Washington, August a.-(By the As.

 ing of 1000 contracts for the con.
 struction of warehouses for the quar-
 termaster corps at New Orleans was re-
 stunned today by the Senate submilltary
 committee. Statements made by repre-
 sentatives of that department before the
 committee that the reason local concerns
 were not given the contracts instead of
 the George A. Fuller company was be-
 cause there were none in that city capa : Fb,e of financing them were denied by
 F. J. O'Leary.
 MT. O'Leary told the committee there are number of local companies which could have handled the work had they been given an opportunity. He denied further that the FVler company or any other of the big eaStern companies had ever been given contracts for private work in New Orleans. The Fuller com pany's fees for the present job, he as- serted, amount to $250,000, but despite that only three officials of that company have so far given only F days of their l time in New Orleans experimenting the work. Mir. OLeary told the committed according to Chairman Mcclellan, that the Fuller company brought none of its equipment to New Orleans in order t construct warehouses. but purchased about s50,0O0 from local concerns

Women Prefer to Work for Men

There Is fine article about women in business in the American Magazins The aut!,o- of the article says: -~
 Tt is this curious fact, which do no. pretend 10 explain: Women do not like to work for women; they would far rather be directed by a man. In one section os cur assembling room one CT the girls became so expert at the work that we pu. her in charge of that par ticular department She was efficient and hard working, but from the day she took charge we had had trouble in keep ing girls II work in that department. And once for of them came to the su
 perintendenr with the outright request that he give them man to work for. We don't want to work for woman, they said
 .Do other employers have this same experience. Do women dislike to work for other women? I should have sup posed that the girls in the assembling room would have been pleased by the promotion ot one of their number. Sex loyalty-I should have thought-wouil prompt then, to turn in and do their bes. to make her department a success. In stead of which they did their best sc get her fired.

AUSTRIAN SOCIAL . DEMOCRATS FIGHT
 RUSS DOMINATION
New and Liberalized Peace Formula Urged at Ma tional Conference of SO-
 cialists at Vienna
w. V. KIRKPATRICK

Rerne, August 15.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. "Details received here of the recent national conference at Vienna of the German ocial-democratic party of Austria, show that a strong pro- test was made against the Austrc-Ger- man domination of Russia and Rumania, and a new and liberalized peace Nor mula was presented. This Is one of the powerful organizations of Austria, and the national conference was attended by representatives of all branches of indus try from lower and upper Austria and from the Alpine regions and the south. The resolutions recite:
 "The national congress of the German social democratic party of Austria pro- tests against the Brest- -Eitovsk and the Bucharest treaties as contrary to the principle of peace of understanding with out annexation and contributions. (Ten lines suppressed by censor)
 "The congress therefore demands that, before the ratification of these peace treaties they be laid before tho-parlja- ment for examination and amendment.
 "The national congress demands that the, governments of the central powers offer general peace to the governments of the entente on tn following basis: "1. Establishment of a league of peoples of all countries. which will carry out i general ulSdIIQdH1eHl anu 5cLllc dll ulb- putes between peoples by courts of ar Duration.
 "2 Abandonment of all annexation and contributions. not only in the west and south, but also in the east and south east (Not only as to Belgium, France. Serbia and Italy, but also as to Russia and SRumania.)
 "3 The border states separated from Russia shall be given full right of self determination.'' CHalf column suppressed bv censor)
 l Even in the mutilated form that the resolutions came acroSs the frontier they
 indicate the strong opposition of thi. powerful industrial element and an UT. gent wish for peace.
 Another resolution, after describing thu general state of excitement among thu
 working classes, councils them not tt provoke general strike at present. bu | to get ready for the decisive fight ahead, between capital and labor. whicl 1t calls the great fight"
 1 The government is severly criticized fo the food regulations, the resolutions de claring that the upper classes hav' lnever been subjected to equality in eco homie sacrifice.

frauds of the recent primary, and if there were so large a number of frau dulent votes as are reported, then may there not have been enough of that kind to have defeated the actual ma jority?
 Tt is well enough t prospect the ma jority rule when it is a righteous ma jority. When hear a wrongdoer prating about the majority rule to confirm an injustice done to an individual or com munity of individuals I am reminded c. a story I heard about the fellow in ths country who had fallen into the hands of Il of his enemies. While they were discussing what disposition they should make of him there appeared over the hill a frowsy, elderly horseman in linen duster Who galloped toward them, way ing his arms and shouting. Hang hirn! Hang hirn' The leader of the mob at once asked the frowsy stranger what he knew Of the facts, whereupon the stranger answered. I do not know any thing abou. the facts. I never saw that man before, but there are II of you ana only one of him. and, by gosh, I believe in majority rule There is just as much 1 recent primary as in the case just men {! tioned.
 WILL PREVENT FRAUD "Certainly we will be sufficiently or ganized to see that the fraudulent votes cast for the successful candidate in tn , primary will not be counted in the gen. 1 eraI election. It was reported that there were 800 Of this kind. Whether there were 300 or 160. we will see that no su :h 1 frauds are committed in the November election.
 There are numbers of men who sup ported Mr Huddleston who are already pledging their support to me. I will hs disappointed if I do not get large pe-' centage Of the votes in the southwestern part of the county. I see no reason why l I should not be in better position to dig the Valley creek canal than will my op ponent, for he certainly will not be in DO
 sition to wield any influence in Congress with any party during the continuauct of the war or after the war"
 VOTERS SIGN PLEDGE The pledge which the voters are signing reads as follows:
 "We, the undersigned citizens of .h' Ninth congressional district of Alabama
 being desiroH of seeing our district rep
 resented by a 100 per cent American
 hereby irdorse the candidacy of Josepl 10. Thompson for Congress on his plat
 form of patriotism. Win the war; ant will gladly serve on his campaign com mittee.

Were fraudulent votes cast in the democratic primary election of August 1s? Joseph 0. Thompson. republican nominee for Congress from the Ninth district-J Jefferson county--says there were.
 If fraudulent votes were cast in the democratic primary, were there enough of them to affect the result? Mir. Thompson does not attempt to say how many of the votes cast in the primary were fraudulent.
 In an interview yesterday Mr. Thompson stated that he feels confi- dent of election in November TO achieve this result 1t will be neces- sary for him to get votes of several thousand democrats. He says he will get them, and some of these he says voted for George Huddleston, the dem ocratic nominee.
 COMMITTEE OF 5000
 Mr. Thompson expects to have a campaign committee of at least Sooo voters, and as there are only iapproxi- mately 2500 republicans in the district qualified to vote, necessarily he will have to enlist the aid of several hun the figures stated.
 Several papers were put in circula- ton yesterday to which the signatures of voters are heinz attached These will constitute MT. Trompson's cam paign committee. One of the hsta shown to an Age Herald reporter con- tained the names of several democrats some of the men have been active in party affairs but who, by their sfes- natures on this paper, pledge theni- selves to work for the election of Mir Thompson.
 How and why he expects to be elected, MT. Thompson explains:
 "Regarding the possibilities of my election, about which you have asked me. There were 1131 more votes boiled in Jefferson county for United States x senator than were boiled for all of the candidates for Congress in the recent democratic primary. There are nor mally 2500 republican voters. There are 20Q0 farmers who voted alm ,s solidly for MT. Huddleston, a large percentage of whom will gladly avai themselves of an opportunity to vots for a farmer as representative from one of the Alabama districts. It vii be recalled that the entire delegation from Alabama is now composed o lawyers. There is a large labor yot' that will be able to get as have { record of actual friendship towarS labor.

FOR HIGH TREASON
Former French Minister
of Interior Is Being
Tried

Paris, Jan. 2S.-Louis J. Malvy, for
mer minister of the interior appeared
today before the Senate organized as a
high court Of justice to answer charges
of high treason for acts committed
during the war in the exercise of his
official functions. The public and press
galleries were crowded and most of the
senators were in attendance when the
president OF the Senate, NJ. Dubost,
called the court TO order and three
robed government counsellers filed in,
preceding the entry of NJ. Malvy under
the escort of others.
Exceedingly pale, but apparently
self-composed the former minister re-
Piled to the preliminary interrogato-
ries. then with arms folded and head
thrown back in an attitude somewhat
expressive of defiance, listened UNI
moved to the accusation read by NJ
Merillon, chief of the government
counsel.
The preliminary proceedings. which
were devoid of spectacular interest,
came early to an end, after NJ. Boudil-
Ion, counsel for the defendant, had re-
piled to the accusation.
The court then went into the secret
council chamber to consider the legal
points raised by the demand of two
civilians to be made parties to the case.
