat cutters repudiated
this and called a strike on Dec. 5.
There were many minor strikes,
most of them short lived. Samuel
Gompers was reelected president of
the American Federation of Labor
which held its convention in Denver
in June.
Great Britains coal miners went on
strike on March and for nearly four
months the nations industries were
near collapse. The rail and transport
workers refused to go out and the
government would not yield to the
demands that the mines be national
lied, so the miners returned to work
on June % without having gained
much.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Not a great deal of legislation was
passed by the Republican congress
during the last two months of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration. The
President vetoed the bill to revive the
War Finance corporation on January
2, and congress promptly repassed it..
On January II, $7,100,000 was appro-
priated for enforcement of prohibition.
The house decided, on January 10, that
its membership should not be in
creased. After much debate congress
set the limit of the regular army at
$4,000 men. Mr.. Wilson vetoed the
measure, but it was passed over his
veto. On February 26 the President
signed the Winslow bill, making avail
able to the railroads $37O,0QO,0OO from
the government guarantee fund.
President Harding called congress
in extra session on April II and nearly
all the rest of the year it was busy
with the task of redeeming the pledges
of the Republican party, with what
success must be left to individual

Heavy Taxes, Chaotic Financial
Conditions and Minor Wars
Hamper Recovery in 1921.
HOPE COMES NEAR ITS END
Washington Conference on Armament
Limitation the Most Important
Event-What President Hard
ine's Administration and
the Congress Have
Accomplished.
BY EDWARD W. pIckARD

Back to Normally was the slogan
of 1921, not only in America but in
all the civilized nations of the world.
But minor wars internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
in Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine in Russia and other hindrances
made progress in the right direction
slow, excepting. perhaps, in the United
States.
When the year opened the peoples
were grooming under the burden of
taxation and depression resulting rom
the World war. AS it drew to close
they were still grooming but had hope
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ington, where the representatives of
great powers were negotiating inter-
national agreements that would elm
mate some of the causes of war, es-
peciaIly in the Far East, and limit
the means of making war. In the
success of this conference and Of 9th
ers that might grow out of it lay for
the time being the hope of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms of the
treaty of Versailles resulted in con-
flicts among some of the new nations
created by that pact, and several Of
the older nations were involved in
warfare. Germany, working fast to
recover her old position in the world
of commerce, was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value of the
mark, and her leaders protested con
tinually that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity. Peace negoti-
ations between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to sue
cessful conclusion by which the Irish
Free State was constituted.

Back to normalcy for most of us
just means TO have our backs to the
wall.
A western paper has started
movement to have wives always meet
their husbands at the door when they
return home. 1t all depends or
whether they will meet the old boy
with a smile or rolling pin.
A fapper tells US she is just crazy
to smoke since the other girls-are
doing it, but she says if she is as
sick after every cigarette as she was
after her first one, she does not think
she can stand the gait.
There are times when we feel men
have got to the point where they
don't expect to keer a wife any longer
than they do an umbrella.
If the men ever go back to knee
trousers the poor husky fellows are
going to have to wear leggings all
winter Nobody but weak, frail
woman could ever stand to wear silk
hose and low shoes in zero weather.
The future baby will be rocked to
sleep. by motor while talking ma.
chine scratches out the lullaby. But
no modern invention will ever be able
to help to tighten the burden Of the
stork.
The man who makes a great name
for himself never has any trouble in
finding girl to share it with him.
