AUSTRIAN LABOR
SHOWS SPIRIT,
WINS STRIKES
Hand and Brain Work
ers UniteAgainst Bosses

VIENNA-Two great strikes in
private industry in Austria--that of
the metal workers and Of the brain
workers in industry-have ended
with victories to the workers.
Acting under the inspiration they
got from SHINES and other German
industrials in snatching one workers
right after another away from labor,
the industrials Of Austria seemed to
think the time had come for them
to 'show labor it's place" When
therefore, the workers in the metal
trades and the white collar slaves"
in factories came forward with de-
mands for wage increases in accord
ance with the index figure for the
cost of living, the bosses declared
they were willing to make individual
raises, but not to do so collectively.
This was so obviously blow to the
principle Of collective bargaining that
the workers declined these terms.
They were then locked out. But hand
and brain workers joined hands, and
a wild" strike of the electrical work
ers breaking out just then was also
sanctioned by the unions, tho begun
against their decision. Before this
triple front the bosses then collapsed
and the result was a victory for the
workers all along the line.

Ward University
Gift Monument of
Labor's Patience

Mrs. A. Montgomery Ward, widow
of the mail order king, will give
$1,000, 100000 to Northwestern Uni
versity for the endowment of hos
pital. The gift, she said, would be
an appropriate memorial to her late
husband, Montgomery Ward. 1t is
the fourth million given by Mrs.
Ward within a year.
Employees of the Montgomery Ward
Co. believe that the gift should be
memorial to their patience and
never failing industry. They point
out that they are compelled to work
overtime whenever the bosses con-
slider overtime necessary. They do
not get paid for overtime work. Is
pecially during the Christmas season
overtime is demanded. If they work
long enough they are given so cents
as supper money. If, however, they
only work an hour and half or two
hours overtime they get nothing.
IF overtime were paid, 1t might
cost the company a million a year.
Since they don't pay, it they can af-
ford to be generous" was the way

SYMPHONY BILL
Cecilia Hansen Plays
Saint-Saens
By ALFRED '. FRANKENsTEIN

Frederick Stock, director Of the
Chicago Symphony orchestra, was
not at his accustomed desk at the or
chestra concert Friday and Saturday.
He is directing in Philadelphia this
week end, and Eric Delamarter, as
sistant conductor, directed. There
are vague and authenticated rumors
that Mr.. Stock may resign from the
Symphony-but that is another
story.
The concert opened with Weber's
overture to "Oberon," fairy opera,
with an overture consisting of tran
quill, Nocturnal movements contrast
ing with brilliant, vigorous, themes.
Mr.. Lindemann played the clarinet
solo in it superbly.
The first symphony of Georges
Enesco, the modern Roumanian COM
poser, followed. The first move
ment of the symphony contains excit-
ed, agitated music, contrasted with
musical suggestions of the peace of
great landscapes at dusk. The sec
ond movement is tragic, like the slow
march of silent, shrouded figures
Lnru darkness. Inc JnlTQ ana laSb
movement is like the first, contrasts
Of calmness, and complex emotional
confusion. The movement suggests
Wagner.
The soloist was that glorious Val
kyr of the violin, Cecilia Hansen.
She played the Saint-Saens third con-
certo. This is one of the great mas
terpieces of musical art. Like the
fifth piano concerto, played last
week, Saint-Saens has introduced a
folk song into the second movement,
this time one Of the Sicilian peasants.
The whole concerto is one long ec-
stacy of pre- beauty and, at the end
of the second movement, touches
the highest altitude that music can
carry the human soul.
The concert closed with three SIa-
vonic dances by Dvorak, which are
weak and tame limitations of the
Hungarian dances by Brahms.
Next week there will be no SOLO
list; the orchestra will play Ceasre
Franck's symphony, and five short
numbers, by Beethoven, Wagner,
Strauss and Panizza.

Ask Carpenters to
Stay A u ay from
Sedalia, Missouri

SEDALIA, Mo.-Union carpenters
here are concerned over the large in
fiux of carpenters from other cities.
Commercial bodies have been broad
casting reports of an alleged build
ing boom in Sedalia, in response to
which hundreds of carpenters have
come here from a distance, only to
find they have been fooled. Practi-
cally so per cent of the membership
of the carpenters district council
have been idle during the late sum-
mer and fall, and the situation grows
worse during the winter.
For every job in Sedalia there are
five carpenters here now" says cir
cular letter sent out by the carpen-
ter's council. "a further influx of
carpenters at this time would hamper
the effectiveness of our organization
in maintaining present union condi-
tons. Carpenters, stay way from
Sedalia."

tended by ten thousand, voted for the
Communists proposal to persist in
the struggle. The same was true
of the Boryslav Naptha mines, where
there were serious clashes with the
soldiery, costing three lives of work
ers.
The full utilization Of the Cracow
victory thru the sharpening Of the
general strike which was just be-
ginning to develop and which would
have undoubtedly led to the over
throw of the lettering reactionary
government, was thwarted by the
most ignominious betrayal by the
Social Democrats. Nevertheless the
occurrences which have been de-
scribed remain an experience of the
very highest significance for the fur
Their struggles of the Polish working
class.
The most important thing, and
which is obvious, is the spontaneous
readiness to fight. eagerness to fight
and fighting initiative of the labor
ing masses, even Of those who until
a short time ago were passive and
Indifferent. In particular, the Cra-
cow episode has presented model
for an armed struggle, which will
call for imitation in all future strug-
giles.
The Communist Party, of course,
was always in the first ranks thru
out Of all the struggles Of the past
weeks. 1t will be their task now
to utilize the lessons of the struggles
for preparing the coming ones, not
only the political lessons, but also
the organizational and tcchnical-nili-
tary ones.
The Polish revolution is on the
march. For the Polish comrades it
means that they must arm, without
losing a single hour.

ABOUT complete change In the sem
timent of the Upper Silesia work
ers. The nationalist spell which for
years completely dominated the
minds of the Upper Silesian work
ers, gave way to the sharpest class
struggle.
The fight in Upper Silesia was
hardly over when a general uprising
of miners in the neighboring coal
basin of Dombrova ard Czarnov
broke out, ending once more in a
victory for the workers.
On the heels Of that came the
strike Of the textile workers Of the
LODI District.
Turn Of the Railroad Workers
Now it was the turn of the rail
road workers. The struggle began
in Lemberg at the end of October,
as an "outlaw" strike. but at the
end Of few days. despite the pas
siveness of the official trade union
leadership it involved the whole Of
Poland's network Of railroads. The
government declared the militariza-
ton Of the railroads and put the
railway workers under military iu-
risdiction. In Cracow, where the
striking railroaders openly sabotaged
the CONSUMPTION order, martial law
was declared.
A mighty unrest seized upon the
whole working class. Even the re-
formist clique Of leaders who carried
on secret negotiations with Kor-
family all the time, could no longer
remain silent without losing the rest
Of their influence upon the workers.
Under the pressure of the masses
the Polish Socialist Party, and the
Trade Union Commission decided to
call out the whole working class to
a general strike of sympathy with
the railroad workers, to begin on
November 5.
Monday, Nov. 5, the general strike
started in almost all the labor CEN
tiers of Poland. Even in those dis
tricts where big strikes had been
fought out only a short while ago,
and which did not learn in time
of the decision for a general strike.
even in such places it was decided
in workers meetings TO join in the
strike in a few days, as for instance
in LODI and Upper Silesia. In the
meantime the event of Tuesday oc-
Cured which gave the whole fight
a new turn.
The scene of this event was Ora
cow. The strike here was complete;
the anger of the masses which was
constantly being stirred by police
and military measures grew hourly.

Already on Monday thsre had been
bloody clashes with the police on
which there were wounded on both
sides. Tuesday morning the district
around the Workers Home was
blocked by the police; an immense
crowd of workers gathered in the
neighboring streets. After the po-
lice had tried in vain to dispense the
workers, company of infantry was
summoned. But the workers re-
ceived the soldiers in a friendly man.
ner, mingled with them, and went
into lively conversation with them.
When shortly after that. two squad
rOns of Uhlans were let loose against
the workers, the infantrymen were
Immediately disarmed. and a regu-
lar battle occurred with the cavalry.
The commander Of the Uhlans was
the first to fall from his horse; Sc
riously wounded: two captains and
one lieutenant died on the spot, and
almost all the other officers came out
Of the fight badly wounded. The
workers captured one of the two ar
mored cars which had been brought,
and directed it at once against the
enemy.
The battle lasted for about two
hours. The victory was unquestion-
ably on the side of the workers. Of
the 80 dead and 20 wounded, the
great majority were of the attacking
cavalry; 10 horses were dead, and
about 100 ran wounded thru the city.
After the governor and district
commander had capitulated and a
sort of truce had been made, the
city found itself in the hands Of the
workers, who Immediately organized
a militia to preserve order. The dis
armed soldiers were held prisoners
in the Workmen's Home. The rest
Of the garrison which was of con-
siderable strength was kept shut up
in the barracks by the intimidated
military authorities.
The reformist "lcaders"-two So
cial- Democratic deputies-who OBJ
served the course of battle far from
the shooting, were even more fright
ened by the victory of the workers
than the government authorities.
They first Of all informed their Cen
trail Executive Committee in Warsaw
by telephone, and the Central Exec
utive Committee hurriedly looked up
the prime minister and offered him
with trembling to call off the general
strike and end the Whole fight, in
return for empty promises. On that
very afternoon the Central Executive
Committee Of the Polish Socialist
Party and the Trade Union Commits
sion already published their order
to the workers to break Off the gen.
eral strike Immediately.
To replace the recalled District
Commander, they sent, to Cracow,
General Zeligowsly, the conqueror
Of Wilma, who was greeted with ju-
biIation by tina Social Democratic
leaders and who-with their help
disarmed the workers and restored
"order."
But tho order TO break of the
strike was not obeycd everywhere.

especially so during the last year,
Communism has been gaining more
and more strength among the Italian
workers.
The "Alba Nuova", the Italian
Communist weekly, for instance, has
for the last year increased its circu-
lation from less than 1000 to about
10000 with new subscribers coming
in every week, mainly from the ranks
of the coal diggers. The paper has
succeeded in putting itself on a self
sustaining basis. Plans are now being
made by the Italian Section of the
Party to publish a Daily.
The actual Italian membership in
the Party is now about 800, consist
ing Of workers who formerly follow
ed the Socialist and Syndiealist posi-
ton and who are engaged mainly
in the Needle Trades, Textile and
Mining industries. At this moment
five field organizers are being toured
by the Italian comrades and with
good results. New branches are be-
ing organized in various parts of the
country. Twenty-four new branches
have been organized since last Oc-
tober.

Altho no single suggested amend
ment was cited, sentiment is most
favorable to the proposed amendment
of Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania.
This plan would enable the federal
