Burgomasters and representatives of
peasants declarations Of Eastern Tyrol

mously a resolution declaring they
would cease payment OF all kinds of
taxes beginning october %.

trict Tradesmen's Union also met to
protest against what was called the

The burgomasters and peasants said
starvation is staring them in the face

Their action, they declared, was "a lulu
before the storm" which would burst
with great violence unless the govern

vides a less costly administration, re-
duces the social burden, fights profiteer-
ing and introduces compulsory military

The tradesmen discussed taxes, which
