100000 for Destruction Of
Property by Rebels
BY MILTON BRONNER.
NEA Staff COrrcspOndep mt.

Dublin, March l5.-Thc young
Irish Free State, once it has put
down rebellion, will have enough
other serious problems on its hands
In the main they arc the same prob
lens that all Europe is tackling.
FINANCES: Many. reading about
fighting, doubtless think the gov.
ernment has hard time getting
money. As matter of fact, it has
done splendidly.
Between April Of last year and
the 10th of February this year
date Of the last report issued-the
government collected nearly $l1O,-
100000. OF this, more than SIG 5,0OO,-
600 was from income taxes, $7O,OOO,-
600 from tobacco, liquor and similar
taxes. On February 10 there was Il
balance of $3,4O0,O0O in the treasury.
However. the government is fac
ing deficit for the reason that it is
maintaining an army of 10000 men.
Just AS soon as peace is secured,
this army will be greatly reduced.
Meanwhile money needed to over
come this deficit will in all proba.
bility be raised by an internal loan.
UNEMPLOYMENT: The last re-
port on unemployed in the Free
State showed 3s,OO7 out of work, as
cempsred. with, 81 .976- in the. SANG
period last year. OF these, 3O,4O6
were men and 1901 were women.
Dublin, the metropolis, has the
largest number, l.l85; Cork has
6,610; Limerick, 1888; Waterford
1877 and Wexford LII.
Many of theSe are drawing un-
employment doles from the govern
men similar to the practice in Eng.
land.
STRIKES: Recently more than 35
flour mills were closed by the strike
of 1000 employees who refused to ac-
cept big cuts in wages. The lockers
in Cork just recently came off
strike. Trouble is looming again in
the railway world because some of
the roads are unwilling at present 20
agree to wage adjustment boards.
In many isolated country districts,
when their wage and hour demands
arc not conceded, farm laborers
have adopted the policy of burning
corn and hay ricks.
PROPERTY DESTRUCTION: 1t
is estimated that upward of $780,
100000 worth of property has been
destroyed and the losers will look to
The state to reimburse them. The
state in turn will have to look to the
taxpayers to raise the money. There
fore. Dali Eireann at present is con-
a bill to limit the RESPONSE
Dility of the state.
The burnings have been fertile
