RAIL STRIKE CUTS OFF FOOD
Capital Of Austria Likely to Suffer az
Result.

Vienna, March ga railroad strike
has been called and threatens to
spread to all roads in this country. The
strike was called partly for higher
wages and partly because Of sympathy
with the Hungarian revolution. 1t is
feared 1t may lead to the establish
ment of a soviet republic in German
Austria.
The trouble began when men en-
ployed by the Southern railroad
walked out. All traffic over this road
is at a complete standstill, ever AL
lied food trains from Thriest being
stopped. AS a result of this Interrupt
ton of transportation of supplies,
Vienna is threatened with famine. The
situation is considered extremely
grave.
