unchanged during the past week. The
government, as indicated by all the
announcements made, realized that its
task in clearing up the situation will
be a formidable one but has decided
to carry it through to the end There
is the difficulty of dealing with spor-
adic guerilla outbreaks conducted by

TO overcome such warfare requires
large forces and therefor there has
been brisk recruiting. The period of
service is fixed at six months, but
there are many of the opinion that it
might have been wiser to follow Kit
chener's precedent and make it "for
the duration of the war" Some time
will be required to train recruits, who
are to receive half crown daily with
keep and dependents allowances for
married men. The Irish government
is not getting its material and equip
ment from the British government for
nothing. Every rifle. cartridge and
car must be paid for.
In addition, the people are faced
with the cost of restoring property
destroyed by the irregulars or in the
course of the conflict with the Re-
publican troops. This liability is not
confined mainly to Dublin, as in Eas

Two Wage Cuts
Effective Today
In Lowell Mills

Lowell, July 1.-two new wage
rcadjuStmentS, one in the MaSsachu-
sets Cotton Mills and the other in
the plant of the LawroA~c Manufac-
turing company become effective to-
day. The change at the Massachu-
sets mills will be a reduction of 20
per cent. That 1T the Lawrence Mfg.
company has not yet been announced
but it is almost certain that the re-
vision will be downward. The for
mer concern manufactures denims,
chambrais, ginghams and flannel let
ter and employs normally about
$500. The latter manufactures ho-
siery and underwear and normally
employs about 1000.
The wage alter ion announce
ments at these two plants follow
closely upon a 20 per cent. cut at
the Merrimac , g. company last
week. The Mel imac company, man.
ufactures corduroys and velvets and
employs normally about $500.
During the past six months five

altered wages. Early in February.
the Hamilton Mfg. company and the
Bay State Cotton Corporation re-
duced wages 20 pc cent.
On the labor side of the situation
on the United Textile Workers of
America have declared strikes
against all mills named except the
Lawrence Mfg. company. No action
has been taken yet on this plant
since officially no inforamtion is OBJ
tainable beyond the fact there is to
be readjustment. So far the strikes
have not been wholly successful since
all mills are operating.
But three major mills now remain

Crops Coming We'll, Weather UnfavorabIe
 To the Boil WeeviI

Slight changes In crop conditions in the past week have been for the better. Weather conditions in tho New England states have been more favorable for having and farm work. Showers in the eastern half of the country, particularly in the more central states. have been beneficial to corn, potatoes, oats, tobacco and vegetable crops. There are still a few dry localities. the more serious of which is In the far northwestern section of the country.
 Cotton has improved and, while there are numerous reports showing heavy boil weevll infestation, the weather has been more favorable for checking this Insect. Texas and Cali fornia are reporting cotton in a very good condition. It Is estimated that California will make a crop of cot ton II per cent greater than last year.
 Wheat harvesting Is progressing rapidly and is closely followed by threshing. Yields vary great dea., ranging from six to thirty bushels. according to locality. Potatoes in the central states that had been suffer- ing from dryness, have been much improved and the crop should be z large one.
 Corn Is growing slowly, but Is in good to excellent condition. The weather of early fall will either make or break this crop. The fruit crop in general still promises to be large one.
 Conditions this week may be sum- med In the following words: All crops In an average to better than average growing condition in prac- tically all sections of the country for this time of year.
