PREMIER DENIES ASKING AID
Czech Treaties, involving Pre-War
Debts and Other Obligations,
Are Cause Of Split Following
Threatened Disorders.

Vienna.-The Schober ministry re-
signed from office. The fall of the
cabinet has been expected for some
time and this, together with the great
decrease in the value Of the crown, has
heightened the seriousness of the whole
internal situation.
The government fell on the issue Of
the Czech treaties, which provoked
antagonlsm, the pan-Germans break
ing the working agreement whereby
the ministry had maintained its MAJOR
ity.
These treaties were passed in some
what modified form with regard to the
financial provisions involving pre-war
debts and other obligations.
1t is understood that Czecho- Slovakia
agrees to make due allowances for Aus
tria's financial plight and that mutual
guarantees of territorial integrity are
not considered as violating Austria's
future right to appeal to the League
of Nations on fusion with Germany,
while the right of asylum in Austria
for political refugees is construed as
covering irredentist propagandists
among the Czechian Germans.
Increase in the prices of food and
fuel, both Of which are scarce, has
stimulated the unrest and disorders
similar to those on December are
feared.
Police at Strategic Points.
The civil employees recently held a
demonstration in connection with
their demand for higher wages. They
marched to the Parliament; the young
or element became disorderly, and the
whole city was alarmed, places of bust
ness being closed. The police were
massed at strategic points, but no real
disorder occurred.
The following day the government
yielded to the demands, which involves
increased pay to the amount Of $780,
100000 crowns month. Then the
ianitors went on strike for more pay
and general readjustment of their
duties and emOluments.
With the announcement that the
circulation had passed the 200,000,000,-
600 mark, new notes o. denominations
of 5000 and $4,000 were issued in or
der to retire the emergency script, for
which the public showed distaste..
A parliamentary committee has
cleared Alfred Guertler, minister of
finance, of the charge that he profited
by informing banks in advance on the
foreign securities notification bill.
The London report that Austria had
notified the allies that unless immedi-
ate aid was forthcoming to stabilize
the crown, the government would not
be responsible for the consequences, Is
officially denied.

NO COMPROMISE
IS INTENDED BY
So Says Vice President
Of Company on Trip
to Casper Shops

81 want to say that there
will never be any compromise
on our part with the old rail-
road shop craft labor organi-
zation under any circum-
stances" said v. E. Bracken,
vice-presii-nt OF the Burlington sys.
TEN on his visit here to the c. e. y
Q. shops. Mr.. Bracken is on an in
spection tour of the Burlington lines
west.
II have made a tour of inspection
over the Burlington system. visiting
the principal shops and nowhere have
1 seen better progress han has been
made In Casper. One OF the chief sur
prises is how quickly Wyoming boys
in numbers have gained a knowledge
q the work. They are enterprlsing
and willing to learn. They r splen-
did material to work with.
"On July / there were 1900 men
in the shops OF the Burlington" Mr..
Braken declared. To-day there are
1850. We are gaining about 100 a
day. They are not all as skilled as
the men who left US but they are rap
idly becoming more so and n large
number OF engines are being over
hauled daily.
I'VE have granted higher wages and
have granted time and a half pay
for Sundays and holidays which the
labor board denied. We have made
the pay a little higher on the western
part of the lines because OF the higher
living costs and the disadvantages
here. We r the only railroad in the
western country that granted such
privileges.
w did not hire a professional
strike breaker as the term is generally
understood but recruited our men in
a great part from American boys of
the best character and citizenship.
They are contented and happy. We
see but a little ways ahead OF US a
perfectly normal condition on the Bur
~lington.
1T is to the advantage OF both the
men IND ourselves to deal directly
with each other. ironing out our DIFF.
ferences mar to man and we feel Ger.
tan there Will never be another coca
sion for one of these cruel strikes on
the Burlington.
w have been one OF the very few
railroads which have not yet closed
the door on the old men by withdraw.
ing pension privileges. Our passenger
performance is improving every day.
We load in excess OF 1.To0 cars OF
coal daily on the system which we
are moving with fair promptness.
The people OF Wyoming as a whole
have been very fair to us in his strug-
gle
