Mason City, Aug. 6.-Four colonies
of Austrians have sprung up in this
city and the residents OF the netehbor-
hoods where they have located are
making strenuous efforts to be rid of
them. One man who lives next door to
an Austrian rooming house where
twenty OF the foreigners live, SAYS that
their proximity Is becoming unbear-
able. That they take baths at 3 o'clock
in the morning on the back porch, that
they are at times terribly noisy, that
they openly drink beer on the lawn
and then fall asleep in a drunken
state, and that they fail to keep their
premises clean, are among the state-
ments that the neighbors are making
concerning them. An effort to stop the
beer drinking is being made by the
authorities and they made a raid on
place conducted by Mike Polovia
selling four barrels Of the brew. The
Austrians have been imported to dc
pit work at the brick and tile plants
This work Is very hard and it is diff
fcult to find Americans who will take
such work. Consequently the manu-
facturers have had to bring in the Aus
TRANS. They seem to like the place and
are inviting their friends and country
men to come and join them. The de-
mand for that sort of labor is on the
increase and Mason City faces a hard
problem concerning the ordering OF
their homes. The neighborhoods af-
flicted have suggested that the Aus
TRANS be segregated and they will
bring the matter up before the city
council
