BEHIND A SOCIALIST BARRI-
CADE, VIENNA, February l3 R.-
The Austrian Socialists have only be-
gun to fight, one of their leaders told
me today.
He talked to me between skirmishes
at the barricade in Leopoldaur
Strasse, where am writing this. The
barricade is in the Floridsdorf district,
the factory area, surrounded by ring
of government troops
The leader told me:
Tell the Americans we are not
revolutionists. We are not trying to
overthrow the government. All We
want is a chance to live"
He is an officer Of the Republican
Guard. He is thin. middleaged and
smooth shaven, wearing an old but
serviceable rubber jacket, ragged
trousers and broken shoes
Face Death Anyway.
AS we talked he gazed at "a COM
radeS holding the barricade with him.
Not one had an overcoat, none a
whole pair Of shoes.
But the government is trying to
trample us down." he said. That is
the reason We fight.
I'VE realize our position looks hope
less, but there is only one death ahead
Of us anyway-it Is starvation, or a
bullet, or a rope.
Some day the world will recognize
that we fought for the preservation
of the rights of the working class,
which Chancellor Dollfuss, with all
his talk about the millennium, has ut
terly disregarded."
Like their leader, the other men
behind the barricade look worn, GER
tainly not overnourished, yet deter
mined.
All of them carried rifles of various
models. Some of the weapons ap-
parently had seen World War service.
Some we're rusty, some lacked their
sings and were slung over the
fighters shoulders, in periods of rest.
with rope.
Gets Cordial Send-off.
They were friendly enough TO me
after they had examined my creden-
tials, and I was given cordial send
of when I left.
Fearful lest their own comrades
might fire at my automobile, two men
of the barricade accompanied me past
several other barricades. Then they
fell back with the parting shout:
Friendship"
That is the Socialist party greeting.
A remarkable feature which l saw
in Floridsdorf was one of Vienna s
largest gas tanks, big enough to wreck
the whole section if it should explode,
standing completely unguarded.

SHOEMAKER SPEECH
ON LORTON REFUSED
Representative Unable to Take
Floor to Cite "Insanitary
Conditions

Representative Shoemaker of Mime
sofa made several futile attempts to
address the House today on alleged in
sanitary conditions in the laundry at
the District Reformatory at Lorton,
Va, which he charged were exposing
members of Congress and Government
officials to disease.
The first time Shoemaker sought
unanimous consent to make his ex-
pose of conditions at Lorton, but an
objection prevented him from taking
the floor. The second time he rose
to a question of personal privilege and
sought to introduce a resolution to
provide for an - yestigation. but again
he was rebuffed by point of order,
which Speaker Rainey sustained.
Shoemaker declared the informa-
tion he wanted to give the House re-
lated to "the personal safety" of the
members, because of conditions in the
reformatory laundry. Towels and
other linen used by members of Con-
gress in their offices and in the Gov
eminent departments in Washington,
he said, are cleaned in this laundry.
