ASTRIAN WORkMEN
 STRIKE FOR PEACE
Anti-German Movement in Muni- tion Shops With 100000 Out

London, Jan. 21.-A general strike is OF throughout Austria, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Paris, which reports 10000 men quitting work in Vienna and Neustadt, Cthirteen miles south of Nienna) closing down all the war factories.
 The strikers are described as open ly anti-German, and the movement as both political and economic be- ing especially aimed at securing peace. Public demonstrations, it is added, have been held in many places, at which hostility toward Ser lin for trying to force the Austrians to continue the war was voiced.
 Dispatches received hero say that the Frankfurter Zeitung sounds a note of disquietude to Germans re- garding events in Austria and their effect on tie situation. The Zeitung's s Vienna correspondent interprets the serious strikes and outspoken press utterances as refecting the strong movement against delaying peace through Pan-Gcrman annexationist aspirations. lie says that it is be- coming ever clearer that, with the semi-connivance of the government t1lS A uSIildJl pGOpIeS, 1uCluuluS SGt- mans, will only wage war until the Entente is ready for peace by under standing.
 Nothing has had such a bad effect upon the relations between Austria Hungary and Germany as the bear ing of the fatherIand party, accord ing to this correspondent He adds:
 Tt is true that the strike move- ment Cat Vienna and other cities throughout Austria, arose through the reduction Of the flour ration, but it has now assumed a political char acter. It demands speedy peace with Russia, and has grown too strong to be stemmed by force"

 Tn remarking. upon the case Liquor Prosecutor filling said that for the past two years the Lithuanian Pastime club has been conducted and has been selling liquor under the club law openly and notoriously, but facts now at hand show that it never even held a club license. Lawyer McDonouGh explained that Lithuanian hall IS owned by seven diqerent Lithuanian societies and the Pastime club is com- posed of about 400 members from these organizations. He said that he, as well as the authorieies, had always thought that the club was being con ducted under a club license and, ne thought, the mem berS too considered that they were within the law as they were acting upon certain supposed legal advise which had been given ] them. He likewise said that while the 1 club had no regular club license, the management did have a revenue license.
 Tn imposing the fine, Judge Mes l kill remarked that he saw no mitigat- ine circumstances in connection with 1 the case and the fact that the mem- | bers had consulted Counsel or near 1 Counsel" might lead one to believe 1 that they had their own doubts as to l the legality of their actions.
