By Associated Press.
PARIS, May 12. The
Peace Treaty with Austria is
nearing completion and an of
ficial summary of it is being
prepared, as was done in the
case of the German treaty.
Although it is not so stated
in the treaty, the new Aus
trian frontier is the one desig
nated by the secret treaty of
London, giving Italy all the
strategic heights and defen
sive passages.
In an effort to reach an un
derstanding on the Italian ques
tion the Peace Conference lead
ers have renewed their efforts in
view of the imminence of the ar
rival of the Austrian peace dele
gates in France. The Austrian
delegates are expected to arrive
at St. Germain on Wednesday.
Consultations were begun to
day between Foreign Minister
Sonnino, of Italy, and Colonel
Edward M. House, of the Amer
ican delegation.
Meanwhile the German delegates
at Versailles are attempting to draw
the representatives ot' the 'Allied and
associated governments into oral I
discussion of the peace treaty pre- '•
sented to the Germans last Wed-'
nesday.
Hun Propaganda in Note
French opinion, as reflected in the
newspapers, regards one of thei
notes sent to Premier Clemenceau
as president of the Peace Conference j
by Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau,'
head of the German mission, as dis- i
tinctly of a propagandist order. Thisi
is the note advancing a counter pro
ject as to international labor legis-j
lation, which the French argue is in
tended to convince the Socialist and
the laboring classes of the Allied'
countries in general, that the pres- j
ent German government is working ■
in their favor.
Assembly Meets To-day
The German cabinet council, under
the chairmanship of President Ebert, i
took up yesterday tlie question of!
counter proposals to the peace terms j
to be made by the German dele- J
gation at Versailles, and a commit
tee from tlie German national as
sembly met during the day and dis- i
cussed the terms of peace.
The national assembly will meet j
in Berlin to-day, and it is expected i
that Chancellor Scheidemann will |
give some idea of the German reply
to the Allies.
French Cruisers Wait
Allied forces are reported in a dis-i
patch originating at Helsingfors.!
Vin'and, to be preparing for an at- |
tack on Petrograd. It is said that!
SO.OOO men will be engaged in the |
operation and that French cruisers
now are lying before Helsingfors,
presumably ready to take part in the
attack.

dustrial depression works a hard
ship on men laid off, the Pennsylva
nia convention of the International

The machinists compose the ad
vance guard of the delegates who
to-morrow will open the annual ses
sion of the State Federation of La- 1
bor.

"Whereas, The reduction of the
working force during periods of de
pression in industry works great
hardship to the men who are laid
off and. therefore be it
"Resolved, That when the neces
sity for a curtailment of production
arises in any industry that the hours ;
of labor by day and week shall be ;
reduced rather than any reduction !
be made in the working force, and ;
further bo it
"Resolved, That the State Lodge
of Machinists in convention assem
bled recommend to the State Feder
ation of Labor that the reduction
of hours be advocated as a national
industrial policy to promote equal
opportunity for constant employ
ment of all industrial workers and
that the State Federation recom
mend this policy to the A. F. of L.

lodges that no recognition to a dual
union under the name of the Inter

organizations of the railroad em
