aging 54 cents as compared with 42 cents for female employees. This was due partly to the fact that mems work was usually more skill ed, or heavier, and partly to the tradition of paying men higher rates than women. Wages differed even more sharply according to skill; the lowest paid job was that of the fe- male factory clerks, who made 38.5 cents an hour, and the highest was the die makers, who made 30.5 cents. The smaller plants usually paid less than the larger. Average hourly earnings in the highest paid plant were 30 per cent above those in the lowest.
 Three of the ten shops which were studied had abandoned the MIRA wage scale, but most plants still adhered to 1t closely. Women's wages had been cut below the code rates more than mems. Earnings were in general too low to enable the workers to support a family of five, according to a minimum standard of health and decency. Re- liable estimates place the minimum required by such family at $40 a week in this area, as compared with the average weekly pay of $21 in the industry.

Dublin, June IT. = CUP) - There can be no peace with Britain except on the basis of right and of just re- lations which demand that all Irish territory should be under the free, complete jurisdiction of the Irish nation" Ramon De Valera, president of the Free State executive council, said last night in speech opening the campaign for general election and constitutional plebiscite.
