Vienna, Dec. 5.-The Austrian re-
public is passing through states S
rights crisis very similar to that
which marked an earlier stage of the
American republic. Provinces are de-
manding a high degree Of independ-
ence from the central government
and in some of them such as Tyrol
and Upper Austria and Syria, it
amounts almost to complete au-
tonomy. If their demands are
eventually granted about the only
thing that would be left to the CEN
trail government would be foreign re-
lations and. the regulation of foreign
import and export traffic and limited
taxation. 49,.
The states insist upon their right
to levy export duties on goods
destined for other states. Students of
the situation say this is merely q
phase Of the transition stage through
which the new republic is passing
and will gradually cure itselfs

1ation, the peasantry and bourgeoisie

Rhinow Says Troops Check
ed Serious Troubles in
the Woods.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. ga con-
spiracy among 1. w. w. members and
other reds for q holiday season Of
violence and disorder in northern
Minnesota has been abandoned, due
to the stationing of national guards
men at International Falls, Adjutant
General w. F. Rhinow said today.
General Rhinow arrived at the capitol
after an investigation tour in the
northern part Of the state, mainly In
lumber camps where the radicals
were reported most active.
His view of conditions is more
alarming than that of Major H. L.
Brady. United States property and
disbursing officer, who was with him
on the entire trip. General Rhinow
plans to make a written report to
Governor Burnquist before the latter
leaves with his family for Dayton,
Iowa, to spend Christmas with rela-
tives.
Minnesota faced situation more
grave than any in its history" the
general asserted, "and the sending Of
troops to International Falls proved
timely and effective. Otherwise a
violent uprising probably would have
resulted on Christmas eve, as the rad
icals planned and there might have
been serious trouble over wide Pc
r'iod. Now the danger has at least
been temporarily AVOIDED"
Troops Stopped Trouble.
General Rhinow said the most SEN
sational report reached him from
Canadian officials. But it was
said" he added. that the radicals
would break loose pm both sides of
the border. The lawless uprising has
been thwarted through the stationing
OF troops at International Falls.
He said the, guardsmen will be held
there indefinitely: as precaution
against new conspiracy. The diff
Guilty OF obtaining direct first hand
information was discussed by the
general.
Everybody is afraid to talk to
strangers" he said 'They would
make statements in confidence but
refused to confirm them in the pres.
ence of others
The general said he was unable 10
make an estimate of the number of
1. W.W.'s or radicals in the various
localities, or of the percentages of
reds" in the lumber camps. .1vcry-
and it is hard to get direct trace of
their activities" he explained.
Small towns in the numbering. dis
tricts of St. Louis, Beltrami and
Koochiching counties are infested
with radical agitators and organizers
who make business Of encouraging
idleness and lawlessness and urge
men to join the 1. w. W., and stay
out of the camps, according to the
best information.
Worse In Canada.
The menace is greater on the Can
adian side of the border, General
Rhinow said, as was indicated by in
formation furnished by Canadian po-
lice that was not obtainable on the
Minnesota side.
Governor Burnquist after a brief
interview with General Rhinow late
today commented on the general sit
uation as follows:
The st. Cloud national guard
company has been returned and the
volunteers from Winona have taken
their place at International Falls.
The general is to make written re-
port later. He stated today in effect
that there are number Of 1. w. WIS
in that country. He believes that SO
per cent Of the men in the camps in
koochiching county are members of
the 1. w. w. They are driving away
the men who desire to work in the
camps"
