Dawes Plan Strikes Reef.
While the Austrian railroads are
completely tied up and even the
postal, telegraph and telephone work
ers are talking strike, the left wing
of the German railway unions is
forcing the social-democratic union
officers to consider a general strike
in Germany at meeting to be held
today.
The huge success" Of the Dawes
plan in balancing the budget" is now
revealed as the capitalist side of it.
The social-democrat government is
permitting business to make so to 80
per cent Of profit, while wages are
either reduced or remain stationary
and the price Of bread and other
necessaries are climbing higher and
higher.
On the German railroads, the other
big complaint is the slashing dismiss
sails of workers. This was promised
in the Dawes plan and the dictator
sent from America, Owen d. Young,
fred tens of thousands of workers
and is still wedding" them out.
Yellow Socialists Can't Deliver.
Just as in Austria, the sociaI-dem-
ocrats Of Germany have created the
Illusion that all would be we'll If cap
italist reconstruction" was accepted
and all talk of "Bolshevism" sup
pressed. The party Of Ebert and
Noske began a campaign under the
slogan of cheaper bread But the
price is going up instead Of down. This
Illusion being exposed to the workers,
and their foreign dictators giving apt
illustration of capitalist ''reconstruc-
ton" the German workers, particular
ly the railway workers, now working
for a private corporation into which
the Dawes plan ordered the govern
ment lines be merged, are ripe for
strike

ing greatly STIRRED at the news that
Austrian railroads are shut down. The
strike is carried out with military
discipline. Not train has moved,
even the government failing to get
a train it begged for to take govern
ment officials to the capital.
The strike brings to q head the
crisis that has long threatened to ex-
plode under the SNUG hypocrisy Of
the League of Nations pretense that
its program was "rehabilitaing"
Austria
League of Nations Split.
In the face of the general strike,
news from all quarters indicate the
intention of Fascist Italy to invade
Austria with armed force to keep the
traffic lines open upon which italian
industry depends for coal, coke and
continental grains. This is supposed
to be in agreement with Czecho-
Slovakia to invade from the north to
keep rail lines open for its needed
constant communication with Italy
and the seaboard.
However, invasion by italy and
| Ozecno-SlOVakla would natly violate
the provisions Of the League of Ma
tons, not only because Austria is
a so-called Independent" nation
against which no armed invasion may
be launched unless approved by the
league council, but the invaded ma
ton being under the dictatorship Of
the league invasion Of it by armed
forceis practically making war upon
the League Of Nations by Italy and
Czecho-Slovakia who are both mem
bers Of the league!
League Warns It's Members.
Herr Zimmerman, dictator of Aus
tria appointed by the League Of Ma
tons, has warned italy and Czecho-
Slovakia against armed invasion, but
as the national interests OF both coun-
tries are suffering, no one can say
what will happen. Settlement Of the
strike depends upon the action of a
new cabinet to take the place of the
fallen government Of Seipel, the Cath
olic socialist pacihst.
