Decorators And
 Painters Protest

The following letter from the Master House Painters and Decorat- ors of Connecticut is self explanatory
 "You must realize that history proves the fundamental of unrest in every country, in the lack of homes, and the environments in which its people are obliged to live. This condition is not alone menacing the ing the underlying principles of our government
 '"This communication is to call your attention to the principal cause of this condition, and to ask you to do your bit in trying to remedy It.
 'tNefarious methods as practced by building contractors who come from outside our state and who build on the so-caued cost plus plan are the chief cause of this condition. These con start building in your city immediate ivy get in touch with the so-called Business Agent of your town and ar engagements are made whereby the delegate is to furnish men but at a greater wage than the maximum stan dard wage prevailing in your town, and this increase has often been as much as 25 per cent. and very often B 1-3 per cent.
 You can readily see how this de- moralizes the standard wage scale of the whole state. It establishes a base price on which the people have to pay to build home or to pay for repairs on one they might own.
 ''This creates an inflated valuation on Real Estate, higher rents, restraints building operations in general on ac- count of the probationary cost, and causes business depression
 Captains of Industry, bankers, in surance companies, manufacturers, large corporations, merchants, mil HonaireS, newspapers, is it right that because you are able to pay, that you should establish a base price on which the working people are obliged to fol- low. Is it right that you should jack up the cost because it is your build ing or your job that must be finish ed without regard to the welfare of your civic community in general.
 With an understanding that this condition was not fully realized and with a desire on the part of the great majority of the people of our state

British Forces Guard Closely,
 City Of Cork

Galway, April 5.-In comparison with Cork and other southern coun- tries where the operations of the Irish Republican army are most wig orously carried on, Galway is a, fairly peaceful spot. This is also true of Mayo and the West generally, but mo- where in Ireland are the forces of the more active than in this city.
 One looks from Galway harbor straight out to the Atlantic. It is the nearest European port to the i United States and some day, hope full citizens will tell you, liners from fpation of that eagerly ly-awaited event, Galway some years ago built one of [ the biggest hotels in Ireland It is now being used for military officers, only one floor being reserved for ci- william trade. The stranger arriving at Galway enters this hotel at, the railway station, running the gamut of secret service agents who inspect arriving and departing trains and scrutiuize with great care every per son on the platform.
 The hotel is barricaded with barb ed wire like a barrack, and as the guest mounts the stairway to his room he is stopped by a sentry who examines his luggage But all this espionage is the usual thing one en- counters throughout Ireland.
 Sim FeinerS in Galway explain why the district is quiet The chief reason, they say, is that the people have been living in a state of semi poverty for so many years that they are easily cowed by oppressive meas ures. Second, having lacked edu- cational facilities, the young man hood of the country doesn't develop leaders of the ability required to carry put the work of the Irish Republican Army. Third, the topography of the country is unsuited for guerilla war fare.
 Most of the roads radiating from Galway traverse a flat desolate coun- try whose main features are rocks and bogS. The roads are like bridges built over a marsh, and if the pedes- trian leaves them he finds himself terrain is useless for ambushes-
 Outside of Dublin and Belfast newspaper correspondents usually have difficulty in seeing high police officials But Richard Cruise, dis trict commissioner of police here, has a cheery welcome for them. At the railway station the correspondent e-n countered half a dozen young London ex-soldiers, cockneys all, going home to ''Blighty'' after a years service One said he had been stationed for three months in Connenara, resting from strenuous duty in the Dublin district.
