tached To It
fBv Associated Press.l


Amsterdam. Jan. 22.-The Austrian
ministry has resigned. according to a
Vienna dispatch to The Berliner
Morgen Post. Count Won Toggen-
burg, minister of the interior. has
been charged with the task of form
ing a new cabinet.
The brief Vienna dispatch does not
make it absolutely clear which Of the
ministries has resigned, the imperial
ministry, Of which Count Czernin is
the head, holding the portfolio of
minister Of foreign affairs, or the
minor body, of which DR.. Won Seydler
is president. But the fact that Count
Won ToggenbuTg, who held the post
Of minister of the interior in the Won
Seydler cabinet, has been asked TO
organize new ministry, would indi-
cate that it is the latter.
Fsecent dispatches from Vienna re-
ported a crisis in the Austrian cabi-
net, DR.. Won Seydler being opposed
not only by the Czechs and the south
ern Slavs, but also by the Socialists,
while the German deputies also were
hostile owing to Won Seydler's weak
attitude.

however, only a separate peace with
Russia is practicable, the responsible

These statements were made today

speech at an important conference
between the government and labor
leaders. Those present included

CONDEMNS 0VERMAN
 RAILROAD MEASURE
Senator Watson Calls It Auto
 cratic and Unconstitutional

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Proyisions of the Overman bill giving President
 Wilson wide powers to reoreanize the war branches of the governm ent were denounced as unconstitutional and "autocratic'' by Senator Watson today ill the course of a speech in support of the senates draft of the railroad bill.
 ''The Overman bill," he declared, 'confers upon the president unheard- of powers, many of which to my mind
 are entirely unjustifiable, but the most reprehensible feature of that measure in my judgment is the one that provides that this autocratic au-
 thority shall continue for one year
 after the termination of the war Why 1 this provision? Why seek in that measure, as in the railroad bill, to perpetuate power asked to prosecute the war into the days when there shall be no war? These are war powers. They are asked for war pur- poses. They are not constitutional: : they are not in harmony with the spirit of our institutions; they are irreconcilably opposed to every 1 theory of our government; they are | un-American on any other hypoth- esis.
 Let us firmly resolve that with the proclamation of peace, the pres ident shall surrender all the vast powers willingly conferred upon by him by an aroused people because of 1 the necessities of war; that this na- ton shall return to the kind of re- public founded by the revered fathers of the uniOn.''
 vision in the bill limiting govern ment control over the roads to IS months after the war. but opposed the administrations original Dr0vi- sion to leave this period indefinite. In his opinion, he said, the war agement.
 T believe the old system of com
 petition is gone forever, that the sherman antitrust law so far as it
 affects railroad combinations will be repealed; that anti-pooling laws di- rected at railroad operations, will in-
 solar as they affect the transportation
 systems of the country, be abrogated , and a plan will be adopted which will give the government practical control of American railroads with out the weakness and inefficiency in cident to government ownership" Adoption of the standard of com
 pensation provided in the bill also was urged by Senator Watson.
