.AUStTia-Hungaria
Defends Worker
Ambassador Won Hengervar Demands
Inquiry Into Killing BY Troop
" At Bethlehem, Pa.

;, Washington, D. C.,-The killing
of the Hungarin steelworker, Joseph
Szambo, by the state Constabulary at
Bethlehem has been taken up by
Baron Won Henervar, Ambassador
from Austria-Hungaria, and will COM
pei the United States Government to
make official investigation, to be fol-
lowed, If the facts presented are sus-
tanned. by punishment of the trooper,
John T. Monaghan of Company B, and
a monier reparation to the dead
mans family.
This action of the Austria-Hun-
garin Embassy was brought about by
the arrival in Washington of COM
mittee from the Bethlehem striking
steel workers, headed by Jacob Taz-
elaar, Organizer for the American
Fereration of Labor, who had been
given "a power Of attorney by the
wife and children of the. dead Hun
garin.
Organizer TaZelaar recited to the
Huagarin Ambassador how before
the arrival of the State Constabulary
not a single record of arrest had been
placed upon the police blotter in
Bethlehem; that orderly public meet
ings had been held by the strikers,
attended in person by Chief of Police
Hugo Kelly and Burgess O. l.. Priest,
and that the State Constabulary ar
rived in town marching three abreast
down the main. street, two mounted
troopers on each side riding their
horses upon the sidewalk among the
women and children for the apparent
purpose Of terrorizing the populace.
At the corner of Third and Linden
Streets, within two blocks of the City
Hall, they began firing, one shot en-
tered the Hotel Majestic and pierre
ing the brain of Joseph Szambo. The
demand Of the Chief of Police upon
the Commander of the constabulary
to. surrender the trooper who fired
the shot was at first met by a curt
refusal, and not for three days
after the killing was was the man
finally given up to the city author
tiles; 0fly to be Immediately released
on SD, 600 bail furnished By repre-
FsentatiYe of the Bethlehem Steel
ConIpany. .#
F., Continuous acts Of lawlessness were
berpretrated by the mounted con-
stabulary upon union men going to
and from meetings. One Hungarin,
on the way to a Federal Union meet
ing accompanied by his wife, was at
tackled by three troopers, beaten over
the head until he was unconscious,
and his union book torn up. So open
and fragrant were the acts of these
american Cossacks' that the local
clergy protested and public sentiment
among merchants and business men
turned completely in favor of the
strikers
That it is necessary to appeal to a
foreign power in order to protect
working men in the United States is
scandal that Washington author
tiles are making every effort to dis
avow, but the action Of the Austria
Hungarin Embassy has placed the
matter in light where 1t cannot
be- hidden.
