The Austrian situation to

ROME, Feb. 14.-Italy is watching
the Austrian situation closely and is
ready to act the moment any inter
ference with Austrian independence
is threatened, it was said author
itatively today.
1t was believed armed Intervention
would result, although it would be
used only as a last resort. The ac-
ton of Chancellor Dollfuss against
the Socialists was described as Sex

VIENNA, Feb. IA. (By Telephone
to misunderstanding of Socialists
continued on an appalling scale to-
day when the government relent-
lessly advanced it's var to wipe
Socialism out in Austria.
The United Press estimate of
1000 dead appeared to be conserva-
tive but, beyond that, any figure
must be guesswork. The most tragic
part was that many women and
children apparently were victims in
the Smelling of crowded Socialist
apartment houses.
Semi-oficial sources estimated
roughly that at least twenty to
twenty-five women had been killed
in Vienna. Five of them were not
identified. Casualties among chill
dren were not known.
Ash Wednesday and st. Valen-
tines day will long be remembered
in the history of Vienna. Few of
the devout braved the bullet-torn
streets to visit church and have
the traditional cross of ashes
marked on their foreheads.
Socialists Losing Ground
The government forces, over
whelming the dauntless, but poorly
equipped Socialists by artillery, SUI
perior arms and military training,
seemed to be crushing the revolt
slowly, but it was a tedious and
sanguinary business.
Beginning today, and lasting
probably for days, the roll OF dead
will be increased by the hanging OF
Socialists who will be tried by court
marital under marital law and sen
fenced to death for desisting the
government with arms.
The heaviest fighting today vas
at the great Leopoldau gas works
in the Florisdorf area across the
Danube, where many were killed
before government artillery forced
the besieged Socialists to run up the
white flag.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-14
Rebels Resist StubbOrnly

Another desperate battle was
fought in Florisdorf in the siege of
the Geitenstade, huge Socialist
apartment house.
Driven from stronghold after
stronghold, the Socialists invariably
took up new positions and resisted
stubbornly.
Fighting increased late in the aft
ernoon in the simmering and Ottak-
ring districts. Authorities halted
trains from the Franz Joseph sta
ton within the city limits because
the defenders of the Karl Marx
house were shooting at passing
trains.
Women Are Aiding
Passengers were catching trains at
outlying suburban stations.
Among the women victims of the
shootings was the wife of the prom
inent Socialist deputy, Sever.
Realizing the strength of the wom-
en-, Vice-Chancellor Emil Fey broad
cast a combined warning and appeal
to them. He urged them to per-
suade the men to surrender and
prevent the needless sacrifice Of
many breadwinners."
Recalling the role that French
women played III the revolution, the
Austrian women were taking an ac-
tive part in the fighting, often aid
ing the men in loading and bringing
them ammunition.

But Wall Street wonders how and
when the debt can be discharged.
The carriers have been having a
hard time meeting their interest
payments in recent months, several
having gone into the hands of re-
ceivers, and their costs have been
on the increase due to higher wages
and pension requirements.
n
THE Government has made a
l. great many loans since Presi-
dent Roosevelt took Office. I'm
doubtedly some of these loans will
prove unsatisfactory from an invest
ment point of view. BY taking over
a railroad property the Government
would seem to have set a precedent
for action where its other loans are
concerned.
If this suppoSition is correct the
Government may find itself pos
sessed of considerable real estate,
many factories and all sorts of other
equities in the course of the next
four years. And, while the owner
ship may not be worth special at
tentior, the principle involved is i'm
portant.
Evidently the Government intends
to operate the Moffat. And no
doubt it will attempt to do so at a
profit. This will mean competition
with privately owned roads, and
the fact that it will not be obliged
to pay taxes may be construed as
unfair competition. Perhaps
freight may be routed over this
road because of the power to do so
which rests with the Government.
TINE Government, it must be
Il granted, is in rather tough
spot by reason of its loans. 1t
made the advances in the interests
of the country and because of the
emergency. 1t probably will be crit
icised no matter whether it adopts
a strict or lenient policy toward the
debtors. If it takes over the prop
erty securing the loans, in cases of
default, it can not keep out of the
realm which has been claimed for
private business, but if it refuses to
take them over it runs the risk of
having debtors refuse to make re-
payments even when they are able
70 do so.

HIGHER PRICES
FOR ARTICLES
OF FOOD seen
Quotations on Meats Will
Rise Sharply, Editor
Says in Study.

By imCe Special
NEW YORK. Dec. 25.-When that
economic fiction called the con
sumner" reaches this date a year
from now, he is going to look back
over 1885 as a year of increasingly
high prices for the things he eats,
DR.. L. V. Burton, editor of Food
Industries, declared today in a fore
cast of 1885.
THE picture of the future" he
said, lis not pleasing prospect for
the unenviable posseSsor of a slim
pocketbook, unless its owner is one
of those who will gracefully accept
the inevitable and be content with
eating substitutes for meat to a
large extent. For the fact is that
there is impending a shortage of
livestock, the like of which has not
been seen for about 30 years.
Prices which we are paying to-
day for meat can be expected to go
up considerably within the next
three or four months, although,
paradoxically, the United States
Department of Agriculture will do
its best to hold them down.
Cheaper Cuts Likely
people will turn to the cheaper
cuts of meat, to fish and poultry
and chess but long before the year
1885 is over, many a housewife will
have mastered the art of Whacking
up a corking good meal without
much meat.
Canned vegetables are in So
called normal supply today, but
when the drought of midsummer,
1884, plus the December Florida
freeze has gotten in its damage will
normal" supply be adequate? 1t
seems reasonable to expect that the
demand for canned vegetables will
push the prices somewhat higher
than they now are. Just how high
they will go will be determined by
the supply of raw vegetables, COM
ing in from the South during the
winter.
Breadstuff Surveyed
GAS far as breadStuffs are at
present concerned, there is not
much basis for anticipating higher
prices unless, of course, there should
be another drought in 1861 ca
lamity that is just as possible as it
was in 1884. 1t is still too early to
evaluate the real effect of the pro-
longed dry spell last summer. By
some observers it is considered to be
an impossibility in the future to
raise satisfactory crops in the
drought area for a long period of
years, if ever again.
when next March rolls around
we may know more about it, al
though it seems unlikely that the
worst will be fully known even then.
1t sometimes occurs that a little
rain at the right time can produce
a good crop, even though the soil
itself may be in reality losing moiS-
ture.
1T seems probable that the retail
food bill Of the United States will
increase about IS per cent over the
1884 figure"

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The pro-
/ posed plan sets up a Secretary of
Transportation as a member of the
Cabinet, whose sole function is 10
I supervise the operations not only of
the corporation" but also of all
forms of competing transportation.
All problems profoundly affecting
the prosperity Of the railroads are
included. Unless we have elastic
ity instead of rigidity We will make
no progress.
For example, local taxation today
eats heavily and unfairly into the
revenues of the railroads The sec
rotary will be charged with the duty
of studying this question with the
purpose of seeking and obtaining
some relief. if possible, for this COM
plicated problem.
Rivalry to Be Aired.
Also, the secretary will take up
the question of unfair competition
of trucks, buses, airways and in
land waterways. Such forms of
transportation, it is known, are paid
for in part by the Government,
states and municipalities, and even
indirectly by the railroads TO the
latter's detriment. Mergers, also,
shall become part of his scrutiny
and consideration.
He shall take the initiative in
such matters and devise suitable
| legislation to lay before Congress in
order effectively to carry out such
programs The secretary shall be
the administrative head, SO to speak,
the general supervisor. He shall
work in close cooperation with the
corporation" and be fully informed
as to the general plans and opera =
ton. He shall, by representation
or otherwise, eX-officio be mem
Der of the central board of di-
rectorS.
Broad Powers Urged
The powers of the Secretary of
Transportation should probe deeper
than merely supervising the cor
poration" or laying out plans for a
co-ordinated and balanced transpor-
tation system. For example, it
might not be amiss to devise new
method of selecting head executives
of railroads which might give OPP
portunity for new blood" to CRAP
pie with these problems of ire
mendouS compleXity.
The criticism that the executives
have been at fault may have little
or no merit, but advanced methods
of transportation and of equipment
might be a greater step forward in
increasing the traffic of the rail-
roads. Also, the Secretary of Trans
portation might give his attention
to the method by which the officers
of a railroad are elected. The pres
ent system of voting by proxies give
the owners of a railroad little choice
in the selection of their officers.
The stimulation of interest on the
part of the stockholders in selecting
their representatives and more in
formation as to those to be voted
for by stockholders in pivotal posts
their policies and accomplishments
might again be a step that would
help the solution of our present rail-
road problems.
