land even more insanitary This is
one CT The things that must be given

the question today.
THE territory cannot put in these
sewers according TO law; that is a
matter foT the city and county to take
up. On the other hand there is a
question OF whether or not the city

ORGANIZED LABOR TN
AUSTRIA SUFFERS
SEVERELY FROM WAR
IBy Associated Pressl

VIENNA, Austria.-The war has hit
the trades and organized labor of Aus
tria blow that is almost stunning.
The total membership has been re-
duced to ia, 133 from 415,195. the fig
ure in 1913; thirty of the So erganiza-
tons that are banded together in the
so-called imperial commission" have
less than thousand members apiece
now; and the incomes of about half
Of the associations have been so re-
duced that they were exceeded by ex-
penditures.
The reduction in the membership
of the unions not only applies to men,
some 100000 OF whom have been cali
ed to the colors, but, to women as
well, of whom 40 per cent of the old
number have left the organizations.
Some trades, such as roofers and pa
per box makers, now have only 26
and Is members respectively left The
big metal workers and textile trades
have now only $4,000 and $4,000 mem
bers left.
OF course with the reduction in
membership there has been cores
ponding decrease in the sums paid
out for war support" SO that the vari-
GUS trades in 1915, for example, had
to expend but little over hundred
thousand dollars in this way, as
against $630,000 in 1914.
Similarly the incomes dropped, so
that the imperial commission in 1915
took in, through its 50 organizations,
but one million dollars in 1915 against
1,650,00 in 1914 and two millions in
1913. Even with lessened member
ship, however, the trades still have
as much in their treasures today as
they had in 1913.
