GOMPERS IN FAVOR OF SEVEN HOUR WORK DAY Praises Washington Officials
 and Suggests New
 Arrangement.

Indianapolis, Jan. 23.--A universal seven hour day during the period of the war, instead of present spasmodic suspension of industries by the fuel administration to conserve coal and relieve railroad congestion, was sug- gested today by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor in a speech to the conven- tion of the United Mine Workers of America.
 Mir Gompers' speech was regarded as labor's message to the country on the action of the fuel administration. He prefaced his suggestion for a seven hour day with a defense of those in high governmental station who may have made mistakes. They are prompted, he said, by the patrio- tic purpose to win the war and to think that the great transition from peace to war could be made without mistakes was asking the impossible. Continuing he said
 ''The order issued a few days ago I regard as an absolute necessity You know there is now discussion to re- peal or modify the Sherman anti trust law. I am not going to offer any excuse for the railroads, they have been lax so long, but the Sher man antitrust law, forbade them to do what now the director general of railroads has the right to do The jam had occurred and was increasing and something had to be done to re- lieVe the situation.
 'T think there is no mistake in the making and I trust it will be changed or modified. l refer to the closing of industrial and comm mercial plants one additional day each week. l think it is a mistake to have a whole day such as Monday idle and involv ing from Saturday afternoon until Tuesday morning. I believe if the order were changer so that instead of there being ten. nine or eight hours as a days war work, the same power proclaim a universal seveN hour day during the war, better re- suits would follow.
 we would have virtually the same results in the conservation of fuel anl all other needful commodities. It would not do violence to the history. to the traditions. to the work and to the practical operation of industry and commerce..
 stI hope tho suggestion will find SUD- port somewhere and bring about that change: but if it does not I am going to obey like a soldier of America. I am going to yield my judgment to the judgment and action of the men in wh%se hands the destinies of the re- public are placed"

Washington. Jan. 23.-Conferenc65 today between senate leaders hand ling President Wilson's fight against the military committees bills to create a war cabinet and munitions director virtually decided that refer ence of the war cabinet measure to the military committee will not be opposed Thus the first clash has been avoided.
 This plan was decided upon, ad- ministration spokesmen said, not in fear that they lacked votes for test of strength but rather to avoid broadening the schism with the White House and also to follow usual procedure of legislation.
 Vigorous debate, however, is ex- pected tomorrow if Senator Cham berlain carries out his intention to reply to the president
 After allowing the war cabinet bill to go to military committee, admin istration leaders plan to have it also referred to the naval committee.
 The munitions director bill also is to be sent to the naval committee.

Vornyaerts Believes Empire Has Been Walking on Edge of Precipice- Zeitung Believes Foreign Minister Stage Managcd' Strikes - Peace Meeting in Cologne.

London, Jan. 23.-The peace agita- ton in Austria Hungary is receiving @ great deal of attention in Germany. The socialist newspaper VorwaertS, of Berlin, emphatically declares the sol idaritN of the German DrOletariat with the Austrian labor in the peace Strug gle, and maintains that events in the Dual Monarchy must have a deep re- action in Germany.
 "We have been walking on the edge of a precipice in the last few days" it says and goes on to demand that the German government resolutely take it's place by the side of it's Aus trian ally.
 "As the fruit of pan-German
 aganda," it says, i've are menaceG not only with the wrecking of the peace negotiations with Russia but also with complete political isolation. This danger can be avoided only if the German government declares itself in agreement with Foreign Minister Czernin's declaration respecting ad
 herence to the principles of no an- nexations and no indemnities, and draws therefrom all practical conclu- sions which must be drawn honestly. If the government acts otherwise the
 
 tria- Hungary and Russia enter into 1 lasting relations of friendship, Ger many will remain excluded therefrom
 and we shall lose our last neighbor
 and friend.''
 IITitated by Czernin
 Among the newspapers of a differ 1 ent complexion there are indications 1 of considerable irritation toward Aus | tria, which in some cases is expressed 1 frankly. The Taglihe Rundschau ot
 Berlin declares that, owing to support ] from the Austrian government, demo-
 cratic internationalism has come to
 the surface, is stirring up strike after 1 strike and preparing for dem ocrauc
 peace of the sort Trotzsky stands for | It also speaks of a fresh crisis arising 1 in Germany through the action of the 1 German social democracy
 The Frankfurter Zeltung expresses 1 much concern at the peace agitation | in Austria, remarking that Germany 1 cannot be asked to agree to an un- i conditional peace after such a war as | thiS nor can Austria. It complains | that the Austrian governme ent might do l more than it is doing to make 1t clear
 that it is not in the special interest | of Germany that the nations are
 standing together in the peace nego-
 tiations The Zeitung conjectures
 that the strikes in Austria are at | tributable to Count Czernin's stage
 management" Other German papers
 express strong dissatisfaction at the
 attitude of Count Czernn.
 A report from Amsterdam says that IA meetings, having the character of l peace demonstrations, were held in
 Cologne on Monday non-socialists
 from the middle class as well as the
 socialists being represented largely. Chancellor von Hertling's promised
 speech in the Reichstag, respecting ] German war aims, is now expected on | Thursday. Count Czernin also prob ably will speak in Vienna.
