SUPPORTING ROYALTY

The latest of the disclosures" so popular nowadays, show that Austrian archduchesses, including the former Empress Zita before she was married, drew from the government large retainers for monthly support and quarterly rent money. The Austrian State Bureau for Army Affairs, says an Asso- ciated Press correspondent, writing from Vienna, makes the revelations in an official statement.
 It shows that Empress Zita while still an archduchess drew as monthly support and for rent the equivalent of S3,100 at the peacetime rate of exchange. Her address was put down as either the Hofburg, or Schoenbrunn, both imperial palaces, which were placed, free, at the dis posal of the archduchess. She had however, in case of ennui. the choice of living in the palaces of Reich enau, Laxenburg, Gotzendorf, or the Belvedere in Vienna.
 Archduchess Auguste, wife of Archduke Joseph. received the equivalent of s14,78s; Archduchess Isabella, wife of Archduke Friedrich received s6,167; Archduchess Blan- ka, wife of Archduke Peter Ferdi- nand, s4,53s; and Archduchess Marie Anna, wife of Prince Elias of Parma. s3,416; and additional support for six children in 1918.
 Other disclosures reveal that clothes, linen, food and other things were drawn from military depots in huge amounts by the archducal families The case of the Arch duchess Isabella is particularly in teresting, since she had three es- tates, the Albrecht Palace in Vienna. another castle in Baden. and a great seat in Teschen, and her husband is considered one of the most wealthy men in Europe.

UTAH WORKERS
 AIDED BY WAR

SALT LAKE CITY-Utah does not face a serious problem in con- verting war industries-principa because very few government con- tracts were obtained in this state, due to transportation and distance from both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where such supplies were needed.
 There have been, however, ac- cording to the state council of de- fense, certain general effects in the state which have resulted from the conscious direction of the industries of the state from non-essential pro- duction Many of the manufactur- ing plants found it necessary dur ing the war to manufacture pro ducts, which during the pre-war times had not been in their regular line. This was due to the :estric- tions of the War Industries Board on the production of non-essentials In most cases the manufacture Of these essential products will be con- tinued.
 About 4,00O workers went into war industries from Utah, all of whom will benefit from the ex- perience and training obtained in the big industrial centers, according to deductions by the defense coun- cil. Their return to Utah, after having skilled training during the period of the war considered an asset to the state.

LABOR IN JAPAN

The labor question is receiving wide attention in Japan. The home office of the Imperial government has established a Relief Works com mitte to deal with the problem of unemployment due to the cessation of war-work. A firm policy is favored on the ground that freedom of holding meetings does not tend to lesson labor discontent, and that, in Japan, permission to organize unions does not seem as promising as the establishment of a labor arbitration court.
 Meanwhile a radical and inter- esting step has been taken by K. Matsukata, president of the Raw asaki Dock Coo, of Kobe. who, in distributing about s5,000.00O profits at the end of the year. has allotted three-fourths to his workmen and other employees as against one fourth to the directors of the com pany. Mir. Matsukata is a graduate of Yale and the eldest son of Mar quis Matsukata, one of the four re- maining Genro or Elder statesmen of the empire.

BRITISH WOMEN
 ORGANIZING NOW

LONDON.-Lady Rhondda, presi- dent of the Women's Industrial League, announces in a letter to the newspapers that the object of the new league is to organize indus trial women workers of all classes so that they may speak with one voice on matters of common con- cern in the employment of women in industry. District committees are beig formed in industrial centers and these committees will select members of the Central Executive Council.
 Lody Rhondda describes Premier Lloyd Georges promise to organize women in industrial work as what amounts to new charter of women's industrial rights" His pledge that new industries shall re- main open to the employment of women, she says, opens a new fu- ture for women and will make it possible for them not only to fill we'll paid vacations, but to rise to the highest positions in the indus trial world.
 But" she added, they must band themselves together to fight for their future and this league with it's annual subscription of one shilling gives them the opportunity. l am glad to say they are embrac- ng it in large numbers"
