Transposed text from The Graphic" newspaper of 16 September 1922.

No sooner had a new Government of the Irish Free State been formed on Sunday under the leadership of Mr. W.T. Cosgrave, than the postal workers of the city went on strike. The strike was not due to the selection of Mr. Cosgrave, but to the proposed reduction in wages. The Government offer to spread the reduction over three months has been rejected. The right of civil servants to strike is denied by the Government and picketing is not allowed outside the post offices and telephone offices. The Government choice of the present moment to enforce a reduction in wages is regarded as an indication of its determination to enforce firm rule in its own house — which may not be a bad thing for Irish administration.
