BIG STRIKE is FEARED
ON AUSTRIAN RAILWAYS
Situation Made Grave by Refusal of
Ministry to Recognize
Mems Organization.
Foreign Correspondence Of The star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The star.
VIENNA. October IL fo1i
The danger of a general strike on the
Austrian state railways, which has been
threatening for some time, has now be-
come acute, owing to the refusal of the
ministry of railways to recognize the
mems organizations or negotiate with the
leaders of them. The railway employees
in Austria are organized in bodies CORE
spending to trade unions, according to
their nationality, but there is central
body called the national coalition, which
is constituted out Of the German Czech,
Polish and Slovene organizations.
4 deputation representing this coalition
went to the railway ministry to lay its
demands before DR.. Won Roll. the perma-
nent under secretary, who acts tempo
rarily as minister since the last recon-
struction of the cabinet Or. Won Roll.
however declined to see the deputation
on the ground that member of the
reichsrath. who was not a railway en-
ploye but an official of a Czech trade
union accompanied ii spokesman and
declared that he could only negotiate with
the state railway employees directly. Aft
er consulting with the priln" minister he
renewed his refusal. ard tho deputation
departcd lit high 1udgeou. having refused
to appear without its spokesman.
