New York, December 5 Complaint in an injunction suit against Postmaster General Burleson was filed by the Com mercial Cable company here to- day, seeking to prevent the Postmaster General from as suming control of the com pany's marine cable system.
 The complaint alleges that if the Postmaster General is. not enjoined from carrying out his purpose the com pany will sustain irreparable damage. It was filed by Charles E. Hughes ana William Cook, as counsel for the com pany.
 Soon after the complaint was filea' 1t was announced at the offices of the Commercial Cable company that wee President George G. Ward would re- fuSe anpointment as director of tho combined Western Union -Commerciai Gable service authorized tooas os Postmaster General.
 The main basis of the bill Of com plaint is that after the armlstice was signed the war power no longer op erated except to wind up matters all ready in the hands of the government prior to it's signing. To snow that the armistice really put an end to the war in the meaning of the joint resolu- ton of Congress taking over the two systems, the following extract from the Presidents address on November H. is quoted:

Rupture Kills
 1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year are laid away the burial certificate being marked Rupture" Why? Because the unfortunate ones had neglected themselves or had been merely taking care of the sign lswelling) of ths afniction and paying no attention to the cause. What are you doing2 Are you negiecting yourself by wearing truss, appliance or whatever name you choose to call itg At best, the truss is only makeshift = false prop against co1lapsing wall = and cannot be ex- pected to act as more than mere mechanical support. The binding pressure retards blood circulation, thus robbing the weakened muscles of that which they need most nourishment.
 But science has found way, and every truss sufferer in the land is invited to make FREE test right in tho privacy of their own home. The PLAPAO method is ufuuestionably the most scientific, logical and successful self treatment for rupture the world has ever known,
 The PLAPAO-PAD when adhering closely to the body cannot possibly slip or shift out of place, therefore, cannot chafe or pinch. Soft as velvet--easy to apply--inexpensive. To be used whilst you work and whilst you sleep. No straps, buckles or springs attached.

AUSTRIA HOPES ID HAVE VOICE AT THE

Vienna, Tuesday, December 3.-(By the

 resent Austria at the peace conference said to the correspondent today; If we are permitted to attend the con.
 ference, 1 presume it will be merely to
 receive it's mandates, though we trust we will be heard. However, so far we have no information as to when we shal' attend or the conditions attached to our attendance.
 Tt is to be hoped that the conference will arrive at a solution satisfactory to all the new republics of the empire SC
 that we may be able to live peacefully in the future. We feel that the Amer cans surely will be fair. It would De advisable for the allies to send here groups of statesmen and business men
 to look into conditions before trying to settle matters Outsiders might ma solution of the difficulties which we our
 selves have been unable to find.

 sThe present separation of the peoples of the empire is the last stage III the dissolution of what never really was an enuire. but groups of people demahdfhs freedom. Tt will be difficult for us to reform new union in order to save ourselves from commercial ruin.

.B|RMNGHAM CAN GET RELIEF BY
 APPEAL ID FPS. C.
Should City Fail in Enforce ment of Demands Against B. k. l.. P. Co. There
 Is Final Recourse

Montgomery, December 4.-tSpeciaL) Should city commissioners of Rirming- ham find they are powerless to enforce demands made against the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for D etter service they may get reief rom the Alabama public service commission under what is known as the Conner act of 1907.
 The Alabama mmission is oPerat- ing under tho law of 1907, which mas gone through all the courts in the state, ana which has been upheld in each case. It is recalled that the Louisville & Nashville Railroad company, many years ago, sought to have the act de- clared invalid. The railroad spent many thousands of dollars and lost in each contention, the courts ruling that the commission had authority to settle con- troversies between public utilities and towns regardless of the existence of franchises or contracts between the two.
 HOLD ALL AUTHORITY
 When the rate-making body was changed from the railroad commission to the public service commission no au- thority was given the commission, and it is pointed out the commission is cp~ .erating under the act of 1907 and under the same act as the old railroad com mission.
 The Montgomery Light and Traction company case is pointed to as one sim liar to some degree to that of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company. City commissioners of Mont gomery several weeks ago amended the contract -fre nchise of the local con- cern and permitted it to charge seven cents fare, at the same time abolish ing what is termed universal transfers. The new rate had been in effect 30 min- utes when the state commission ordered the company to go back to its five cent rate and to give transfers.
 At later meeting the state commis- sion permitted the company to charge six cents, but demanded that the uni lversa1 transfer system be kept in eff feet. In this case it was a question of the state commission doing something the city comm issioners did not approve of at that time. The state commission thought a seven cent rate was too much and notwithstanding the fact there was contract between the city and com pany the commission had, ,and used authority.
 There exists 6 contract between the city of Birmingham and the stree, railway company, just as there does in Montgomery. Under the act of 1902
 Birmingham may appeal to the state commission and get relief, If relief Is due.
 A ruling of the state commission against a public utility such as is the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company means that the ruling must be | carried out CT the offending company will pay to the state the sum of $50eC | for each days delay.
