QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, February 8.—Before my feet had been planted firmly on the soil of Erin 1 had come plump up against one of the most aggravating problems besetting the Free State. / That problem, stated simply, is this: TNe men who fought for -the republic. the 100,000 and more mem- bers of the republican army, want tho government jobs, the 40,000 or more places which will be at the command of the Free State. If the government turns out the incumbents, Irish almost to a man, to give jobs to republicans, it will have to pension them for a time, at least. Such an aspiration on the part of the men who crusaded for freedom can be readily understood in Amer- ica, where we reward the faithful with the offices, but it is no less em- barrassing at this time to the men who have assumed control of the na- tion’s new destiny.. Raises Block te Reconciliation. And it is this ‘single situation, bred of the self-interest of patriots, that raises one of the chief blocks to reconciliation between the Griffith- Collins free state moderates and the De_Valera ragubllflll extre; The way this problem was brought to me, in the beginning of my peace- time inquisition of Ireland, was this: On the tender which met our liner in Queenstown’s picture-book harbor were officials of the . ‘government service, two representatives of- the immigration service, performing a service for the crown; two men from the customs, stil} wearing the Brit- ish- uniform and insignia; two from the post office, and & non-commis- sioned officer {n the Irish republican ‘my. Of these nine men, all now nomi- nally in the Free State, only one but had been performing the same dutles for the crown. That one was the I. A. A. non-com. This was his first trip out on theé tender to meet 2 boat. He had sapplanted the Royal Irish constabu- 11 ; “Bud” Fisher, a laborer, sald he heard a shearing noise in the bulld- ing the afterncon of the accident and 'y reported to some one in the theater.

The others, although Irish, had_held -their pleasant jobs under the British while he was fight- ing, and now he claimed their re- moval to make way for his comrades.

While T was standing there, chat- ting idly and waving farewell to shipboard friends above, a lad came lurching down the steep plank. I made a mental note that he was a cut every preconception. He was gaunt, spare of meat and easy of movement, eyes dark and quick to change focus, black hair, long and unruly, and clothing suggesting nights spent behind stone fences. He was 'a counterpart of types seen in the Cumberland mountain lean, courageous and self-contained. At the moment I.was listening to J. T.

Col. Westervelt, commandant of the arsenal, said today, however, that he had received no orders to curtail activities in the manufac- tyre of large cannon. GRAPHOPHONE FIRM FAGES BANKRUPTCY Receivérship Asked for Co- lumbia Company by Stockholders. By the Assoclated Press. WILMINGTON, Del, February 9.— Application for a receivership for the Columbla Graphophone Manufactur- ing Company, a Delaware corpora- tion, was made today in the United States district court. Insolvency is alleged. The application was made by the of 1,000 shares of common stock; May B. Shera, owner of 1226 shares; Henry W. Rungon, 275 shares, all of Jersey City. A rule to show cause wa$ made returnable February 17 by Judge Morris. Liabilitles Put at $22900,000. The amount of the liabilities is put at §. 00,000 to banks and financial creditors, in addition to $3,000,000 to merchandise and other creditors. No listing of assets is made, but the inference of the analysis of the com- pany’s affairs is that they are small. The general affidavit charges that the increase in the business of the defendant at no time has been proportionate to the enlargements of the capital stock and tne making of loans, and that since the middle of 1320 this has been stead- ily decreasing. Amasing Slump in Stock. This is reflected in the price of the stock in the open market, which has de- clined from $75 two years ago to 35 last month. There are stated 4c-#¢€ out- standing 9,833,731 shares“of preferred stock on $100 per,value and 1.268,186 pomimon stock of no par value. Universal Securities Company, owner SHIP WORK STOPS Furloughed Without Pay as Result of President’s Order to All Plants. CALL NOTICE TOO SHORT; APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT Union Heads Seek to Get More Wosk Here and Rap Outside Contracts. Thirteen hundred and fifty men were furloughed from the Washing- ton navy yard today because of the order from President Harding stop- ping work on ships which are to be scrapped, according to Robert E. Janson, president of Lodge 174 of the International Association of Ma- chinists. These men are retained on the rolls, but are furloughed until further orders without pay, pending reorganization of the navy yard. The situation, as viewed by offi- clals of the lodge, is a serious one for those who have been employed in the navy yard. With practically no warning they have been thrown out of work without having had time to adjust themselves to the new con- ditions. Officials of the lodge state that, while the action of the government had been anticipated, the government had promised that ample warning would be given so that the men woul . have opportunity to find other em ployment. Average $350 Per Day. “These men earn on_an average $5.50 a day,” said Mr. Janson, “and the loss in earning power of the 1,35u men is something over $7,000 per day, They are all skilled machinists, and the situation, taking into account the business depression, is serious. We have hoped, ever since we knew that this was coming, that the government would make the reduc- tion a little more gradually.
