CHARLESMAY
Be THE NEXT
SACRIFICE TO
BERLIN GREED

The grim finger of revolution is
pointed at another throne. Another
royal family is in danger OF rejection
at the hands OF its people, according
TO news dispatches that leak out from
Austria-Hungary.
II the young Emperor Charles OF
Austris-HungAry loses his throne as
the result OF the great strikes and
peace riots now going on, he will be
only another addition to the list OF
rulers who have continued the war
against his will.
Emperor Charles is lover Of
peace. He is a factor in the determi-
nation OF the policies Of the Austrian
government, but has been dominated
BY the pan-German element in
Austria
The youthful Emperor. then prince,
was one OF the strongest advocates
In the early days OF the var of the
maintenance of peace with America
at all costs. and is known to have
used his influence to help the unsuc-
cessful fight against the unrestricted
submarine warfare that eventually
brought the United States into the
conflict
The Kaiser dominates Austria. The
youthful ruler must stand or fall by
the principles of his nation. laid down
by the Kaiser. His people are in
revolt against him only in name; in
reality they are lighting pan-German-
ism. Emperor Charles may have to
pay the price for the action of his
royal father, Franz Josef, whose
domineering demands on Serbia fur
nished the primary excuse for Ger
many to wage war against the
world.
The revolutionary spirit OF Russia
has spread to Austria. The industrial
strikes are considered in European
capitals to mean the beginning of a
Bslsheviki movement that is likely
10 spread over Austria and Hungary
n II did over the Cars domain
In the little corners and crevices OF
the ustro-Hungarian empire are
tucked away scores OF different kinds
of people. There are dozens OF Ian
Euages: dozens of ideals; dozens of
differences that keep the empire from
being an economic or governmental
unit
The Czechs, who form a powerful
portion OF the population. are not in
sympathy with the war upon Serbia

PACKING HOUSE
LABOR AND WAGE
DISPUTE SETTLED

The packing house labor and wage
dispute has been amicably settled, II
became known today. following a
conference that lasted into the early
hours OF the morning.
James G. Condor and Carl Meyer,
attorneys for the packers, said to-
day that the differences had been
settled by the Secretary OF Labor and
the Presidents mediation committee.
There is to be an open shop during
the period OF the war" said state
ment issued by the attorneys. There
is to be no recognition of any union.
The matter OF adjustment OF wages
and hours is to be left to the deter
mination of an administrator to be
appointed by the Secretary of abor.
with the approval of the Council Of
National Defense.
THE agreement reached Is in all
respects in accordance with the offer
made by the packers in Chicago after
the employees had refused to accept
the increase in wages offered by the
packers"
Out Of eighteen questions sub
mitted by the workmen's delegation,
twelve were finally agreed upon. The
remaining six are to be referred to
the administrator, 1t was stated.

Finger Now Points the Youthful Austrian Ruler

Many Czechs have deserted from the
Austrian forces. and have gone over
to the enemy in large bodies.
Austria is a nation divided against
itself, held together as a military
unit only by the powerful influence of
the Kaiser and his lieutenants.
Scarcity of food and fuel and other
privations known to be intense have
made OF the Austrian populace vir-
tual culture bed for reyolutionism.
