TEUTON SOCIALISTS
IN GERMAN PROTEST
Conference at Vienna Protests
Hun Domination of Russia
and Rumania.

Bernc, July 20 Details received here
Of the recent national conference at Vienna
of the German Socialist Democratic party
of Austria show that strong protest
was made against the Austro-t German
domination of Russia and Rumania, and
new and liberalized peace formula was
presented This IL one of the powerful
organizations OF Austria, and the national
conference was attended byrepresenta-
tivos of all branches of industry from lower
and upper Austria and from the Alpine
regions and the south The resolutions
recite
The national congress of the German
socal democratic party OF Austria pro-
tests against the Brest- -Litovsk and the
Bucharest treaties rs contrary 90 the
principle of peace Of understanding
without annexation and contributions.
(Tcn lines suppressed by CENSOR.
The Congress therefore demands that,
before the ratification of these peace
treaties they be laid before the parlia-
rnent for examination and amendment
The national congress demands that
the governments of the Central power
offer general peace TO the government
of the Entente on the following basis:
Il Establishment of league of
peoples of all countries, which will carry
out general disarmament and settle all
disputes between peoples by courts of
arbitration
- Abandonment Of all anne xation
and contributions, not only in tn e west
and south, but also IN the east and south
east Not only as to Belgium, France,
Serbia and Italy, but also as to Russia
and Rumania
"3 The border States separated from
Russia shall be gwen full right of self
determination" (Half column suppress
ed by censor)
Even in the mutilated form that the
resolutions came across the frontier they
indicate the strong opposition of this
powerful industrial element and an urgent
wish for peace
Another resolution after describing the
general state of excitement among the
working classes, councils them not to
provoke a general strike at present, but
to get ready for the decisive fight ahead
between capital and labor. which it calls
''the great fight.
The government is severely criticised
for the food regulations, the resolution
declaring that 'the upper classes have
never been subjected to equality in eco
nomic sacrifice. They have escaped the
prlvatlons of the war partly by exceptional
regulations working in their favor and
partly by circumventing the law, and
partly by clandestine purchase on ford
supplies, thus leaving the poor class TO
bear the burden.

who informed those who asked him to
buy one, that he would not and it was
no ones business if he didn't, was
shown where to get off at by some of

parture of said party we believe he
found Randall too patriotic place for
him to reside. The highly decorated
buggy was hauled through the main
