Irish ReprisalS

Drastic action has been taken by the Irish Free State to

mistaken policy with these fanatics.
The Irish people, by overwhelming majority of votes,
decided to become free state with equal status with
other members in the British commonwealth of free nations
Less than two percent of the popace back up the mpos

other SO percent this privilege Reluctance the part OF the
newly established government to resort to reprsas embod

Citizens commandeered for the work of vandalism and

William T. Cosgrove president of the Irish Free State
says that "a lying vicious propaganda was set up, over

Communications sent to America magnng and lbeng

Ask Preference

II is stated that a number Of unemployed Salem and
Portland girls who dependent work for living Will
make demand upon the legislature that preference be given
them married in the employment OF clerks and
stenographers.
1t will be interesting to watch the result The chances are
that their protests will go unheeded and legislators continue
employ clerks their wives relatives and friends, who
nothing about the work except how to draw salaries
The customary loud protestaons of were made
by these legislators before election but is safe hazard
that economy will not govern the employment Of stenograp
ers clerks and that most of the positions will continue to
be Fully half of those employed in an ordinary
session could be dispensed with without handcappng the
work in hand.
There abundant opportunity for the legislature to make
good its pledges to eliminate waste and effect saving to
taxpayers but the chances all in favor of continuation
of the old graft that has dsgraced session since
the memory of runneth not to the contrary.
Preference should be given single not only by the
legislature but by other employers Many of the positions
about town filled with married who have their
husbands to provide for them but who want money
for autos and movies who dislike housekeeping and keep
those who dependent their work for livelihood
who have others dependent upon them out Of employment

CHRISTMAS FRUIT AND
PRODUCE MARKET SLOW

Chicago, Dec. 20-Liberal supplies
of Christmas fruits and vegetables
have resulted in the usual pre-hoh-
day activity being not so apparent
this year, according to the weekly
fruit and vegetable review OF the
bureau Of agriculture economics,
made public today. Cold weather
reduced shipments of potatoes and re
suited in price increases but gener-
ally the markets are literally sup
piled and Chicago was about the
only center to show price ineieas
on most commodities.
Potatoes rose to $1.1o on bulk and
sacked northern whites, while Idaho
russets reached $1.25 hdndre3
pounds at Chicago. Eastern markets
showed gains of to Is cents.
Shipments of lettuce, spinnage and
cauIiflower increased considerably
