FOREIGN AFFAIRS

During the first six months of the
year the guerrilla warfare between the
British forces In Ireland and the Irish
republicans" continued undated.
Murders by the Sim Feiners and re-
prisais 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 I'm the killing of soldiers.
The appointment of Lord Talbot. lead
ing British Roman Catholic, as lord
lieutenant of Ireland, failed of its eff
feet. On May % the Sim Feiners
burned the Dublin custom house, and
on June 30 they reelected Eamonn de

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Not 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, $7,100,0O0 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
.175, 600 men. Mr.. Wilson vetoed the
measure, but it was passed over his
veto. On February 20 the President
signed the WInslow bill, making avail
able to the railroads $370,O0O,O0O from
the government guarantee fund.
President Harding called congress
in extra session on April IL 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
Judgment. Among the first bills passed
were emergency tariff and immigra-
ton acts: new army bin cutting the
army down to 10000; and the budget
bill. On April 30 the senate adopted
resolution declaring the war with
Germany and Austria at an end: on
June Ii the house adopted resolu-
ton of similar purport, and the meas

signed the next day by President
Harding. Repeated efforts to pass a
soldiers bonus bill came TO naught
but soldiers relief bureau was ere
ated on August and Col. G. r. Forbes
was made its director. The house
passed both tax revision bill and a
tariff bill, but the senate did not get
around to the latter. The tax meas
ure was enacted into law on Novem-
Der 81.
Among other important measures
passed were bill to exempt American
coastwfse shipping from payment of
Panama canal tolls; bill for govern
ment regulation of the packing Indus

deficiency bill; the billion-dollar farm
exports credit bill; and various meas

ference Of state manufacturers asso-
Citations pledged support for the open
shop movement. On the last day Of
that month the rr'lway executives
asked that the national working agree
ments be ahrogated; 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 a wage 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 strike should be called on Octo-
Der So but nine allied unions refused
to support such strike. and on an
n0uncement by the board that 1t 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.
In the packing industry there was a
wage reduction in March and strike
was narrowly ayerted. In September
the large packing plants installed the
shop representation system and In No
vember, under this plan, the employees
consented to further reduction of 10
per cent. The meat cutters repudiated
this and called strike on Dec. 5. 81
/ 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 Britain's 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

The unemployment situation be-
came so bad during the summer that
President Harding called conference
of experts on the subject. 1t began Its
sessions on September 26 and. after a
long study, established a central bu-
reau and started local employment
movements throughout the country.
The resulting relief was but partial,
for business itself was suffering gen
eral depression.

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-
