Dublin, Jan. 6.-The wage question
combined with the check on business
due TO the destruction OF railways
threatens to reduce ireland to chaos.
The Great Southern Railway, 1relands
largest line, having failed to induce
the workers to accept a cut in their
wages of three shillings, six pence
week. served notice on the government
that after January it would cease run
ming as its expenses were falling short
of its revenues by II, 900 pounds week.
Every day sees destructio' on some
part of its system by irregulars and
traffic over the greater part OF south
ern Ireland has. become a risky adven-
ture.
, The government could not afford 70
leave 50 large territory entirely I'M
provided with railway facilities, the
absence of which would ruin many
towns. and announced its willingness
TO furnish sufficient funds to bridge
the gap between expenditure and reye-
nue. on condition that it took over the
control of the Great Southern, but that
it would pay no dividends on the COM
pany's stock. This provoked a panic
on the stock exchange and railway
shares were thrown on the market for
what they would fetch.
Creates Grave Situation.

small investors and as the large holders

Irish -four millers, pressed BY Amer
lean competition, have announced a cut
in wages of 20 per cent on the pres
ent weekly wage of g. shillings. This
has been refused by the men, the con-
ferences have broken down and If the
dispute is not adjusted every flour mill
in the Irish Free State will be Obliged
to close. In the provinces some CT the
newspapers have ceased publication in
consequence of wage disputes with the
printers and this difficulty may soon
extend to Dublin. There are already
100000 unemployed in the Irish Free
State. and if the present conditions
last this number may speedily be dou-
bled.
The war atmosphere is killing trade

and hence there is n passionate desire
for peace at almost any price. The
latest proposal is for a six months truce
pending a general election and the stor-.
ing meanwhile OF all arms under guard
agreed on by both sides, all prisoners
TO be released once the arms are stored
and the press censorship to be abolished.
This proposal meets no support on the
side of the government. though it is
prominently featured in newspapers
which back the Free State.
An amazing feature of the Irish situ-
alton is the readiness of the hnrassed
people to pay all their taxes. Despite
Dublin's troubles its citizens within the
past year have paid up 9S per cent Of
their taxes.

General Healy before his appointment

governments offer and make a fresh
struggle TO keep going.
But the wage question, which affects
all the lines. remains unfaced. Irish
railway workers are receiving higher
wages than in Britain and the same IS
true OF most Of the other workers. Dub
lin has made a promising attempt at
shipbuilding, but as the wages here are
50 per cent higher than on the Clyde,
competition is impossible, and it is
feared that this industry must be dis
continued.

NEAR-EASTERN ATROCITIES

A recent communique issued by the Turkish dele
CATION at Lausanne the Greeks of conflscat
ing all the farms belonging to Moslems in Crete, and
says that the Turkish residents in the hills fearing
massacre have fled to the cities and dying there of
hunger.
All this sounds strangely familiar 1t is natural to
suspect the veracity of any statement from Turkish
sources vet it may be And true false, it repre-
sents the Greeks doing in Crete precisely what the
Turks have done far bigger scale in Asia Minor
and on occasions in the Balkans They were
accused of massacring Turks when their army first
entered Smyrna.
Sometimes an American reader really wonders
whether there is much to choose between the
hostile races in that whirlpool of human rivalry and
hatred at the eastern end of the Mediterranean 1t IS
natural pity them ALL dstrust them ALL and rejoice

Fights Bringing
Tsetse Flies From,
Southern Africa

An effort is being made by the
Federal Horticultural Board to
head of the importation from
Africa of a number of living
tsetse flies. believed to be the
carriers of African sleeping sick
ness.
DR.. c. L. Marlatt, chairman Of
the board, said today that action
was begun after attention had
beer called to a communication
from a collector of wild animals
= in Africa, saying he proposed to
bring some of the flies into the
United States, but wanted no
publicity given to his proposal.
He said there would be no dan
ger. as he proposed to keep the
flies alive on the way on his own
blood, and perhaps thus to propagate
them and. therefore, could guaran-
tee that they were non-infected.
Horticultural Board officials
said II might prove to be easily
possible to introduce and estab-
lish the fly in the tropical and
subtroplcal parts of the western
hemisphere and the presence of
any man or animal affected with
the sleeping sickness would COM
plete the vicious circle. Under the
law the Department of Agriculture
can prevent importation OF insect
pests.

An intensive campaign to wipe

and having whisky in his possession,

charges.
Attorney Collins gave notice OF his
iatention to ask for bill OF excep-
tfons for a writ Of error from the

peals for a review OF the case.
The motion for the new trial was
largely based upon the contention
that the jury was illegally consti

originally drawn by the jury COM
mission and serving had been per-
emptoriiy dismissed by Judge Har-
Olson and later reinstated on the
jury.
woodson was a codefendant with J.

made July 4, 1922. Holmes was ac-
quilted, while Woodson was convict
ed by the jury after a four days
trial.
