PEACE
With AUSTRIA
ABSURD
FRENCH PAPERS ADVISE eau
TON AGAINST HIDDEN SNARE

Paris, Oct. 29-"The capitulation of
Austria" is the unvarying caption
with which the morning papers pre-
cede Count Andrassy's note to Wilson
Editorials, while accepting this conclu-
sion urge caution lest there be hid
den snare behind the Austrian offer,
All writers agree that there can be
the possibility of an armistice only
on the terms set by the Allies, An
Grassy, they say, represents nobody,
therefore, a separate peace with Aus
tro-Hungary is absurd and impossible.
"The Democrats OF the Eentente
can maintain only one attitude; an
armistice first and all their conditions
OF peace after the war, but only after
ward" says L Homme Libre.

WARNS RAIL STRIKERS
M'ADoo SAYS U. S. CANNOT BE
coERcED BY EMPLOYEES.
Communication Addressed to Heads of
Labor Organizations Assures
Justice to All.

/ Washington, June director GEN
/ eral McAdoo addressed a communica-
tiOn to the six heads of labor organi-
zations having jurisdiction over the
machinists. boilermakers and other
branches of organized labor employed
in railroad shops, pointing out the
meaning and possible consequences of
strikes or walkouts OF railroad en-
pl9yees during the war
The communication reads:
~ "The strike Of certain shOpmen, ma
chinists, etc, in the railroad shops at
Alexandria, Va, has created very
painful impression on the public mind.
/ cannot believe that these men knew
what they were doing. They are all
employees Low of the United States
government. They are not employees
of any railroad corporation; therefore
this was strike against the govern
ment of the United States.
ut is the first time in the history OF
cur government that any of it's em-
plOyees have attempted strike
against their government Such ac-
ton is incredible. For the good Of
our beloved country, and for the hon
or of railroad men in the service
everywhere, l hope that there will be
no repetition of what everyone must
condemn as unpatrlotic In the highest
degree.
''The government cannot. of course.
be coerced Or intimidated by any OF
its employees. 1t is anxious to do
justice to all and will do justice TO
all as far as it is possible to measure
justice.
Recognizing that there are prob
able inequalities in the recOmmenda-
tions of the wage commission which
should be impartially considered and
dealt with, | appointed in my general
order No. q. dated May %. board
of railroad wages and working condi-
tions composed of three representa-
tive labor men, whose duty it Is to
hear and pass upon all petitions and
complaints
every class Of employees or parts
of classes of employees who feel that
they have just ground for complaint
under the wage decision should sub
init their cases promptly to this board
and they will be given just and Impair
tial consideration.
"The American people have just
been called upon to pay largely in
creased freight and passenger rates
for the purpose of paying In part the
increased wages, amounting to more
than S3O0.OO0.OOO, awarded to railroad
employees
