AMSTERDAM, February S.-Dr. Won
Seydler, the Austrian premier, has ten
dered the resignation of his entire cabi-
net to Emperor Charles, according to a
dispatch from Vienna.
The resignation of the Won Seydler
cabinet, it is understood in parliament
ary circles in Vienna. is due to the op-
position of Polish deputies against spe-
cial debates and the provisional budget.
The opposition of the deputies makes
a majority for the budget doubtful
President Gross of the lower house,
announcing the resignation, said that
according to the constitution it was
necessary to postpone temporarily the
sittings of the house.
(The cabinet of DR.. Won Seydler,
which was formed last June. was re-
ported to have resigned during the re
cent labor crisis in Austria Hungary
This report, however, was not con-
firmed. DIR. Won Seydler was able to
bring about the cessation of the strike
by informing labor delegations on jan
uary 20 that it was the wish of the
Austrian emperor to end the war at
the earliest possible moment by an
honorable peace. Other members OF
his government promised labor and
military reforms. after which the labor
leaders ordered their followers to re-
turn to work. This virtually ended the

THAW BRINGS HOPE
OF AID TO RAILROADS
Coal Transportation Still Grip
pied and Need for Cars
Is Great.

Thawing weather today brought pros
poets of unexpected relief to railroads
of the blizzard-s stricken east. They
bitter cold of the past few days, and
coal transportation accordingly still
was far below normal.
Reports to the railroad and fuel ad-
ministrations said many coal mines
were not supplied with empty cars, and
that traffic was tied up so badly in
principal rail centers that it would
take a week to restore even the same
degree of order that prevailed last
week.
Labor was more plentiful today and
loading and unloading operations went

still was frozen in cars which have
been standing in the open for days. and
1t will take a day or two more of
moderate temperature to thaw it out.
This condition was particularly bad at
New York and other eastern ports,
where difficulty is being encountered in
bunkering ships.
Reports from A. H. Smith, regional di-
rector of railroads in the east, said yes
terday's freight movement was about 40
per cent below normal and this applied
to coal as well as to general freight.
State fuel administrators reported
that reserve stocks of coal had disap-
peared in many cases, and that indus
tries We're prepared to shut down un-
less shipments were freer tomorrow.
The shortage of fuel in New England
was little relieved. since the moderat-
ing weather was slower in reaching
that section. and ice in the harbor
at New York hammered movement of
coal by water. Conditions in Chesa-
peake bay and Baltimore harbor were
reported "the worst ever known" by
Mr. Smith.
