Austria Protects Workers,
In order to prevent tho wholesale
dismissal of employees of private
firms, tho Austro-Hungarlan ministry
of war has directed that army con
tracts will only be given to those
firms who havo maintained their staffs
at the ordinary full number, and with
out any reduction in wages. Manu
facturers acting in a contrary man
ner will be rigidly excluded from all
further contracts, and they may also
expect to have existing contracts can

Tho recent growth of interest in
