at Waterford, where Eamoon De Valera
spoke, and at Skhbbereen, where Michael
Collins was the chief attraction. Mr..
Collins was accorded an enthusiastic re-
ception, the crowd being swelled by con-
ungents coming on special trains from
Rantry, Dunnlanway and Bandon.
The speech of Mr.. Collins was devoted
to a comparison Of today with last St.
Pstrick's day, when he said the enemy
was hamnlering us his hardest and the
hangman was so busy that few of US
expected to see another st. Patrick 8
day." What the peoDIe certainly had
not expected/to see, Mr.. Collins added,
was "our friends the Auxiliaries, Black
and Tans and British soldiers. sailing
away, and civilians or semi-civilians oc-
cupying Dublin castle.
Mr.. De Valera in his Waterford
speech declared It was "the saddest St.
PatricI1's day for five years. After the
Waterford meeting he went to Carrtck-
on-Suir, where a detachment Of the Tip
perary Brigade of the Irish republican
army acted as a. guard of honor. He was
accorded a warm reception

changing" said Mr. Warmer. THE cost
of living is going down. there is consid-
erable unemployment. Higher wages in
the coal industry are impossible at this
time. The public would have to pay the
increase, and it is not prepared TO do
so"
Mr. Warriner refused to estimate what
fortion of possible cut in miners wages
might be reflected in reduced prices of
coal to the consumer.
1T costs $5.50 a ton to produce an
thrac.te coal at the mine" he asserted.
Seventy per cent. of this is labor cost.
But, inasmuch as 80 per cent. of the
coal mined is of buchwheat size. and only
suitable for steam purposes. we sell it at
below the cost of labor, thereby losing
money on 40 per cent. of our business.
1T becomes necessary, therefore, to
make up these losses in the nut and
stove sizes which we sell to the individ-
ual consumer. That partly accounts for
the SIS coal you buy in the cities, and
is partly the reason why the total Of a
poss bile reduction in the miners wage
scale cannot be expected to appear in
reduced prices of retail coa'"

New St. Patrids

New Status Reflected in Cele-
brations Held Throughout
the Southwese-Gaelic Lam
guage Was Used in CeIebra-
tons.

LaDonn, March II (By the A. P.)-The
celebrations OF St. Patrick day through
out southwest Ireland were marked by
several features denoting the change in
the status of Ireland. The trooping Of
the Union Jack at Dublin CASTLE which
since 1900 had been an Impressive cere-
nony OF the name day Of Lreland's pat
non saint, TODAY for the first time was
omitted
Instead there was a troopins and the
blessing Of the republican tri-color at
Marlboro Hall, which was transferred
some time ago by the crown forces to
the Irish republican army. There were
present at the ceremony many members
OF the Irish general headquarters staff
including Richard Mulcahy, minister OF
defense. and Owen O'Duffy, chief of staff
of the Irish republican army. The
greatest of enthusiasm prevailed. The
singing of the Soldiers Song" during
the ceremony was a feature.
The general use of the Gaelic Ian
guage in the churches and at poIitica
gatherings was another striking feature
of the day. In Dublin the Only meeting.
held were antt-tTeaty. The largest O.
these was at Harofd's Cross. 1t was ad

ARTHUR GRIFFITH's NOTE
MEETS APPROVAL IN DUBLIN

Dublin, March 17-(By The a. PD-
Approval is voiced generally in Dub
lin over the note which Arthur Griffith
president Of the Dali Eireann, sent to
the ministry of defense yesterday in
which he forbade the holding of the army
convention set for March &C.
The intention has been evident Of sub
mitting at the convention Of the Irish
republican army resolution proposing
the formation Of an executive Of the
army, and the provisional government
offocials regard this as deliberate at
tempt to establish military govern
ment.
The action Of Mr.. Griffith is looked up
on as having again precipitated the IS
sue set aside by the recent settlement
Of army arouble at Limerick; by some
it is even considered that he has chal-
lenged definite demision.
John MacIntee addressing the anti
tratay meeting at Harold's Cross today,
declared that the Irish republican con-
vention would be held despite Mr.. Grif-
fith's prohibition.

Military occupation of Fiume has been
ordered by the italian government. The
