CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 17-"Con-
struction is the key to general busi-
ness revival" Such is the opinion of
men prominent in all branches of the
construction industry who have been
holding national conference here for
the purpose of getting things
started" The general scope of the
conference, held under the auspices
or the Associated General Contractors,
was suggested by Herbert Hoover.
Large construction projects total
ing well above a billion are waiting
on the boards of architects and engin-
eers,' says w. o. Winston, of Mime
apolls, president of the association
I'VE want to convince America that,
through systematic elimination of
waste, construction costs have been
reduced to point where there is no
longer any logical reason for waiting
Release of pending construction
would be the biggest thing that could
happen for general good times. Econ
omic experts agree that construction
is the industry easiest to set in mo-
ton, that it is the industry with the
greatest latent demand at present,
that it stimulates other business more
quickly and completely.
1--WE have figures Indicating that
for every man set at work in con-
struction projects, five to seven other
men find work in consequence; either
in providing materials for construc-
tion, or in satisfying the wants of
those who are earning money through
construction payrolls."
The conference includes men prom
inent in building, in highway construc-
ton, railway construction and public
works.
Among the economy measures to be
reported upon are the letting of public
contracts in the fall, standardizing of
contracts, safety rules and appliances,
standardizing equipment and pooling
equipment to reduce the time in
which construction machinery stands
idle.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17-Allister H.
Mccormick, who was to have been
married on January in Chicago to
Mary Landon Baker, has sailed for
England-alone. The ceremony was
postponed at the last moment while
the guests were waiting in the Fourth
presbyterian church of Chicago. Mr.
Mccormick did not appear at all
downhearted when he boarded the
liner. and said that the wedding
would take place in March at Wey-
bridge, on the Thames, near London.
I have had a talk with her over
the long distance telephone to Chi
cago, he added, "and she said that
her health was improved and that she
was going to Santa Barbara, Cal. for
a Few weeks and would then cross TO
London to meet me. The sole reason
tnat made her postpone the wedding
twice was on account of a nervous
breakdown and because the doctors
ordered her to have a perfect rest.
She wished me a very enjoyable vow
age, and declared that she would be
IN england in less than three months" ."

IRISH TOLD
METHODS OF
GOVERNMENT
Delegates of Provisional Re-
gime Confer with Members
of British Cabinet Relative
to Responsibility.
FAT SALARIES STOP
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Details incident
ern Ireland from the crown govern
ment to the provisional administra-
ton established in Dublin on Satur-
day were considered here today Ea-
mon ]. DugSan and Kevin O'Higgins,
delegates of the Irish provisional gov
ernment arrived in London to confer
with members of the British cabinet
relative to the investment of the new
regime with governmental RESPONSE
bility.
Initial steps in the establishment of
the new provisional government of the
Irish free state were taken AZ Dublin
yesterday when a proclamation was is
sued, announcing the provisional gov
ernment had entered upon it's duties
under the trety with Great Britain.
The war office has announced that
withdrawal of British forces in South
ern Ireland will begin Immediately
and that the men will be moved as
rapidly as conditions permit.
Says Castle Evil.
The Morning Post, a newspaper
which has steadfastly shown hostility
to Irish home rule and has upheld the
principle of unionism today printed the
following dispatch from its Dublin
correspondent:
The provisional government will
make a great mistake if it does not
level Dublin castle to the ground.
There is an evil spell upon it and its
spirit is quite as capable of destroy
ing the Irish free state as it was of
destroying the union with England.
Certainly nobody who has believed in
that union would weep if the castle
should crumble to dust It's spirit of
lntolerant bureaucracy, the type of
politician that it harbored and the
kind of administrators it bred did
more to destroy the union than agita-
tors and treason-mongers.
Fat Salaries to Stop
When the exodus begins, the fast
nesses of Dublin castle will disgorge
high salaried officials who have not
done stroke of honest work in
years"
The correspondent intimated the
officials against whom he was writing
were in eollusion with rebels" while
drawing salaries and wearing titles re-
ceived from the crown.
1T is comforting to remember" he
concluded, that the men who did
these things, and made the castle
what 1t was, were Irishmen. 1t is less
pleasing to remember that their Brit
ish colleagues, though few, generally
outclassed the native officials in in
competence and Stunidity In nuhIin
castle, Great Britain gave Ireland her
absolute and insurpassable worst.
Had it been otherwise ignominous dis
solution would never have been the
fate of the union
