Dublin, Jan. 7.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. 1.-The party whip of the
section of the Dali headed by Arth-
ur Griffith, in favor of the ratifi-
cation of the Anglo-Irish %Teaty es-
timated at $50 o'clock this after
noon that out of 122 votes the sup
porters of the treaty would secure
So, or majority of four.
Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 7.-(By the
Associated Press. AT the begin
ming of tOday's session of the Dali
Eireann, Spea ker John MacNein
read a motion propered by him
self calling on the Dali to affirm
that Ireland is sovereign state, de-
irving it's authority from the will
of the people. The motion would
provide that all of Ireland's inter-
national relations must be govern
ed by this status.
1t is expected the motion will be
put through if the treaty is Fati-
fed. Following the reading of the
motion Harry Boland arose to
speak against the treaty.
He asked for a vote of thanks
for 'the magnificent support Amer
better than Michael Collins, Boland
declared, that there were 5000 men
in America eager 10 fight for IKe-
land, and that many such men had
come back to ireland and fought
yaliantly. Il
Americans Favor Treaty. n
BoIand said that he would have
to admit that sentiment in America
favored the treaty, but many sub
scribers to the Irish loan would
regard adoption of the treaty as q
betrayal of their sympathy and
support He declared acceptance ce
the treaty would be suicide for Ire
land.
Joseph McGrath. of Dublin, fol-
lowed in support of the treaty. He
created a sensation by stating that
when he and holland went TO Gair-
loch, Scotland, on their last trip as
messengers in the negotiations with
Prime Minister Lloyd George. Boil
and told him he was going to Amer
ica on behalf Of canon de Valera,
to prepare the people Of America
to accept something short Of 6, re-
public"
Replying to McGrath, de Valera
said that because he wanted 10 be
honest with the American people
he had told Boland to let them
know he could not secure the ''iso-
lated republic" which was Ireland 3
ideal, but that his external associ-
alton plan would give Ireland com
plete independence.
Raxrrat Ia Ealara Aet
Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 7.-tBy the
Associated Press.) Acute sus-
pense and anxiety over the chances
for peace prevailed in Ireland to-
day as the result of Eamonn de Val
era's unexpected action yesterday
in resigning as president Of the
Irish republic.
Few among the Irish people are
willing to doubt the sincerity Of
his action, but the. general regard
for him does pot prevent many ez-
pressions of regret at his course.
In the view OF supporters Of the
peace treaty, his action has seri-
ously imperiled the chances tor
peace.
It is the opinion Of several mem
bers that a vote on the treaty will
be taken before O'Clock tonight
Alarm is expressed in some quar-
ters lest the wavering in the Dali
will now be drawn 10 Mr.. de Va
era's side, and the treaty defeated.
That acceptance Of the treaty IS
considered paramount, despite th4
general respect for de Valera. IS
shown by the comments ia the

merchant marine. The reaction to
this. it is claimed. vas SO pronounced
that the correspondent of the London
Post warned the British reading pub
lie that they would best lay off a bit
as the Americans were getting mad
and more determined than ever to
put the ship subsidy bill thru.
This accusation of British interior
ence has been emphatically denied in
British government and financial cir
cles.
If the subsidy is so powerful a
weapon in capturing world commerce
why should England resort to other
means which are both questionable
and uncertain? The subsidy people
apparently are whistling to keep up
their courage.

WRESTLING THRU THE WOODS

Advocates OF a ship subsidy urge
that official figures recording a
gain in British foreign trade and a
slump in that of the United States
justifies their contention that if we
are to maintain a marine we must aid
It. just as practically every country in
Europe is doing, by government
grants; that IL we were not in a po-
sltion to carry the bulk of our own
goods in our own ships. the foreign
competitors would soon work us into
position where our export trade
would be curtailed to a dangerous
minimum.
The weakness of this argument lies
in the fact that we always have been
able to sell our surplus abroad with
out the aid of ship subsidy. 1t
might be added that this country has
prospered to a degree far beyond that
attained by any country that subsi-
aizes its industries.
True, we subsidize our factories
thru tariff duties at times, but this
policy never has been more than tenn
porary. 1t never takes the people
ong to call a halt on it.
It Is being pointed out that "Mr.
Harding has displayed wise states
nanship in delaying the ship subsidy
measure until the public were fully,
informed in the matter. 1t is quite
probable that six months ago the
measure would have had no easy sled
ling thru congress. but the interven-
ng months have borne good fruit. 1t
now certain that several Demo-
Gratis in congress will support the bill,
Ind the attitude of the middle west
md western congressman has record
ID a decided change in favor of it,"
If the president had anything to do
with delaying the ship subsidy meas
ire he delayed it because he could not
10 otherwise. Those who profess to
zee a growth of sentiment in favor of
he bill in the middle west must have
Teen gazing thru a microscope.
Probably the greatest incentive to
upport of the bill, they say, came
when it was publicly shown up on the
loor of the senate how viciously
treat Britain was swinging her axe
n the dark to scuttle the American

This has been the most successful
building season in the history of the
industry, according to S. w. Stratus &
Co 1t is pointed out that an I'M
shated consistency of progress has
been sustained during each of the
past ten months. and its achievements,
attained in spite of many obstacles
and retarding influences, have not
been surpassed by any other depart
ment of commercial or industrial ac-
tivity in the country. 1t is a fact
worthy of note that building activities
exert a stimulating influence on near
~ every line OF business. and it rea-
sonably may be assumed that the i'm
provement which now pervadeS the
general situation is, to a great extent,
the natural outgrowth of the prodi-
gious Accomplishments of the building
and construction Industries during the
year. 1t becomes, therefore, matter
OF encouragement to all lines of bust
ness that the group of industries en-
gagged in construction work is in go
hopeful and promising a condition.
Attic retarded by car shortages,
freight embargoes and congestions,
the industry has continued it's pro-
nounced activities during October.
Total building operations for the
month are estimated at $500, 000.0 900
or a total for the ten months period,
January 1 to November 1. of approx
imately $4,000. 100000. Wages gem
orally have been advancing in the
building trades. Relations between
employers and employees are more
amioable and there are fewer disturb
ances than has been the case for a
long time past. The upward trend
has been in keeping with the general
tendencies in evidence in nearly all
lines of industry.

A WISH.
This is what I want to be:
Fit for every eye to see,
Strong enough to do my task,
More than that l need not ask;
Big enough to brave blow,
Disappointment's touch of woe,
Petty loss or sorrows touch,
Without whimpering too much.
1 should like to play the game
Clean of hand and free from shame,
Fighting hard, but when it's done
And the battles lost and won,
Coming home withott regret,
Leaving none that Bnye met
Who could say I'd failed TO be
ALI that honor asked Of me.
There are goals hope to gain,
But I want them free from stain,
Want to earn them in the light,
Want to make them mine by right;
And above the deeds ! plan.
First of all I'd play the man.
Tho for glorious crowns 1 dare
I would never be unfair.
This is what I'd like to be:
Kind and brave and neighborly.

Sixteen railroads have filed new
agreements with the railroad labor
board at Chicago. which reveal the
formation of as many separate organ
izations of shopmep. The transpor-
tation act. permits each road to deal
with its employees under any plan
agreeable to them. hence the sep
arate agreement plan costs neither
the roads nor their employees their
standing with the board. Under the
terms of these agreements the roads
surrender their right to ntigate in re-
turn for a pledge from the men not to
strike. In effect. both roads and en-
ployes thus agree to abide by the
rules and orders of the railroad labor
board when such differences as arise
are taken to the board for settlement.
The wisdom of this plan should ap-
peal to everybody. The roads are re-
lieved of the burden of wages fixed
on q national basis without regard for
wage standards in the region in which
each road operates, and the employees
are spared the obligation to bear the
expense of long period of idIeness in
support of campaign for wages fixed
by a central organization. They have
gained. by waving their strike rights.
relief from the possible cost to them
OF litigation started by the roads. If
the plan work successfully-andt there
seems to be no reason why it should
not-other roads and their employees
may be expected to adopt it.

A WATERWAYS DREAM.

1 In a recent issue of the Manufac-
turers' Record there appeared an ad-
vertisement of the Jones & Laughlir
| Steel company of Pittsburgh, on the
/ Ohio river, as a freight highway. The
! company makes a plea for a redou-
| bling of effort to interest the new
congress which meets in December in
the-redemption of the pledge made in
| 1910 that the greater portion of GER
| tain waterway improvement projects
be completed in 1922. These include
/ the canalization of the Ohio, the
| maintenance of a navigable channel
| the length of the Mississippi and the
opening of connections by canals be-
| tween these river systems and the
Great Lakes.
1t is pointed out that the failure of
congress to provide the necessary
funds for the installation of locks and
dams in the lower Ohio has held back
large volume of freight and ham
pered commerce and industry by fore
ing suspension of traffic during low
water periods.
If all the locks and dams planned
by the United States engineers for the
Ohio river were completed, it is
pointed out, that stream would con-
stitute a great trunk-line freight high
way 1000 miles long from Pittsburgh
to Cairo, and connecting there with
the Mississippi, would afford shippers
a low-cost transportation facility be-
tween Pittsburgh and New Orleans,
and between Pittsburgh and Mime
apolis and ST. Paul.
|. Were the job done, it is urged, great
tonnages would feed into the Ohio
trunk-line from it's tributaries, such as
the Cumberland, Tennessee. Muskin-
gum, Big Sandy, Kentucky, Kanawha,
Wabash, MonongaheIa and Allegheny
rivers, and the entire Ohio watershed
would derive immense benefits thru
reductions in costs of transportation
of its products and commodities. The
railroads. too, would profit as distrib-
utors between river ports and the in
terror. as has always been the case
where waterways have been developed
to full use.
This is an inspiring picture but if
water transportation is so fine thing
why was it not maintained? Time
was when several of the rivers named
teemed with boats. The railroads put
the boats out of business and there is
a strong probability that they would
be able to keep them out.
If the cost of making these rivers
navigable were not prohibitive the
work still would be of questionable
value. 1t seems generally to be over
looked that the beds of these streams
have been filling up since adjacent
territory was placed under cultivation.
1t Is inevitable that the filling process
will continue. Furthermore the flow
in some is not what it once was be-
cause 50 much water is taken for ir-
rigation near their sources.
