WANT A NEUTRAL LAND
Austria May Be Placed in Nom
Dangerous Position Soon.

Dangerous Position soon.
Paris, March 11.-While the pos
sible naturalization of Austria has not
as vet come before the Big Five in a
formal manner, 1t is being discussed
here. Certain socialistic elements in
Austria are striving hard to prevent
naturalization but there are other in
fluences which are anxious to see 1t
effected as it would give Austria pro-
lection similar to that enjoyed by Swift
Zerland.
The proposed union of Austria with
Germany is presenting many diff
culties and German interests are en-
deavoring to effect a division of Aus
tria so that the German section may
be annexed. Many of the members of
the entente are unfavorably disposed
toward the naturalization of any part
of Austria as il is regarded as unde-
sirable and embarrassing to country
seeking membership in the league Of
nations. Swizerland's neutrality pre-
sents many problems to the supreme
council as her status would be uncer-
tain, should she be admitted to the
league and still retain her neutrality
as she desires.
There is possibility, however. that
the peace conference will consider the
naturalization of the Austrian Tyrol
which would afford protection to the
northern Italian frontier.

New York, March 11.--With many

Dor warkers, threats were made today
by the marine workers affiliation to

terms under which settlement between
the railroads and their harbor en-
pioyes was reached.
That the federal government might
intervene and operate privately owned

to foreign commerce was considered
a possibility by many shipping men

resulted from assertions that any prospect
