MAY RESTRICT EMIGRATION.
Austria Resents Conditions in West.
ern Pennsylvania Mines.

PITTSBCRG, Pa, July 26.-As a pro-
test against working conditions in mines
and mills of western Pennsylvania, it is
intimated at the Office Of the Austrian
consulate here that the imperial govern
ment may restrict emigration to this
region. Vice Consul Edgar Prochnik de-
clares that the 100000 subjects of EN-
peror Joseph. who have come to western
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, consti.
tute IS per cent of the laborers in the
mills, and large per cent also of the
miners.
He points out the frequency of acci-
dents, the difficulty of gaining compen-
sation for death or injury, alleged poor
housing conditions. and other objection
able features. The vice consul is quoted
as saying:
Il think it not unlikely that the govern.
ment will do as it has done in Brazil
stop emigration here altogether, or. al
least, limit it until conditions are i'm
proved. The emigrants and their own
country would be the better for such a
move, and l fancy 1t might have the
result of bringing about improved condi-
tions for workmen generally hereabouts.'

HEAT SAVES TWO LIVES.
Men Sleeping on Deck Warned
When Vessel Sinks.

NEW YORK. July 26.-The heat wave,
responsible for many deaths. is credited
today with the saving of two lives.
Frank Peters and Martin Wendell of
Brooklyn, members of the crew of the
tugboat Arthur Palmer, driven by the
heat from their hunks below, went to
the tugs deck to sleep. Early today
they aweke to find the tug sinking so
fast at her dock at the foot of Pacific
street that they hadn't time to reach
the pier. Both jumped overheard and
swan ashore. The boat settled in twen-
ty feet of water.
Had they slept below the men would
have been drowned. How the boat
sprang leak is not known.
