Christian Socialists
Turn Loose Fascists
Arrested In "Putsch"

VIENNA, Austria, Sept. 10. The
most shameless cooperation between
the Christian Socialist party govern
ment here and the fascists has again
become apparent by the release Of
the leaders of the Austrian Helm
wehr (fascistS) taken in open insur-
rection a few days ago. The failure
of the fascist "putsch" was due not
to government action, but to the
fasciSts' own bad planning and the
certainty that the Austrian workers
would smash it tomorrow unless the
government pretended to do some
thing. So the leaders were arrested,
and now, with the Christian socialist
papers clamoring for amnesty for
them, the two principal ones, Prince
Rudiger Starhemberg, the big land
lord, and Major General Puchmayer
have been simply turned loose to go
where they please.
The fascist party has shown such
incompetency that the government
can not now give them power, but
the fascists are to be preserved to be
used as muderers of the workers
whenever they are needed.

NEW YORK.-Reporting the over
whelming rejection Of the wage cut
agreement Of the American Fedora
ton of Full Fashioned Hosiery work
ers special convention, the Daily

says that the Milwaukee local of the

shouted down at the Milwaukee To-
cal as he sought the floor to speak in
favor Of the wage slashes. The
workers insisted on voting on the
proposition first, the Daily News Re-
cord goes on to say.
The Milwaukee leader reports the
reason the men gave for rejection
the wage cut agreement as follows:
Members Of the local union as
well as Steele IA national vice pre-
sident) oppose the reduction on the
ground that in the past Year and
half they have already accepted
wage reductions amounting to 40
per cent and that each one of these
reductions was followed by even
greater reduction by the non union
mills and that 1t is almost certain
that the reduction now asked for
will also be followed by a further
reduction by non-uniOn mills"

sident of the Full Fashioned Hosiery

On August 1 the United States and

the critical situation. This credit was
used up in less than month and on

sum, more than one and a half times
the original has been practically used

to this the Bank of France has suu-

days.
Fear Deficit In France.
The British crisis is the result of
the acute sharpening Of the world

Argentine Govt Jails
26 Workers at Lecture:
u. S. Workers Protest

NEW YORK.-Word has just re-
ceived by the Worers Cultural Fed
Grafton that on Aug. IS the Uriburu
dictatorship in Argentine, acting in
collaboration with Hungarian fascists,
raided a lecture in Buenos Aires ar
ranged by the Hungarian Workers
Association and arretsed % workers.
The subject Of the lecture was moth
ing more revolutionary than the
Einstein theory Of relatively. In ad-
dition to raiding the lecture, the Uri-
buru police ransacked the library Of
the Hungarian Workers Association,
trying to find revolutionary itera-
ture; they found none.
Since their arrest the % workers,
both men and women, have been kept
in dismal cells and are forced to
sleep on the bare floor. They are
being threatened with deportation to
Cape Horn, a disease-infested place
where their lives will be in danger
1t is believed that the raid was in
stigated by three Hungarian fascist
newspapers in Argentine and by the
Hungarian ambassador, a notorious
white guard who took part in the
counter-revolution that drowned in
blood the Hungarian workers repub-
lie in 1919. Fearing the anger of the
workers, the Uriburu government
suppressed all news of the raid; 1t
has finally reached the United States
through underground channels.
The Workers Cultural Federation
has sent a protest cable in the name
of the 10000 members Of it's affi-
lated organizations, demanding the
immediate release Of the imprisoned
Hungarian workers All workers or
CARNATIONS are urged to enable their
protests to General Ur1buru, Buenos
