BUSINESS SUSPENDED
FOLLOWING DISORDER
IN AUSTRIAN CAPITAL
Newspaper Claim Riots We're
Result of Miseries and De-
spair of People.

Vienna, Dec. 2.-(By The Associat.
ed Press. Virtually all business was
suspended Friday as consequence OF
the serious rioting which ragged in the
city yesterday. Daylight disclosed the
real extent of the damage, which is
estimated by the newspapers at many
billions of crowns. The plate glass
losses alone are said to be more than
6OO.OO0,O00 crowns.
The business streets presented a
desolate expanse Of iron -shuttered or
boarded-up shops, interspersed with
broken glass doors and windows, dis
closing wrecked and lotted interiors
In addition to the attacks on the fash
ionable hotels, and shops, many per-
sons were dragged from snowy auto
mobiles and beaten. Among those who
were roughly handled was Sir w. A. NJ
Goods, of the Austrian section of the
reparations commission, who occupied
the state suite OF. the old Bristol hotel
His apartment was destroyed, and
many of his personal effects were
stolen.
Presenting the views of workingmen
the Arbeiter Zeitung says the riot came
as a result Of miseries and despair and
warns the government and the monied
classes The newspaper advises the
workers in the following words:
"Let us finish with demonstrations,
but remain ready and resolved that
when the first call is issued for dis
ciplined battle we may be ready"

WILL URGE SUBSIDY
To PUT MERCHANT
MARINE ON FEET
President Harding Will Ask
Congress Appropriation to
Help American Interests.

Washington, Dec. g President
Harding will send special message
to congress early in January recon-
mending the establishment of a ship
subsidy policy by the United States,
it was learned Friday.
The message will contain definite
recomm endations and will take up the
whole subject of the American mer-
chant marine and methods of increasing
it's utility and assuring it's permanence.
Studies are now in progress for its
preparation.
Chairman Lasker of the shipping
board, and other officials directly con-
cerned with the marine situation have
given their assistance in formulating
the details of subsidy proposals. The
amount of money necessary, it was
said. has not yet been determined One
of the obstacles toward preferential
treatment of American vessels by the
government lies in series of treaties
negotiated with other maritime nations
forbidding such action and although the
merchant marine act of 1919 contained
mandatory instructions that all such
treaties be abrogated, President Hard
ing Is expected to inform congress
that it is impossible to enforce that
provision Of the law. As an alternative
to this, it is expected that the sub
sidy policy will be advanced.

China s Delegates Make
1t Clear They Stand
Firm on Position.
Japanese Present View
Regarding Control of
Railroad System.

Washington, Dec. 2.-(By The AS.
/ sociated Press. .)-Delegates of China
and Japan in their conversations
brought. about by the Hughes, Balfour
offer of good offices for the settlement
| the two nations, went to the very
heart of the disputed Friday, each nation
reasserting positions taken in the four
recent notes exchanged between Toxic
and Peking with particular reference
to the Using Tao Tsinanfu railroad.
The Chinese delegates made clear
that in entering to this informal con-
ference for the settlement Of the Shan
tung dispute they had mo desire to
have it inferred" that China had re-
ceded from it's known attitude with
refrence to the treaties and statutes
which are in dispute between the two
countries relative to the kiau Chow
leasehold.
Frank, Friendly Spirit
The Japanese delegates presented the
Japanese position concerning control
of the Tsingtao Tsinan Flu railroad on
the basis of the japanese note of Sep
tember Z, looking to joint control.
Delegates participating in the meet
ing made known that the eonyersa--
friendly spirit. Conversations win be
resumed Monday afternoon when the
discussion on control of the railroads
will be continued. -
The far eastern committee Debated,
without result. the question Of with
drawing foreign troops from China. A
broader declaration of policy on the
troop question may be adopted in the
far eastern committee Saturday.
Informal Discussions
Informal '.reund table" discussions
which followed presentation of the po-
sitions of the respective countries rela-
tive to the disputed kiau Chow leased
territory, centered Immediately upon
the question of control of hte realroad.
Both delegations conceded at the out
set that no settlement could be reach
ed until the question was disposed Of
DR.. Wellington Koo. for China, re-
asserted the position that the railroad
be owned and administered by the Chi
nese government. as set forth in
China's reply of October 5, to Japan s
offer of Septebmer Z, to restore the
kiau Chow leashold conditionally.
Wants Full Control.
While the exchange of views was
said to have been animated by the
friendliest spirit and purpose to recon
ellie the respective demands, the first
step directed toward modification of
positions on either side remains to be
taken. China's stand for undivided
authority over the railroad was said by
member of the Chinese delegation at
ter the meeting, still to be firm. No
intimation was given by the Jananese
as to whether they would be willing to
recede from their demand for joint
control.
The Japanese advanced their propo-
sition that the railroad should be OPP
Grated as joint Sino-J Japanese enter
prise, believing this to embody con-
citation, since Germany, whose rights
Japan contends she has inherited, had
controlled the line entirely.
