VIENNA IS QUIET,
81 DEAD

VIENNA. July 19.-Following the
violent flare up of fighting which
claimed 81 dead and nearly 500
wounded Vienna was almost normal
today. Newspapers blame Moscow
for the disaster.
The general strike was called of
at midnight after a series of con
/ ferences between Chancellor Seipel
and his ministers on one hand and
the executive committee of the So
| cialist party on the other.
Eighty-one civilian victims will
be buried in a single grave in the
Central Cemetery at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. Six police vic.
! Tins will be buried on Thursday.
The city government will bear the
expense of the funerals, and, to
avoid possibility of any disorders,
has decreed that only the executive
committee of the socialist party, a
delegation of workers organizations,
city officials and families of the
victims may attend the funeral.
Work will cease for Is minutes
throughout the country during the
period Of the funeral. Memorial
services will be held in factories
and shops.
Chancellor Seipel is preparing to
convoke Parliament in special sse.
sion Thursday to probe the dis.
turbances and enact remedial Iegis.
lation. Hundreds have been ar
rested.
Newspapers are appearing once
more although some are doing so
with difficulty as mobs wrecked the
plants.
Immediate steps will be taken to
restore the Palace of Justice which
was set on fire by mobs.
Despite the moderate attitude
adopted by the Socialists the Com
munists continue active. Pamphlets
have appeared agitating for war by
the proletariat.
A reorganization of the govern.
ment is likely after Parliament
conVenes.
Mayor Seitz has refused the gov.
eminent demand for the disbanding
of the municipal guards, who occupy
the city hall, andShas even increased
their numbers. Thus it seems that
complete peace has not been
achieved.
Portions of the press are raising a
cry against the Communists and are
demanding that Vienna be cleared of
the odium of being the center of
Communist activity in central Eu-
rope.
The German deputy, PECK, two
employees of the Russian trade dele.
cation in Berlin, and a number of
Bulgarian students have been ar
rested.
A member of the Russian trade
delegation in Vienna is among the
dead.
General opinion is that while the
Communists contributed to the riots,
they were not the basic cause.

TROLLEY SERVICE
 ATP.U. HEARING Removal Of Tracks Discussed in >. Hartford Today
 PUBLIC OPINION DIVIDED
Kcnsington Fire District Meeting Called for June 29-East Berlin
 Corner Scene of Auto Crash-An- other at Kensington-Itens.

Representative Claude w. Stevens spent the day in Hartford attending 2 hearing held in the office of the public utilities commission to de- eide whether or not the trolley tracks from New Britain to Worth ington ridge should be included in the new highway which will be started in the near future.
 The Connecticut company has ap- pealed to the commission for the right to abandon trolley service to this community. stating that the town is efficiently served through its buses and that the trolley service does not pay. It also claims that the safety of the new highway would be greatly enhanced by the removal of the tracks.
 Popular opinion as to whether or not the tracks should be removed, seems to be about evenly divided with a slight leaning in favor of abandoning of the service. Autopo- bilists are enthusiastic in their de- mands that the tracks be withdrawn while the bus and trolley patrons are in favor of a renewal of trolley service to Warrington ridge. claim ing that while the bus service is fairly efficient, the trolley service given before the operation of the new schedule which puts cars on the rails only at the peak of the rush hours, was more comfortable and efficient.
