I he surprising thing about such people is that they expect us to believe thai they are our best types of true Amor- icans. As n matter of fact the atti tude of these worthies is much t be same as was that of the now despised Tories of 144 years ago. , "De Valern, the Irish patriot, is doing only what Wasb'.-uKton and his .compatriots did in 1770. He is en deavoring to secure for his country those 'inalienable rights" which we call liberty. "Those who denounce De Valera as a traitor to the king, would, no doubt, have denounced Washington as a traitor to the same authority and branded Franklin as an enemy of civ ilization because, forsooth, he went abroad urging recognition of the in fant republic which 'the mother coun trv' was determined to crush." - . .. ...

Conttnorf From race One city employes not otherwise classified are not organized cither into labor unions or protective associations. They may be classified as nonunion. The total amount of increased wages asked of Councils exceeds $2,000,000. In almost every instarce trades are specified with the increased amounts de manded. With some of these it is re qriested that certain of the city's work men may be paid "the prevailing union iate." Another request is that the method of, pay be fixed at a per annum instead olj per diem rate. The increase ranges from 20 to 32 per cent over the exist ing pay. The increase applies only to employes now in receipt of salary or wages amounting to $2000 or less per annum. The Firemen's Union asks an iucrease of $300 per annum for all members of the department, from battalion chief to hosemen, inclusive. In their request for increased pay the members of Firemen's Union No. 22 direct attention to the following fact : The continued introduction by man ufacturing plants of all kinds of safety methods has opened to trained firemen the opportunity of securing many important positions' which come because of their experience, training nnd discipline, with the possibility of the department losing its most valu able men. These men of experience and ability were developed in this bureau, and if their services are de sired elsewhere it is to the best in terest of the citizens at large thnt proper inducements be made to retain them.

During the mayoralty campaign that has just closed both Mr. Moore and Judge Patterson expressed themselves in favor of increased pay for firemen and rollcemen. These expressions were at once in good faith accepted by the employes named, as well as by others who were not specifically named.
