SECOND REVOLT
HITS AUSTRIA
IN YEAR

VIENNA July ~ N.N.o1.-
Engelbert Dollfuss, five-foot
Chancellor Of Austria, styled by
his friends 1.-THE Second Ma
poleon" and by his enemies
Butcher Dollfuss," was con-
fronted today by the second revo-
lutionary movement he has been
compelled to face this year.
DollfusS, who assumed office
as Chancellor on September 20,
1882, at first attempted to con-
cinate divergent elements within
Austria, the Socialists, who con-
trolled Vienna and other large
cities; the Heimwehr groups
which favored a Fascist state
along the lines laid down by
Mussolini in italy, and the
strongly entrenched Nazis who
favored union with Hitler Ger
many and were believed to have
received considerable financial
support from the German Nazi
organization.
He Cast His Lot
The doughty little chancellor
soon found his task hopeless.
Each of the three groups was arm
ing for civil war. He attempted
to play one off against another,
but finally was forced to cast his
lot with the Heimwehr Fascists,
who stood for an independent Aus
tria against the aggreSsions of the
Germans.
Dollfuss struck first at the
NaziS, who retaliated with wave
Of terrorism and bombings
throughout the republic. Thou
sands Of them fled across the Ger
man border, where they formed
an Austrian Nazi Legion said to
number 10000 men, ready to re-
cross the frontier and hurl Doll
fuss from power.
Unexpectedly Dollfuss struck at
the Socialists in February. Pro-
Tossing to have discovered evi-
dence of a widespread Socialist
plot against his government he
began a wholesale roundup Of
Socialist leaders, among them DR..
Otto Bauer, a former cabinet
minister and mayor of Vienna.
In this drive against the so
called revolutionists, Major Emil
Fey, then vice chancellor and
Heimwehr leader, and Prince
Ernst Rudiger Won Stahremberg.
leader Of the unofficial Fascist
groups, though bitter personal
enemies, Joined hands.
The Socialists resisted deSper-
ately.
Scores of Socialists were killed
and hundreds of others fled the
country. Many others were i'm
priSoned and some of them exc
cuted after court-martial despite
appeals for 1eniency by diplo-
matte representatives of foreign
powers.
Germany Warned
Nevertheless the British, French
and italian governments kept
their eyes glued upon Berlin, fear
ing that Germany might take
advantage of the situation to as
1Sist the Austrian NaZiS to over
throw Dollfuss while he was oc-
cupied with the Socialists.
The British and French foreign
offices united in declarations,
warning Germany to keep her
hands Of.
Premier Mussolini of Italy met
Chancellor Hitler at Venice and
obtained from him a pledge that
Germany would do nothing to
violate Austrian sovereignty.
A week ago two members of the
Socialist Schutzbund, or defense
corps, which was supposedly de-
prived of its weapons during the
February rebellion, were caught
attempting to plant a bomb on a
Danube River pier.
They were placed on trial yes
,terday and convicted after a
speedy hearing.

Autoworkers Bolt AFL
Demand Own Union

DETROIT-(FP)-The insistent de-
mand Of the autoworkers for an in
ternational union of their W has
caused withdrawal of two locals from
the American Federation of Labor.
One, the Hudson local, is the big
gest in the group of federal unions,
claiming 1000 members. The Odds
Motor local is smaller. They have
formed a loose central temporary or
ganization called the Associated Auto
Workers of America and are asking
other locals to join them.
Back of it all is the most vexing
problem faced by the labor movement.
What to do with the locals formed on
industrial lines as federal unions in
their relationship to the craft union
internationals. Specifically, many auto
workers want an international union
which will include machinists, engin-
GERS, electricians, pattern makers and
nearly a score Of other crafts. So far
each plant has had a local, affiliated
directly with the A. F. Of L., as are
small town federal unions, officework-
ers, etc.
The nearly 100000 autoworkers or
gained in federal locals have wanted
an international for months and at a
recent conference put up a fight for it.

MILK DRIVERS QUIT
ANTI-UNION BOSS
TO FORM COOP

SUPERIOR, Wis.-(FP) II Bosses
and especially anti-union bosses are not
needed in the milk business. Workers
and consumers can get along without
them, it was decided when the Rus
sell Creamery, biggest in Superior, re-
fused to recognize the milk drivers
union under NRA.
The drivers and inside workers to-
gether with milk consumers have in
corporated the Consumers Coopera-
tive Creamery Assn. and deliveries
have already been established. As Sub
erior is a leading cooperative city it is
possible that the new coop will occupy
the same dominant position here as
the Franklin Cooperative Creamery
does in Minneapolis. The Franklin is
again showing a net gain.
The milk is supplied by the coopera-
tive farmers of the Twin Ports and
the distribution will be by union EN-
ployes to comparatively organized con-
umers. The slogan of the new milk
coop is Every Family In Superior

VIM. Collins, A.F.of L, organizer, per-
suaded them to accept a national coun-
Gil under his control instead. When Col
Inns forced the council to ask that
Richard Byrd be displaced as labor
member of the Auto Labor Board" as
Arthur Greer, president of the Hudson
local put it, the two locals seeded.
The Detroit Federation of Labor sup
ported the opposition to Collins by
asking Pres. Green to remove him.
In addition to those who ask an in
ternational within the A.. F. of L.,
there, are groups which are FESTIVE
about certain federation policies. Two
locals, Chrysler and Kelsey-Hayes, OBJ
jected to Green's recent statement
condemning the San Francisco strike,
Kelsey-Hayes going so far as to call
it "~disloyal" and to criticize Collins for
not supporting the walkout there.

mittee's second report recently issued
regarding stock market and banking
activities, Secretary of State Hull con-
ferred with Senator Fletcher, chair

By FRANCIS ANDREWS
Editor, The Post, Organ of the British
Union of Post Office Workers.

Post office people, as a whole, do
not get enough pay to escape embar-
rassment and worry, while many OF
them are miserably poor. Indeed so
many of them are poor that to be their
chief can bring no satisfaction. The
GOODNESS of official papers cannot dis
guise, nor can official courtesies hide
these human factors for long.
An impersonal calculagraph philso-
ply with regard to living men and
women may have its uses; but in the
end, wages, bread and butter, roof
trees and rent have to be spoken OF
face to face, and the story they tell
has to be told in simple English. 1t
is to tell that story that our represen-
tatives ask to be received. = = =
The arithmetic of a wage issue is a
matter of addition, but the philosophy
Of it is deeper. Our people give the
greater part of their lives to work,
and concentrate upon it their attention
and enthusiasm. A world like ours, in
which poverty is a ~preventable disease,
should offer in return for the service
given an adequate and happy existence
as far as money goes.
There is more than that in it. 1t is
not really a case OF a gracious gift; it
is an economic necessity that the great
mass of the people should be buying
and consuming.
The highly productive State, with its
power to deliver the goods, has no
justification whatever unless it can
distribute as efficiently as it produces.
If that efficiency in production is not
used for the betterment of the COM
mon life it is being debased to other
causes, and in the end must bring dis
aster upon itself. To all thinking folk
that is self-evident.
A wage claim is but the demand that
common sense shall prevail. Therefore
a wage claim seeks for wider and bet
ter distribution of the produce of life.
Wider and better distribution is every
where demanded. 1t is not because of
crises that wage claims should be re-
fused, but to prevent crises that they
should be conceded.
1t is not true that if the pleople Of
Britain had shared steadily, and step
by step, in the advancing prosperity
throughout the years of industrial de-
%velopment, the whole world would
have developed differently, and that-no
money crisis would have arisen? That
seems a sweeping question, but it is
in accord with ascertainable history.

Public Owned Light Plant
Siashes Rates

WINNETKA, Ill.-(FP) - House
holders in Winnetka, gilded North
Shore suburb, will pay 10 per cent less
on their electric bills, apparently be-
cause the village-owned plant has been
making too much money. Winnetka
has put up several handsome village
public buildings from the profits Of its
plant. The wealthy residents don't
want the power trust to plumber them
but most OF them are against publicly
owned power plants for the rest of
the nation. 1t was a Hoover strong

us. STANDARD OF LIVING FALLS
AZ PER CENT in FOUR YEARS

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-T he CEN
sus of American business, part of the
bureau of census, has just released
figures which tell the story Of how
greatly the standard OF living has been
lowered in this country by the crisis.
Retail sales in 1888 were All per
cent below 1929.
Full-time retail employment in the
same period fell 30 per cent.
Payrolls for full-time retail en-
ployes were down AZ per cent.
Retail sales for 1888 totaled almost
$~25,75O,00O,000, some "A billions less
than in 1929. There was practically no
change in the number of stores.
About 100000 retail clerks lost full
time jobs, of whom approximately 65,-
600 were apparently kept on part-time.
Only $90,000,0O0 was added to the part
time payrolls in place of the $780,
100000 drop in payrolls for full-time
employment. Average annual earn
ings for all full-time positions dropped
from 1872 to 1892.

country have been saved and farm
debts of over $1O0,OOO,OO0 have been
adjusted by voluntary settlements
through the Intervention of county
farm adjustment committees appointed
by state governors, the Farm Credit

The success of the county commit
