Internal Trouble in Austria.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Increasing re-
ports of anti-war strikes throughout
Austria engaged the close attention of
American officials today. They believe
the reports are substantially true and
do not credit the London view that
they have been exaggerated to deceive
public opinion outside thecentra1 en-
pires. Other reports of economic con-
ditions, recently received, picture a
situation in Austria much more seri-
Gus than that in Germany.
Such information as has been receiv-
ed from agents in neutral countries
support the assertions that the strikes
are increasing in number.

B. OF L. F. AND E. To-
MEET HERE IN 1919
LIKE DENVER AS CONVEN-
TON CITY.
General Secretary Hawley Visits City
This Week to Make Preliminary
Arrangements for a Return
Engagement Next June.

The International Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
will hold their triennial convention in
Denver again next year, the opening
session in the Auditorium being fixed
for June 6. In 1916 this great rail-
road order held its four weeks con-
vention here, and were so pleased with
the city, the unmatched climate and
the many courtesies extended, that the
executive board, responding to prac-
tically unanimous request of the dele
gates-elect, has voted to come again
in 1919.
A. 81. Hawley, general secretary and
treasurer, with Offices at Cleveland, is
here this week making arrangements
for the meeting. He is accompanied
by Mrs. Maude E. Moore of STRAIT
ford, Ontario, grand president of the
woman's auxiliary, and Mrs. Mary E.
Dubois, grand secretary and treasurer
of the woman's auxiliary. The con-
vention will be held in the City Audi
forum. The meeting of the auxiliary
will take place in the auditorium of
thu Woman's Club, which organiza-
tioiI has also rendered use of its re-
ception rooms and has announced its
intention of providing lunches and
other forRs of entertainment for the
visiting women.
The auditorium and club rooms have
been rendered absolutely without
charge. The City Auditorium like
wise is rent free to the main body.
This is one of the big labor con-
ventions of the country. Membership
of the convention and woman's auxil-
larry totals 1892, and it is expected
that accompanying relatives and
friends of the delegates will run the
contingent up to 2,200.
The convention is a worthwhile
event from a financial standpoint, in
that its members are paid S11 day
while the convention is in session,
and the meetings last from thirty to
thirty-ive days.

want to accomplish that, the time of
all parties is being wasted.
Labor Recruiting Service.
1t is much the same with the estab-
lishment of the national control of re-
cruiting of labor. The real recruiting
is to be done by the community boards,
IN each of which there will be a labor
representative, a representative of the
employers, and a representative of the
recruiting service. This third man will
really control the board He will be
appointed by the state director of the
labor recruiting service. These state
directors have largely been chosen
from the United States labor reserve,
which has been closely connected with
the state councils of defense. These
state councils in many cases have been
anti-labor. In every community the
labor forces will have to see that the
third man in the board is not anti
union, or the whole benefit of the re-
cruiting system will be lost at once.
The motive in the machinery is the
thing.
Laugh Is on Burnquist-
Organized labor in Minneapolis and
st. Paul has another laugh on its
old antagonist, Governor Burnquist.
Inc natlonai war LABOR board has de-
cided, in the case of the street rail-
ways at Columbus, Ohio, that the COM
pany must not only meet with COM
mittee of the union. but it must rein
state the union men it discharged.
and it must not question the right of
the men to wear union buttons while
at work. These were the issues in
the Twin Cities strike. which will in
due time come before the war labor
board for settlement. 1t was after
the order of Burnquist's safety COM
mission, that union buttons should not
be worn, had been violated that Burn
quist became most eloquent in de-
nouncing the trade unionists as dis
loyal"
Incidentally, the war labor board
has awarded considerable increase
in pay to over $4,000 street railway
employees, and it has almost as many
cases now pending for decision.

mo GENERAL MINIMUM WAGE RULE FOR
PRESENT DECIDES WAR LABOR BOARD
Representatives of Employees and Employers Drop Subject for
Present and Will Pass Separate Cases They Come
Up Resolutions Say Period of War Is No Time
for Standardizing Wage Schedules
BY LAURENCE TODD
Especial Representative The Denver Labor
Bulletin.)


Especial Representative The Denver Labor
Bulletin-)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Altho the
national and international officers of
the metal trades unions are to meet
here on Monday to discuss the ques-
ton of standard wage levels in war
industries, it may be predicted now
that no nationwide standard wage
will be set.
The national war labor board
adopted, early this week, a resolution
opposing the fixing Of general wage
standards, in terms Of money, at this
time.
The resolution is important enough
to be repeated here in full. It reads:
Resolved, That the national war
labor board deems it an appropriate
time to invite the attention of en-
ployers and workers alike to the wis
dom of composing their differences in
accord with the principles governing
the national war labor board, which
were approved and promulgated by
the President in his proclamation Of
April 8.
THAT this war is not only a war of
arms, but also a war of workshops;
competition in the quantitive pro-
duction and distribution of munitions
and war supplies; a contest in indus
trial resourcefulness and energy.
For the Common Cause.
THAT the period of the war is not
a normal period of industrial expan-
sion from which the employer should
expect unusual profits or the employees
abnormal wages; that it is an interreg-
mum in which industry is pursued only
for the common cause and for COM
mon ends.
THAT capital should only have such
reasonable returns as will assure its
use for the worlds and the nations
calse, while the physical well being of
