 T am in receipt of large number of telegraphic protests from workers in several parts of the country.
 The workers. the masses of the people. will be the greatest sufferers from this new order Others have been or will be able to hoard their needs and supplies. Of course. the working people of America will main. tain their loyal stand despite their suffering and sacrifice which they may be called upon to bear: and yet 3fery. thing must be done 10 see that they are not made to suffer unnecessarily.
 T have just received letter from the executive secretary of Dr. Gar field. the head of the United States fuel administration. in which he says:
 In connection with the order clos ing down industry for five days and subsequent Monday. am issuing an appeal to industries concerned. asking them not to allow labor to suffer by reason of the shutdown; that this is war measure. which confidently ex- pect industry will execute without shifting the burden to labor.

EXACT SITUATION IS NOT RE- VEAlEO IN THE MEAGER DE-
 TAILS AVAILABLE.
GERMAN SITUATION REMOTE
In Hungary the People Are Endeavor- ing To Ascertain What the Pros poets Are For Ending the War-is
 But Little Fighting Going On.

New York.-The internal strife in ness, the high cost of living and the dislocation of economic life continues of absorbing interest. \ Vienna dis patch to the Berhner Morgenpost says the Austrian ministry has resigned and that Count von Togsenburg. minis ter of the interior, has been charged with the task of forming d new cab inet.
 Although the exact situation is not revealed in the meaEcr details avail able. the dispatches that have crept through indicate situation that will require skillml handling to bring the dissatisfied people into d state of trac- ticability.
 No newspapers ln Vienna were per mtted last Saturday The only pubi!- eaton allowed Was a single sheet bul- letin, which told some of the details of the nationwide strike and thc de velopments in the peace discussions at Brest-LitoSsk As usual the hand of tine German propagandists was seen in this one sheet publication. fer the chief announcement in il Was from the German Social Democracy of Aus tria. This lays stress on the last years declaration of the Austro Hun. garian foreign minister Count Ger min. that the Central powers were ready to make an immediate general peace without annexation or indemni- ties.
 Evidently. however. this statement failed to placate the strikers in Ni- enna, who sent I large delegation to wait upon the food minister to in. form him of conditions among the working classes and to impress on him that their desire for peace oyershad- owed and took precedence over all other demands.
 In Hungary the people are endeavor- ing to ascertain what arc the pros poets for the end of the war So in- sistent has been their effort in this direction that the Hungarian premier has been forced to announce i'll the lower house Of Parliament that the government adheres to the principle of peace without annexation or m- demnities-that even the king shared in this View. The premier however. added that the question of Alsace- Lorraine should not at present enter into the situation. as t is not caicu. lated 10 strengthen tie governments position.
 The censorship has closed down with regard 10 the internal situation in Germany. althourh one of the Ser lin newspapers Is quoted as declaring that the off pos poned speech of the imperial chancellor to the Main Com mittee Of She RsIchstag will he de livered soon.

TO VETO WHEAT BILL
President Announces He Will Not
Sanction Raise in Price.

Washington, April 1S.-The fight
for $3.50 wheat reopened with a state
ment from President Wilson that he
would veto any measure proposing
that figure, and counter statements
of defiance from chmapions of the in
crease.
The presidents statement was made
to Representative Lever, of South Car
DINA, chairman of the agriculture
committee. The latter called on the
president to ascertain his sentiments
definitely
Lever declared that with the presi-
dents position stated openly he be-
heved the house would vote down the
provision in the senate bill which fixes
the $3.50 price. 1t is likely a vote will
be had today or early in the week,
Representative STEVENSON of Min
nesota, leader of the $3.50 advocates,
said that while the presidents word
would have great influence in the
house the one-sided majority in the
senate was better indication of how
the legislative branches of government
felt on the problem.
