IRISH CITIES
BAD
HHN
Trade Profiteering and Union
Demands Prevent Further
Home Building
By DANIEL O'CONNELL,
International News Service.

DUBLIN, Feb. 26.-While pub
the rural aspects of the famine
situation in Ireland, it is little
known that the situation IN the
towns and cities is by no means a
happy one. @
In Dublin, Cork and Limerick
there is more unemployment today
than there has been for the past
eleven years. City labor burea US
are crammed every day with young
men in search of situations and to
collect their unemployment pay, or
dole, as it is popularity called.
Official unemployment figures
state that there are nearly 10000
people out of work in Dublin
alone, or practically one-tenth of
the city's population. It is estt-
mated that there are several thou
sand unemployed persons above
this figure who are pot counted, be-
cause their names are not on the
registers.
Much PrOfiteering.
This situation is attributed main
ly to two causes. Firstly, the
wholesale profiteering in all The
necessities Of life; and secondly,
the very unreasonable attitude Of a
section of the labor element. One
example of the wholesale profitesr-
ing now going on in the Free State
is that it is cheaper to buy Irish
bacon, eggs and butter in London
than it is in Dublin. The four
pound loaf of bread costs four
cents more in the Free State than
in England, while coal is practical
ly 100 per cent higher.
There are innumerable rings
among the shopkeepers to see that
prices are kept high. The baker
has his ring the grocer, the
Eaberdasher and the coal merchant
have theirs. and the public is
helpless against them. The net re.
suit is that there is intense unrest
among the laboring classes, while.
although wages are substantially
higher in the Free State than in
England. the cost of living makes
them totally Inadequate.
Strikes are occurring daily in al
most every trade and hrs ness. and
millions of outside capital is being
scared away because Of the chaos
resulting therefrom.
No More Building
High wages are preventing the
erection of houses. of which there
is an alarming shortage throughout
the country. Private enterprise re-
fuses to erect houses, arguing that
the high wages and the high cost
of materials would make it innnns-
sible to rent their buildings at an
economic figure.
The followers of Jim Larkin are
in many ways responsible for the
scarcity of good labor, for they re-
fuse to work with members of
other trades unions.
In Dublin today there are 10000
people living in one room tene-
ments. Practically the whole cen
ter of Dublin, except the princi.
pal streets, is one big slum.
