WORKERS OPENLY
OPPOSE RED RULE
Railway Men in Hungary
Strike in Protest of
Soviet Dictatorship.
BY A. r.. DECKER.
Special Cable to The Star and the Chi
cago Daily News, Copyright, 1919.

BUDAPEST. Hungary. June (via
Paris. France, June 13).-Yeste rday
occurred the first open opposition
against the soviet dictatorship in
Hungary. The railroad workers at
nearly all the stations struck and
remained out until this morning.
For a long time the railway men
have been talking of open resistance
to the tyrannical DEGREES of the die
tators. They have been conducting
a passive strike along the entire rail-
road system, hampering the trains
and troops.
The railroad men are "mensheviki"
(social revolutionists). and are strik-
ing more because they wish to regain
their liberty than because of their
conditions of work or pay. Appar-
emily the demands of the railroad
men are that they be paid in blue
money and not forced to wait in line
before the shops.
I"Blue" money is believed to be the
coinage of the former Hungarian
kingdom.l

Men in Open Opposition.

The day before the strike l returned
from a trip along the entire strip
of the southern railroad not occu-
pied by the Serbs, and noticed the
discomfort among the railroad men.
They talked in open opposition to the
government and in violent speeches
denounced the men who had ruined
their country. Considering the ter
ror under which Hungary exists to-
day, l was surprised that these men
dared to talk in such a manner. /
was more surprised to find that red
soldiers in the compartments talked
in the same strain, and surely no
one could doubt the unpopularity of
the bolsheviki.
The strike is significant for more
than one reason. 1t shows that there
is opposition among the workmen
against the dictatorship. and it shows
that the communists intend to use
force against the workmen if they
dare assert themselves against the
idiocy of the present system. For
a time yesterday evening the red.
white and green of the Hungarian
national flag f1oated over the central
station and the red flag was torn
down and trampled upon.
But the red troops. who are highly
paid thugs of the government, rushed
to the station and captured all the
railroad men within. These were ZOO
badly organized. and too few to offer
serious resistance. A great many of
the railroad leaders were taken pris-
oners and are now occupying cells.
1t is expected that they will be re-
leased.

Plan to Hamper Government.

These are more or less excuses to
hamper the government, because it
is generally known that nearly all the
blue money is either boarded by in
dividualS or sent out of the country
for propaganda purposes The gov
eminent could not continue paying
wages in blue money. especially if
the other unions should make the
same demands as the railread work
ers. Further, the railroad men de-
mand exemption from military serv-
ice.
The strike this morning was set
tied at most of the stations, but the
workers at the south station are still
out. All the demands were granted
and the railroad men will receive blue
money while it lasts. They will have
special cards allowing them prece-
dence in the lines before the shops
and will be exempt from military
service. 1t has been promised them
that a little gold also will be used
in paying their wages. Doubtless
this will come from melted jewelry.
but will not include the 100000
crowns (s40O,Oo0) in bar gold sent
to Vienna recently, or that struggled
out by supposedly friendly officers.

Railway Men Killed.

In another town some railroad men
were killed because they refused to
enter the military service. 1t is not
yet known how the south station
railroaders are making out. All the
older unions will sooner or later join
the railroaders in opposition to the
government. These will include metal
workers, wood workers. printers.
miners and united trade unions.
Every man with a spark of intelli-
gence is opposed to the present
regime.
1t is possible that deputation of
workers will try TO communicate with
the entente. providing they can avoid
the bolshevist spies. and ask under
what conditions the entente would
consider intervention for the purpose
of Iiberating the Hungarian workmen
from the tyranny depressing them:
But even the moderate members OF
the government are carefully watch
ed, so that communication with the
outside world is very difficult.

COMEDY HIT ~
FOR CRESCENT

THE Lost Princess" the new
comedy vehicle for the William Fol-
stars Albert Ray and Elinor Fair
tells the love story of two newspaper
people, and much of the action takes
place in newspaperdom. To make
the picture true to life a complete
newspaper office was set UP for the
screening, under the direction to two
newspaper men, who had worked on
large metropolitan dailies. Every
body was there from the managing
editor to the copy boy, n the offices
were fitted and decorated like the
real thing" even to the chute
through which copy is shot to the
composing room.
The managing editor and city editor
did their work under close scrutiny of
the experts, with perfect "atmos-
phere" as a result.
In this romantic picture, which will
be run tomorrow and Thursday, the
clever yong comedian Ray plays the
part of a young man who breaks
away from the farm to plunge Into
the newspaper world. Instead of find
ing fame he finds fortune in the heart
of q clever newspaper woman, who
helps him make good with a big story
which is really the story of her
own life-the story of a lost princess
who has fed to America from revolu-
tionary Burvania under an assumed
name.
Through many thrills of snappy
comedy mingled with delightful ro-
nance, the picture ends with two
hearts full of happiness.
Elinor Fair, who as co-star with
Albert Ray, is appearing in The Lost
Princess" declares she believes In the
god of coincidence, for the princess in
doing the part of the princess in
this delightful comedy, she wanted to
see how a princess behaved in real
life.
"All of a sudden, right in Los An
geles. 1 met one, a princess by mar
riage," she says, land found that she
had written a book, raised a family
and administered her own household.
and was quite natural and human"
After that meeting the pretty lit
tie actress decided she need only put
her natural self into the part Of 1.-The
Lost Princess" Doubtless this &C.
counts for much of the fascination of
this p~hotoplay of mystery and love.
