THE AUSTRIAN OUTBREAK

The demonstrations reported from Aus tria against the governments attitude in sup porting the German demands upon Russia, which are believed to be preventing the con- cusion of peace between the central powers and Russia, and Austrian workers demands for a general peace, indicate that Germany is facing one of the greatest crises of the war right at home How serious the real Austrian disorders are is greatly matter of conjecture.
 It is not at all improbable that the situa- ton is being exaggerated by the central pow CTS for political reasons. If there are mil lions of Austrian workers who are seriously demanding that Austria conform to the peace considerations which have been defined by the allied spokesmen, this is indeed good begin ming, and once the flame starts, it might grow strong enough to wipe out the present Ger man government. Until this government is wiped out, there is not much hope that peace will be arranged
 The central powers are ready and willing to make peace,- but upon their own terms. From recent statements, they might even be willing to evacuate both Belgium and Alsace- Lorraine, but this would only affect the Ger man dream of a great Mittel Europa to a very small degree leaving untouched the near east. This has been the German aim for years it has been taught in schools, advocated from pulpits and the Promised Land pointed out by the emperor German arms today hold this territory, and as long as the present Ger man government is in power, it will not be relinquished willingly.
 No small, or even great, labor disturb ance will suffice to turn it aside from its purpose But the present Austrian disturb ances are at least hopeful sign. As the war extends, and the pinch is felt more and more by German workmen as well as by the Aus trians, these disturbances may be looked for to increase in size and eventually cause the downfall of Prussianism But in the mean time, our only hope for peace is to make war as effectively as is humanly posible

COMPANY FINED
 $25O IN EICHT-
 HOUR LAW CASE

Yesterday afternoon Commissioner Heilig found the Northern Conner cial Co. guilty of breaking the ter ritorial eight-hour law, and fined it S25O and costs. The company's at torney. John A. Clark, asked for two days to perfect an appeal to the district court, and his request was granted, there being no objec- tion from the district attorney.
 At the beginning of the session the case against George Coleman, local agent of the N. c. Co.,, was dismissed, with the consent of the U. s. attorney. it being agreed that Mr. Coleman was not responsible for the working hours of the company's employees.
 A demurrer was then introduced asking that the case be thrown out on the grounds that the eight-hour law was unconstitutional according to the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution. The de- murrer was overruled, and the case against the company was called. Mir. Clark pleaded not guilty for the company and asked for immediate hearing of the case.
 MT. Pratt, for the government, stat ed that the company practically agreed to the charges, and called R. M. Brown. the complaining wit ness, to the stand. The latter sim. ply made the statement that Edgar Clausen, an employee of the N. c. Co.,, had worked more than eight hours on Monday. January q, 1918. contrary to the law. MT. Clark, for the company, admitted that Clausen was an employee of the Northern Commercial company. and that he had worked more than eight hours on January q. He introduced no witnesses at all.
 On the conclusion of MT. Clark's statement, Commissioner Heilig found the defendant guilty. and fined 1t $250 and costs. The case will be ap- pealed, and the real argument will come up in the district court as to whether the law Is constitutional or not.

WOMEN
 DISCARD VEIL
 AND CAN VOTE

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Tartar women in the far Russian provinces have dropped the veil and are freed from sex tyranny as result of the Rus sian revolution. In the elections for the local Zemstovs they are voting along with the men.
 A letter from Kazan, says: "The women's movement here started in the revolution of 1905 as a result of which the women began to go about unveiled. By 1910 a yelled woman was unknown in Kazan. Af- ter the revolution in which the Elm peror was deposed, the Moslem wo- men formed society and sent dele gates to the first All-Russia Confer ence. Here they presented demands for the abolition of polygamy and the Moslem inheritance law according to which female heirs receive smaller portions than male. A separate day is set apart for the Tartar women to vote. to satisfy the mullahs and old fashioned women. About 40 per cent of the women went to the polls on the last election.

of complete vindication of Dr. Harry Car field, national fuel administrator, and the con- fdence placed in him by President Wilson. All the more credit is coming to Dr. Garfield because of his firm stand against congress sional protest.
 The croakings of the opposition that the order if carried out, would be second only to German invasion of the same district have been completely disproved, and the fran tic attitude of the opposition to stay its exc cution appears ridiculous in the light of the results for the first four days operations
 The fuel administration has had present ed to it one of the most serious problems pro- duced by the war. It has been given the task of providing an additional 1OO,OOO,OOO tons of coal to the normal yearly output of the nations mines. Of this amount the mines proposed to furnish approximately one-half, the remaining half must be secured by the administration by measures of conservation This coal had to be moved with as little in terruption to other important war traffic as possible. In order to accomplish this the coal supplies of the western states were moved first. so that it might be handled through the lakes before winter closed down. This left some sections of the east with small reserve supplies, which were eaten up by record- breaking cold weather, and congested trans portation conditions made it next to impos- sible to replace these supplies. The eastern fuel situation was so serious as to be threat ening The fact that hundreds of ships load ed with essential supplies for Europe were tied up on account of empty bunkers indicates just how threatening the situation was.
 It was this which made the restriction order imperative. The strenuous protest which was made by the senate would seem to indicate that the members as whole were ignorant of the true state of affairs, and more hysterical over imaginary dangers than con- cerned over real ones.
 There have been numerous criticisms of the work of the fuel administration, and as this is body of the Presidents own selec- tion, must necessarily reflect upon him to a certain degree. The vindication of its action by the results of the order proves that the Presidents confidence was not misplaced and renews the belief of the country in the wis dom and far-sightedness of the President.

THE PACKING INDUSTRY

The demands of the workingmen through out the country that the government take over the nations packing industry may not be granted, but it is good indication of the way the wind is blowing toward government ope- ration and ownership of facilities which vital ly affect the lives of the great mass of people in America. The first step taken in this di- rection was the seizure of railroad operation
 It is true that this action was intended, and still is, to last until the end of the war, or, as Director General McAdoo announces, for some time after the war in order that a new system of comprehensive laws may be enacted under which their operation under private ownership will be possible on basis fair to all, both employers and employees, and to the public as we'll
 This step has undoubtedly produced senti- ment among the employees of the packing house corporations for similar action in this industry. Until the present investigation of the packing industry which is being made by the federal trade commission, has been com pleted and it's findings reported to the gov ernment, it is hardy likely that the govern ment will take the desired action. The in quiry is being conducted by Francis J. Heney who is endeavoring to show the inside work ings of the most powerful and interruptions trust in existence, not even excepting the Standard Oil This same meat trust has been investigated by legislatures times without number, but it continues to do business in the same old way. It has been pretty clearly shown that by control of stockyards and ter minal facilities at nearly all of the western markets as well as packing houses, cold stor- age plants, fertilizer and glue works, refrig- orator lines and soap factories, not to men, tion other subsidiary lines, it was making the people of the United States pay tribute to it at every turn. Under its operations, it has been able to buy from the producer at its own figures and sell to the consumer at its own prices. All in all, it has been pretty tough old bird.
 MT Heney has been at his job for some time, and that he was not too freely well comed by the packers is indicated by the fact that it was necessary for him to threaten to use court proceedings before certain books and documents were turned over to him. When he has finished it is well within the province of things possible that the govern

AMERICAN INGENUITY

By the invention of the non-ricochet shell, the trained minds of American naval experts have again scored point in the war agalnst the pirate campaign of the Hun submarines. The worth of this, the latest device to check the ravages of the enemy U-boats, is testified to by the fact that both the British and French navies have officially adopted the shell.
 That it will prove more efficient than the depth bomb, which has hitherto been one of the most effective weapons used in the anti submarine warfare, is expected by its invent ors. It is more easily handled and can be directed more accurately, in that it is fired from guns using the old type of ammunition. For this reason it is expected that it will largely replace the depth bomb. This latter device has been instrumental in rendering the patrol warfare much more dangerous to the enemy undersea craft and in reducing the losses to shipping to great extent. With the latest device more efficient, it is not too much to expect that these losses will be cut even further.
 Much has been said about the end of the submarine menace in recent weeks, but as long as the Huns are able to sink from fif- teen to forty vessels each month, it is evident that the end has not been reached, but the menace merely reduced. Every device which adds to the efficiency of the methods used in combating the menace is a great blow struck for the allied cause and brings the end of the war closer.
 Ships are now the great need which con- fronts the allied nations. Ships to carry steel and food for the allies, ships to carry our armies to the European battlefelds and to feed the men and guns after they get there. The ships which are being sunk every day can i'll be spared at this time.
 There are two ways of obtaining these ships which are so badly needed. One of these is to build them faster than they can be sunk and the other is to sink the subma- rines and drive them back to their home ports. The allies are using both means. The ship building industry is being greatly speeded up in both the United States and in England. Our shipbuilding program is being more than kept up with, and each day sees a greater increase in the shipbuilding rate.
 Events since the entrance of American destroyers into the patrol campaign prove that the American army is doing great work in sinking and driving back home the U- boats. The invention of the non-ricochet shell is another indication that American geni- us will finally be able to solve the problem of defeating the German pirate ships
