TENSION in
AUSTRIA IS
INCREASING
Strikes and Various Other

Hotels are Guarded.

Vienna. Jan. 13.--Tension over the
existing economic anu political situa-
ton in the Austrian republic seems to
be increasing. Doors of the big no.
tells in Vienna are. shuttered at dusk
because of Communist demonstra-
tions against them as symbols of
profiteering.
Postal employees have announced
they have called a strike, the Socialist
element demanding that these work
ers be organized as labor union
The conservatives refused to cay
whether they will declare strike
against the strike or their co-work-
ers. Mail collections ceased at 6
o'clock tonight. and telephone and
telegraph services will be suspended
tomorrow night if matters are not
settled before that time. 1t is be-
! lieved. however. that an adjustment
is improbable and that genera
strike will be called.
Officials in foreign circles. who
have come in close contact with the
situation. assert Austria is approach
ing climax of some sort, and the
general uneasiness was increased by :
report printed here today that former
! Emperor Charles was already on hi
way from Switzerland to Hungary.
