HUNGARIAN PREMIER ONCE
 A WORKMAN IN AMERICA

Berlin, Thursday. Aug. 7-CBy The A. P) Stephen Friedrich, Hungarian premier under Archduke Joseph. ac- cording to sketches of him published here, spent eight years in the United States as a workman in machinery plants. He became an engineer and owner of a machine manufactory. Up- on his return to Hungary he was ac- tive in politics for seven or eight years but did not hold office.
 Premier Friedrich was follower of Count Karolyi and accompanied the latter to the United States in 1914 and was interned with him in France on their return.
 Later the premier reached Budapest and became minister of war under Count karolyi
 The appointment of M. Friedrich as premier, according to despatches from Budapest, is generally accepted by Hungarian politicians as assur- ance that the government will be demoora tic -bourgeoise and not mon archistic in tone. although the dele gation of power to Archduke Joseph is commented upon as constituting vir- tual temporary military dictatorship.
