RAIL STRIKEN
VIENNA AFFECTS
FOOD DELIVERY
Due to Demand For
Higher Pay and SYM
pathy With Reds
b. Associated Press.

Vienna, March 2S.-A railroad
strike has been called and threatens
to spread to all the roads in this
country. The strike was called part
ly for higher wages and partly be-
cause of sympathy with the Hun
garian revolution. 1t is feared ii
may lead to the establishment of
a Soviet republic in German Aus
tria.
The trouble began on Wednes-
day night when men employed by
the Southern Railroad walked out.
All traffic over this road is at a
complete standstill, even allied food
trains from Trieste being stopped.
AS a result of this interruption of
transportation of supplies, Vienna
is threatened with famine. The sit
uation is considered extremely
grave.

Ladysmith, was out after wolves last
week The hounds started two wolves
up near the Big Seven Live Stock
Ranch, and were trailing them through
the 600-acre. pasture there, when the
wolves ran through the bunch of %
hogs. and a number of Angora goats
and the hounds lost the trail
Those pigs and goats seem to be on
friendly terms with the wolves, as we
have raised kids and pigs for two or
three years and have never lost one
from wild animals of any kind. A
couple of billy goats in flock of sheep
will keep the wolves away. We believe
the reason to he the smell of the goats
being distasteful to the wolves. The
billy goats are good scrappers too.
