War Upon Austria AS It Affected. Labor

NOV that war has been declared upon
Austria, declaration that long seemed
TO be logical, some oe the circumstances
which moved the government to hold back
have been disclosed The primary considera-
ton in that connection appears to have been
the effect Of such step upon labor condi-
lions i'll this country. There are tens of
thousands of unnaturalized Austrians and
Hungarians in America. Many of them
employed i'll industries directly engaged in
the manufacture OF war munitions. One steel
plant alone is said to be the employer OF
1000 nationals Of the dual empire, and in
almost every munition factory there are
scores. if not hundreds, of citizens of Austria.
With war upon Austria formally declared,
its nationals become alien enemies, and, as
such, it is hazardous to allow them to remain
at work in the vital industries of this coun-
try. TO bar them all will seriously handicap
the manufacturers who employ them, and
will to that extent affect the output OF NUM-
tons for the allied armies
This phase of the question was not dwet
upon by the government during the months
when the United States was actually if not
formally, at war with Austria If it had
been made clear to the American people.
there would have been less impatience over
the seeming reluctance Of the government 10
make n move which every other considera-
ton prompted.
Even SO, war upon Austria by declaration
had TO come. There was no escape from it,
American resources were being pitted against
that country, and Austrian armies were seek
ing desperately to cripple and ultimately to
crush Americas allies. Italy needed moral
support as we'll as material support, and no
inerallied conference could be covenanted as
long as we held back American employers
of labor Will have to make the best Of the
new situation. Though temporary hardships
may be imposed upon them in the loss OF
much valuable labor, We believe they will
successfully meet their new problem
