lathers, plasterers and master build
ers has not met as yet. The set
tlement of the union and the mas
ter electricians was brought about
by the union men agreeing to work
for So per day. Prior to the set
tlcment the men had been receiving
50 a day this the union desired con-
tinued, but finally agreed to the 81
reduction.
The difficulties between these par
ties has existed since May /, when
the union men refused to accept a
reduction of 81 and the bosses re-
fused to continue to pay the old
rate The fight between the two
finally resulted in open shop condi-
tions being declared by the boss
electricians: The settlement was
brought about at a meeting of the
bosses and union representatives,
held in the Builders Exchange and
was not submitted to board of ar
bitration.

FOR ALDERMAN

tield is not tagging as is proven by

pointed out that as the fourth ward
is largely the resident place of the
laboring class and as Mr.. MCGUIRE
represented labor in an official ca =
pacity for a number of years he
should be a strong candidate. There
are already two other candidates for
the nomination in the fourth ward.
they are: Thomas Grove and Louis
Smith.

has been a resident of the
sixth ward all his life. and received

friends predict his success in the
primary.

Crucial Period in England


LONDON. Aug. 15:-England to-
day faced a crucial period in nego-
tiations looking to the establishment
of peace in Ireland. The action of
the government making public let
ters exchanged between Lloyd

the people that a deadlock existed
and although the door was declared
to have been left open, it was ap-
parent the situation was one of con-

Reports from Dublin which NIGH
indicate what the republicans nigh

ed the next step would be made in
that city as Lloyd George laid his
cards on the table" yesterday and il
seemed D'Valera and his colleagues
must meet the situation.
Whether they would issue a state
ment today or wait until opening of
the Irish Republican parliament to-
morrow was uncertain. The purpose
of the precipitate action of the gov
ernment and the demands of the
Irish republicans. has not been dis
closed. but it appears the prime min
lister sought to leave the action be-
fore the people at the meeting of the
Dali Eireann.
The government terms were in brief
as follows:
Dominion status for Ireland with
complete autonomy in financial mat

Major John G.. Emery, national
commander of the legion, delivered
an address in which while paying
tribute to Marshal Foch's accom-
plishments as worthy of intimate
comparison with those of the great
Napoleon, he laid stress on the post
war work of the marshal.
THE world will owe him more
permanent debt because of his un-
derstanding that true progress is
made In developments of friendly
relations between peoples rather
than of strife, no matter how vic

Sim Fein and Dublin Castle quar-
ters as the result of the new turn in
the Irish negotiations, following dis
closures in the correspondence be-

Some of the members of the Dali

others have been fighting with the
Irish republican army and others
making their first appearance since
their release from prisons. They
were in all sorts of attire, but all
bore the same marks of earnestness

made public, while discussing among
themselves with great earnestness
the letters of the British premier
