AUSTRIA'S IRE
 AT WHITE HEAT
 OVER RATIONINC Reduction of Bread Amount Not Announced Until Day
 Rule Is Enforced. PREM. VON SEYDLER
 ASSAILED BY PAPER He is Accused of Inviting Disaster by Favoring
 Agrarians and Traders.

London, June 21-Further informa- tion confirming reports of intense re- sentiment and excitement over the re- duction of the bread ration is quoted from Austrian newspapers by the correspondent of the Times in the Hague.
 Among the subsidiary causes of anger is the fact that notification of the reduction was not made until noon Monday, although it had been enforced from early that morning. when loud and excited protests were raised.
 Premier Won Seydler is accused by the Socialist Arbetter Zeitung of Vien- na with producing a disastrous situa- ton by favoring the agrarians and traders. It says the situation could certainly have been prevented. The paper rails against Germany and Hun gady and tells the authorities that they must immediately draw the att tention of those countries to the fact that food conditions in Austria are intolerable and demand necessary as- sistance. It adds:
 ''The Austrian population cannot starve while Germany and Hungary have tolerably adequate rations. The Austrian government must be placed under tutelage even in matters re- lating to the food supply. It has deserved to be subjected to guar dian ship but the population must not be punished with starvation for the fall ure of the government"
 The weekly food ration in Austria the Daily Mail correspondent in The Hague quotes the Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna as reporting, is as fol- lows:
 TwentyNtwo ounces of bread; one pound of potatoes, of which half can not be eaten ;one ounce of black bran mash: one ounce of anotherzmin product; 1 1-2 ounces of fat; 6 Ia ounces of sugar; one egg; seven ounces of meat, and a little jam and cuffee substitutes.
 The Vienna newspaper says that the meat allowance is obtained eff the applicant waits all night for~1t.~
 Food conditions in Germany arc becoming worse and there is great discontent there owing to reduction in the bread ration, according to 8 Dutchman interviewed by the cor respondent of the Times in The Hague. Tt1e Dutchman had just re- turned from working in the Krupp plant in Essen, which he left because he could not stand the food condi- tions. The German people, he add ed, feared to- grumble openly lest they be sent to the~front.
 The correspondent says that the testimony corroborates what he has heard from many other witnesses, and adds:
 One popular saying is that the peo' pie will pay 100 marks for a sick dos to eat. The war is becoming yer! unpopular among the workers, but the feeling ebbs and ows with thu tide of Gernrany's success, and thu English are generally cursed"

CONCERNS WANT
 PRISON LABOR

Taking advantage of the fact that prisoners at the jail are at liberty to be used for various kinds of labor, the United Illuminating Company and several of the ice companies of the city have applied to the county com missioners for the service of prison CTS from the county jail. There is a serious shortage of labor in this city. There are about 40 prisoners who are doing outside work at the present time and as there are about 160 in the jail at the present time the number of prison laheorers is not likely to inc creaes as about all those trustworthy are employed at the present time.

and drink and spending money, pOliti cal preferment and those other things to which demagogues aspire. Nor do we have reference to that class of lawyers known as ambulance chas- CTS"
 Those who wish .a approach this question honestly should not do so il, a hostile spirit. They should assume that as they themselves are desirous of Q solution of their troubles, the employers themselves are sincere Ii they should, however, hold the worst opinion Of employers as a class. and at the same time would exercise a little judgment, it would sesm to taem that the employers could not afford to avail themselves of such loop hole of escape from liability for per sonal injury as the objeetars think they have discovered.
 It would ne impossible for an em- ployer of 5000 or 1000 men or a much smaller number Of men 70 exclude any considerable number of employees with dependents. War conditions make it doubly difficult for him to do so.
 But if ne could. and we feel sure that no employer ever thought of it, he would save but little. C0mpara- lively few personal injury cases in vclvc the death of the emplOve. In nine cases out of ten the employe survives an injury which may be trifling or may be tota, In either case he would become the beneficiary of the law which would definitely fix the amount of his compensation with out delay, and without division with an ambulance chaser"
 Besides. under the proposed law an employe killed would not be an em- ploye paid for" There would still have to be paid by the employer a stated sum into the state fund out Of which compensation would be paid to other injured employees or dead em- ployes who leave dependents.
 The foregoing is, as we have said, in reply only to honest o.Jectors. We have this now to say as to dishonest ObjectOrs: In the argument in the in- itiative and referendum publicity pamphlet against the act we find this:
 'To entitle a beneficiary to com pensation. dependency must be shown and the vicious terms of this law Is such that a woman working in in dustry whose husband is ing his country in France. would have no compensation paid for her death"
 We set against this misstatem nt the law itself, which provides
 Compensation due to beneficiaries shall be paid to the surviving spouse. fl any. until his,or her marriage. etc,
 Here is a plain intent Co deceive of which voters should take notice.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-10-18
An Impossible
 Objection

Phoenix Republican: The principal argument the obiectors to the Work mems Compensation Jaw offer, is that under its terms employers, more es- pecially the great mining companies might discriminate against employees without dependents, men with no families This is purely an assumD- ton born ot that deplorable class hatred SO characteristic of that social istic element which dreams of the time wien there shall be neither em- ployeTs nor employees: when all pro iuCtiGn shall be carried on under the state. Happy as that time shall be, it is not here now and will not be here for some years to come The proposed Legislation like all wisely proposed legislation. is to meet con ditions as they exist.
 We speak of this objection as it is honestly urged and not as it has. been put forward by labor agitators to whom the quarrels between en- ployer and employe constitute meat
