Vienna Desolate
Expanse Of Ruin
Following Riots

VIENNA, Dec. q Virtually all
business, was suspended today as a
consequence of the serious rioting
which ragged here yesterday. Damage
is estimated by the newspapers at
many billions of crowns. The plate
glass losses alone are said to be more
than six hundred million crowns.
The business streets presented a
desolate expanse of iron shattered
or boarded up shops, .nterspersed
with broken glass doors and win
dows. disclosing wrecked and looted
interiors. In addition to the attacks
on the fashionable hotels and shops
many persons were dragged from
snowy automobiles and beaten.
Among those who We're roughly
handled was Sir W. a. NJ. Goode, of
the Austrian section of the repara-
tions 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 working
men, the Arbeiter Zeitung says the
riot came as a result of miseries and
despair and warns the government
and the monied classes.

The case has occupied the court for

Gavin McNab, chief defense coun-

continuation of his closing argument.
He was followed by Milton U'Ren,
assistant district attorney, whose
summing up lasted nearly an hour.
The court room was crowded
throughout the day and the adjoin-
ing corridors also held an anxious,
crushing crowd that taxed the ability
and good nature of the augmented
police guard. Arbuckle appeared TO
show deep interest in the arguments
especially that of McNab, who char

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

employees STRIKE ORDER
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

CHICAGO, Dec. 2-Conflicting re-
ports from the unions and packers In
various parts of the country today
showed a wide divergence of opinion
regarding the effectiveness of the
strike called for Monday in the ma
tons packing plants by the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of North America.
Union officials asserted that be-
tween 30 and 95 per cent of their men
would walk out.
Representatives Of the packers
were inclined not to take the strike
seriously. asserting that the plants
would continue to operate while some
even expressed doubt that the strike
would occur.
Kansas today took measures to
prevent the strike when the states
attorney general filed a complaint in
the Kansas court of industrial rela-
tons against both the union and
packers.
Resolutions declaring that all en-
ployes of Armour and company who
go ON strike would lose their jobs
and place themselves beyond the pro-
lection of the plant conference board

mittee of the Armour plant. Similar
resolutions were adopted by Armour

divisional committee is composed of
